ORIGIN CF SUNDIALS.
The Chaidecns, it 15 Said, Made the
First Ones Used.
The Chaideans claim the honors
of the first sundial, and from them
the knowledge of it found a way
throngh Egypt and Greece. Herod
otus says that the Greeks learned
from the Chaldeans the art of mak
ing dials and dividing the day into
twelve parts, and while many allu
sions are found in Greek literature
bearing on the length of a shadow
in telling the time of day no expla
natien is given of how this measur
ing is done. A story is told of a
man who was invited to dine when
a shadow was twenty feet long,
which was about the hour of 5 in
the afterroon, according to the
host’s reckonine, but the overans
ious guest mistook the invitation ‘o
read according to morning shadows
and arrived before the feast was
served.
This story finds a parallel in the
memories of many who have visited
in secluded mountain districts
where the mountaincers tell the
time of day by the shadows that
ereep from summit to summit. The
Arabs were the very first to intro
duce sundials showing the hours of
equal length. T'he oldest now in ex
istence, however, give signs of
Greek workmanship. One is found
in Egypt at the base of Cleopatra's
Needle, and another, the most pre
tentious of sundials, i 3 in Athens—
the Temple of the Winds, in reality
an octagonal building with a dial
on each of the eight sides. Many
Greek dials were hemicvelean in
form, while those of the Scandina
vians and Saxons were vertical or
horizontal.
St. Augustine introduced the Ro
man system into England, and
many of the old churches in Eng
lan} have vertical sundials over the
doors, and throughout England and
Scotland they are frequently found
on the side of houses, while the hor
izontal dial is used in the garden or
on the lawn. In time they became
the fashion, princes made gifts of
them, and they were considered -ap
propriate monuments to the dead,
and they became more handsome
and elaborate in design. A fine
sample of the art is that at Glamis
castle, which has eighty-four gno
mons.
The simplest design . that primi
tive block of stone with a dial en
graved upon it and a rude gnomon,
or triangular projecting piece, which
by its shadow shows the hour of the
day. The word fnomon, or gnom
mone, is fancifully a derivetian—
“ine Know man or gnowman of a
dial, the shadow whereof pointeth
out the howers.”—Kansas City Star.
Egypt’s Sacred Beetles.
The scarabaeus, the sacred beetle
of Egypt, was an object of worship
in olden days and was mest careful
ly embalmed at death. The ancient
Fgyptians believed the heart to be
the center of intellect as well as the
source of life and removed this or
gan when the embalming process
took place, a model of the scara
baeus being put in its place. There
are many varieties of this sacred
beetle, as the monuments in Egypt
show. The scarab was the favorite
insignia of both men and women
and was worn as a charm to protect
from harm and insure desirable
qualities to make them attractive.
Many\ hard stones were used for
these models, and turquoise matrix,
lapis lazuli, jasper, amethyst, agate
and onyx were much in favor.
Some of the ancient ones are clever
ly cut and were used as coin of the
realm. The finest are found with
the mummies in old tombs.—Argo
naut.
“Billington’s Sea.”
There is tangible evidence that
the pious passengers of the May
flower were not entirely without a
sense of humor. Back of Plymouth
over the hill upon which they
planted their cannon is a large
fresh water pond perhaps a mile in
diameter, which, it appears from
the records, was discovered by John
Billington while he was prowling
around one night, probably on a
scouting expedition looking for In
dians, Tn the morning he reported
that he had found the sea in that
direction, and there was a lively dis
pute between him and the other
pilgrims as to the accuracy of his
information. He stuck to his the
ory with the same tenacity that he
adhered to his religion, and to this
day that pond is called “Billing
ton’s sea.”
Not His Legs. ‘
A Russian peasant, having gone
to the town to buy himself a pair
of new boots, fell asleep by the
roadside on his way home and was
stripped of his cherished boots by a
light fingered tramp, but his sleep
remained unbroken till a passing
wagoner, seeing him lying half
across the track, shouted to him to
“take his lags out of the way.”
“My legs?” echoed the half
aroused sleeper, rubbing his eyes.
“Those legs ain’t mine. Mine had
boots on!”— Paris Figaro.

BONAPARTE AT JAFFA.
His Orders Regarding the Poisoning of
Stricken Soldiers.
Professor Torgue of Montpellier
in a lecture on the respect that
practitioners should have for hu
man life told the story of Desge
mettes, which, though well known,
is worth telling again, aa it is told
by Desgenettes himself,
When the French were about to
evacuate Jaffa the question arose
what was to be done with the
plague stricken soldiers in the hos
pital. Desgenettes says: “Shortly
before the raising of the siege—that
is to say, on the 27th—General
Bonaparte sent for me very early
in the morning to come to his tent,
where he was alone with his chief
of the staff. After a short preamble
as to our sanitary condition he said
to me, ‘lf I were you I should end
at once the sufferings of those
stricken with plague and should end
the dangers which they threaten us
by giving them opium.’
“I answered simply, ‘My duty is
to preserve life.” Then the general
developed his idea with the greatest
coolness, saying that_he was advis
ing for others what in like circum
stances he would ask for himself.
“He pointed out to me that he
was, before any one clse,” charged
with the conservation of the army,
and consequently it was his duty to
prevent our abandoned sick from
falling alive under the scimiters of
the Turks. ‘I do not seek,” he went
on, ‘to overcome your repugnance,
but I believe I shall find some who
will “better appreciate my inten
tions.”” Desgenettes goes on to
say that opium was, as a matter of
fact, given to'some thirty patients.
It happened, however, that a cer
tain number rejected it by vomit
ing, were relieved, got well and told
what had happened. The story has
been told in various ways, and the
fact of the poisoning of the sick
soldiers has been accepted by the
enemies of Napoleon and denied by
the defenders of his memory. Des
genettes’ narrative bears the stamp
of truth.—British Medical Journal.
Tough on Papa.
Margaret has learned to spell a
few words, among them doll, pig,
boy, papa, ete.
Recently a visitor, learning of the
new accomplishment, asked her,
“What does p, i, g, spell?”
“Why, papa, of course,” answered
Margaret. Every one laughed ex
cept ‘papa. Somehow he couldn’t
see the joke at all. — Washington
