Saul of Tarsus, known as Paul after his conversion, referring to him self (II Cor. 10:11), says “his bodily presence Is weak and his speech con j temptlble.” Ernest Renan, the French : writer, after consulting Jewish and} Roman writings, says of him: “Paul j was small In size, and his personal ap pearance did not correspond with the ! greatness of his soul. He was ugly short, stout and stooping, and his broad shoulders awkwardly sustained a little bald hend. His sallow counte nance was half hidden in a thick j beard; his nose was aquiline, his eyes j piercing, and his eyebrows heavy and i' Joined across his forehead. . . . His 1 constitution was not healthy, though! at the same time Its endurance was proved by the way in which he sup ported an existence full of fatigues and sufferings.” Roger Bacon’s Speculum. ( The camera obscuru, prototype of the photographic camera of today. Is said to have been known to Roger Ba- 1 con —who lived In the thirteenth cen- j tury. By some authorities he Is even i being credited with its Invention, says - James Thomson In Photo-Era. The “speculum” of Roger Bacon, , however, may have been simply of the order of the “busy-bodies” commonly employed In some continental Euro pean countries, and not unknown In Philadelphia, where In old parts of the city they may be seen in use almost any day. The “busy-body” Is a mirror fas tened outside of a window at such an angle as to reflect the view up the street. Banning Wins Case In Court Atlanta. —Charles F.

United States Judge William T. Newman rendered the opinion that Banning nov is an American citizen, was a citizen at the time of his intern ment and, therefore, is entitled to his i discharge.
