Modern Coed Has Own Standard of Freedom I have come In contact with a num ber of modern coeds at various insti tutions; and many of them have been able, not to say willing or eager, to discuss excessively delicate subjects with the utmost freedom, as long ns the discussion remains on a sclentilic or dispassionate basis. If there Is anything that many modern coeds will not talk about 1 don’t know what it is. I am quite unable to state, however, that they are Infinitely more sophisti cated than their mothers, or than the preceding generation of coeds; be cause I have no way of knowing how much their mothers knew. 1 have a strong suspicion, however, that their mothers knew a great deal more than they admit knowing; and It seems quite obvious that a great many dow agers who stand deliciously aghast at the conversation and the crimes that are laid at the door of the younger generation are ready to listen to ti e conversations and to repeat them at every opportunity. I might even go so far as to hint that if opportunities do not present themselves, they make their own op portunities. Tt takes a high-grade of statistician to worry the inner mean ing out of this state of affairs.—Ken neth L. Roberts, In the Saturday Eve ning Post. Clock Made for Pope Marvel of Ingenuity The most beautiful clock In Eng land Is said to be found in the Brit ish museum. It Is believed to have been made by Pope Sixtus V, that pontiff, brought up (as some tell) a swineherd, who amassed when he reached the holy see such treasures as eclipsed the wealth of Europe; to whom much of the magnificence of Rome Is owed. Three stories high It stands, telling on Its dials the fast days, the signs of the Zodiac, the motions of the sun and moon In their course. Besides the minute dial a cherub raises a sickle as the hour strikes, while his neighbor turns an hour-glass over. But you will need all your eyes for the topmost story, divided Into four balconied tiers. On the lowest the gods of the days of the week pass slowly round. Above, the Mrgln and Child are seated, before whom an gels make obeisance as they pass by. | Next the four ages of man strike the quarters on a bell. On the topmost balcony Death comes forward at the hour and strikes a bell, the figure of Our Lord retreating meanwhile. Crowning It all a beautifully molded cock porches on the dome; and when the chimes have rung he flaps his wings and crows I Scene of Bloodshed The famous Slglrlya rock of Cey lon has a story of blood behind It, says an article In the Times of Ind a. Standing 11 miles from Duambulla on the Trlnco road, It rises sheer to a height of 450 feet above the sur rounding plain and was the strong hold of one Kassapa who seized the throne after killing his father and attempting the life of his brother. Kassapa lived there for 18 yean and during that time he built cis terns, courtyards and palaces on the rock. Eventually he was defeated and killed In battle by his brother.
