Mutual friends have told me that

send just this word tof appreciation
for your splendid service on the com
mittee all the time that I was chair
man. Your election as vice-chairman
of the national committee was the
fullest possible evidence of the com
mittee's gratitude to you and their
confidence in your great future use

In the early daya of it history tb
republic of Home consisted of a city,
but wars of conquest extended It
dominion ever the whol Italian pen
insula. For centuries only the dtl
sen of Rome had a vote in the elec
tion of the ruler. The republic m
a conquering state, and extended Ho
man power a far norfn and west as
Spain, the British isles, Belgium, and
Germany, and a tar eaat as the Black
fsea. At first tb army consisted of a
levy of citisena. Aa Rom came to
need more than one army at once and
warfare grew more complex a stand.
Ing force was built up, and it was
largely- because of It superior equip
ment and discipline that the armies
of the barbarians, ' often superior la
numbers, were defeated and crushed.
The anlt of the Koman army of that
time was the legio, translated into
Knsllsh, tb legion. It corresponded to
a regiment In our army' but was much
larger, for a Roman legion contained
from 4,000 to MM0 men. They were
heavy Infantry with some cavalry. The
legion comprised the flrst-class troop,
n hlle the auxtlia, or auxiliaries, were
the troop of the second das.
At the time of the death of the first
emperor, Augustus, In tb year 14 A.
D the Roman army consisted of 25
such legions. Thla heavy infantry lost
much of It Importance when the bar
barian Invasion altered the character
of ancient warfare and made cavalry
a more Important arm than Infantry In
the lata Third and the Fourth cen
turies.
The word legion came to express
any large number with the accessory
Idea of order and subordination.

Werw'dreatly Indebted to Humble
Oaw and Man' Qui ok Percep
tion tor th Turbine.
The. bug hydro-electric power de
velopment now reaching every part
of the world owe its origin to a
homely Incident which took place In
California many year ago, in which
an early day miner and hi cow
were the chief factors.
Illstory and legond relate that on
a . not day In the rammer of 1800 a
typical placer miner of that period
tolled on his claim. To supply wuter
for 'washing the gold-bearing gravel
he, had provided long length of or
dinary hose, and a the fall above
waa considerable the water gushed
from the hose with decided force. A
the win aonk the cow came to the
working to slake her thirst, and was
In danger of upsetting some of the
sluice and other device of the
placer miner. So the man turned the
hoee on the cow. By chance tlie water
blast struck the cow In her cup-Ilk
nostril, throwing her head back
harply.
The man wo Lester A. Pel ton, out
from Ohio on a mining venture, and
later wjirid famous a -the Inventor
of the 1'elton water wheel, the de
vice which form the basis of the
great turbines which transform water
luto electric energy,
Pelton said many time that the
Idea of the Invention come to him
when he saw the effect of the water
blast coming In contact with the cow'
nose. Within an hour he was rigging
up a wagon wheel with, empty can
tied to the rim and was able to prove
the value of what was later to b hi
great Invention.
HIGH VALUE OF SAND BATHS
From' Finding of Danish Medical
Men, It Would Seem Their Impor
tance I Underestimated.
From the earliest history of man
baths of hot sand have .been used
to relieve bone and joint disease, es
pecially gout and 'rheumatism. Faber
and Plum, In a Danish medical Jour
nal, tabulate the findings during and
after the sand bath In a number of
case aa regard the pulse, respiration,
temperature at different points of the.
body and the blood pressure, urine
and changes in weight as well as the
effect on the pathologic condition.
Their conclusions are to the effect
that the bot sand bath seems to com
bine with the benefit from the heat
reducing pala and stimulating local
circulation a direct action on the
muscle from the wet gilt of the rand.
This relaxes the muscle and tends to
break up the various drclcqf pain and
muscle contraction. This relaxing ef
fect on the muscles from the' sheer
weight of the land has 1 beea over
looked before, they think, but. they
regard it a an Important factor la
the effect, promoting resorption ss
well s combating the possibly unsus
pected hypertonia In the muscles. An
other advantage of sand bsths is that
they can be graduated with precision
to fit conditions in the weakest The
only contraindications are febrile dis
eases, valvular defects, great Instability
of the circulation, and possibly anemia
and asthenia.
Wise Animals,
A polar bear in a zoological park
used to sit on a rocky peninsula that
ran out. into a water-tilled quarry.
Visitors were in the habit of throw
ing buns into the water and some of
them floated on the surface. It was
often easy for the bear to collect half
a dozen by plunging Into the pool, but
hd soon discovered a mre Interesting
way to get them. At the edge of the
peninsula It scooped the water gently
with Its huge paw and made a current
that brought the buns ashore.
An elephant In another garden used
to collect pennies from visitors. When
It got a penny in it trunk It put It In
the slot of kn automutlc machine
which delivered up a biscuit The an
imal rejected every other coin.
USED TIME TO ADVANTAGE
Napoleon Profitably Oooupled Hour
Which He Was Forced to Spend
In Unjust Confinement.
When Napoleon I was forming the
Code Napoleon, be astonished the
council of state by the readiness with
which he Illustrated any point In dis
cussion by quoting whole psssages, ex
tempore, from the Roman civil law,
a subject- entirely foreign to him, a
hi wAole life had been passed In tb
camp. On being asked by Trellhard
bow he had acquired so familiar a
knowledge of law. Napoleon replied t
"When I was a lieutenant I was
once 'unjustly put under arrest The
small room assigned for my prison con
tained no furniture, save an old chair
and a cupboard. In the latter was a
ponderous volume, which proved to be
digest of the Roman law. As I had
neither paper, pens, Ink or pencil, yon
may easily Imagine this book to have
been a valuable prize to me. It was
so bnlkv. and the leaves were so cov.
ered by marginal notes In manuscript
that had I been confined 100 years, I
need never to have been Idle. I was
only ten days deprived of my liberty,
bnt on recovering It I was saturated
with Justinian, and the decisions of
the Roman legislators. It was thus
I acquired my knowledge of the civil
low.

Embarrassing Moment
One evening my friend and I went
to church. As It was ruining we both
wore our rubbers.
We had to go upstair In the bal
cony because the lower part of the
church waa filled. My friend took hi
rubbers off and one of them accident
ally fell through the opening In thd
railing. The dirty wet rubber bit a
bald-headed man squarely on the top
of hi head. He turned around and
gazed at u long and hard. So did
everyone else. We made our escape
hurriedly with profuce blushes. Exchange.

usually very deep and therefore not
affected to any great extent by the

of the mine depends upon the loca

Appropriate, What?
The Church at Work, published by
the National Council of the Episcopal
church, tells of a resourceful native or
ganist who was called npon suddenly
to furnish the music for a mission
wedding ceremony at Hankow, China.
The bridegroom had recently become
a Christian. Following the custom,
he sent a beautiful sedan chair and a
brass band to escort the bride to his
home, where the ceremony was to be
performed. Something delayed the
bride, and the impatient young man
hurried down to the mission house,
where It was decided to have the
wedding on the spot A meeting waa
hi progress in the church, so It was
Impossible to have the brass band
play Whereupon one Elsie LI ' was
commandeered to play the wedding
march. There was no sheet music on
hand, and Elsie was not equal to the
task of ploying Mendelssohn from
memory. She was - strong, however,
on one good old march tune, and ac
cordingly the wedding party were dum
founded and amused a few minute
later when the bride and bridegroom
marched blithely forward to the altar
to the tune of "Onward Christian
Soldiers, Marching as to War."

Comedy Drama
at Antlers Soon
"The Unloved Wife" I a new piny
In three acts written by Florence
Edna; May, who In her latest play
gives a new twlsi to douiestle rela
tions, which comes., to the Antlers
theatre Wednesday night, May 17th
with a special matinee for ladles
only.
While Miss May's work is In the
main daring, the play lacks none of
the essential Ingredient to make a
popular appeal and is blessed with
one of the oest characters ever seen
In dramatic riroductlon. It idealises
God's fairest flower, American wom
anhood, and while the action Is grip
ping the author sweeps into your
heart like a tornado.
Cicely Courtney, the young wife,
does just what the authoress in
tended. In her fligbtiuess, her re
iterations and her "temperament"
she is superb. John Pennington, a
modern' St. Elmo, Grandpa Driscol,
Grandma Iiunny, Mrs. Marlon Court
ney, a butterfly mother, Phoebe
Courtney, her younger daughter,
Jim Plunkett, the boy next door, one
of the best comedy creations seen in
many seasons, and others, are the
character creations in the play, and
have been carefully cast and said to
be well acted.'
In short "The Unloved Wife" is a
play worth while and the scenic pro
duction provided by the management
all that could be desired.
"Passion Play" Result ef a Vow.
The Oberammergau "1'asslon Play,"
a dramatic representation of the suf
ferlngs of Christ, originated from a
vow made by the Inhabitants of the
little Bavarian vllluge in 1033, with
the hope of staying a plague tliei
raging. The original text probubly i
was made by tlie monks of Kttal, but
the parlxh priests have since carefully '
revised It. The music was composed j
by Kochus Ltedler In 1814. The pluy i
Is given by amateurs In a purely fever- I
entlal spirit, and not for gain. It re-
quire a cast of about seven hundred
persons. In 1001 an fSO.OOQ pluyhouno
