and recount the funny things that hap
pened In Cincinnati and Chicago. And,
of course, the discussion proceeded to
the point where some om* bad to de
cide what w?s really the funniest j
thing, and finally It was decided that !
"Hype" Igor's atory, which was cred- i
ited to Manager Hawka of the OlbftpQ
house, was entitled to the prlxe.
In keeping with modern methods, |
they ha**,, at the Olbaon( a system |
whereby employees of the hotel are i
furnished with information aboutv*j
what Is going on in the house. It Is
advantageous for the employees to be
fully Informed, anyway, and It la de
alrable that they may be able to In
telligently answer questions which
may be addressed to them by the
guests. Therefore, a bulletin la posted
?t the headwalter's desk In each res
taurant and at other places in the ho?
tel conveying general Information
which employees should have.
Two gueata , arriving in the dlrtlng
.room for breakfast one morning, no
ticed a number of indivlduala at other
tablea wearing badges.
"Who are those people with badge#
on?" one of them a^Jced the colored1
waiter.
"Jess a minute, bosy," replied the
waiter. "Ah'll fin' out foh you In Jesa
a minute." .
The waiter hustled over to this bul
letin board with a confident air. He
atudled around uncertainly. There
wasn't another waiter In sight and the
dining room wfcs all but deaerted. He
gave the bulletin board a pained and
regretful glance. This Is what was
posted there:
"Convention this week of the Na?'
tlonal Association of Gynecologists, >
Obstetricians and Anesthetists.** j
The# waiter returned to the table
where he was serving and. busied him
self assiduously but allently with the
dls^s and silver. After he had put
each knife and fork In three new posi
tions, the questioner at the table said :
"Did you find out who those men are
with the badges on?"
"Oh, yes, boss," he replied. He had
the air of one who has just casually '
overlooked a perfectly trivial matter.
"Tea, boss," he said, as he polished a
glasa and held it up to . the light to (
observe the effect, "dem are de ? dem
aye de dentists." ? Cincinnati Times- I

Dlveralty Among Students.
The influence of personal ability or
mental habit on such scientific work
aa making astronomical drawings has
been the aubject of intereatlng expert- j
menta by T. L. MacDonald at the Uni
versity of Glasgow. A drawing of
Mars by Artonladl, a photograph of
the moon, and another picture were
submitted to six students, who were
requested to make copies but were
given no suggestion as to what should
be visible or how It should be drawn. \
The diversity of the drawings pro
duced was surprising and curious. Each
. student showed spoclal skill In noting ;
some one feature?either canals, lakes, ]
or gradations of shading ? and the atu
dent whp best drew the canals saw I
the smallest number of shadings. The
distinguishing . characteristics of each
individual persisted remarkably \
through all his drawings. It is con- i
eluded that planetary astronouiefW i
may be divided Into three classes--? '
distinguished by canal, spot and shade j
sensitiveness ? and that their drawings
should be subject to corresponding cor- 1
rect Ion's.
Head* of Church of England. j
The highest office in the Church of
England in hold by the archbishop o t 1
Canterbury, officially known as pri- J
mate of all England, In distinction
from the archblahop of York, who Is
simply primate of England. The juris*
diction of the latter extends ovet
th? province or county of York, which
Includes ten dioceses In that part of
England from the Humber to the Dee
and embraces the Isle of Man as well.
The rest of England Is under the
jurisdiction of the archbishop of Can*
terbnry. That dignitary, however, ai
primate of all England, Is supposed to
possess a certain authority over the
church In the whole country. He
takes precedence on all public occa?
slons, not only of the archbishop of
York, but of all the nobility save the
Immediate members of the royal fam
ily. He crowns the king, but the queen ?
is crowned by the archbishop of York. |
Two Freak Checker Board*.
Probably the most extraordinary
checker board In the world was con
structed at St. Leonards, In Sussex,
England, in 1801, says the Columbua
(0.) Dispatch. It was made of solid
blocks of concrete three feet thick
and its surface covered an area 2 feet
square. The pieces were moved by
hooked iron rods, mnking the game ]
of value ns physical as well as a men
tal exercise.
A checker board which was pr?
sented to Bismarck at the height of
his fame Is said to have been tho
most costly thin*; of Its kind ever
made. The squares were made of
gold and silver inlaid upon an ebony
base. There were 24 "men." 12 of
gold and 12 of silver. In the . center
of each gold piece was a A?by, while
nach of fne silver pieces was mloroetJ
with a diamond. The outtU was val
ued at (he lime at alH>u< $l-?,000.

His savings of $500 have been apent to

He was first arrested October 15.
1019, for fraud at Gloucester. Five
days after his release be waa arrested
again and taken to Ohesterfleld, In
Derbyshire, where he ^as remanded
for trial on the declarations of four
persons that there could be no doubt
ha Waa* the man who had defrauded
them. Yet he^jiever had been to Ohea
ter field before In his life. At the Der
byshire assixes he proved that on the
day of the fraud he waa at the Uttox
eter market in Staffordshire. Fourteen
old specimens of bis handwriting were
produced. None of thean was anything
like the criminal'*. ...
? The Jury promptly acquitted Per
kins. While his friends were congratu
lating him in the courtroom a police
man pressed forward and arrested him
for other alleged frauds. They dragged
him off to Hull police . station* where
Perkins aays he lay that night wonder

in Hull he was again positively Iden

In Hull prison before his trial. This
time he had 14 witnesses to prove his
presence at varlpus markets 'distant
from Hull on the*clates that the frauds
were committed.
"I could have produced sixty wit
nesses, " said Perkins, "but it took my
last cent to pay the fares of the four
teen."
The operations pf the "slick" double
hurt the police nearly as much as Per-'
klns. They have four warrants for bla
arrest for a number of other frauds
committed at Burton-on-Trent, 'Peter
borough, Bristol, and Leicester. The
warrants are pigeonholed for the time
being. The police are ruminating.

Future Rapid Travel.
Mr. Lindsay Bashford, writing In the
Edinburgh Itevlew, foreshadows a
London to Calcutta Journey by rail In
a fortnight. ?
j ^fTlie Bagdad railway,*' he fcays, ^be
gins at Konla, in the heart of Asia
Minor, where, by means of the Ana
tolian railway, it connects with Con
stantinople. From Constantinople to
Aleppo the distance Is some 850 miles.
From Aleppo, the line proceeds to
Jerablus, on the Euphrates, and
thence by Nisibin to the important
, center of Mosul on the Tigris; thence
southwards to Bagdad and to Basra.
The distance from Aleppo to Bagdad
Is about 050 miles.
"Carry the imagination further, and
we may reasonably picture, under the
new political arrangements between
Great Britain and Persia, the extent
slon of the Bagdad railway to Tclie
ran, and thence to Quetta and India.'
That done travel 'overland' between
London and Calcutta should be a math
ter of less than a fortnight."

Revenge.
Sucking a stick of candy, the small
brother of the village belle eyed the
visitor. The belle aforesaid had seen
fit to administer severe punishment,
and the' small boy was seoklng ven
geance.
"I know why Gwendoline w'ears her
hair bunched down over her ears," he
breathed between the sucks and grins
maliciously.
"Do you?" asked the young man,
to whom any news concerning his
adored one was welcome. "Won't jou
tell me?"
"No," he replied ; "1 daren't tell any
one. But if ihy ears were as big as
Gwendoline's are I'd do it, too.M ?

Another Ua# for the Airplane.
Kcllpse observation by airplane is
declared by Paul W. Merrill to be not"
chimerical. A Ir.odern plane could
readily surmount any ordinary fog or
curanlus cloud,1 though cirrus Is usual
ly too high, and, "aside from cirrus
clouds, the observer would have a
wonderfully clear dark sky. And pho

th* question. A DcHavIlnnd plane
with a Liberty iLotor, at 10,000 feet
altitude, rides more smoothly than a
