SIGN USED FOR CENTURIES

Probably the Three Golden Balls Is the Oldest Symbol Known to Civil. ‘ ized Worid. :

‘ln the days when only a few pegple could read, emblems and pictures were used instead of letters for advertise ment. One of the best known street signs surviving from those days is the pawnbroker’s sign: three golden balls. One story of its origin is the legehd of St. Nicholas aid three doweries he gave the daughter of a pauperized nobleman in Asia Minor. Why St. Nicholas, or as we love to call him, Santa Claus, should be connected with pawnbroking, the story does not relate, Another theory is that the three gold balls originated as a coat of arms of three gold coins, meaning “money to lend,” and that balls° were found an easier sign to make than coins. This coat of arms was used by the Lombard merchants in London, the moneylending class of the days.of the Black Prince, whose father, Edward 111, once pledged his crown with them to get money for the French wars. Lombard street, ‘London, Eng., is named after these gentlemen who used to live there. The Lombards were the virlle north Italians, of Teutonic stock like the English. Pawnbroking is one of the oldest businesses in the world.

HEAR FOOTSTEPS OF SPIDER

Microphone - Able to Detect Sounds Which Would Seem to Be Abso- : . lutely Inaudible.: . Two sclentists have been ligtening tothe tramp of a spider. =~ By means of the ordinary carbon mi: crophone very faint sounds can be detected, and long ago, David Edward Hughes, one of the pioneers of wireless and the inventor of the microphone we now use on our telephones, was able to hear on his microphone the tramp. of a fly. S : " There are some wonderful crystals which, when subjected to 4intermittent pressure,- give rise to electric currents and give forth sounds, and they, too, can be used to magnify inaudible noises. Crystals of, quartz, tourmalin, “feldspar, sugar, camphor, and so on, have these remarkable properties; but the crystals most responsive to ‘pressure are the crystals of rochelle salt which are found in seldlitz powders. By means of these rechelle salt crystals two electricians, Mrs. Russell and Mr. Cotton, have lately been. able to ‘hear a small spider walking about. “They do not describe the sound of the spider's footfall; but we should imagine that it would be more of & shuffle than a fox-trot. Certainly net a two-step ! —Montreal Family Herald.i

Words Wrongly Used.

The following are some words that are often wrongly used: “decided,” Tor instance means “strong”; ‘“decisive” means “final”; a decided opinion is quite different from a decisive 'opinion. “Each other” should never be used for “one another”; ‘“guess” is loosely used for “suppose,” “expect” or “intend,” but such use is avoided by the best writers; “party” should never be used for “person”; ‘“further” means additional,” “farther” refers to distance; “propose,” meaning “to offer,” should not be confused with “purpose,” mesaning “to intend”; ‘“discover” is to find something which previously existed; “invent” 1s to produce something for the first time; “locate” is a vulgarism, when: used for “settle”; “perception” means the inlet of all the materials of knowledge; “apperception” means the knowledge that one possesses these materials; a man with perception knows, a man with apperception knows that he knows. ! ~Another “Porterhouse” Story. _ One of the most popular and widelyknown eating houses in southern Ireland at the time the corn laws and tithes in Ireland ran out along about - 1836, was the “Two Pot House” in Cork. That meant that one could get potatoes and bread and butter and’ two pots of porter, together with getting one’s steak cooked, for one shilling (or 25 cents). A The custom was for the wayfarer to Cork to buy a steak at some place en route and bring it with him to thei “Two Pot House.” Thus after a,time it became the designation for the meal ~ of porter and steak, and subsequently a porterhouse steak—meaning a steak of one’s own at the porter house. Thus, goes one of the numerous stories of its origin, came the term “porterhouse steak.”

Caterpillars’ Eyes in Odd Place. - Caterpillars with eyes on their abdomens, and. male insects growing female wings, have been raised by Stefan Kopec of the government institute for agricultural research at Pulawz, Poland, He had removed the. simple eyes and their surrounding tissue from the heads of caterpillars and grafted them on the abdomens of these insects.. The germs of these mature eyes developed normally, notwithstanding the absence of any junction with the nervous chain. ' He performed a similar operation and exchanged the wings of the male and female caterpillar moths. These wings continued to develop, but retained the color and characteristics of the sex from which they had been ‘taken, instead of showing the hue of the,_ specimens on which they devel- : oped. ‘ : !
