ee b w g T s SRSI ogte e S Pilgrim Strayed From = * Path of Righteousness John Billington was one of the Pilgrim Fathers. He led a tumultuous life, made numerous enemies and distinguished himselif by being the first person hanged in Plymouth colony. The day of His execution was one of triumph for the righteous. There had been a great deal of controversy as to whether Billington’s life should be taken, whether in fact the colony had legal right to hang him; but in the end the question was decided by expediency. : ey ' He was one of the signers of the compaet on board the Mayflower, that document which has so often been the theme o€ orators, His family were public figures from the beginning of the colony, and this man’s death at the hands of his fellow citizens was a turning point in the life of the settlement. Yet the inquiring reader will search far in school histories for any inkling that such an individual ever - existed. - : Textbooks for the new generation generally paint the Pilgrims as Godfearing, heroic people, who came to these shores so that they might worship the Deity in their own way. They are credited with courage, perseverance, democratic ideals, devotion to duty. But if ,one digs into the early records of -Plymouth for. the story of John Billington he will find that not all the Mayflower voyagers were lovely folk. There was conflict anfong them, and castelines, and doctrinal division. Discord had arisen on the ship long before land was sighted. Billington was hanged in Plymouth on September 30; 1630, ten years after the arrival of the 102 colonists off Provincetown. He had waylaid .a young man named John Newcomin, with whom he had quarreled, and shot him. Newcomin had interfered -with hig hunting deer. The defendant was arraigned before both grand and petit furies and was found guilty of wilful murder, “by plaine and notorious evidence.,”—John N. Beffel in McNaught's Monthly. : ' 4

~ What starts a lightning- flash, and what determines the path of a lightning bolt through the atmosphere?

A modern disciple of Benjamin Franklin, Dr. C. V. Boys, British physicist, proposes to answer these questions by shooting a rocket up into a thundercloud to see whether a lightning flash will follow the track of the rocket, either dewnward to the earth or upward from the earth to the cloud. Doctor Boys explains in Popular Science Monthly that the track of a rocket contains countless electrified atoms which are Qischarged as the explogive drives the rocket upward. K owledge .of whether lightning would follow such an electrified channel ~ through the air, -he says, might reveal many unknown facts about the nature of thunderbolts.

Last summer a sewer was being put on on the south side of the city. Two boys who lived on the corner persisted in crawling through the large pipes that were to be put in the ground. Alvin, the older, was so heavy he could not run, but Robert, the younger, was thin and wiry. - Their father had cautioned them-to stay away from the pipes, and he had asked ‘the foreman to-look after them. One day, soon after, while the boys were playing around the pipes, the foremgh came up and said: “I’ll give you boys just two minutes to get away from these pipes.” Robert jumped up, grabbed the man avound the knees, and shouted: “Run, Alvin, T'll. hold him!”"—lndianapolis News. - r ;

Each Baby Boosts Rent

* Each baby born in a London apartment causes the rent to automatically raise, according to a plan worked out by the landlord. Under an agreement recently submitted to a prospective tenant of a two-room apartment, the terms were: “Rent 20s. per week or 17s. 6d. on repairing lease, tenant doing his own repairs on going in. No children taken; above rent is for two persons only, or 2s. 6d. per week increase for every additional person or dfor every child born in the house. Two weeks’ rent in advance as standing deposit in lien of two weeks’ notice either side.” The rcoms were two small ones just under the roof of the building. ' - -

The Daido Denroyoku Kabushiki Kaisha of Tokyo have formed the Hokuriku Soden Kabushiki Kaisha (Hokuriku Electric Power Transmission Company, Ltd.), with a capital of 40,000,000 yen for a 50,000-kilowatt development on the Sho river in Toyama prefecture. It is estimated that power stations will cost the company about 22,000,000 yen, and 18,000,000 yen will be spent for transmission lines (154,000 volts) to Osaka. (The yen is now | worth 48 cents.) The project will \)'e completed early in 1929. : : : oy

Misplaced and Missing Let‘ters as Examples.

.~ What’s in a letter? A good deal, if the letter is inserted in the wrong place in a news, dispateh, or if it is missing. So the Maunchester Guardian discovered when it reported that “Elihu Root died on Tuesday, his eighty-second birthday, at his home in New York” It was no fault of the Guardian that in cablihg the message the letter “n,” which apparenily needed a guardian, had been lost. The message should have read: *“Elihu Root dined on Tuesday, his eighty-sec-ond birthday, at his home in New York.” : :

~ By being a. w. o. 1, this.little letter completely changed the purport of the dispatch. Had it eccupied its proper place, as did Mr. Root at the dinner . table, readers of the Manchester paper would have kooewn that he was not ' dead. They would have received assurance, moreover, that he was able to sit up and take nourishment. Indeed, if ‘the truth were known, it is entirely probable that the statesman ate an extraordinarily hearty meal in celebrating his eighty-second birthday, such a meal as no dead man and few octogenarians have ever consumed. This is not by any means the first time that an errant or wrongly placed letter has led to misunderstanding and ‘embarrassment. Commas and other punctuation marks have caused all kinds of mistakes in meaning and not a few legal tangles, and even spaciug between words has produced dismaying results, as in a line of poetry by Ella Wheeler Wilcox intended to read, “My-soul is a lighthouse keeper.” The typographical error which caused the line 10 appear, “My soul is a-light }hoqsek’eper.” indicates why poets, as a rule, die young. But she:hud no greater reason for perturbation than did Mark Twain—a report of whose death was also prematurely circulated, and humorously denied—when the editor -of his first published manuscript printed the name of the author as “Mark Swain.” Not only is it necessary to watch one’s “p's and ¢'s.” but also one’s “t’'s and n's.”” However, it is fortunate for Mr. Root and for the country .- that mistakes .in spelling, though they may result in an erroneous report of a man's .death, are not so serious as mistakes in medicine or surgery.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Motor Organ Players

Pipe organs.are now played by electric. motors so skillfully that. listeners in a recent demonstration at the great architectural show in New York were unable to tell' the difference betiveen inachiné operation and manual playing by an artist at the console. The motor compresses air which is released by a perforated paper -roll crossing a slotted bar., Each’ release makes an electrical connection which is communimated to one of the organ keys or contrql-s._ thus replacing the touch of fingers and feet.” The new mechanism makes it possible for thea. ters, lodges, and public halls to employ large pipe organs without musicians. :

Catapult Airplanes

_To save time, it is suggested that Atlantic l‘in’ers approaching their ports should discharge sniall airplanes laden with specially urgent mails and ‘parcels, ‘or, in exceptional cases, even ‘passengers, It has already been proved that airplanes can be Jaunched from the confined decks of ships by the catapult system, It has béen shown that airplanes with no human being on board can be propelled on to objects thirtj’-ﬂvg miles distant, and it is expected that this range will' shortly be increased to one hundred miles.

Corbina F urnishes Sport

_ The corbina, or surf, is well known to beach fishermen on the Pacific coast. This fish’ gamey and fastidious, the golden trout of the shore, is well ‘worth the- efforts of the sportsman. When hooked it will put up a splendid fight and will do everything except stand on its head to escape. During the season, rock worms and sand erabs are in great demand for corbina bait. Packages of bait are reserved days ahead by enthusiastic surf fishermen. and there is a great deal of comypetition for the largest fish.—H. R. Peterson in. Ad.enture Magazine.

Electricity in the South

Tremendous forward strides in industry and agriculture that have been taken by the South are fllustrated by the fact that five southeastern states, including Alabama and Georgia, increased their electric power consumption 2,500 per cent between 1912 and 1925. This is partially due to stimulation of farming, mining and steel making, and the fact that more than half the cotton weaving spindles of the nation are now in the South. It is anticipated that the increase in electric power consumption by 1935 will have reached 6,000 per cent.

Thoughtful Wife .

A South Carver citizen offers this contribution as the best joke of the week. He arrived home from work to find himself locked out. After considerable trouble he succeeded in prying open a window, through which he entered and found a note from his wife on the table. The note read: “I have gone to the movies! will be back at 10:30._You will find the key under the big stone at the right of the doorstep.”—Bosfon Globe, :
