Early Diving Suit
The diving suit Is not so new as
one might think. A patent was grant-
ed to John Stapleton on March 17,
1693, for “a new engine so by him con-
trived as to permit a person enclosed
in it to walk under water, and to a
new Invented way to force air into
any depth of water to supply the per-
son in the said engine therewith and
for continuing a lamp burning under
water; also a way to descerate and
purify the air so as to make the same
serviceable for respiration.”
Chinese Delicacy
Chop suey originated at a dinner
that Prince Li Hung Chang gave in
New York when he made his trip
around the world. Prince Li carried
his own chef with him, and the menu
was strictly Chinese. One of the dishes
especially delighted the wife of the
guest of honor, and she asked Li what
it was. Prince Li called in his chef,
and the chef replied in Chinese, “It is
a creation of my own—a chop suey.”
The words “chop suey” mean a mix-
ture, or hash. Prince Li said in Eng-
lish, “It is a chop suey.” The Ameri-
can woman spread the news of chop
suey, the wonderful dish. The name
was taken up by the Chinese restau-
rants in America, and today chop suey
is the chief concoction that they serve.
Baby Carriages First
Used by Royal Families
Baby carriages did not make their
appearance until the middle of the
Ninteenth century, when, according to
a historical sketch published by a car-
riage company, a man appeared on a
street in New York and attracted a
good deal of attention by pushing a
baby carriage which he had designed
and made. That man was Charles
Burton, a lithographic artist who had
come from England, and who returned
to his home country with his baby
carriage as soon as he discovered that
he had hit upon a popular idea.
He made some more carriages in the
parlor of a house near the Kensington
palace and almost immediately re-
ceived orders from nobility and roy-
alty, including Queen Victoria, who
bought three, Queen Isabella of Spain,
who bought one, for her son, later
Alphonso XII, and others. The royal
houses quickly learned of the con-
venience of the baby carriage, and it
reached the homes of the poor.—Detroit
News.

And They Got the Point
A negro evangelist was preaching
concerning the horrors of hell. In
front of him was a coffin piled high
with flowers. Newspapers had an-
nounced that it was to be the funeral
of a neighbor. There was no word of
praise from the preacher’s mouth.
“Breth’eh an’ sistahs,” he shouted,
“ouah deceased friend heah done com-
mitted eve’y sin in de catalog. He
wasn’t ready when de trumpet of de
angel called him. He was unprepa’ed.
He was wicked an’ had to face judg-
ment in his wickedness.” At the end
of the sermon every member of the
congregation was eager to crowd for-
ward and view the “remains.” Solemn-
ly they filed past the coffin. It was
empty but in the bottom was a mir-
ror that reflected the face of every
“mourner” that looked in. The lesson
went home.—Capper’s Weekly.

DID YOU EVER STOP

The widow of a farmer was being
consoled by a neighboring farmer,
who happened to be a widower.
“Cheer up, woman,” he said. “Ye’re
young yet, and good looking, an’ you
could soon get another husband.”
“Oh, no, no,” she replied, “who
would take me?”
“Why, if I had a better pair of boots
on I’d run away wi’ ye myself,” said
the widower, gallantly.
The widow, lifting her face and
wiping her eyes, said, earnestly: “I
wonder would John’s fit you?”—

China is an excellent country
in which this test can be watch-
ed. Its effect is noticed not
only upon our citizens, but up-
on our military officers who
learn to sip tea, and our diplo-
mats who worry more over the
social opinions of their contin-
ental neighbors than the re-
spect of their fellow citizens.
It truly is difficult for an
American to adfciere staunchly
to his political theories in the
Far Eastern atmosphere, where
to disbelieve that czarism and
kaiserdom will return to power
and that the Chinese attempt
at a republic is bound to fail is
to invite social ostracism by
neighbors whose principal task
in life is to wear a monocle,
tuxedo and cane.

Bobbed Hair Proved to
Have Been Viking “Fad”
It has bee» definitely proved:
Bobbed hair v.as the fashion over a
thousand years ago. It chnnot be
claimed that it conquered the entire
world at that time, but we know ab-
solutely that the ancient Vikings, the
robbers and seafarers of old, knew
the style. This astounding fact, to-
! gether with many others of perhaps
less interest but even greater scien-
tific importance, has been established
through the discovery near Tilsit, East
Prussia, of a huge Viking burial place,
dating from the Ninth, Tenth and
Eleventh centuries. The finds are un-
usually rich. Each man’s grave con-
tains three or four iron swords, as
many as a dozen lanceheads, bronze
belt buckles, stirrups and snaffles. In
the women’s graves jewelry ef all
kinds was found, bronze bracelets,
rings, necklaces, all beautifully
wrought. A young woman with bobbed
hair was faund in one of these graves,
with “appers” used in place of but-
tons or phis to fasten garments.—Ed-
gar Ansel in the Chicago Daily News.
