Royal Splendor That
Once Dazzled Europe
Europe was dazzled by a display of
royal pomp uuequaled in the history
of pageantry, when Henry VIII met
Francis I of France on the Field of
. the C’ioth of Gold.
For his entertainment a temporary
palace was built at Guines, near Cal-
ais, covering three acres. No fewer
than 2,SOO tents stood around it to
house the knights and ladies of bis re-
splendent train. Their chapel bad 35
priests to serve it and for the 20-odd
days they were in France 2,200 sheep
went to form one item of their menu.
There is a picture in Hampton court
which will give you some idea of the
splendor of the day. It shows the
Great Harry, that giant ship, with her
sails of damasked cloth of gold and
four royal standards flying from her
fo’c’sle, sailing out of Dover harbor.
Other ships, bearing Yeomen of the
Guard, drummers, Lifers and banner
bearers, are making ready to follow,
and the water is thronged with small
boats full of spectators, one of whom
is graphically represented in the act
of being seasick.
The diplomatic results of this mag-
nAiicent display of wealth and power,
• it is sad to read, were as near nothing
as doesn't matter.

Earth’s Big Bulge
As the earth’s crust is by no means
rigid It rises and falls under the grav-
itational attraction of the moon and
sun in a manner similar to that of
the ocean’s tide. Various difficulties
have so far prevented exact measure-
ments.
The pressure exerted on spots of
the earth’s crust by the rising tide of
the ocean is another thing that makes
it heave and fall. Atlantic tides have
caused an observed earth bulge 800

May Shed Arm at Will
A starfish may jerk off each of its
five arms seized in succession; it may
cast off an injured or parasitized arm;
in rare cases there is multiplication
by division. Sea cucumbers discharge
their viscera in the spasms of capture
and may thus escape from an aston-
ished foe. The replacement of the
food canal is sometimes accomplished
in ten days, though It may take as
many weeks.

supposed to be haunted.
■ In despair the owner had the place
redecorated, fitted with electric lighl .
and every possible labor-saving de-
vice, and offered ihe whole ebneerh
at a very modest rental.
Later he happened to hear that a
man had been shown over the house,
and in great excitement he rang up
the agent.
“Ts it true some one’s taken that
house at last?” he asked.
The agent's voice was sad.
‘‘So far he’s only taken the electric
light fittings.” he replied, “rer'aps

When two small objects are float-
ing near each other in a basin of wa-
ter why are they suddenly drawn to-
i gother as if by a magnet? The bu-
i rcau of standards says that the
weight of the floating particles
stretches the surface-of the water,
forming a dimple when the two par-
ticles come close enough; the two
dimples coalesce into one, throwing
the particles together. The action is
due to surface tension, in virtue of
which the surface is constantly striv-
i ing to reduce its exposed area to a

Mazers and Measles
Old wooden drinking-bowls, known
as mazers, appear to be becoming in-
creasingly popular among wealthy col-
lectors. One of these bowls fetched as
much as $50,000, and it is rare to
find one in good condition, and with
a pedigree at less than $".00.
The words “mazer” and “measles,” ' ?
by the way, are said to be derived
from the same German word “maser,”

maplewood being the favorite mate-
rial employed in the making of these
bowls.

Writing Eod
to Modern Alphabet
Writing In its earliest development
was ideography or Dicture writ!tig. It
comprised a series of pictures repre<
seating first a thing and secondly an
idea. Tn the next stage of progress
most of the lines of a recurring pic-
ture would be left out, until one
stroke might at last come to repre-
sent perhaps a lion or the idea of
hunting. The writing of some of the
people,! of today-is merely a contiima- “■
Hon of such picture writing. Among “*
oilier races the picture writing grad-
ually developed into a combii.r.tio!) of
sounds to form the alphabet, ami this
iype of writing has been set down in
all sorts of ways. Each people devel-
oped its <;wn alphabet, Eastern people

would say, backwards, i. e., from right
