Bom* of &ti Cliiir ?VriWr» Who HlivO
Dooolvod th# World.
, Clever literary irttjjjoertors who
Kfcy'e deceived tlx; world tfre numer
ous. Gamelli Carried, a Neapolitan
gentleman and scholar, while con
fined to his room for a long period
of years by illness, amused himself
by writing ah account of an imagi
nary voyage round the world. Wien
the volume was published, it was
taken us a fact even by learned
people.
The detailed account of a trip to
China, which is credited lo Du
Halde, is another literary hoax.
The author had never seen China
and had been sufficiently clever to
compile the work solely from the
memoirs of Chinese missionaries.
It is remarkable, though no less a
fact, that “Gulliver’s Travels” was
thought to be a true narrative when
it first appeared, and the famous
story of Bamberger's travels was
likewise a hoax.
Varillas, the French historian,
enjoyed a wide reputation as a
chronicler of events, but later it was
discovered that his works were pure
ly fakes. The volumes of this writer
resemble those of Gregorio Tteti,
who, in order to keep himself from
starving, appended the most un
heard of incidents to English his
tory as it was known.
One or the most daring impos
tures on record is that of Joseph
Vella of Sicily. He said that lie dis
covered seventeen of the lost books
of Livy in Arabic. ITe then set to
work and wrote a translation from
his fancy, which was printed. After
his death the fraud was discovered.
Before his death, however, he fell
under suspicion and was condemned
to imprisonment.
There are countless eases of au
thors selling their names to be put
on works they have never rend. Sir
John Hill once contracted to trans
late a Dutch book. After the agree
ment he remembered that lie did
not know a word of Dutch. He then
bargained with another translator
to do the work for half the price he
was to receive.
Where Persistence Won.
. The quick wit of u traveling sales
man who has since become a well
known proprietor was severely test
ed one day. He sent in his card by
the office boy to the manager of a
large concern, whose inner office
was separated from the waiting
room by a ground glass partition.
When the boy handed bis card to
the manager the salesman saw him
impatiently tear it in half and
throw it into (lie wastebasket. The
boy came out and fold the caller
that he could not sec flic chief. The
salesman told the hoy to go back
and get him his card. The hoy
brought out 5 cents, with the mes
sage that his card was torn up.
Then tho salesman look out another
card and sent the boy back, saying:
“Tell your boss I sell two cards for
5 cents.”
He got bis interview and sold a
large bill of goods.—Everybody’s.
Meteorites.
It was not until the eighteenth
century that science \ ' convinced
that stones and metals fall from
outer space. The Jtritish museum
lias now a collection of more than
550 meteors, the fall of more than
half of which was observed by au
thentic witnesses. Meteorites are
composed of various minerals—an
aerolitfe is of stone formation. The
minerals most frequently found are
iron, nickel, magnesium, calcium,
silicon, aluminium and phosphorus.
There are also copper, cobalt, anti
mony, chromium, manganese, tin,
sodium and vanadium. Occasionally
there are traces of gold, silver, plat
inum and lead. No element un
known to our earth has been dis
covered.
Like Calling For a Drink.
A hard drinker was told by bis
doctor that lie could be cured if
every time lie felt that lie must have
a drink lie would immediately take
something to eat instead. The man
followed tiie advice and was cured,
but tiie habit of asking for food had
become so fixed with him that once
lie was nearly locked up as a lnnatic.
lie was stopping-at a hotel, and,
hearing a great commotion in the
room ngxt to hie, )ip peeped over the
transom to see what' the matter was.
He saw and rushed mndly down to
the office and shouted to the clerk :
“The man in 153 1ms shot himself!
Ham and egg sandwich, please!”
Tho Quietest City In Europe.
Berlin is said to lie the quietest
city in Europe, Railway engines are
not allowed to blow their whistles
within the city'lhftits. Theresa no
loud bawling of hucksters, and a
man whose wagftn gearing is found
loose and rattling is subject to a
fine. Strangest of all, piano play
ing is regulated in Berlin. Before
« certain hour in the day and after
s certain hour at night the piano
must lie silent in that musical city.

Thrilling ln«W*rrt of th* Day* of tN ]
P*ri* ComiYi u: io.
Frederic Villiers’ “Peaceful Per- i
sonalities and Warriors Bold’' con- j
tains a striking and somewhat bloody
tale of the terrible days of the Paris ;
commune. An unnamed English
mans tells the story of himself and
Archibald Forbes, the great war :
correspondent: “There was a good i
deal of lighting in the streets at the |
time, for the Versailles troops were j
pressing hard upon the communists.
One afternoon, in a street not far
from where we were sitting, 1 was .
rounded up by a party of rebels and I
made to work erecting a barricade,
when 1 found another Englishman j
pressed for the same business. It '
was Forbes, the war correspondent. !
We chummed together at our dis- j
tasteful work, which we were com- j
pelted to do or risk being shot for ,
spies.
Presently the Hurricane was at- j
tacked by the Versaillists, and the :
communists, after a sharp fight, j
were driven belter skelter down the |
street. Forbes and 1 ran with them. :
Presently he shouted, ‘Dive into ■,
that wineshop on the left!’ I ini- 1
mediately did so, and Forbes, catch- j
ing hold of me, pushed me through !
a shop to a back yard, where we j
found a pmnp. ‘Now,’ said he, ‘wash ,
your hands quickly and let me have j
a turn.’ After our ablutions he hur
ried me back into the street. That j
Simple incident of washing my hands s
saved my life, and I always remem- >
her it with gratitude.
“We had hardly gained the street j
before we were roughly arrested by j
the victorious troops, who would not |
listen to any explanation, and wore j
hurried along with many other pris- |
oners till we came to a blank wall, !
where a halt was made. About a ]
dozen of us were made to stand in a ■
line with our backs to the wall. |
‘Hands up!’ cried the officer in j
charge.
“The poor devils who had soiled j
hands were told to remain. Forbes j
and 1 were the only men who were ;
allowed to fall out, for our hands ;
showed no sign of barricade work or ;
soil of powder upon them. Before i
we realized what lmd happened the
rest were riddled with bullets. It ]
was a ghastly sight.”
Not In Sight.
A countryman named Street own- ,
ed a runaway cow. As the season 1
advanced Street was compelled to :
make several long pilgrimages into
(lie country for the reprehensible
animal.
On one occasion I he trail led on |
and on until Street had entered the !
environs of a town where a new
trolley system was installed. Just ‘
as the cow hunter turned a corner ;
in the outskirts, the ear lumbered i
up and the conductor called out:
“Cedar Street!”
The owner of the estrayed cow j
stopped in his tracks and hawk'd
back at the man in blue and gold:
“No, darn her. 1 ain’t seed her, j
and when 1 do it won't be good for ,
her Mamed old hide either!”—At- ;
lanta Constitution.
Convenient Arrangement.
“What are you buying now ?” •
“[ am looking for some present i
to give my wife oil her birthday. 1 .
tell you, making presents costs a I
heap of money.”
“Why don’t you do as I do? I
have never failed to make my wife
a present on her birthday every year
for twenty-five years, and 1 am not
a penny out thus far.”
"How do you manage it?”
“It is very simple. After we were
married, when her birthday came
round, 1 gave her a £5 note. When
mv birthday came round, she gave
me the note hack, and we have kept
that up ever since, and neither of
us is out a pennv.”—London 'Pit
Hits.
Ancient Science.
It is generally supposed that those
who combated the opinion that the
eartli was a sphere when Columbus
proposed his great voyage were only
giving expression to opinions that
had always been entertained. But
the fact is that long before the
Christian era the Creek and Egyp
tian philosophers entertained the
idea that the earth was round and
knew vastly more about eclipses, the
motions of the moon and other as
tronomical matters than many do
even today. The idea of Columbus
had been anticipated by more than
sixteen centuries.—New York Amer
ican. ,
A* Other* Saw Him.
A day or two ago it fell out that
an actor with a purpose wqs cine
matographCd on the stage and was
vastly pleased with the result*
Said he gleefully to a prominent
dramatic critic, “It was the most
extraordinary experience I ever
wept throng'll—actually to see my
self acting.”
“Now,” said the prominent dra
matic critic, “you understand what
we have to out ud with.”
