JOAQUIN MILLER'S HO
Ml,
Many years ago, soon after Joa
quin Miller had settled in his pres
ent home, "The Heights," I asked
him where he lived. His reply came
promptly: "Three miles east, one
perpendicular!" In that expression
you have a graphic, symbolic state
ment of Joaquin's mental habitat.
He lives nearer the rising sun than
most people and his normal dwelling
place is "a mile perpendicular." His
nest is on "The Heights his eye
far seeing, blue, prophetic, keen,
kind and his soul attuned, when he
siAgs, to the harmony of
the spheres.

WIDOW WOULD HAVE TOLD
Why E. H. Sothern's Father Wat Cer
tain Bacon Did Not Writs
Shakespeare's Plays.
13.
H. Sothern contributes
an ar­
ticle on the "great Shakespeare-Ba
con controversy" in the Munsey. He
savs, in part: "I recall that when a
boy with my father in London I one
day picked lip at an old book shop a
paper covered volume which bore
on unusual cover design. In the
center was a huge kettle, under
which was a roaring lire. Emerging
froir. the kettle were Shakespeare's
head and shoulders. Above this de
sign was Shakespeare's name, and
the bulging side of the kettle bore
the words 'boiled down.' In short,
'Shakespeare Boiled Down' was a lit
tle book containing brief summaries
of the plays. An earlier owner of
the vohi:ne—-evidently an enthusias
tic Baconian—had run his pen
through the first and iast of the
three words, making the title read
'Boiled Bacon.'
"Taking the book home, I hand
ed it to my father, and asked for his
opinion.
"'It is nonsense, Ned—all non
sense. It is utterly impossible, had
Bacon written the plays, that, the se
cret would not have leaked out. For
example—Bncon had a wife, and her
a faithless one. Take every line that
has come down to us from the days
of Shakespeare, and you can't lay
your finger on a word or phrase that
can be twisted, pinched or tortured
into the faintest suggestion that Ba
con was the author of the plays
which are credited to Shakespeare.
That the real authorship could have
been jcept a secret would be a greater
mystjry—more inexplicable—-than
tile Sphinx.'"
ALWAYS LATE
Mrs. Green—She referred so much
to her late husband. How long has
he been dead?
Mrs. Wise—He isn't dead. He's
a
newspaper man and never gets home
till very late at night.
EYES GET FIRST ATTENTION.,
There is no such disguise as that
of the eyes. If we want to get an
impression of a person's face we have
to look at the eyes. You will find
this in any railway carriage or pub
lic conveyance. You are interested
in a face you fix your eyes on the
opposite eyes. If the eyes meet both
f.rJ tl:e t.vt-3 dvp apologetically, for
inquiry U too intimate. The two
people know well enough, though
neither may be artists, that you can
not get an impression of the face by
looking at the chin, or the forehead,
or the nose you must look straight
at the eyes—the window of the soul
—and the face becomes a recogniz
able unit. The best disguise—as
burglars know—is the mask that
covers the eyes only.
HI8 SIMPLE EXCUSE.
The Judge—The court is inform
ed that you haven't worked for years.
The Culprit—It is true, judge.
The Judge—You have neglected
your family, at the same time insist
ing that your wife and sons should
support you.
The Culprit—True again, judge.
The udge—Well, what's your ex
planation
The Culprit—It's very simple,
your honor. I agree with Dr. Woods
Hutchinson that four hours' work
a day is enough for any man—and
by not working now I'm trying to
unao the mischief I did SO many
years by working overtime."
ALL THE SAME IN THE END.
Mrs. Malade (weakly)—I wish to
explain again to you about willing
my property.
Family Solicitor—There, there
don't worry yourself. LeaTS it to
me.
Mrs. Malade (resigned)—I op
pose 1 might as well. You'll get it
anyway —The Sketch.

!N DANGER FROM LIGHTNING
Observatories on Lofty Mountains
Often 8truck if They Are
Built in the Snow
One of the greatest dangers
to
mountain observatories is from
lightning. This was illustrated last
year, when the observatory on the
summit of Mont Blanc was struck
one man was injured so badly that he
has since died.
The reasons for this danger are
evident. The ground is frozen and
snow is a bad conductor of electric
ity. This particular building is of
wood, buried in the snow. The roof
was covered with copper plates, but
the copper is not to be blamed as the
building was struck by lightning in
1909 while building and before the
copper was put on.
Another Mont Blanc observatory,
built in the snow, was struck a few
years ago, with the resut that nails
were forged together. This was in
spite of a lightning rod supplied with
a wire cable to a rock 300 yards away.
In spite of additional lightning
rods, the shocks continued. On one
occasion a visiting guide reported
that for two hours and a half he
watched ribbons of fire passing hori
zontally across one of the rooms.
Not far from these is another
ob­
servatory that in 13 years has never
been touched by lightning. Instead
of being built in the snow, it rests
directly on the rock. Its copper roof
and even the stovepipe are connected
with the lightning rods, from which
conductors lead down into the
rocks
and are fastened to them.
