For Instance, If the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light

given forth. Only feeble sounds will
be heard when the red and the blue
parts of the rainbow fall upon the
vessel. Other colors will produce no
sounds at all. Green silk gives out

This was the origin of the word

HAD ITS BIRTH IN RIDICULE
Explanation ot Frequently Heard Ex-
pression "Giwng Him a Roland
for an Oliver."
A Gentleman.
It appears that the most general Idea
which people hove formed of a gentle-
man Is that of a person of fortune
above the vulgar, and embellished by
manners that are fashionable In high
life. In this case, fortune and fashion
are the two constituent Ingredients In
the composition of modern gentlemen;
for whatever the fashion may be,
whether moral or Immoral, for or
against reason, right or wrong, It Is
equally the duty of a gentleman to con-
form. And yet I apprehend that true
gentility Is altogether Independent of
fortune or fashion, of time, customs, or
opinions of any kind. The very same
qualities that constituted a gentleman
In the first age of the world, are per-
manently Invariable and Indispen-
sably necessary to the constitution of
The expression “A Roland for an
Oliver," meaning to match one Incred-
ible story with another still more in-
credible, is derived from the fanciful the same character to the end of time,
tales told by the old chroniclers con- —Henry Brooke,
cerning the marvelous deeds accom-
plished by Roland and OJlver, the two
most famous pallailins of Charlemagne.
It Is said that these two wonderful
heroes were so marvelously matched
that neither was able to surpass the
other, and, accordingly to test their
relative superiority they met Id single
combat for five consecutive days on
n» Island In the River Rhine without
either gaining the least advantage over
the other, At the end of the battle of
Roncesvalles, it is said Roland was
actually wounded by Oliver, who had
himself received a death blow, From
the ridiculous manner in which the
adventures of these two heroes were
recounted, the saying, "A Roland for
an Oliver," grew the matching of one
lie with one still greater.
Grub for Goldfish.
In Japan, where fancy varieties of
goldfish are highly esteemed, the "lion
headed" sometimes fetching $100 a
pair, silkworm cocoons (after the silk
Is wound off them) are used to feed
the young In breeding ponds. For this
purpose they are dried, pounded to a
fine powder and mixed with wheat-
starch. Clipped earthworms and mos-
quito larvae supplement this Item of
nursery diet.
A curious practice of the Japanese
is that of ornamenting goldfishes whh
coats-of-arms, floral devices, etc., the
designs being etched with dilute hydro,
chloric add.
Minnesota and 8outh Dakota Each
Firm In the Belief That They Are
In Posseselon of Hlatorlo
Old Relic,
The local Ion of the first printing
press In the Northwest Is being dis-
puted by two states, Minnesota anil
South Dakota, says a dispatch to the
Minneapolis Journal.
Tits historic printing press, an old
Washington hand-press, which, It Is
claimed, printed the first newspaper In
tile Northwest, Is now in the hands of
the Minnesota Historical society. The
Minnesota contention ns to the history
of the press Is substantially as fol-
lows :
"Its active rnreer began back In 183(5,
when John King of Dubuque pur-
chased It In Cincinnati. He arrived In
Dubuque with the new press on May
1, 183(5, after n tedious trip on a river
steamboat. The first Issue of tills pa-
per, the Dubuque Visitor, appeared on
May 11. It Is said that the Visitor was
the only paper north of S* Louis and
west of the Mississippi r(ver at that
time.
"The press, In 1843, for some reason
or*other, was sold to three representa-
tives of a stock concern, J. Allen Bar-
ber, Daniel BenfiU and Nelson Derby,
who latter was to become Wisconsin’s
first governor. These men took the
press across the river to Lancaster,
Wig., to print the Grant County Her-
ald, of which L. O. Schrader was the
first editor,
"The Herald passed finally Into the
hands of James M. Goodhue, a lawyer
by profession and a fighting editor of
the old school. Goodhue In the spring
of 1849 shipped his press up the river
to St. Paul, Minn., where he founded
the Pioneer, which years afterward be-
came the Pioneer Press.
"In 1855 the press passed Into the
hands of Jeremiah Russell, who took It
to Sauk Rkplds to use In printing an-
other pioneer venture, the Frontiers-
man. Aftec that It changed hands fre-
quently. It printed among other pub-:
llcatlons the Sauk Valley Press con-i
ducted by Herman Muhlenberg, state,1
adjutant general. The material of this!
publication was later sold to the Llnd-j
strom CMtlzeb, a Swedish newspaper.:
Shortly after this old press found Its!
Inst home In the state museum In St.!
Paul.
“Gov. Samuel J. Albright, associate:
editor of the St. Paul paper, purchased!
the press In 1858, carried it 400 miles!
across the prairies to Sioux Falls, Da-!
kota Territory, where, July 3. 1859, lie;
established and printed the Dakota;
Democrat,
"During the Indian hostilities of;
18C2, Sioux Falls was abandoned and!
the Indians took possession of the:
place. They found the old press and:
broke it to pieces. The settlers found;
the fragments but could not put It to-;
gether again. Senator R. F. Pettigrew;
of Sioux Falls is understood to have;
secured the plate and made from It a;
doorstep.
"The South Dakota story has been!
verified satisfactorily so far ns the!
South Dakotn department Is con-!
cerned, by Governor Albright, who;
wrote In regard to It that ‘It was so;
stated, so understood and, I believe, so!
published upon Its removal to Dakota.’!
“But, on the other hand, In the Mlti-i
nesota museum stands a press which!
Is claimed to be the one In dispute.!
This one Is simply constructed ami!
from Its appearance might have print-!
ed every pioneer newspaper In the!
Northwest. Whatever the true story;
of the Identity of the press may be, It;
is well worth contention."
