HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1959-05-14, Page 7Walked Miles To Floc Short Cot old- John Stow received his new quill pelf as usual this year,. Every April for mora than 800 years the Lord 1V.tayor of Lon don has placed a new pen in the hand of the quaint marble and alabaster monument to this famous historian of London,' It is in the church of St. An drew Undershaft, off Leaden. hall Street, where Stow was buried following his death on April 5th, 1605, His widow erect- ed it as a memorial to her tailor -husband whose passion for antiquarian research made him the world's great authority on London and its history, It shows him writing a book, This lean man with small bright eyes and a cheerful coun- tenance walked hundreds of miles - he could never afford a horse - for many years col- lecting and transcribing ancient documents and delving into Lon- don't fascinating past. But his findings, published in "A Survey of London" in 1598, were, in effect, a "short cut" • for people who wanted to learn about London during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, Some experts think Stow probably knew Shakespeare, or et least passed him often in the streets. He certainly knew Ben , Jonson, who relates how one day he and Stow met two crip- pled beggars. Stow asked them what they would take to accept him as one of their order. At the age of eighty ,Stow actually received as an acknow- ledgement of his public services the royal licence to beg for twelve months. He is said to have "set up basins for alma" in the streets of the London .he loved, but the citizens gave him very little and he died in pov- erty. Slippery Crooks There's no end to the tricks devised by crooks. Some are simple tricks like that of the woman shoplifter who sneezed Into her handkerchief every time she stole an article. Any- one watching her naturally looked at the hand with the handkerchief —.' they didn't see that the other hand was thieving. Another device for distracting attention led to the escape of a Van from police custody recent - . As prisoners were filing out slo a police van in the station Ward one of them collapsed in MI apparent faint. While the jail- er's attention was distracted, another prisoner escaped. Some Polish crooks , crept into e police station ane night, re - *loved all the boots they could find and left the police snoring peacefully. Then they carried out a series of burglaries, but when the alarm was given the police took so long to find the footware that the thieves got away. An English burglar's method was to strew carpet tacks round the beds of his sleeping vic- tims in case anyone woke up and decided to chase him. Q. Row can I make a substi- tute for a corkscrew? A. Two safety pins stuck through a cork in a crosswise position will often prove an ex- cellent substitute for the miss- ing.corkscrew.

Toad's Tongue Works Fast While walking from church on •the arm of her husband some months ago, the attractive country bride of a Bulgarian farmer gave a little squeak of alarm when a toad suddenly ap- peared on the path ahead of them, He quickly reassured 'her. "Don't worry, my dear," he said, "It's always a sign of good luck to have a toad cross your path on your wedding day," Three .weeks later the bride' remembered that toad when she received a letter telling her that a distant relative living in Ru- mania had left her a legacy of. $3500- A coincidence? Perhaps. But the bride now firmly believes, like • many other people living in Central European countries, that toads are' luck bringers. Another odd belief about toads,. still aherished in some ,parts of the world, is that each' carries a jewel in its head. It's said that if you place, a toad on a .vivid red cloth it will spit up the jewel and et once swallow it again. And it's also believed that if a toad is killed to rob it of the jewel ... "the treasure dissolves like a pearl in vine- gar." Sir Eyy Lankester, the em- inent scientist, tried to kill this legend fifty years ago by ex- plaining w h at Shakespeare meant when he wrote that the "ugly and venomous toad" wears a precious jewel in his head. "The poet was merely refer- ring to the beautiful eyes of the toad, which are like gems in colour and, brilliance," he said. "There is no stone or jewel Of any kind in the head of :any species of toad. — common or rare." The toad's tongue is one of. the marvels of nature. It is long, elastic and fitted at the end.with.. a speck of "glue" which is con- stantly renewed. One naturalist saw a toad catch. 300 flies in half an hour and gnats at the rate of thirty a minute. Making Boots For Elephant An Englishman who makes mink shoes ,for poodles is going. to make boots for an •elephant which is being, taken across the Alps this•summer in an attempt to prove the route traveled by Hannibal' on his historic march more than 2,000 years ago. Hannibal took with him a whole herd of elephants to carry the equipment and sup- plies of the army with which he invaded Gaul. But John Hoyte, "a'Birmingham "engineer; is taking ' just one, in the re- verse direction, from Grenoble, France,' over mountain tracks rising to 8,000feet, south of the Mont Cenis - Pass, into Italy. The big problem, until now, has been where to get leather boots madefor the elephant •to' save, his feet on the rough moifntain tracks. Wilfrid Hunter, a Doncaster specialty boot and shoe designer and maker, has the answer. For Mr, Hunter makes animal foul - Wear as a hobby. He has made boots for grey- hounds with split pads end for, wear on exercise; 'soft boots for horses engaged on lawn work; protective leather boots for cows with foot injuries;; and waterproof boots for sheep with foot ailments. Poodles need no longer suffer,, the indignity" of being- carried almost everywhere because they have such tender feet that their padsbecome. damaged, by .hard•:. roads or pavements. Mr, Flunter can fit them ' with shoes 111 limurious mink or smart white kid, with soles which will pro- tect their' sensitive feet.
