The fires Smithfeld and the block on &nr Hill might hold terror, ‘but they were not strong enough ‘to uphold tyranny. It is an amazing thought that, about two hundred years before workers attempted to destroy machinery which they maintainâ€" ed was endangering their liveliâ€" hood, a precedent for this reacâ€" tionary behaviour was set by the Queen of England! It was during this uneasy perâ€" dod in English history that Wilâ€" iliam Lee was born. The ne‘erâ€" G@oâ€"well son of a middleâ€"class Hamily, he studied at Cambridge ‘mnd became a clerk in Holy Orâ€" Mers â€" that is, a parson of the Â¥eformed church. t Lee seems to have had his ‘share of the vices of youth, but Aittle or no vocation for his piritual calling. He might have Ylived and died in obscurity had 4t not been for his inventive One can almost hear the stridâ€" ent, masculine voice of the Queen when, in refusing assistâ€" ance, she writes: "It is of no avail to seek our assistance, lest it may take the bread from the mouths of my poor subjects who earn their livlihood by the craft of knitting." â€" Was it a nagging wife. weary} of childâ€"bearing and drudgery,| who drove Lee to seek distruc-! tion in the invention still asso-l ciated with his name? Or could it have been the monotonous| elicking of knitting needles in the smokeâ€"filled hovel where he | lived? | When he. had perfected his machine, he wrote to the Queen begging an audience. His aim was to demonstrate his marvel to Her Majesty and gain her paâ€" tronage for his invention. ~‘The audience was granted and Lee, with hope pulsing through his joyous heart,. demonstrated his machine at Court. A few glys later the Queen wrote to Lee refusing the monopoly rights he sought, and affirming, in no uncertain terms, that she wouldn‘t finance his nefarious scheme for making hosiery by machine. Whatever it was, Lee laboured until he had developed a knitâ€" ting frame with automatic lock movement that would â€" knit hosiery in a tenth of the time it took on knitting needles. What he did do was to invent the _ frame _ knittingâ€"machine. What impelled him to this achievement can only be guessâ€" ed. It certainly brought him litâ€" tle or no reward, although it was destined to make a fortune for his successors. The lilacâ€"scented village of Cambridge held no attraction for Young Willam. There is no recâ€" ord of his having been posted to any living, and it seems unâ€" likely that he ever practised his calling as a parson. was a sad and. savâ€" M in the early yearsâ€" of Queen Elizabeth.

Some years after his stormy Invented Machine An obscure parson‘s dream had become a reality. The idea scorned by a queen and rejected by the people had become so much part of the industrial life of developing England that the Worshipful Company of Frame Knitters had been called into being. It exists to this day, and of course knitted products are a big part of British trade. Marv Rickert was a sharpâ€" witted youngster, always ready with a wise crack. One day he overheard the Cubs‘ trainer, Andy Lotshaw, bragging about his erstwhile hitting accomâ€" plishments. _ Rickert _ listened quietly for a while, then flatâ€" tened the braggart with, "Andy, I bet you‘re the only batter who could ever hit a spitter on the dry side!" So successful was the venture that, a century later, the handâ€" knitters of Leicestershire sent a petition to the mayor and alderâ€" men of Leicester, seeking proâ€" tection from the encroachment of the frame knitters on the handâ€"knitting industry. interview with the domineering Queen, Lee travelled through France and Belgium still trying to sell the machine that he hoped would make him his fortune. No one was interested. All his ardâ€" ent endeavours to free women from drudgery were.of no avail, Broken in psirit, he died in obâ€" scurity somewhere on the Conâ€" tinent. The new industry thrived; soon several home factories were equipped with the revolutionary knitting frame and whole famiâ€" lies were finding regular employâ€" ment in the manufacture of jerâ€" syes, jackets and stockings. : DEATH ON A STINGâ€"This is an artist‘s conception of Mark 39", the U.S. Navy‘s new "underwater guided missile‘ to be fired from submarines and steered by an attached threadâ€"like wire. As the torpedo noses through the water the wire is played out from the launching vessel. Wire guidance enables missile to follow target until hit is made despite enemy evasive maneuvers. Then suddenly, and with terâ€" rible irony, the tide turned. Lee‘s brother returned to London bringing with him the castâ€"out and forgotten frame knittingâ€" machine. He tried to win the inâ€" terest of woollen merchants who were slowiy migrating from London to the Midlands. After some weeks he met with sucâ€" cess and a small company was formed to manufacture the maâ€" chines and use them to produce hosiery for sale at home and on the Continent.

Scientists still don‘t know exâ€" actly how houseflies survive the winter, but. it is thought that they do so as pupae, or grubs, which lie dormant till spring. it‘s also possible that, every spring, flies migrate to Britain from warmer countries. ; Only one man in history kept a fly as a pet and he spent $60,000 on its funeral! He was the Roman poet, Virgil. He buried the fly in a silver coffin four inches long and raised a marble monument over it.
