Experiment to
Earth Round.

the
Although it was demonstrated
more than 2000 years ago that the
earth is globular in form, there
are certain persons who maintain
that it is Hat. About thirty years
ago a controversy on the subject
Waxed so hot that it was determin
ed to put'the matter to direct ex
periment in order to settle the
1 quostion once for all.
I The place chosen was near
ord, England, whore there is a
straight six mile stretch of water.
At both ends and in the middle of
this water posts were erected, each
of the same definite height above
the water level. Upon looking
with a telescope along the tops of
these three posts it was clearly
seen that the centre one overtop
ped the others by about six feet,
owing to the curvature of the sur
face of the earth.!
These experiments were recently
repeated in a more scientific man
ner by II. Yule Oldham, who road j
a paper on the subject before tlira
Glasgow meeting of the British
Association. The same results
were obtained, with the impor
tant difference that by the em
ployment of a tele-photographic
lens and camera tho six foot
prominence of the middle post
was recorded in an unmistakable
mlumer.—Philadelphia Record.?!

Fill Your Lim^s With Good
Air.
Breathe more. Breathe deeply.
Breathe freely. Why don’t we
take more of this vital power into
our being? We must, if our lives
are to be full and vigorous. Fill |
your lungs full. Fill the upper
part. Fill the lower part. Be
sure you cannot get another bit of
air anywhere. Slowly and stead
ily exhale. Whenever you are
out door, do it, walking to and
from tho office. Get up from
your sewing and go out on tho
porch and try it; When you feel
nervous try it. When things get
tangled up and you are becoming
confused, try it. If yon feel cross,
try it. In short, when you feel
the need of vitality fill your lungs.
Control the exhaustion, and if you
persist you will find restlessness,
worry and impatience will lose
their grip and nerve power will
possess your being.—Ex.

Arthur Stanley, Dean of West
minister, wore home from his lirst
visit to Amelia an expression of
amazement which only time could
etface. Ho was at once beset by
interviewers, who asked the usual )
questions. “What was the thing j
which most impressed you ini
America?” wasoneof these. With- ’
out a moment’s hesitation Dean
Stanley replied: “My own ignor
ance.”- A rgonant.
Nearly forty years have elapsed
since the civil war and it would
seem that sufficient time- had
elapsed to cause a dimunition in
the pension bill growing out of
the civil war. O11 tlie contrary it
increases. Commander-In-Chief
Black, in his annual report to the
Grand Army of the Republic sub
mits that 47,873 now names have
been added to the roll in 1904 and
49,156 taken off, but notwithstand
ing this decrease in members, the
bill has risen to $144,942,937. as
against $141,752,970 in 1903.
Thus it is evident it will be
many a year before there shall be
much reduction, for the plan now
is to pay all veterans over 62 years
suffering from disability flat pen-'
sions of $6 and 12 a month. I11 j
addition are the pensioners of iho j
Cubian, Phillippino and Chinese
wars, and these will hold the rolls i
a very long time. This order has

An amusing example of the
blending of the sentimental and
the practical was overheard at
Oleutangy Park the other day.
Two people greatly interested in
each other occupied the boat.
The man was leaning forward,
with bis heart in his eyes, and was ^
overheard by two pcop'o on the j
bank to say to the girl, who rowed: 1
“Darling, you are the very !
sweetest person in the world, and !
I can never tell yon—pull on the |
left oar there, you’re going to run
into the bank. There isn’t any
one in the whole world to compare
with you, and never will be—the
right our, dear, pull hard, quick.
You know as well as I do that we
are made for one another, and —
quick, the right oar, or you’ll run
into that tree. You are positively
the sweetest both oars, and hard
on the left, darling. Just, the
dearest girl to sit there and row
me so that 1 can look at you- look
out there, dear— ”
All this to the delight of the
listeners of the bank who never in
tended playing eavesdroppers.—

They are a queer set. Some of
them are persons of high educa

out of other employment, do not
object to sitting in a cool spot,
reading and smoking. It’s a snap
for them. Others of these hired

A Wonderful Jewel.
Tho most extraordinary pearl—
or rather clusters of pearls—known
as “The Southern Cross,” is own
ed by a syndicate of Australian
gentlemen, who value it at $500,-
000. So fur us it is known it ocx
copies an absolute position. It
consists of nine pearls, naturally
grown together in so regular a
manner ns to form a perfect Latin
cross. The pearl was diseoveicd
by a pearl-fisher a Roobonrne,
West Australia. The first owner
regarded it with so much snporsti
tinn that he buried it; but it was
discovered in 1874, and five years
Inter was placed on exhibition in
Australia. — Detroit News-Trib

One of the leading dentists of
Paris is using tin* phonograph to
lessen the pain of tooth-pulling.
When a patient is seated in tlie
chair, he places the phonograph
tubes to the ears and allows tho
instrument to work for a little
while. Then he administers the
anaethetic, and finds that the pa
tient becomes unconscious much
more quickly and easily, and re
quires much less anaesthetic than
was formerly the case. Not only
that, but he can perform the dent
al operation without interruption,
and when the patient recovers eon-
seioiisims-: the after-affects are
inconspicuous.
An Old Smoker’s Dream.
“It has been eighteen years
since I was told to break loose
from tobacco, as over-indulgence
in smoking was about to knock me
out,” said S. ,1. Mason, of Chica-
go. “From that day, though so
dearii lover of the weed, I haven’t
put a cigar or pipe between my
lips, and yet, strange as it limy
sound, on numerous occasions i
find myself puffing out huge clouds
of smoke drawn from the most
fragrant Havanas that ever were
given to solace mankind.
“These smokes, let it lie under
stood, come in my dreams, but
tlie enjoynient they confer is as
solid and substantial as in the old
days, when the indulgence was a
reality. Curiously enough, too,
the visions always present a group
of friends. I can see them puf
ling away vigorously. I catch the
aroma they blow forth; 1 hear
their conversation as in old days,
and the whole atmosphere is of to
bacco. Yet, despite these vivid
pictures, awakening brings no de
sire to resume the ancient habit,
and so I expect to continue dream
ing of smoking to the end of the
chapter. ’ ’
