scIenaIne.

A writer in one of the scientific
Journals argues hal the common
idea prevailing in regard to what
are called geographical antipodes is,
in fact, erroneous. That, to the
occupants Of the earth's surface,
"down" means in a vertical direc-
ton to the earth's center, and real
antipodal points are therefore
where a straight line passing
through the centre of the earth cuts
the surface. Then it is evident,
says the writer, hat the antipodes
Of any place in the Northern Hem
isphere must lie in the Southern
Hemisphere; the latitude of anti
podal points will be the same, but
one will be north and the other
south, the longitude will differ by
one hundred and eighty degrees.
Thus the antipodal point Of San
Francisco is in the Southern Indian
ocean, almost one thousand miles
southeast Of the island of Madagas-
car; the point opposite New York
is also in the Southern Indian ocean,
about five hundred miles southeast
of Australia; the point opposite
Pekin is in Northern Patagonia /;
and a shaft from San Francisco,
which would reach Pekin, must
pitch to the west and make an an
gle with the verticle Of about 800
degrees.

There were about thirty five Of
them, the teetotal anti.liquor ladies
Of Millertown, o., and each one Of
them had an ak in her hand, in
that respect resembling the martial
Bosdicea, only her AK was a battle
ak, while the Millertown weapon
was the peaceful domestic ak used
for splitting firewood. On this oc-
caslon, however, what was splinter
ed was the front door Of a whisky
shop, which fell before them into
hlty thousand fragments, each no
larger than a to~ddy-stick. Then,
entering ak in hand the bacchana-
Ian shrine, like SO many water
drinking Moenades, they broke up
the bar, demolished the decanters,
spilled the spirits, destroyed the
demJohns, crushed the casks and
the kegs and the glasses over which
SO many Tam 0'Shanters had
grown glorious. The scene in q
moment became one Of indescriba-
BILE ruin, while the husbands.
brothers and dearer ones Of these
earnest ladies looked approvingly
on from a safe disance.
