wife and child in Europe last summer he
kept house, and there was not day that
he had not one or two friends to dine
with him; saw Garfield and Foster one
day, just in from Ohio, boiling up to his
house, csrpet-sacks in hand, to put up
with him. Twas with little party Of

"reminiscences of the Duke OF
Suez."

M. de Lesseps is one of the most domestic of
men, a model husband and father. A few
days after the opening of the Suez Canal, he
contracted his second marriage with Mile.
Helene Autard de Bragard, daughter of M
Adolphe de Bragard, of the Mauritius, a young
and most accomplished Creole lady, with mag
nifcent velvety-black eyes and an exquisite
figure. Two of his sons by his first wife sur
vive; by his second wife he has had family
of seven children, who make rosy and noisy
carriage load every afternoon in the Bois,
when his handsome residence in the Rue Saint
Florentine is occupied. When the great canal
scheme was first proposed, England's manifest
unfriendliness served to rouse the national
feeling in his favor in France NJ de Lesseps
has recorded the delight he felt when stout
old gentleman from the west of France painted
up stairs to his Office in the Rue Richepanse
and said he had come to take some stock in his
"chentn de fer PISle de Suede" "But," said
M. de LeSSepS, sis it not railroad-it is a
canal; 1t is not an island, it is an isthmus;
it is not in Sweden = it is at Suez''
THAT makes no difference said the
worthy man; put my name down any
way-its something that worries England" :"
M. de Lesseps could sympathize with him in
his geographical ignorance When in 1922 the
future Duke of Suez':: went up for his Bache-
lor's degree he passed creditably in the hu-
manltles but failed in geography, being abso-
lutey unable to indicate the cardinal points
on the map.

Judging About Sizes, Distances
and Heights.

Every observing person must have noticed
that our judgment in regard to the size, dis
tance OF height of objects is often erroneous
in case we are net familiar with either OF them
Usually, it is an under-estimate-tha means.
we think the object smaller, nearer or lower
than it really is, and this fact explains a great
many peculiarites which hrve been the sub
ject of dispute. Such as why the moon looks
larger when near the horizon than when high
up in the sky. The reasons cf this and many
other illusions about size and distance are as
follows:
Man is accustomed to move on the earth's
surface, and in this way trained to Judge about
distances and sizes as long as they are seen in
horizontal or nearly horizontal direction.
But as soon as they are seen far above or deep
below he is at a loss to judge, and more so if
no intermediate objects furnish him scale TO
judge by.
man of ordinary height, say % feet, is, at
distance OF 315 feet, seen under an angle of
one degree; and when he is on the ground. in
horizontal direction from us, SO that we can
judge OF his distance according to our experi-
ence, he will appear of ordinary size; but il he
is seen under such surroundings as to make
him appear farther off, he will appear taller.
as experience has taught US that when man
is farther off than 400 feet and seen under an
angle of one degree, he must be above the or
dfnary size. We judge, as it were, instinc-
lively about this, without thinking about
actual distances or angles of one or more de-
grees Place this same man high up on tow
er or other elevation, without changing his
90,
more realize the distance he is at, but under
estimate it by the absence of intermediate
objects; and having the impression that he is
nearer than he really is.he appears to us quite
small, as experience has impressed us that a
man must be uncommonly small when he is 80
near and seen under so small an angle. We
do not think, and much less calculate about II
but judge by the mere superficial impressions.
because when we Investigate and begin to rea-
cases.
1t is easy to give illustrations of this general
principle. A flag, wind-vane or other orna-
