Pertinacious Ambition VIII Win ON the
Farm as Well as in the Professions.
1t is not always talent which leads
to success in any business, much less
in farming. 1t has been truly said
that SO per cent. OF ambition and l
per cent. of talent are more conducive
to success that per cent OF ambition
and SO per cent. of talent. In schools
and colleges the brightest students
too often fall behind the duller but
more Industrious youths; and this is
most true as regards success in agri-
culture. determination to excel
rarely results in failure, although the
ambitious farmer may spend years of
toll and perseverance and meet with
disappointment. until in the end sue
cess is reached. 1t has taken seven
years constant work to clean small
garden OF weeds. but the ambition to
have clean soil has been rewarded at

potatoes per acre; be believes it can
be done and -ins=spite- OF difficulties
through unfavorable weather and
the ravages of insect pests which can
not be controlled, he works patiently
for years until at last he succeeds.
Perhaps this pertinacious ambition
may be really talent; and what. is COM
monty called talent merely an
ephemeral and passing brilliance of
intellect. The steady horse wins.

some CURIOUS coNcElTs.

An Explanation Of the significance of Ger
tain Precious stones.
Among jewelers. superstitious feel.
ing exists as to the power of some
stones to insure their wearers great
good luck or exemption from misfor-
tune. To each month of the year is
assigned its particular lucky stone.
In purchasing stones for birthday
presents. the stone corresponding with
the month of the birth is often pur-
chased, and is invariably suggested by
the jeweler.
January's lucky stoneis the garnet.
1t is symbol of constaney, and in
sures to its owner fidelity on part Of
friends. For February the amethyst
is selected as preventive against
violent passions and drunkenness.
A child born in March should be
given ehrysoprase. better known as
the bloodstone heliotrope. This stone
is -giyer- of wisdom, ffmness and
courage, and is a great boon to its
wearer in all perilous undertakings.
Aprifs child is freed by the sapphire
from all witchcraft and enchantment.
The sapphire likewise has the power
of imparting to its possessor kindness
of disposition and conscientiousness.
For May the emerald gives the power
of discovering true or false witnesses
and insures domestic felicity.
The agate, June's mascot. bestows
invincibility and long life. For July
the ruby discovers poisons and cures
all evils springing from the unkind-
ness of friends. The conjugal felicity
OF the child born in August is insured
by the possession Of the sardonyx.'
This stone is dark brown and Opaque.
For September the chrysolite is chosen.
1t frees one from sadness.
To any one SO fortunate as to be born
in October. the opal should be given.
1t bestows hope and likewise sharp
nessb of sight. The topaz denotes
fidelity OF friendship. 1t promotes

LIMITS or VISION.


Hew Kar the Human Eye Can see From
Any Given Height.
II Is often matter Of interest. and
Importance to know how far one can
see from any given height. or con-
verseiy, how far one must be above
the earth to see an object at given
distance The exact calculation OF
these figures would require the use OF
very complex formula, but, for prac-
tical use. two very simple rules will
sufico: The distance in miles at
which an object upon the surface Of
tho earth Is visible is equal to the
square root OF one and half times
the height of the observer in feet.
above the surface, and, conversely.
The height in feet to which an OBJ
server must be placed to see distant
object is equal to two-thirds the square
OF the distance in miles. For in
stance: The observer is in the rig
ging OF ship, 100 feet above
the water. how far distant is the hori-
zonp that is, how far could an object
floating in the water be visible before
being hidden by the convexity OF the
earthP One and half times 100 is
$50, and the square root of $50 is, APP
proximately. 123. therefore the hori-
zon is 123 miles distant. As the deck
OF smaller vessels, like pleasure
yachts, is rarely more than ten feet
above the water, it follows that the
limit OF vision from that point is less
than four miles in every direction.
An illustration OF the second rule may
be given as follows: A building
is thirty-three miles away how
high a hill must one climb in
order to be able to see itP AS the
square OF the distance equals 1,089,
and two-thirds of that number equals
726, it follows that we must climb
hill726 feet high before we are able to
see the building. even with the most
powerful telescope Usually, how
ever. the height of the object. as we'll
as that OF the observer. must be taken
into consideration. but this simply re-
quires the duplication Of the problem.
For instance: The Washington Monu-
ment is 552 feet high; at what height
must an observer fifty miles away be
in order to see the top.of itp Suppos-
ing the observer to stand upon the
ground, we find by the first rule that
he could just see the top 20 miles
away, and to overcome the remaining
81 miles. due to the convexity Of the
earth. he would. by rule second. have
to climb to the height Of 294 feet II
we apply similar calculations to the
Eiffels Tower, the highest artificial
structure in the world. we obtain some
interesting results. Assuming the
height to be just 1000 feet, we find
that. standing at the top, we enjoy

similar tower should be erected, it
