MOVEMENTS OF THE SHAFT.
eat care is taken to note the movemel

Great care is taken to note the movements
Of the shaft, for 1t does move The law of
contraction and expansion of material by
heat and cold operates here as well as else
where. When the sun shines full on the
eastern face in the morning the stones on
that side expand and throw the shaft slightly
to the west. Then the sun goes around to
the south and the apex Of the monument
makes corresponding swing to the north.
AS the orb creeps about the sky to its final
setting in the evening tho glittsring point ON
top of the monument makes q contra move
ment around half circle, gradually settling
back to its normal position after the rays Of
the sun have lost their power. This move
ment has never been calculated, but it is un-
doubtedly very slight The wind. too, has
an effect upon the structure. From the CEN
ter Of gravity Of the shaft, located 174 feet
and 10 inches from the floor, is a cross beam,
from which is suspended fine steel wire,
protected by galvanized iron tube about
four inches in diameter. This hangs to the
floor at the northwest corner Of the elevator
well. At the bottom is plumb bob weigh
ing twenty-five pounds, suspended by means
Of the wire, and hanging in water.
An iron cylinder protects the instrument
from injury, and little iron house about
four feet high keeps Off the draught.
Through the cylinder Is telescopic eye
piece, in one end Of which are two vertical
wires about one-quarter of an inch apart.
When candle is held at an opening in the
side OF the box, and the eye is applied to the
outside end of the tube, the plumb line can
DO seen-a fine line between the vertical
marks. Any movement in tho shaft Is re-
corded by corresponding movement in the
line. When the structure Is at rest, and in
its normal position, the line hangs still, mid
way between the others; but when tho shaft
is disturbed by the action Of tho wind, it
sways back and forth like the pendulum OF
a clock, always coming to rest in tho center.
This is observed every day, and IL the custo-
dian should ever notice the line hanging still
at any point outside of the two cros5 lines,
he will then know that the monument has
been permanently moved from its level posi-
tion. Until then, however, no olc need be
alarmed by the oscillations Of the shaft from
the action fof tho wind or tho influence Of
the sun.-W Washington Star.

panied Fernandez had al they could
do in hand-to-hand struggle With two
robust Americans. But the struggle
vas Of short duration. for the young
Mexicans so0n surrendered.
The ranchero gave q feeble call for
help, which some Of the men-servants
quickly answered.
A sort OF melee commenced, that was
brought ON no one could tell exactly
how. Pistol shots rang out on the still
night air, by the chapel door, and the
women servants shrieked and fled
through the trees, the priest shouted
to be heard above the din in vain; and
IN the height Of it all, Leo. with .
severe wound in his left arm, received
he scarcely knew how, cut his way out
with Colonel Fernandez, his prisoner
still. lula velasquez and her maid,
Zela, were by his side. and the other
Americana followed fast behind.
Here, through the garden to yon
grove!n whispered lula velasquez to
Leo. "We shall find horses there for
our escape. Go not out at the front
entrance, as Mexican soldiers left on
the plaza by Colonel Fernandez will
again oppose u.s."
It did not require much time to reach
the grove pointed ont by Tula velas-
quez, and where they found their
horses ready for them, as Zela, the
maid, had said. They o mounted
and rode away, with the shouts Of
Mexican soldiers, trying to find their
route of escape, ringing in their ears.
When at last their trail was discoy-
cred the Mexicans gave them a hot
chase for o short distance; but as they
got near Juarez's camp they abandoned
the pu:@;!it. Leo and his comrades
dashed into camp, where the lovely
Tula was surrendered to her lover,
Ezualdo, and the prisoners to Juarez
himself, who found in Colonel Fer
nandez o foe he had long desired to
capture. :.
Ny friends wound was SO obstinate
in healing he was compelled to leave
the service sou after the adventure
just narrated. Before he quit Mexico,
however, he saw lula v~eiasquez and
Ezualdo happily made one.

nIiterate French. Canadians.

According to a Winnipeg paper, 80
per cent. of the French half-breed chill
dren i'll Manitoba can neither read nor
write, although there have been sepa-
rate schools since 1872. Apropos of
this statement it is interesting to learn
from the statistical reports of Massa-
chusetts that of the French Canadians
of voting age Ii, 1919 are illiterate while
but 1913 are literate, or able to read
and write. The reports rank French
Canadians as the last of Municipalities in
point of scholarship. Eastern Catholic
schools seem to he no more successful
than those of the west.

Ocean DEPTHS.

The greatest known depth of the
ocean is midway between the Island of
Tristan d Acunha and the mouth of
the Rio de la Plata. The bottom was
there reached at a depth of 46. 2OOfeet,
or 81 miles, exceeding by more than
II. 200 feet the height Of Mount Everest,
the loftiest mountain in the world. In
the North Atlantic Ocean, south of
Newfoundland, soundinRs have been
made at q depth of 1850 fathoms, or
26,4sO feet, while depths equaling a.
OOO, or 81 miles, are reported south Of
the Bermuda Islands. The average
depth of the Pacific Ocean, between
Japan and California, is a little over
1900 fathoms, between Chill and the
Sandwich Islands, $500 fathoms, and
between Chill and New Zealand, 1900,
fathoms. The average depth of ali the
ocean is from 1900 to $500 fathoms.

will explain the modus operandi of
the game. The club on the outside,
or the @outs," as they are called-that
is, those who play in the field-take
their position, each in their respective
places. The twirler twirls the leath-
ern sphere to the man at the bat, and
it the sphere is fickle-minded and
shoots off at a tangent from its original
direction when it arrives at the home
plate, the nan at the bat fans the
wind. If the sphere takes a straight
course the man at the home-plate
sends a sky-scraper away out into
the dim distance over the fence, and IL
the audience does its duty and cheers
v~ociferously, the man who smote the
leathern sphere will probably make a
home run; If not. he will surely make
q three-bagger unless there is an m
pediment in. his. locomotion. II the
batter does not fan the air, and if he
succeeds in sending the sphere squarely
and with exceeding great force; he may
send it far out into the field. Ifhe does
not get q satisfactory whack at the ball,
he will probably send it with great
swiftness-like unto y cannon ball
into the yearning grasp of the pitcher,
who clings unto it with exceeding de-
light and feverish hands. The twirler
then fires the sphere to second or third,
as the case may be, and the umpire
informs you that the runner is ont.
The position of an umpire is q very
precarious one. There isn't much
money in it, but lots Of. abuse. The
poor umpire tries to do his duty and
give correct decisions, and does not
merit the abuse that he gets. He is
only human, and was not born with
eyes that can see east, west, north,
and south at one glance. He some
times makes an erroneous decision be-
cause his eyes are not gifted with I'M
niscience. Then, again, the spectators
are not all infallible. Some people
are cross-eyed, some are laboring under
undue excitement and liquor, and 9TH
ers are not we'll read in the literature
OF the game. So there are mistakes
made on both sides. In Pittsburgh
and other towns, where the slough"
element is numerous and pre-eminent,
the umpire does his umpiringin q little,
strongly built house, constructed some
what in the shape Of . small-sized
dag-house, capable Of holding only
one man. After the umpire has made
his decision he retreats into his little
fort and awaits developments. When
the storm has subsided he comes ont
again to attend to the. nmpiring busi-
ness.-OhicGdO Le1gev.'
