Simple Methods by Which They

There are doubtless large number
OF intelligent persons in every COM
munity, who, though not particularly
interested or well versed in the study
of mathematics, have often felt the
importance OF knowing some convenient
and simple method for determining the
night OF tree or the width OF a
stream, and TO whom such knowledge
would he very useful and desirable.
The hight Of tree may be estima-
ted sufficiently exact for ordinary pur-
poses by the following method: Being
in the vicinity OF n tree, the hight OF
which you may wish 10 know, and in
your hand you carry walking-cane or
II jointed fishing rod, and supposing
the cane, or a length OF the rod, is just
three feet, set it in the ground verti-
cally, and il the sun shines, it will
cast a shadow; now, with a pocket
rule, you measure the length OF the
shadow. and find it, say two feet
Here, then. we have "a right angle OF
two feet and three feet. Now measure
! from the base OF the tree to the end OF
its shadow, and we will suppose il to
be twenty feet. The problem, there
fore, is simply this: III cane three
feet high casts shadow OF two feet,
how high must tree be to cast a
shadow of twenty feetP Or, in other
words il two gives three, how much
will twenty give? By the simple
"rule of three" we find the answer to
be thirty feet Thus, by similar
triangles, we have 2:3::20:X. .X=30

by birth. Thirteen years ago he was

is building "a massive structure POO feet
deep, 10 feet front. and IL stories high
on Broadway. This building will cost
81, 100000 when finished and is paid
for step by step. His business methods
are unique. He has 400 employees and
pays seventy five off every day, This
makes every day IA pay-day. His an

pose tho sun doesn't shine, what thcnp"
Why, then set up the cane as before,
say eighteen feet from the base OF the
tree. Now place your head on the
ground, with the cane between you and
the tree. moving nearer to or farther
from IL, until you can just see the top
OF tho cane; then place a pebble or
mark on the ground at the point where
you obtain this view. The cane being
three feet high, the distance from the
pebble to it will be two feet. and from
the pebble to the base Of the tree,
twenty feet, hence, by the same rule, we
find the height OF the tree to be thirty
feet, as explained above.
The following method. with little
practice, will enable any person 10
measure tho heights of trees or other
objects with approximate accuracy
when the sun is not shining, and the
method here given represents the
simplest and quickest way to measure
heights, though the results are not alb
solutely correct
First make mark on the tree or
other object. say six feet from the
ground, or place a pole six feet up
FlRHb dSdiuoJ III iHtu Walk away W
such a distance that the breadth OF the
hand, held out at full arms length,
will just cover the six feet. Mark
with the eye point on the tree at the
upper end Of the six feet, and move
the hand upwards another breadth, and
thus proceed until the whole height is
measured. 1t may sometimes be con-
venient for an assistant to stand at the
foot Of the tree, and if when his hat is
on he. will be six feet high. he may
serve as q measure to begin with
instead of the rod. 1t is well to stand
at some distance from the tree in
making these measurements, or other
wise the upper measured proportions
will be larger than the lower on ac-
count OF the longer legs" OF the
imaginary triangle. II the distance
be too great for the breadth of the
hand, one or two fingers only may be
used, or a short pocket rule. Or, if
the pocket rule be used, its separate
subdivision into inches may be made to
indicate the proportions measured, and
the whole completed at measurement.
