OF veal. To prepare them the natives

sound at Different Angles.

In some recent experiments on the
range OF human hearing, the ticking
OF a watch was distinctly audible at a
distance OF ten feet on a line at right
angles to the head. On moving the
watch Is degrees in front Of the line
the tick could be heard fourteen feet
eway; at an angle Of 40 degrees only
six feet and at So degrees only three
feet. Placed rs degrees back of the
line, the watch could not be heard be-
yond six feet. Tho total range Of hear
ing was about 95 degrees. the direc-
ton of greatest acuteness being Is de-
grees in front OF the imaginary line
through the ears. Descending from
the horizontal, the hearing distance
increased from ten feet 10 maximum
of twelve feet at 35 degrees. and then
decreased until reduced to three feet
at so degrees. On carrying the watch
upward the sound decreased steadily
until at an angle OF 60 degrees it could
be heard only three feet away.

History OF Weights ami Measures.

The jewellers OF the Middle Ages
used in their delicate scales the hard
brown seeds of the Moorish Carob-tree
(Cerdtonta sItqua), and the weight of
diamonds is still reckoned by carats,
each carat being equal to 3 and one
sixth grains troy. The earliest at
tempt to regulate British weights and
measures appears to have been sug-
gested by this example. In 1866 it
was declared by statute that IAN Eng

is still used for both dry and liquid

"Uncle Billy" Green is one OF the
most interesting OF the historical char
acters OF Illinois. He was born in
Tennessee in 1912, in what was then
Overtou county. He came to Illinois
in 1920 with his parents. who settled
near Old Salem, in this (Menard)
county. He met Abraham Lincoln
soon after that awkward young man
landed from the fiat boat which fioated
down the Sangamon TO Salem on the
high water following the deep snow"
of 1881. He was intimately associated
with Lincolu ever afterward. He
says of him: al thought the first time

grocery at Salem. and at night. when
customers were few. he held the gram
mar while Lincoln recited his lessons.
10 his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story OF his love for sweet Ann
Rutlidge. He saw the happy pair
strolling through the woods about old
Salem, or boating on the river, OF
lingering long over the bucket OF
water which Lincoln drew from the
well for Ann. He offered what COM
fort he could when poor Ann died, and
Lincoln's great heart nearly broke.
"After Ann died." says Uncle Billy,

Green saw his friend rise in great
ness and favor with the people. until
he was elected president of the nation.

Green sat at the table on the presi-
dents left, with the dignified Secretary
Seward on his right Lincoln present

RAILROAD NOTES.
c. p. Huntington and Party Are at San

c. p. Huntington and Party Are at San
Diego.
Mr.. Huntington and the party Of railroad
officials accompanying him arrived at San
Diego yesterday afternoon. There they will
separate, Huntington going to Redondo
Beach, the ocean terminus of one of the
Santa Te lines, and Messrs Fillmore, Stubs
and others proceeding on their inspection
trip TO Ell Paso. Mr.. Huntington's health
has not been good since leaving the city,
and after few days recuperation at Re-
dondo lie will leave for New York.
The railroad Commission will hold an
other meeting soon. Besides selecting a
representative for the convention at Wash
ingtOn, they will also consider at this meet
ing the general railroad reports which have
come III from time to time during the month.
1t Is limited that some OF these reports have
not been made out according to law and
that the Commissioners will not sign them
in their present form.
b. McMahOn IL Son have secured the con-
tract to build the PajarO Valley Railroad,
and have given bonds in the sum of S25, 900
that the road shall be completed by August
18th. The road is built chiefly for the
transportation of sugar beets from the
country surrounding its terminus to Spreck-
els factory at WatsonvilIe.
The Pacific Short Line, a road projected
about year ago between Sioux City, Iowa,
and Ogden, Is nearing completion. An eff
fort is being made to have Salt Lake in
stead of Ogden for the terminus. As shown
by estimates this road will cost 49, 000, 900.
1t will require three special trains to
carry the Southern Pacitic's operatives to
Forest Grove tomorrow. Three thousand
people are expected to attend. The occa-
sion is their annual picnic.
General Traffic Manager Gray of the
Southern Pacific is expected home from
Mexico on Friday or Saturday.
