the King was still more cunning. In order
that they should send to Europe for more

AN HOURS STROLL.

In Sixty-Minute Walk You Actually
Travel 1928 Miles.
Have you ever thought of the distance you
travel while you are out on an hours stroll.
Possibly you walk three miles within the
hour, but that does not by any means repre-
sent the distance you travel. The earth
turns on its axis every twenty-fOur hours.
For the sake of round figures we will call
the earth's circumference $4,000 miles, aud
so you must have travelled, during your
hours stroll, 1000 miles in the axial turn of
the earth.
But that is not all. The earth makes
journey around the sun every year, and
long but rapid trip iC is. The distance of
our planet from the sun we will put at o.
100000 miles. This is the radius of the earth's
orbit-half the diameter of the circle, as we
call it. The whole diameter is therefore
1S4, 600 900 miles, and the circumference be-
ing the diameter multiplied by 3.1416 is
about SIS, 100000.
This amrzing distance the earth travels in
its yearly journey, and dividing it by 365 we
find the daily speed about ,5S6, 900. Then
TO get the distance you rode around the sun
during your hours walk. divide again by "a,
and the result is about $4,000 miles. But
even this Is not the end of your hours trip.
The sun, with its entire broad of planets, is
moving in space at the rate of 100, 900. 600
miles in year. That is at the rate of a
little more than 43S, 900 miles a day, or Is, 80
miles an hour.
So, adding your three miles of leg travel
to the hours axial movement of the earth,
this to the earth's orbital journey and that
again to the earth's excursion with the sun,
and you find you have travelled, in the hour,

When the meal was half over a foreign
friend at my left whispered that we were
thirteen, but begged me not to Call attention
to the fact, saying jestingly that no change
at that late stage Of the dinner would break
the spell. Within three weeks one of the
English ladies was dead, and within as
many months the friend at my left lay in
his grave.
Another and very similar instance hap
pened at a dinner which l gave year or
two ago; and L should certainly be unwill-
ing again to aid my friends to a party of
thirteen, or allow any guest to happen in
and make up that number"
Lille Devereux Blake says: a do not
believe that this superstition prevails any
more widely among women than among
men. The great Napoleon was more super
stitiOuS than Nine. de Stael. and doubtless
the weakness is matter of temperament
rather than Of sex. The increase of inteli-
gence aud the efforts of societies like the
Thirteen Club must do much to break down
the old prejudice against the number th,r-
teen. A recent incident may show that it is
growing in popularity. At a large fair thir-
teen was one of the first numbers asked for
in tue books of chances for attractive OBJ
jects. and in surprisingly many instances it
drew the prize"

The means at the disposal of this Govern
ment for making it fair that shall be equal
to the international expositions that have
been held in Europe are in some respects
limited. A large proportion OF the collec-
tons of art, paintings. statuary and relics
of the labor of hundreds of years in all
Europe would be offered to any Govern
ment on the other side to assist in making
a good exhibit; whereas, many articles that
could not be duplicated would not be sent
by the owners across the water with the
added chances of accident by sea and on
land. In regard to that class Of exhibits,
other governments would have much
greater advantage; but for samples of the
industries in foreign countries this Govern
ment should offer every inducement to man
ufacturers abroad, in Europe, Asia, Africa
and the world over, to bring their wares and
exhibits to this fair.

HOW TO RUN
THE Big FAIR.
Further Suggestions From Three Well
Known Business Men.

May Be Successfully Conducted.
Special 10 THE SUNDAY CALL.

"The way to resume" said a distin-
guished philosopher. during the agitation of
the subject of resumption of specie pay
mentS, sis to resume"
To the question, Can the Columbus Gen.
tennial be made successful? l would say
that the way to succeed is to succeed.
There are two kinds Of success to be
aimed at in our Worlds Fair. One is inan-
cial and the other material. Both are i'm
p0rtant. The management however,
should not try TO secure financial success at
the expense of the reputation of the xposi-
ton. 1t is of vastly greater Importance to the
country that the fair should be successful
and reflect credit on the nation than that
the stockholders receive a dividend. In
other words the success of the fair should
be the paramount aim and ambition OF the
management; whether the contributors to
the capital stock receive any return on their
investment is of secondary Importance.
The receipts OF the Philadelphia Centen-
NAL fell considerably below what the exhibit
ton cost in the abstract But the United
States as nation was benefited by it. No
one could say truthfullY that the Philadel-
phia Centennial was a mistake because it
did not pay dividend on the money in
FeSIeO Ill IL.
The wranging over the selection of site
for the fair in Chicago. and other cOnten-
tionS that have arisen to embarrass the
management, are not peculiar to Chicago.
Almost the same troubles would have fol-
lowed the location of the fair in any other
city.
One thing should be made plain. The
simple invitation of the President of the
United States to the foreign nations of the
world to participate in our Worlds Fair
will not be sufficient to bring them here
lt should be suppleme nted by personal So
licitatiOnS from strong representative citi-
zens. ambassadors should, if they have
not already. be sent to all OF the leading ma
lions of the world, who would made it their
business to urge them to participate in our
eXpOsltiO
If the fair should contain products from
each of our forty-four States and Terri
tories, il would not be a success aS Worlds
Fair unless the leading nations of the globe
are also represented in it. A county, State
or domestic fair is one thing; a Worlds
Fair is quite different matter. To the ex-
tent that the Chicago fair embraces the
leading countries of the world will IL be
successful Our own country should not be
sighted. and probably will not be, but the
important thing is to get foreign nations to
exhibit. The American people can be
trusted to look after themselves.
Another point, the fair should be con-
Quoted on strictly business principles. No
politics should be allowed to creep in on any
preteXt whatever. The fair after all is
gigantic business enterprise, and unless it is
managed on business principles 1t cannot
be a success either financially or otherwise.

SINK HOLES IN JAMAICA.

Some of the Dangers That Explorers

honey pot is therefore always filled or nearly
filled with water dark, stagnant and ropy,
and covered with slime upon which few
parasitic plants grow, ard whereon great
black crabs with hideous bristle-covered
legs laziy crawl, shooting out their black
bead-like eyes, and hiding in the grasses by
the edge Of the fostering pool whenever the
traveller approaches. These honey-pots pre-
sent more danger to the explorer than any
other form of sink-hole. for, so effect

To the cigaTette-SmOkers who reYel In the
delights of the article made from Turkish
tobacco, it Will no doubt be of interest
to learn something about the manipula-
ton Of the fragrant weed in the land Of
the pyramids. The data is furnished by
Louis B. Grant, acting COnsul-General at
Cairo.
He makes the somewhat surprising state
ment that by Government decree the area
devoted to the cultivation of tobacco in that
country is limited to $4,000 acres.
OF late years the cultivation Of tobacco in
Egypt has been entirely monOpOlzed by a
small number OF dealers, who, by means OF
rents barely equal to the taxes, had the
lands worked to the very last degree. in
order to reduce TO a minimum the rate Of
taxation and who realized enormous profit
by mixing the inferior product Of the cOun-
try with foreign tobacco.
Egypt, as well as the United States, has
imposed an increased rate on tobacco
brought into her market from abroad. and,
in anticipation of the rise, the merchants
stocked up their st0rehOuseS To such an ex-
tent that it viii be two years before impor-
tatiOns will be resumed.
AS the tobacco now being released was
entered at the old rate of duty, merchants
can still afford to sell at their old prices, and
it appears that there has not yet been gem
eral rise. Sooner or later, however, an in-
crease is unavoidable.

rettcs are entered at the port of Boston for
consumption at the more pretentiOus clubs,

The breathing" of locomOtive-that is

upon The circumference of its driving

ffty-eight miles an hour. Taking the
average circumference of the driving

give, going at express speed, $50 pnffs per

1866 puffs per mile. Therefore, an express
going from London to Liverpool, distance
of 201% miles, will throw out 213,048 puffs
before arriving at its destination. During
the tourist season of 1888 the journey from
London TO Edinburgh was accomplished in

the question: THE Cardinals aim is to rem

Biskra, just inaugurated. is headquarters
for the Cardinals military monks. and the
first detachment will not go forth. as might
be believed, with no especial aim, no definite
knowledge of the route.
The pioneers will pitch their tents at the
first possible point in the desert, dig wells
ard change that corner into an oasis. This
task accomplished, they will leave the post
to newcomers, who will finish their work
that has been well begun, and march on to
another point which they will also leave as
an oasis. All these points will be stations
where the fathers can concentrate their
forces and where liberated slaves can make
their homes.
