He Had Not Observed the Motion.

Il was born in Ireland and raised in
Missouri, but by someinexplicable COM
bination of circumstances / learned to
read and WRITE" said ex-Sheriff Dono-
hoe of Mendocino. when first struck
this coast / was broke, and TAX
ing pardonable pride in my superior ed
ucation l decided to teach school. The
trustees who employed me suggested
that 'readin', spellin' and a little figger-
in was all they desired their children
to know. and some Of them didn't
want them to learn that much for fear
that they would know more than their
parents.
After a short time l added geogra-
ply to the other branches and used a
nice round pumpkin for the earth, and
a buggy spoke for its axis. The conti-
nents we're marked of with charcoal,
the oceans were yellow and the frozen
zones were chalked.
"One day one OF the trustees dropped
in while | was revolving the pumpkin
earth on its axis around a large pump
kin sun while my prize pupil worked an
apple moon. The trustee listened atten-
lively, but said not a word till l dis
missed the pupils. Then he tapped me
on the shoulder and remarked:
"'Say. young feller; l come across
the plains in 40 an l guess IL the
'arth had been round I'd noticed it.
[ didn't experience no trouble nowhere
a-hangin' on. Mabe it was because
the underside never came our way,
but reckon it's more likely that the
'arth didn't whirl around on a hick'ry
stick. Them pumpkins would make
good pies and he tucked one under
each arm and disappeared"

4 Cranky kniser.

The Emperor William. it is an
nounced from Berlin, proposes to
have his hereditary ecclesiastical al
status duly recognized. AS kaiser he
is ''summus episcapus. j. e.. pope Of
the German Lutheran church, the
established church OF the empire. and
he has decided to occupy q pulpit and
preach. The kaiser is a crank. and
his people have patiently submitted to
many wild vagaries at his hand. but
he cannot expect this last act to pass
without a challenge. Even the Ger
man Lutherans insist on q regularly
transmitted ministry.

A Fine Old Game for Boys

The old game of hare and hounds is
gaining new popularity and being
played by many boys nowadays.
Any number Of persons may play the
game. One or two of the players arc
chosen as harcs, and each is provided
with a bag filled with torn pieces Of pa
per, which are called scent"
The hares start of together, the rest
of the players, who are called hounds
not being allowed to see the direction
they take. When five, ten, or fifteen
minutes--as may have been agreed
upon-have elapsed the hounds set of
in pursuit of the hares. In their hunt
they are guided by the scent, handfuls
Of which are thrown out by the hares
as they cover the course.
Usually it is agreed beforehand that
the run shall be a certain number of
miles or for a certain length of time. II
a hound catches one of the hares within
the specified distance he wins; other
wise the hares win.
II hound catches sight Of the hares
he and his companions may not cut
across and run toward them directly.
but he must follow the course of the
scent, although sometimes rules are
made allowing this to be done, under
which circumstance it is, of course,
perfectly allowable.
Very often chalk Is used In place OF
paper, the hares making marks upon
trees. walls and pavements. This is
not. however. as satisfactory as paper
for scent. The scent should be white in
summer and black in winter. The
reason 1t should be black in winter is
that in this way the Aounds will be
enabled to more easily follow 1t.
This game is often played by rival
clubs, two rival packs of hounds consti-
tuting the whole pack The game is
then decided by adding together the
numbers representing the order in
which the two clubs finished.

The length OF the shadow which
the earth casts into space has attract
ed some attention since the eclipse OF
the moon. This shadow is in the
form Of cone with the diameter of
the earth as its base. 1t is 864, 900
miles long. That is il you travelled
into space. away from the earth,
more than three times as far as the
moon. the shadow would still shield
you from the sun, provided you re-
mained on what may be called the
night side of the earth. The diameter
OF the sun is $4,000 miles. that of
the earth is 1926 miles. and the dis
tauce from the sun to the earth is 93,-
900, 00U miles.
