Judge Distances Accurately.
From the New York Times.
The eve may be educated to greater use
and power, as well as strength, with a
little care and practice, and this has been
appreciated and made use of in the army
of every nation within the past few years.
The study has eventuated into an art.

found profitable to all human beings in
possession of their eyesight. 1t constant
lv happens that men detached from the
main body of the army are called upon at
very vital moments to determine Tor them
selves and their lives the distance OF an
object to be fired at.
Experience abundantly proves that SOL
diers. by continued practice, may and do
learn to estimate distances up 10 S9O or

AN APPEAL FROM WILLIAM WATSON
He Advises This Country 10 Turn Its
Attention to the Armenian Out

RACES.
From the New York Tribune.
London. Dec. 23.-Wnliam Watson. who.
many persons imagine. will be appointed
poet laureate as Lord Tennyson's success
or. has published the following poetical
appeal to the United States in reference
to the situation arising from the message
to congress of President Cleveland in re-
gard to the Venezuelan affair:
O towering daughter. Titan OF the west!
Thou toward whom our Utmost heart Is
pure
or III intent, although thou threatenest
With most unfilial hand thy mother
breast:
Not fol, one breathing space may earth
endure
The thought of wars intolerable cure
For such vague pains as veX to-day thy
breast.
But II thou hast more strength than thou
canst spend
In tasks Of peace and flndst her yoke too
tame,
Help us TO smite the cruel. to befriend
The succorless and put the false to shame.
So shall the ages laud thee, and thy name
BE lovely among nations 10 the end.
The Westminster Gazette says it fears
that the poets appeal to America comes
too late. There was a Time says the Ca
zette. when Cobden's dream of America s
have been fulfilled. but now President
Cleveland has created Just that diversion
on which the sultan has been counting all
along.

1t will be perceived at glance that, since
Van Buren,, Tyler and Fillmore are the
only two presidents who have outlived
their expectation of 1,.fe, and that out of tho
line of 21 only ha1 thus happily disap-
pointed the expectancy of statistics.
But a closer scrutiny of the table need
not deter any ambitious native American
from making the race for president. BY
eliminating Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln and
Garfield from the list the average of years
lived will be evened up close to that of ex-
pectation. The two former presidents
were scarcely in office long enough to be
included in the category, while we can
scarcely reconcile the<ate of Lincoln and
Garfield as a legitimate factor in such a
discussion. General Grant died from can

Lezotte left the New Bedfords with only

LONGEVITY OF PRESIDENTS.
An Insurance Experts Figuring on Their
Expectation of Life.

Tho Washington correspondent of The
Times Herald has interviewed life insur-
ance agent on the comparative longevity
of presidents of the United States. This
expert finds that the average age at
Inauguration was So years, the average
expectation of life II years and tho ac-
tual after life only IA years. From this
he reasons that the presidential Office
is becoming too heavy burden for any
man to assume without almost certain
shortening of his life" This expert is
especially wrought up over what he thinks
is the startling contrast between the Ion
gevity of the early presidents and the later
ones, and he is led to fear that he will new
er again ''sec a president survive the full
period of his natural expectation.
The table which this expert has prepared
is of more interest and value than his
croakings and is well worth studying. 1t
is as follows:
