ENOCH UP A TREE.

A paper in Western Nebraska
contains the outline Of a story
th9t should be slang into indy
ing verse by poet as good as
the author of "Enoch Arden"
Some years ago in the town
where the paper is published
there lived a man who had a
wife and daughter. He seemed
prosperous, and his credit was
good for anything he desired.
One fine starlight night he
disappeared taking with him
nearly everything that wasn't
nailed down. He had made
about every man in town ere
ditor, and when he went away
the people betook themselves
into outer darkness for a while
and walled and CRASHED their
teeth.
The wife and daughter were
treated the same as the rest.
They found themselves desti-
tute. They fend in human
from who had so long officiated
as husband and father had left
them not a dollar. The lady
and her daughter were. of
course, looked upon coldly for
a while, rs people believed
them to be in collision with
the departed. But they were
not depressed by this. They
went manfully to work like
little heroines in a play, the
monther did sewing, and the
daughter did whatever she
could do. They prospeYel as
they deserved to prosper The
older heroine in time establish
ed a millinery store which capt
ured all the trade, while the
younger became principal of
the schools. They had money
in the bank and could eat ice
cream whenever they wanted to.
The other day a seedy tramp
called at the back door of a
lady's residence and led for
a drink and something to eat.
The good woman looked at him
intently, and recognized her
husband. And now the really
beautiful part of this story
comes in. Did the lady kill
the fatted calf for the prodigal |
and bid him welcome and for
give the paste Not to any |
great extent.
She called the family dog, a
large creature with a penchant
for human remains, and no man
ever climbed a tree quicker
than did the erring us0and.-

SHAPE OF THE EARTH.
1t May Now be Minutely Caleu
lated, Thanks 10 Uncle
Sans Latest survey.

=
the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey of the distance
from mouth of the Chesapeake
along the thirty-ninth parallel
has been completed. The news
that the last line of the last
triangle received by General
Duffield, the Superintendent OF
the Survey, in a dispatch from
Mr.. William Einheck, who has
been in. charge of the under
taking since its inception in
1873. Every scientist in the
world has been waiting anxious
~ for thisnews. Its importance
may be judged from the fact
that upon this east and west
line depends the determination
of the precise shape of the earth
and the accurate laying of lines
of longitude instead of the APP
proximate ones that are now in
use. This line will be the
basis for revision of all as
Economical work in which &C
curacy is desired. General
Dufheld said today of the Re-
public correspondent:
Twelve years ago a party of
surveyors began measuring
triangles at the same time at
each side of the continent.
One started from the mouth of
the Chesapeake Bay and work
ed westward; the other started
al the Golden Gate. California.
and came eastward. They met
among the Colorado mountains
at a designated spot on Satur-
day a week ago, and the Geo
detic Survey was concluded.
As soon as the party reached a
Geographic station, they sent
ME the news which the Inter
mediate Geodetic- Association.
now in session in Europe, has
been awaiting anxiousIy.
1T will take yet year in
Eli probability to make the
computations from the surrey
and such notifications of por-
tons OF the work as may be
necessary The figures have to
be reduced to the mean sea
level. When This is done we
will be able 70 determine the
distance between San Francis
co and the mouth OF the Ches-
Bay within a few yards
of absolute accuracy.
The work has cost some
thing over $4,000. One of its
most practical advantages will
be that it will enable the de-
termination of distances be-
tween cities and the heights
above the sea level of all points
along the thirty-ninth parallel.
Us scientific advantages are
much greater. In fact, this work
may be taken as Che greatest
ever made to-
science by a Government. The
rhief object of the work is to
determine the precise figure Of
he earth. 1t has already been
determined by north and south /
mes, huf this Que which we
ave just completed is the only |
,ne Of any extent running east
md west.
There are two or three of
he norfh and south lines. Rus

limit Of her territory. There is
one in India run by England
that is next in length, while
the third was run by England
aud France in conjunction,
from the most northern point
of Scotland, down to the Bal
carrie Islands. From these lines
the shape of-the earth has been
determined north and south,
but it has been necessary, in
order to ascertain the exact
shape, to RIM a similar line east
and west. The United States is
the only country that has en-
ough territory will be the great
eft geodetic line ever measured
in the world
"Mathpmaticians have figur-
ed out what the shape of the
earth ought to be. They have
worked on the basis of the earth
in a molten condition. Knowing
the number of revolutions and
the centrifugal force. they could
calculate about what the earth's
figure should be. But the earth
cooled more quickly at the
poles than at the equator and
did not take the shape that the
mathematicians figured on. In
order TO determine what its ac-
tual shape was, therefore, a
perfect triangnlated survey was
necessary.
while the present lines of
longitude are close enough for
the ordinary use of sailors,
they are not sufficiently accu
rate for scientific work. To de
termine any astronomical OBJ
serva;ion, it is necessary to
have a vertical line, in order to
obtain the zenith. That vertical
line is at right angles TO the
tangent 10 the curve of -
earth at that point. The plumb
line does not give a true vertical
line. II Is affected by outside
influences. Ar the seashore, by
the fact that the lighter water
is on one side of it and the
heavier land on the other and
in the interior of the country
by the mountain masses on the
one side and the plains on the
other. The correction OF
plumb line is, therefore, one of
the most difficult tasks in ply
sizes instead of the simplest, as
an ordinary observer might
think. With this trascontinen-
tai geodetic work completed.
We will be able to supply that
vertical lire SO necessary to
all exact astronomical work.
The whole scientific world
will owe a lot of gratitude to
the United States Government
for the energy and skill with
which it has accomplished this
great and important undertake

CORBETT WAKES WRATH
Thinks Legislators Condemned
Something They Don't I'm
derstand.

utfSldHO.
Atlanta. Ga, Oct 2-The
news from Texas of the action
of the State Legislature in pass
ing the prize fight bill reached
Champion Corbett as be was
waiting to go on at the Troca
dero. The announcement was
made from the stage that the
bill had passed without the
emergency clause and the fight
could, therefore, take place,
but Corbett and Brady know
better. They We're together
when seen. When asked what
he thought of it, Corbett said:
In the absence of defninte
information as TO the exact
terms of the bill which the Tex
as Legislature has passed, |
cannot very well give an answer
beyond thtiS: We are und"r
contract with Dan Stuart and
the Florida Athletic Club and
propose TO live up to our part
of the contract. We are going
to Texas under the terms of our
contract and | am going there
to fight. | am ready and will
ing to fight whenever they say,
provided. of course, they live
up to their part of it.
at seems very funny that
the Legislature of Texas and
the Governor should go so far
out of their way to make spe-
cial fight on sparring contests,
of which the chances are the
majority of the Legislators
know nothing whatever. So far
as there being any brutality in
such a contest between skilled
pugilists who are in good ply
steal condition, there is nothing
of the sort. The State of Texas
is put to heavy expense for a
special act against sparring
contests. which do not do near
ly So much harm, and in which
there is not nearly so much
danger, as in football, baseball
and other contests, in which
men are killed. 1t looks to me
like the narrowest OF prejudice
and nothing more"
Corbett was quoted in an
Atlanta paper as saying he
knew Fitzsimmons was the
hardest man he had ever gone
against. That is true, except
Jackson" said Brady, "but
that is not saying much, for the
were not common amuse
ment for jim"

to the matter the Florida Times
Union says:
This money was made, not
inherited. 1t represented the
savings of one of the negro
race-bOrn in the south and
living in the south till the time
of his death. Does not the fact
that this man succeeded so well
show that the negro is not him
dered in the south in the accu
mutation of property? The ne
gro can find a better place of
residence than in The south.
Here he is in contact with a
civilization he would lose by
moving to Africa He is living

dual, has a stronger friendship
for him than he will find among
