AN HOURS WALK.
Xou Would Hardly Think That That

XOu Would Hardly Think That That
Meant Travelling s5,253 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 represent the distance yoa
travel. The earth turns on its axis every
"a hours. Fer the sake Of round figures
we will call the earth's circumference
$4,000 miles, and go you must have
Travelled during the hours stroll 1, 600
miles in the axial turn of the earth.
But this is not all. The earth makes
q journey around the sun every year,
and a long but rapid trip it is. The dis
tance of our planet from the sun we
will put at 90, 600, 600 miles. This ia
the radius Of the earths orbit-half the
diameter Of the circle, as we call it,
The whole diameter is therefore 1884,
OOO, 600 miles, and the circumference,
being the diameter multiplied by Q. 1416.
is about SIS, 600, 600.
This amazing distance the earth tray-
els in its yearly journey, and dividing
it by 865 we &nd the daily speed about
l,bS6, 600. Then, to get the distance
you rcde around the sun during your
hours walk, divide again by "a, and
the result is about $4,000 miles. But
this is not the end Of your hours trip.
The sun, with its entire brood Of plan
els, is moving in space at the rate Of
10000, 600 miles in year. This is at
the rate Of little more than 498, ,0OO
miles day, Or is, 300 miles an hour.
So, adding your three miles Of leg
travel to the hours axial movement q
the earth, this to the earth's orbital jour-
ney, and that again TO the earth's excur-
SION with the sun, and you find you
nave travelled in the hour SO, 258 miles.

THE WELSH LANGUAGE.
Remote Antiquity and the Romance OF
Its Literature.

Its Literature.
One Breton investigator has affirmed
that Welsh was the language of the
Titans, while another has explicitly
stated that it was the mother tongue of
Saturn, Jupiter and the other pFinci-
pal gods of heather Antiquity" Upon
so obscure point we may, perhaps, be
allowed to retain our doubts, nor are
we called upon TO bow with absolute
Difference to the conclusion arrived at
by a more modern Cymric scholar that
the scheme of Dante's 'Divina Com
media" is due to Celtic sources. No
ONE, however. would dream of contest
ing that to the Cymric branch of the
Celtic race we owe the origin of the
Arthurian legend.
We do not know whether it will be
one of the duties of the Welsh university
to endCavOr to revive the real, unadul-
terated Celtic literary traditions and to
purge and purify them from the accre-
tions due to foreign influence. We
should be disposed to say that Celtic
scholarship will be more beneficial and
more successfully employed in collect
ing the indications of the influence ex-
erciscd by the Celtic spirit over the
English language, English romance and
English ways of thought during the
very period when it was supposed to
have been repressed, if not wholly de-
stroyed. Criticism, too, will have abun-
dant work ON its hands in seeking to
separate the authentic from the spuri-
Gus i'll the alleged writings of the earlier
Welsh bards.
In the first year of the century there
was published the ''Myvyrian Archaol-
Ogy of Wales, collection of the most
celebrated works in Welsh literature
from A. d. 500 to A. d. 1400, under
the editorship of Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Ed
ward Williams, known locally as Ed
ward of GlamOrgan, and Dr. Owen
Pugh. But though n poems are there
aScribed to Taliesin, Mr. Stephens con-
siders that 81 Of them are demOnstrably
spurious and that only II of them arc
probably genuine that is to say, be-
long TO the age to w hich they are attrib-
utcd. Few stholarF, however, would be
prepared to challenge the assertion of
Koran that the sixth century was the
golden age OF Cymric literatuGe, though
its first epoch is usually taken to start

WORE THE DIAMOND IN HIS LEG.
A Story of the Way the OrIOfF Stone Wa
Taken From Persia to Russia.

A Story of the Way the OrIoff Stone Was
Taken From Persia to Russia.
Gus Fox, dealer in diamonds on
Fourth street, has story about the fa-
nous Orloff diamond, named after
Count Orloff, the first European who
bought it. Fox says: "It was originally
the eye Of an idol in Trichinopoli. 1t
was stolen, according to the accepted
account by Frenchman, who escaped
with it to Persia, whero he sold It for
the equivalent in our money of 1000
to q Jewish merchant.
''The Jewish merchant sold it to an
Armenian named Shafras, who had
travelled in Russia and conceived the
idea Of taking the diamond to that
country and selling it to the Empress
Catherine for great sum. Shafras paid
him $50, 900 for it.
Having secured the stone, the next
question with Shafras was how to get it
to Russia, or rather how to conceal it
when he was searched by robbers, as he
was SIRE to be on the road. The journey
was long and perilous one, and thieves
abounded everywhere. Shafras thought
of swallowing the stone when he should
be taken by the robbers, but was obliged
to give that plan up, as the diamond
was too large to swallow.
''He began to feel he had a white ele.
phant ON his hands when thought oo-
CURED to him. He procured a sharp
lance, made cut in the fleshy part of
his left leg and thrust the diamond into
the wound. He sewed up the cut with
a needle and silver wire. 1t healed,
leaving the diamond imbedded fast in
thelleg, quite out Of sight.
''Then he started for Russia. On the
way he was seized by robbers again and
again and was thoroughly searched.
Being an Armenian and suspected OF
going to Russia to trade, the thieves
marveled greatly at finding nothing o.
value upon his person.
''He arrived in Russia at last, and.
after extracting his diamond, visited
the empress. He was willing to sell il
for about $3.50, 900, but the empress had
not so large an amount in cash for the
purchase, and Shafras preferred to g6
on to Amsterdam, the seat of the dia
mond cutting industry, where he haG
the stone polished
Here Count Orloff, an extremely
wealthy Russian. saw the diamond anC
was filed with determination to So
cure 1t for the Russian crown. He die
secure it, but Shafras exacted from tn,
Russian government $4O0, 900, an ap
nuity of $50, 900 and title of mobility
He died a millionaire.
'"The Orloff diamond weighs 1el
carats and is about the size of q pi
geon's egg. 1t is smaller than the Kohl
moor, in the possession of tho Epglisl
queen, which is supposed to be wortl
$3, $50, 900. "-Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

seems utterly sensoless, but becomes
lively and picturesque when we remem-

to prevent disfiguring the door, large
nail or bolt was driven. An impatient
caller, waiting fer the door to be open
