MATHEMATIcsAND ASTRONOMY
Two Sciences That Are Closely Related
and Necessary to Each other.

Two Sciences That Are Closely Related
and Necessary to Each Other.
Probably in none of the sciences, ap-
piled or pure, is a knowledge of higher
mathematics so essential as astron-
omy. Certainly none involves so much
mathematical labor. The method of
the least squares is one in almost con-
slant use by those engaged in astro-
nomical calculation, and the amount of
labor often entailed by this process is
enough to make the head of an ordi-
nary citizen swim even to think of.
One of the most extensive least square
solutions ever made, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, has recently been pub
lished by Prof. Schur, of Goettingen.
The heliometric triangulations of the
stars in the cluster Praesepe (the Bee
hive) gave rise to a series of IA normal
equations, involving "A unknown guam
titles. The solution of this set of
quantities was effected by Prof. Schur
in ten weeks by means of the usual
Gaussian method of elimination. Prof.
Schur comes to the conclusion that no
other method by successive approxi-
nations is to be compared to the
Gaussian method, even though itnight
seem to promise a saving of labor in
advance. Prof. Schur mentions as the
longest least square solution he has
been able to find in astronomical liter
ature a geodetic adjustment made by
Baeyer, in which a set of normal equa-
tions with 68 unknowns was success
fully solved by the famous computer.

FLAT FEET ARE InE Innv1.
Use Wide Shoes and You VIII Be Able to
walk ErectIy.

Use Wide Shoes and You Will Be Able to
Walk Erectly.
Not more than two men in 100 walk
erectly. This observation comes from
a man who is crank about the benefits
of wide, flat shoes, says the New York
Press. He declares he has made notes
and knows what he is talking about.
He thinks that the 1.-TWO men in 100"
wear the same kind of shoes that he
wears, which look like those used for
walking on water. This man also be-
lieves that the percentage of women
who walk straight is so small that it is
not worth considering.
The whole trouble he attributes to
shoes. He says men and women We're
never intended to wear shoes at all. 1t
is his observation that when the foot
is fattened out and the toes spread the
natural movement of the body is to
straighten itself. This he attributes
to certain muscular action, and he has
chart to prove it.
When the foot is compressed by Il
shoe and the toes jammed together
there is a sympathetic tension on the
whole muscular and nervous system
(which draws the body forward or
bends it.
1t has been noted in his calculations
that persons in bathing costume on the
beach walk much straighter. 1t is also
u notable fact that the Indian, who runs
barefooted on the plains, has the proud
est kind of a walk. He is as straight as
an iron pole.

w. r. Cook of the west side was
thrown from his wagon on Center street
early last evening and received bad
cut on the side of his face and sundry
into his wagon and reached over for the
reins when the horse started suddenly,
throwing him to the ground. The horse
started on run, cutting across the curb
at the corner of Main street, colliding
with telephone pole, which threw out
the contents of the wagon, bag of
sugar, can of oil and other articles. The
animal kept up at a lively rate down
Main street, and turned up Prince
street to Whittlesey avenue, where he
was stopped by f. M Staley and
brought back to the starting place. Mr.
Cook seemed to think that he was not
hurt much, but it is believed that his
bruises are more serious than he thinks.
The horse had become FESTIVE by stand
ing in the cold wind, and has never been
known to start that way before. The
horse or wagon was not seriously dam

Great Interest Attaches to the Recent
Supreme Court Decision.
Next to the suit of the government
against Mrs. Leland Stanford the most
interesting case decided by the supreme
court of the United States on Monday
was the criminal prosecution entitled
the state of Connecticut against Edgar
M. Geer.
This case involves the constitutional
ity Of statute of Connecticut which
prohibits any person, corporation OF
company from transr orting beyond the
limits Of the state any woodcock, quail,
or ruffled grouse killed therein, or from
selling or having in possession any such
birds with the intention that the same
shall be taken out Of the state.
The statute was assailed on the
ground that it was an attempt to inter-
fore with commerce between Connecti-
cut and other states. and hence was in

COMPTON FINALLY FREED
The Third Complaint Against Him Dismissed
On Motion

c. G. Compton was yesterday dis
charged by Justice Morrison from GUS
tody and she third felony complaint filed
against him ordered dismissed. Comp
ton was arrested on January II last and
accused of having in his possession a
forged check purpOrting to have been
drawn for SIS by Mrs. AlVa l.. Donahue
upon the First National bank and in
dorsed by c. g. Compton and James
Kerr. In the first case a COM
plant alleging forgery was sworn
to and after many weary weeks and
months of continuances, dismissed.
Then another alleging a felony for
having in his possession a forged check
was drawn only to be dismissed a few
days later. when the third. on the same
lines as the second, was filed. 1t be-
came necessary for the prosecution TO
make case to have the testimony of the
missing witness, Henry Wenzel, from
whom all along Compton has claimed
that he received ire check. When the
last continuance was granted Detective.
Goodman promised to have this man
present at the next hearing. Yesterday
was that date.
Deputy District Attorney Willis arose
when the case was called and stated to
the court that it HAD been found impos-
sible to get the witness Wenzel here.
and ne could see no way of procuring his
attendance in the immediate future For
this reason he asked that the complaint
be dismissed and the defendant dis
charged. Justice Morrison readily
granted this and Compton walked forth
free man once more.
