HOW FAR A MAN TRAVELS.
By the Aid of the Earth's Rota ton He
Covers Many Miles an Hour.

From the New York Journal
An ordinary walk Of an hour Is equiva-
lent to journey of 1900 miles. just as
beginning. The average person walks three
miles an hour. according to reckoning, but
when it is considered that the world is
constantly turning on 's axis 1t is apparent
where the 600 miles come in. This is by
no means all. The earth makes journey
round the sun every year, and: long but
rapid trip it is. The distance Of our planet
from the sun is put n round numbers at
100000 miles. This IS the radius of the
earth's orbit-half the diameter of the
circle. as it is called. The whole diameter
is therefore 1s4, ,o0o, 600 miles, and the cir
cumference. being the diameter multiplied
by 3.1il6. is about SIS. .oO0.O 600 This amazing
distance the earth. travels in its yearly
journey, and, dividing It BY 365, we find
the daily speed about oOS miles. Then.
to get the distance you rode round the sun
by your hours walk. divide again by "a
and the result is about 900 miles. This is
not the end of the hours trip, however.
The sun, with its entire brood of planets.
is moving In space at :he rate Of 166. 600 900
miles in year. That is at the rate of a
little more than 4540e miles a day, or 49,
800 miles an hour. So. adding the three
miles of leg travel - the hours axial
movement of the earth. this to the earths
orbital journey, and this again to the
earth's excursion with the sun. and you
find you have Travelled in the hour $500
miles.

ton to this, the New York World

Southern Negro Who Wants to Go In

From the ALBANY Argus.

From the Albany Argus.
Some of the letters that Mayor TEACHER
gets are curiosities in their way. cope
from out of town who wish to find out
anything in the city of Albany invariably
write letters to the mayor. 1t doesn't make
any difference what the ,nformati de-
sired relates to. the mayor, they think,
ought to know.
A letter was received from negro away
down South, who. Mr.. Monaha1, says, has
been dead for thirty years-not literally a
corpse. but deceased as far. as mis- grip On
hustling, progressive nineteenth century
life was concerned. This man believes that
slavery is still an institution in this great
land. and is ignorant of the glorious fact
that the masters whip hasn't cracked for
thirty years. He never heard Of the presi-
dents proclamation, never knew that the
North had whipped the South, ard that n
million lives had been sacrificed to free the
slave. In his letter to the mayor this col
ored man asked to be brought North and
sold back into slavery: There is no 4ues-
ton that he found it impossible to live in
the South. and longed again for the ire
sponsibility from self-support of slave
days, which he thought still flourished in
the South.
