Tested by n star.

Some very old printing that was
brought to light the other day contains
curious suggestions for making certain
calculations that will interest many peo-
pie. One OF the suggestions runs to the
effect that person may ascertain his
rate of walking by the aid OF string
with piece Of lead at one end of it. The
string should be knotted at distances of
A feet, which distance is the 120th part
OF an English mile and bears the same
proportion to mile that half minute
bears to an hour. Ii the traveller, when
going at his usual gait, drops the lead,
letting the string slip through his hand,
the number OF knots which have passed
in half a minute indicate the mum Der OF
feet he walks 10 an hour.
An easy method Of correctly regulating
time-piece by the stars is suggested as
follows:
As the motion of the earth with regard
to the fixed stars Chose that twinkle) is
uniform, time pieces can in most sim
pie manner be correctly regulated by the
stars with greater facility than by the
sun. Choose a south window from which
any fixed point, such as a chimney, side
OF a building, etc, may be seen. To the
side of the window attach piece OF card
board having a small hole in it, in such
a manner that by looking through the
hole toward the edge OF the elevated OBJ
| iect some fixed star may be seen.
The progress OF the star must DO
watched, and the instant it vanishes be-
hind the fixed point the observer must
note the exact time it disappears. The
following night the same star will vanish
behind the same object three minutes
and fifty.six seconds sooner. II time
piece mark 8 O'Clock when the star
vanishes one night, the following night
it will indicate three minutes and fifty
six seconds less than 8. Ii the tinao piece
be faster or slower than the indication
Of the star, then it has gained or lost the
difference. Ii several cloudy nights fol-.
low the first observation of the star, il is
only necessary to multiply three minutes
fiity-six seconds by the mum Der of days
that have elapsed since the observation,
and the product deducted from the hour
the clock indicates the first night clear
enough for the second observation gives
the time the clock or watch ought to
show. The same star can only be OBJ
served during a few weeks, for as it
gains nearly an hour in fortnight, il
will in short time come TO the meridian
ia broad daylight and become invisible.
In making the observation care must
be taken that planet is not chosen in
stead OF star. Additional to the fact
that the light OF fixed stars twinkle,
while that of planets is steady because
ref ected a sure means OF distinguishing
between them is to watch certain star
attentively for few nights. Ifit changes
its place with regard to the other stars it
is planet, since the fixed stars appear
to maintain the same relative positions
with regard to each other.

pause he said, with much show OF feel
ing: "Alas, that should have lived TO
see the day when all the friends OF the
South are prepared to consent to her
degradation, and without another word
he strobe away, and the last formal coun-
Gil OF the Southern Confederacy broke
up.
But Davis had not yet given up. The
next day be issued a proclamation from
Danville, in which he urged the people
of the South to continue the struggle to
the bitter end. In that proclamation oc.
cur these words: Relieved from the
necessity Of guarding particular points,
our army will be free to move from point
to point and strike the enemy Ia detail
far from his base MIR. Davis himself
subsequently was led to dominate this
proclamation as "oversanguine."
One after another the remaining gen.
erals of the Confederacv surrendered,
and from April to May 10 he wandered
about from place to place. trying no
doubt, to get out of the country and seek
refuge In England. His wife had pre-
ceded him to point near Irwinsvllle,

ard, OF the United States army, and a

Demand for "a Genius.

The American people appear to have
clicked" over three billion OF postage
stamps during the past year; at least the
annual bureau Of engraving and printing
shows 1864 1902 GOO as the number OF all
kinds delivered to postmasters. Some
obscure writer has suggested that there is
uudying popularity awaiting the post
master general who shall first order the
gum on the back of the stamps to be at
tractively favored. Then a man can
step up to the stamp window and order
for instance, dozen vanilla "twos," az
many pineapple zones" and few win
tergreen ''fives" for his foreign cores
pondence, and enjoy a feast of flavorl
while he stamps his mail.
