1T. siichael's College.

Brother Botulph, the popular director
of st. Michael's college, is receiving q
great many inquiries just now as to
rates, ETC., for the school year which be-
gins September l. He thinks the attend

for the coming year than for several
years past. And it is good sign that
this is go, for it shows that our people
are thoroughly alive to the advantages of
an education for the youth of the terri
tory. No institution west of the Missis-
sippi has turned out more good citizens
than st. Mlchael's in it's nearly forty years
of existence, and it is held in high esteem
by the people generally of New Mexico.
II also draws largely from Arizona, and
many prominent families in Mexico who
desire 70 give their sons an English edu-
cation also patronize this worthy college.

an in New York six days ago, the conclu-
sion ls rather inevitable that the visit

The Earth's Swift Motion.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on its
axis once in each twenty-four hours.
But few, however, have any idea of the
high rate of speed at which such an
immense ball must turn in order to ac-
complish tue feat Of making one revo-
luton in day and a night. A graphic
idea Of the terrific pace which the old
earth keeps up year after year may be
had by comparing its speed to that of a
cannon ball fired from modern high
pressure gun. The highest velocity ever
attained by such a missile has been es-
timated at 1926 feet per second, which
is equal to a mile in Is seconds. The
earth, in making one complete revolu-
ton in the short space Of twenty-four
hours, must turn with velocity almost
exactly equal to that Of the cannon
ball. In short, it's rate Of speed at the
equator is exactly 1907 feet per second.
This is equal to II miles minute.

Mr. Wilson's Table.

There is a man in Utah, John R. Will
son by name, who has played trick on
most Of the governors Of the different
states and who is now about to reap the
benefits thereof. He wrote to these
different governors, asking each one for
a piece of wood, of historical antece-
dents if possible, the same to be used in
the construction of table for the use
of the new governor of Utah in his Off
cial capacity. The governors re-
sponded generously and Mr.. Wilson's
table contains, among other things, a
piece Of the Charter Oak" a bit Of
William PENIS house, slice off of the
frigate Constitution and other choice
bits Of timber. The table has been
completed and now Mr.. Wilson offers it
for sale to anybody who will bid
enough. The stupendous audacity of
the man would almost be enough to
make the table valuable curio even If
there were no other assertions.
