The Curvature of the Earth.

Generally speaking, we say that the curvature of the earth -amo0nts to about : inches, or 1862 inches for geographical mile. The effect of the known curvature of our globs may be illustrated in the following manner: Take down your globe. place book, pane of glass, or even a ruler against it, either of the two objects first named being best adapted to such an experiment.
 You will observe instantly that the
 book, pane or ruler only touches the miniature representation of the earth ct one point, the globes sur
 face falling away in all directions from the point of contact.
 Nov, suppose the oceans surface was calm and frozen and a sheet of glass many miles square laid upon it. At one mile from the place of contact the glass would stand out nearly eight inches (this measurement upon the ocean, the mile is 8 nautical one)-in fact, will lack but 38 1000 of an inch of being eight inches from the pane; at three miles it will be six feet and at nine miles fifty-four feet, and so on according to the regular ratio In order to get the whole matter in a nutshell remember that the number of feet of depres- sion is equal to two-thirds of the square of the number of miles for any observable distance.
 There is, however, an error rs- sulting from refraction which must be cancelled. The commonly used formula for correcting is as follows: Square the number of miles and take four.sevenths of it for. r.the cor rection in feet. Thus, if an object is visible at distance of five miles we may know that it's height is at least 14s feet. Or, if the height of 8 visible object is known-say 100 tset-take one fourth of that num- Der, or 25, multiply hy seven and take the square root of the product and you will have the distance of the object, which is in this case s fraction over IS miles. A man swimming in the ocean may see tower 19 miles away even though it only be 200 feet high, but now elevate that man 100 feet above the surface of tbe water and he could plainly see tower only 100 feet high, even though it be 26 miles away.-Philadelphia Press.

A singular story has been report
 ed by the physicians of McPherson county, Kansas. Living in the northeast part of Reno county is a German farmer, Adram Kroeger. He sold his wheat some time ago to the Buhler mill, and it became necessary to, have it delivered, even though the roads were heavy and muddy. In taking the wheat to mill Kroegsr was in the habit of eating wheat. He was continually picking up a mouthfull He was taken sick few days ago, and his

A BLUE GROTTO.
One of Arizona's Natural CuriositieS.

1; HOW many people Kno~ that
 there is a "b!ue grotto" in thf
 United States2 Probably not a dozen. There Is DO doubt but that many more have seen tue spot and passed it by with glance. This is easily possible, because it is in a spot surrounded by all that is grand and beautiful in nature.
 The cave or grotto in question is located about six miles up Sabine Canyon in the Catalina Mountains, in Arizona. There is but little likelihood that it will eyer become a popular resort, so inaccessible is It. A wagon can be driven to the mouth of the canyon, but after that there is no other way to travel but walk. And it is one of the toughest walks imaginable. There Is neither road nor trail, and the traveller has to pick his way over monstrous rocks and tree trunks and cross deposits of powders acres in extent It is long way up and likely to be warm at almost any season of the year; but there is plenty of water to be found in pools every few hundred feet. Climb and slide, get up and stumble, is about the way to get there. But the scenery is grand every step of the way and increases the higher up one goes.
 The trip up is six miles, but if you make it in five hours you are doing good. It is not easy to find even when you are right on top of it, because there are SO many cliffs and buttes around that it is not seen in moment.
 The first signs of it are some large blue powders of a soft forma- ton, apparently slate and mica, that are scattered over the floor of the canyon and in some places from the floor itself The grotto ia really in the wall of the canyon It IS cbout 150 feet long and 90 wide at the opening, but gradually narrows as 1t goss back. At the further end there is a waterfall of about 10 feet that keeps the inside of the cave flooded to depth of about 15 feet. Part of the cave is open at the top, but the waterfall is deep under the roof of the cave. The walls of the cave are probably 40 feet high.
 The rock formation is not much to speak of, but the effect of the interior is dazzling. The walls of the cave being blue, the water in the bottom rehecting the blue sky ill return throws the blue reflection against the blue walls, where it is caught by the bits of mlca and reflected over and over again, until the effect produced is like a cave of amethyst. Gazing into it for a few moments produces a feeling of giddiness.
 A turn in the canyon a few hund- red feet further up brings to view a side of mountain from the base to the top. At one glance can ,he seen the whole side of 5000 feet, with the different stages of yegeta- tion. At the bottom the cotton woods and sycamores, 2 little higher the scrub oaks and cedars, and then the pines that reach to the peak. This mountain side is very steep, and it is doubtful if such another view exists in the world. -Saa FronciscO Call.
