to see that this is a resistance against

A GLIMPSE At WEST POINT.
One Pleasant Feature OF Life There Is It's
Democratic Simplicity.

There are no vacations at West
Point. Except for a few weeks at the
close Of the third year the cadet is not
allowed a leave of absence during the
fouryear's course. But from the mid
die of June to the end Of August books
are laid aside and the boys go into
camp i'll the little grove at one side of
the campus. Tent life is always well
come, but 1t can scarcely be looked
upon as holiday. ReVeille sounds at
$50 in the morning and every moment
of the day is occupied with some mill
taty duty. There is troop parade every
morning after breakfast. after that
the daily guard mount and then two
hours of infantry drill Then the
fourthclass men, the plebes. tramp
away to Washington Valley and spend
an hour in receiving instruction in
swimming, the thrd-class men have
artillery drill and the first-class men.
the seniors, have target practice. The
afternoon is filled with mere drill.
In spite of the Spartan discipline
maintained and the unccasing round of
drill and study, there is plenty of fun
for the cadets. To the boy of athletic
tastes the practice in swimming. fenc-
ing and riding comes under that head.
There are officers hops twice a week,
which bring pretty girls from all along
the river. and graduation week is a
bright oasis in the year made gay by a
small army of sisters. aunts and cou-
sins who overflow the place.
One pleasant feature Of West Point
life is its democratic equality If a
man is a gentleman he stands as well
as any of his fellows. Each cadet r.
ccivcS $40 per year from the govern
ment. out of that he must buy his
clothing and rations from the commits
sary department.. He is allowed to re-
ceve money from outside only in eX-
ceptonal cases. There can be no diff
ference in dress or style of living, and
this spirit of equality enforced by the
rules is accepted by all the men.
West Point is ne place for a young
man who has not natural aptitude
for a military career. TO others the
stern requirements of the studies, the
strict discipline which never relaXeS,
will become unbearable, and the pile of
dement's that he can pick up for ''gaz-
ing about in ranks, having an 'odol
of cigarettes in his room or appear
ing on parade with soiled gloves will
soon send him back home. Nearly half
of those who enter the academy fall
for one reason or another to complete
the course.
West Point is q place where manly
men are made, and the only material
for that purpose is found in manly
boys Uncle Sam has no use for any
other kind.--Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.

The Day Growing Longer.

One of the most interesting subjects
discussed by Professor George DARWIN
during his recent visit to this country
was that of the possible and probable in
crease in the length of the day. When
once the earth is in motion about an AK
is. no matter how the motion came about,
it would continue forever. and at the
same rate, thus making the day always
of the same length, unless something is
happening or will happen to Interfere
with that motion. Now, there are sew
eral causes in operation which affect the
period of the earth's rotation. some of
which tend to make the period less and
others to make it greater. Fortunately,
the influence of each of the causes is very
small They are generally easy to under
stand and a simple experiment. will illus
