WHAT A DAY MEANS.
Ii IL the Interval Between Two Sue
cessive Passages OF the Sun
Across the Meridian.

Nine persons out of ten-yes, nine
hundred and ninety-nine cut of every
thousand-if asked how long it takes
answered. hours: ard to the question:
How many times does it turn on its axis
in the course of the year. the answer
would be 365H times
Both answers are wrong. 1t requires
but % hours and Sc minutes for the
earth to make one complete turn, and il
makes 36eA turns during the year.
The error springs from a wrong idea
Of what is meant by day. The day is
not. as is commonly supposed, the time
required by the earth to make one turn
on its axis, but The interval between the
two successive passages of the sun
across the meridian; that is to say, the
time which elapses after the sun Is seen
exactly south. in its diurnal course
through the heavens, before It is again
seen in that position.
Now. In consequence Of the earth's
revolution in its orbit, or path round
the sun. the sun has the appearance OF
moving very slowly in the heavens in
a direction from east to west. At moor
tomorrow the sun will be short dis
tance TO the east of the point In the
heavens al which it Is seen at noon to-
dag, so that when the earth has made
one complete turn 1t will still have to
turn four minutes longer before the sun
can again be seen exactly south.-Gold-

DOG WITH WOODEN LEG.
He Lives I'm Los Angeles, CAL, and
Makes Parachute Jumps for
HIS Masters Benefit.

There is just one dog in the world
that has a wooden leg, and he lives in
Los Angeles, Cal. He is owned by Will
liam Hawkins, an aeronaut, and, be-
sides being the wearer of an artificial
limb, is quite parachute jumper. Mr..
Hawkins has on several occasions taken
Jack up with him in his balloon, and,
when at q considerable distance from
the earth, cut the dog loose, stiIl at
tached to the parachute, of course, and
he has gently descended to mother
earth.
All of Jacks aerial adventures have
proved successful, as he has landed in
every instance without accident, and
seems to have enjoyed himself i'm
mensely. He is little brown, curly
dog, resembling water spaniel more
than anything else. The man who made
Jacks wooden leg is George r. E. Mill
gan. of Los Angeles, and he tells this
story about it:
Jack was run over by a street car,
which cut off one of his front legs. His
master was passing by my place of bust
ness, saw wooden legs displayed in the
window and Immediately thought Of
Jack. He asked if it was possible for
me to fit Jack up with new limb. !
told him that making artificial limbs
for the lower animals had never occu-
pied my attention before. but that if
he would, give Jack over to my care
" lid do the best l could for him.
Jacks measure was taken, and in the
course of time the limb was finished
and Jack requested to come and try on
the new member.
ITO say the dog was pleased is put
ting it mildly, for he seemed to know
what we were trying to do for him. He
jumped around and barked in manner
that seemed to say: 4. am satisfied.
At FIST Jack did not know how to use
his new limb, but by degrees he learned
to use it quite we'll, and attracted the
wonder and admiration of all who came
in contact with Hmm. Y. Herald.

Avery curious creature is the surgical
ant of Brazil. The New York
World has lately given an account of its
uses, and asserts that the native Bra
lillian, far removed as he usually is
from doctors and surgeons, depends
upon little ant to sew up his wounds
when he is slashed or scratched. Truth
to tell, the average surgeon could do
the job no better than these little in
sects.
The ant has two strong nippers on
his head. They are his weapons for
battleaor forage.
