RFAOs ATHous ND MILES.
Calculation Is Not for the Persistent
Reader, but the Man of Affairs.

The average busy man who declares
| that he has mo Tins for reading" will
be incredulous II he is told that in read.
ing alone his eyes travel, during his life
time, a distance OF 900 miles. which Is
equivalent TO making an ocular trip"
from London to Naples, says Tit-Bits.
A comparatively slow reader win scan
800 words q minute-that is he reads
about twice as fast as he talks. and ten
times as fast as he writes. AT this rate
of progression. allowing for diversity OF
| scpe, a man may be said to read ninety
tvs O yards OF type In half an hour As
;v,n the busiest man probably averages
Aa An hours reading a day, it is clear
that every year he must cover distance
of nineteen miles in reading, or the very
respectable journey of $50 miles In fifty
years.
This is an exceedingly low average, and
there are probably many men who cover
at least six tunes this distance; feat
almost equal to traverslng with the eyes
the whole of Europe, from Cape st. Vim.
cent TO the Ural mountains, and again
from North Cape to Cape Matapan-a
com bined journey of 8. 900 miles, or near
iy q quarter OF tne way arouDu tne edItn
at tie equator.
a statistician calculates that in read
ing all Zola's works the eyes travel a dis
lance of thirty miles, and that the ordi-
nary yellow backed novel contains from
IA mile to mile and half OF type:
while, according to his estimate. the av-
prage reader covers IA distance during his
lifetime of ., 500 miles. or nearly Elk
times the distance from Lands End TO
berwick on Tweed.
COlnpared with such wonderful feats
the Journeys even of the busiest pen seem
trivial and poor Incredible as 1t may
appear, there are many people who can
use pen with average skill and fiuenoy
whose writing during life time does not
exceed one or two miles. A good average
record for one who does not earn his liy-
ing by his pen would be ten miles for a
| life journey.
The professional writer naturally ac-
cemplish much bigger task than this.
| If he is fairly industrious he may pro-
duoe for the press $4,000 words year,
W hich could mean lineal journey for
his pen of three miles. If he can main
tain this rate of production for forty work
ing years his pen win have accomplished
a journey of l20 miles. or few miles
more than the distance from Charing
Cross to Birmingham, while his remuner
alton may be anything from 100 guineas
u mile upward.
There are, of course, many writers who.
in a long ana industrious life. far out
strip this record but probably no man
who has ever lived and written has driv-
en- his pen as far ms from Lizard Point
to the Grampians.

clares that he is satisfied that he was

herself the better boat, and that he Will

capacity of his boat Upton extended
her fin keel to twenty-five feet below
the water line. Thus giving his yacht
great water hold below, he was able
to stretch his spar 175 feet aloft. The
Columbia, however, has but nineteen
feet of fin keel. and spar hight consid-
erably less than In the case of the
Shamrock Upton made a mistake,
then, about the enormous leverage Of
his lower ballast, and concerning the
capacity of the Shamrock to carry
aloft. The result was his topmast went
by the board. AS the Record Union
has before pointed out, what happened
was to have been expected. 1t was
not therefore an accident. Nor does
Upton view it as other than failure
of judgment; therefore he frankly says
we had the better boat and that he was
fairly outsailed. Let those magnani-
nous people who are still so sympath-
etic for the Upton craft and its owner,
reserve their tears. He has no COM

services as the means by which the
Great Spirit forgives their trespasses
and their sins. and they are just as
sincere in their religion as the most
devout Christians. They sing and
dance, and we imagine their feasts
must be something like the services in
the days of David. when they sang and
danced to the Lord. They do not like
to be laughed at. They do not like to
have their pictures taken, and they re-
sent any attempt to do so by any Wis
itor. W
No drunkenness is allowed. Last

Some time ago 1t was justly COM
planned that If Aguinaldo read the Ma
Mia papers diligently he knew just
where our troops We're located; just
what movements We're in contempla-
ton: what were our military supplieS;
where they were stored and when they
were shipped into the interior, etc. This
was true. The Manila papers were
daily bulletins of oil military move
ments. The Government has now ap-
piled the rule OF censorship to such pa
pers, that the enemy may not in the
future learn of the disposition of our
forces on our military intentions gener-
ally. Here, then, there Is opportunity
for another howl about the liberty of
the press and the rights of newspaper
men. We can take a lesson in this
matter Of censorship from our English
consins. When they went to war with
the Beers the other day they at once
established the most arbitrary censor
ship over all publications, telegraphic
messages, correspondence, etc, that
would give publicity in any respect to
military movements. Ever the war
correspondents were sent to the rear
and told to cool their heels at conr:d-
cradle distance from the scenes Of OPP
erations. That this is right procedure
there can De no doubt whatever. That
Il is really merciful is undoy.pted also,
because it tends to shorten the war and
tnus lessen the loss Of life. Whereas if
movements were made public the en-
emy would have knowledge which
would be used to the disadvantage of
English arms. Thus the war would be
extended and the battles be all the
more bloody. We may expect, however,
that howl will go up from Manila
over the new order issued there But
1t is proper one and the sensible
American will not dispute its rightfrl-
ness.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC ExPAN
SIONIST.

United States Senator McLaurin OF
South Carolina, Democrat, has writ
ten letter favoring retention Of the
Philippines and this the Courier
Journal Of Louisville. Democratic
publishes with commendation.
The Senator says that he has honest
ly and diligently studied the whole
question and has come to his Judgment
slowly. He Is convinced that retention
of the Philippines puts the key of the
open door policy in our hands. The
800 miles Of the Philippine coast com.
mands the coast Of Asia. Manila is
in the east the center of ocean traffic
the only point where foreign nations
could have obtained commercial sta
tions without struggle.
He adds that commercial expansion
with preservation of trade advantages
is the goal of all civilized nations.
Providentially the Philippines have
