The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1900-01-10

Surprising a woodchopper in the
Maine forest Is told to get out a mast
for a yacht. He knows that he must
find a tree which is straight for 60
feet below the branches. 1t would be
very troublesome to climb trees and
measure them with a tape measure,
so he, without knowing it, uses prac-
teal trigonometry. He measures of
60 feet in a straight line from the tree,
and then he cuts pole, which, when
upright in the ground, is exactly as tall
as himself. This he plants in the
earth his own length from the end Of
his 90 feet.
For example, If he is six feet tall, he
plants his six foot pole "a feet from
the tree. Then he lies down on his
back, with his head at the end Of the
line and his feet touching the pole,
and sights over the top of 1t. He
knows that where his eyes touch the
tree is almost exactly 60 feet from
the ground.-Weekly Bouquet.

The BALLOON in War.

The position that balloon must
occupy to insure the complete safety OF
its staff has been quite accurately de-
termined by experiments. 1t is evident
that there are two factors--elevation
and distance. In round numbers 1t may
be said that a balloon Is absolutely
safe at distance of four miles and at
height of 1900 feet. With every mile
that the balloon is bro6ght nearer to
the enemy's batteries ii is necessary to
materially increase the height OF the
balloon. English artillerists fired with.
out effect IL rounds of shrapnel at u
balloon distant about 300 yards and
at height constantly varying from
1.200 to 1900 feet. Under wind con.
aitions favorable to the gun, it required

is the pride, the old-fashioned en-
broidered under-sleeves are copied, and
in such numbers as to indicate that
the fashion in another six or II
months will be universal. Some clever
women find that these collars can be
made out of fine embroidered linen
handkerchiefs that have the scalloped
edges. or are finished with fine hem
stitching and some embroidery in the
corner. No economy is secured in
making the collars out Of these hand
kerohiefs, for they are always expensive,
but as fashion insists now upon the

As a rule it is much better to sip
water than to swallow a glassful at one
draught. The exception to this rule is
in the morning, when one should drink
alassful or two OF moderately cold
water in order to flush the stomach
while it is tubular. At other tImes,
however, slipping the water is much
more stimulating in its effect on the
circulation. During the action Of
SLIPPING the nerve action, which slows
the beating of the feart, is temporarily
abolished, and in consequence the heart
contracts much more quickly and the
circulation in various parts of the body
is increased. Another advantage il
slipping is the fact that the pressure
under which the bile is secreted is con.
siderably raised. 1t has been stated on
good authority that glass of cold
water slowly slipped will produce a
greater acceleration of the pulse for
time than will a glass of wine or spirits
taken at a draueht. Slipping cold
water will, in fact, often allay the
craving for alcoholic drinls-a point
worth remembering by those who are
endeavoring to reform. Ladies' Home
