American scientific societies have ex-
pended half million dollars dur
ing the last fifty years trying to get
/ the exact dimensions of the earth And
| there are people in this country unreas-
enable enough to prefer having the half
million of dollars to knowing how big
around the earth is. These scientists

ameter through the equator is 1925 miles,
and its diameter from pole to pole 1889
miles. The fattening at the poles is
therefore 81 miles.

when one man killed the king of
Italy, the civilized world shuddered. But
now that Italian soldiers are arresting
! honest peasants and farmers by whole
sale, recklessly charging them with being
! accompliceS of a brigand, and are shoot
ing them at sight when they resist even
! to the extent of making a verbal protest,
| the civilized world is quite complacent
| 1t is not human life, after all, that civ
| ilization holds SO sacred, but that glamor
of divinity which doth hedge a king

The st. Paul Trade Journal gives list
of editors of trade papers who We're

on an office? He deserves a good one if
! he wants it.
Indian relics are now made to order.
| They are much nicer and better made
| than those a hundred or two years old
! BY a certain process an ancient appear
ance can be impaired to bones, earthen-
ware, arrow heads, etc.
An overhead bicycle path has bsen
constructed between Los Angeles and

The Belgian hare craze is subsiding in

An old Chinese saying defines national
prosperity thus: when the sword is
| rusty, the pillow bright, the prisons emp

temple worn down, and those of the law
| courts grass-grown, when doctors go
I afoot, the bakers on horseback, and tie
man Of letters drive in their own car
| riage, then the empire is we'll gov

| The Macon (Ga) Telegraph has this
breezy Democratic comment upon the
result of the election: 1.-The generally
accepted verdict is that Mr. Bryan is
completely discredited as a leader From
| one calamitous defeat he has led US to
another even greater. 1t would be in
| sane to think of the continued leader
| snip OF man who had once failed to
| carry his own precinct not to say the
| country. 1t is well enough to rass
around the usual kindly words heard at
| a funeral but it must and it will end
there. The fatal error Of COM
| hitting a great party TO a dogma OF
! finance discredited by all civilized peo-
pies was followed up by booting out men
| like Bayard, Carlisle, Wilson, Olnev
and Turner, and substituting Jones,
Stone. Altgeld, Weaver and Croker-aL

the necessity of a large military and
naval force is too apparent to admit of

| In opposition to American ideas; that the
adhesive principle comes from ethnologi-
cal homogeneity which induces men to re-
! spond for time to the appea s of consan-
guinous leadership, even when such ac-
ton is opposed to their own interest and
! convictions of eXpediency." All of which
| IS a pedanticaly obscure mode of ex-
/ planning that the FiIipinos are bound TO-
/ gether by ties of race against an alien in
| vader, and that they subordinate selfish
| interests to patriotic ideals Gen Mao
! Arthur makes this clear when he saws
| that the people seem to be actuated by
the idea that in all doubtful matters of
/ politics or war men are never nearer
/ right than when going with their own
! kith and kin, regardless of conse-
! quences. He reports the total casual
| ties to the Americans at 4,S16 since July

The good roads convention, now in ses-
sion in Chicago, faces the fact that our
