Hoy 10 Grow short.


If you climb n mountain, your height
decreases by three-quarters of an inch,
and 1t may even diminish, exceptional
ly. by full inch.
This is a fact known to all expert
Cnced mountain and Alpine climbers.
On reaching the summit of the heights
that form the pleasure ascents of holt
day makers in the Alpine districts the
stature of the climber is found TO have
become less TO the extent already men
toned.
Doctors think that the attitude as
sumed of necessity in ascending is the
cause of this diminution. Some per-
sons believe that the pressure of the at
mosphere produces this shrinking. In
favor of the medical theory there is the
other unquestionable fact that the de-
crease of stature is greater in those
who carry a heavy pack during the
climb.
When the Alpinist has descended to
the ordinary level, his height begins to
increase, but the normal length of the
body is not attained until several hours
after reaching the regular surface of
the earth.

peared in an English sovereign's des-
ignation so long ago as the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. The poet Spenser
dedicated his "Faerie Queen" to Eliza
beth, and then he described her as
queen of England, France and Ireland
and sovereign of the Dominion of Vir-
ginia." 1t may also be remembered
that the Virginians refused to acknowl-
edge Oliver Cromwell's prOtectOrate I'M
til he sent a feet to compel them to
do so. Charles H., in return expression
of the colonists' loyalty, had himself
proclaimed in Virginia on his restora-

and Virginia" The further statement
has been made that Charles caused the
arms of Virginia to be Quartered with
those of England, Ireland and Scot

M'KINLEY POLICIES WILL CONTINUE.
THE PRESIDENT OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY
CONFIDENT OF THE FUTURE

Ithaca n. y Sept. 10 (SpeciaD.-Presldent Schur-
man of Cornell University in an interview concern
ing the results OF President Mc<inley's admnistra-
ton and the probability of the continuance of it's
policies said:
In the second term upon which he had just en-
tered he originated policies growing of the
Spanish war Porto Rico now enjoys free trade with
the United States; economic forces making
for the annexation OF Cuba; the Philippines
ioyinG all selfgoVcrnment. and ii Is safe to entrust
them with it. The President would have favored
progressive delegation home rule for the FiliPinos
and would have cultivated the frendliest relations
with Cuba. In both directions his policy likely
to have been continued. The President embTaced
policy Of enlarged commerce by means of reciprocity
treaties This policy encountered opposition in his
own party, but ne probably would have overcome
every obstacle The decision of the Republican
party this matter Is difficult foresee. European
nations come to realize that the United States
is new and great economic and political power
with which they viii have to reckon in all concerns
of the Pacific and the Orient. The existing ecOno-
mic and political forces likely to increase the
weight the United States in the councils of ma
