to measure the height of a cliff, a
church steeple, or some other tall oh.

fore no shadow is cast. The walking
stick will none the less assist you to
tell It's height. This time take a dis
lance some 100 feet from the object
which you wish TO measure, and In the
ground at that point firmly plant your
stick. Then move along from 1t In a
straight line until by lying down on
mother earth the top Of your stick and
the top OF the object TO be measured
will TO your eye be on line. This spot
you will mark, This gives you three
polnts-one, where you lay down. two,
your planted stick, and three, the oh
ject to be measured. Now, the distance
from the point where you lay down to
the stick Is TO the distance from the
stick to the object TO be measured as

of that object. Thus, suppose the point
where you lay down is six yards from
the stick and thirty-slx yards from the
object, then the object is six times the
height of the stick. Now, the stick yo1
know to be three feet high, the object
measured is therefore approximately
eighteen feet.
1t is fairly easy thing to obtain the
measurement OF an object If you but
have a rule or compass. The trouble
Is that usually when one wishes to
judge a distance a standard to go oy
is sadly lacking. There are, however,
ready substitutes If you but know how
to use them. II the sun be shining you

do fanehers aud farmers, can general
ly tell time fairly accurately by the
sun. and some, although the feat II
seemingly more difficult, can tell time
from the length of the shadow thrown
by the sun. The shadow IS, however,
an easy way of determining heights
For example, suppose you wished to
ascertain the height Of a tree when
walking. Pace the shadow of the tree
made by the sun and then plant your
walking stick and pace It's shadow A
many more or less times its length as
the shadow is will give you the dis
lance of shadow thrown by the Sun.
For instance. suppose the shadow 10

then 1t is nine feet, for the stick IA
three. and If you then divide your

actual height of the tree.-New York

fuse a decree for a divorce. When the
divorce proceedings came up for trial

took the case himself, He asked few
questions and read numerous letters
written by the parties to each other.
Then he said to the litigants:

of the beligerent husband and wife was
