A Very Old Rule.

world is believed to be the "Papyrus
Rhind'' in the British museum. pro-

a scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the. pc
riod between 1000 and 100 B.. 9. This
"Papyrus Rhind''. was translated by
Eisenlohr Of Leipsic, and it was, found
to contain a rule for making a square
equal in area to a given circle. 1t was
not put forth as an original discovery,
but as the transcript of treatise 500
years older still, which sends US back
to, approximately, $500 B. c., when
Egyptian mathematician solved, or

MAIL CARRIERS CAR FARE.
Companies Are Paid q Lump Sum b
the Government.

Companies Are Paid a Lump Sum by
the Government. .
'fMost people who spend $25 year
for car fare consider that they are con-
,tributing literally toward the dividends
Of the company" remarked a postal
clerk. ''but Uncle Sam spends nearly
$25O,0O0 a year, for the transportation
of carriers in street cars in the different
free delivery cities. q
! For instance, including substitutes
there are 2l5 carriers in Washington.
You may have observed that carriers,
when riding on the surface roads, do
not pay fares either with tickets or in
cash. The free delivery system allots
the. Washington city postofice an an
nuaI allowance Of 1000 to be used sex-
clusively for the car fare Of letter carr
riers. The postmaster is authorized to
make contract with the companies to
transport all carriers while on duty for
a lump sum, which he does. The car
rier must have his pouch with him.
which is sign manual to the conduct
or that he is on duty, the mere wear
ing of his uniform being insufficient.
"This rule obtains in some cities,
while in others special tickets are sold
at special rates to be used only by car
riers, or the cash is handed direct to
the carrier for a certain number of
daily trips. depending upon the prac-
tice Thus, while Washington receives
$4,000, Chicago gets $4,000 for letter
carriers car fare because of, its. large
territorial extent and distance between
stations on the prairie, oftentimes ne
cessitating a double fare by the car
rier. Boston is allowed $13,5OO and
New York and Philadelphia about $1O,-
600 each. Few people know that the
government expends such large sum
yearly for such a trivial cause."-

ever made about himself. He spoke in
voice that had the timbre of youth,
but with amazingly good, idiomatic En-
glish-fOr he has lived in England
many years, and there has made ali his
preliminary experiments.
Five years ago, he said, wireless tel
egraphy worked at a distance of two
miles. Two years ago he sent MESA ges
200 miles. A few days ago he propelled
his vibrations of the air 1000 miles
from St Johns to England Seventy
ships were using his system; forty in
the British navy, twelve in the Italian
navy and the rest in the vessels of
transatlantic lines like the Cunard,
the Beaver" and others.
1t was true that the messages sent
to and from these vessels could be read
by any one who caught them in transit
in the air, but it was not the intention
or desire that this should be changed,
as il was better that communication
with ships be in that degree public. But
with regard to the commercial value of
the system it had been truly urged that
this was Of slight account until privacy
or a monopoly of the legibility of mes
sages by the persons to whom they
were sent could be procured. He as
sured his hearers that the means of do
ing this had been discovered and made
practical so that he was certain that
his system had a commercial future.
In fact, he predicted that it would
greatly cheaper lOng-distance telegra-
ply. and put it within the uses of those
who cannot afford to use telegraphy by
cable.
He closed by acknowledging his in
debtedness to Others who had worked
before him, and named half a dozen
scientists like Herr, Lord Kelvin, Pro
fessor Henry and Alexander Graham
Bell, upon whose discoveries he had
built his own. Never can there be a
more frank, ingenious. modest and ad-
mirable acknowledgment than Marconl
made in this ending of his speech.
Professor Elihu Thompson told the
company that Marconi had all along
worked in a scientific manner, upon
true scientific grounds. and added that
in private talks the young Italian had
predicted much greater possibilities, al
most certainties, for his system than he
had cared to declare in public

The family Of the dead girl. the police
and others didn't know it. but the blood
hound was going over the ground, step
by step, that Nell Cropsey had gone over
the night she went TO her death.
Two hundred yards from the CTopsey
house and fifty feet from the marine rail-
way, on the river side of the road, the dog
turned diagonally TO the right, passing
over mixture of dirt shavings and saw

the ways of the marine railway.
The dog walked very slowly down the
pier Nobody said word to him. He
kept on, his nose trailing the boards I'M

Then came an intensely dramatic scene.
Slowly the dog drew his hind legs up as
close TO the edge of the pier as he could
without losing his balance. Inch by inch
he let his forepaws over the edge, dig
ging them into the wood to brace him
self He thrust his nose down along the
outer end of the pier as far as he could
reach, and for nearly minute hung halt
on the pier and half down over the water.
he was showing the crowd that Nell
CropSey had. dropped or been dropped
from the end of pier. that her clothing
mad brushed the outer end as she went
INTO the PaSquotank river.
Hurricane Branch was the only man
who believed the dog had shown what
had become of the girl. The family re-
called the fact that Nell had often
walked down 10 the pier, and few days
before her disappearance had been one
OF a sailing party that had embarked
from that spot.
Jim Wilcox, her sweetheart. was en-
ployed at the marine railway to run the
engine that hauled vessels up on the
ways, and Nell had often walked down
to chat with him.
The dog was called back to the Crop
sey house. He had not taken up the
trail from the front porch. but from the
path just inside the front gate.
He was taken on the front porch, but
could find no trail leading down the
steps. All the trails led him inside the
house. Nothing led him from the porch

WALKED ABOUND THE WORLD
Interview With Nan Who Has Just
Completed TIE Long Trip.

completed Ice Long Tip.
Beresford Greathead, who has ar
rived at Southampton, England. has
just concluded a remarkable journey.
Questioned recently by a correspondent
he said that in 1895 two clubs in Van
couver-the Union and the Vancouver
-wagered $4,000 on the point whether
a man would walk round the world in
five years. leaving without any luggage
or money and depending entirely upon
his own exertions. Four men were
found willing TO enter upon the task.
Beresford Greathead. who was select
ed, said that he started in August. 1895
The Allan line gave him passage to
England. He walked from Liverpool
to London, thence to John o. Greats,
and from there to Lands End. BY
way Of the south coast he reached
London again, and went over to Os-
tend. He passed through Bruges,
where he was formerly at school. and
met some of his old school chums Then
Mr. Greathead visited Holland, Switz-
erland, Italy, Austria and ROumania
He passed through Odessa, and event
ually arrived in Manchuria. When he
got there the war was on. He was TAX
en- prisoner and detained for two
months, when he escaped.
Mr.. Greathead's intention had been
to go on to VladivOstOck, thence to
Japan and back to Vancouver, but
owing to the Chinese trouble he had to
retrace his steps. He came on to
southampton from Havre- on Saturday.
He explains that he was arrested as a
spy many times, and had to go into
the hospital once. which circumstances,
added to the Imprisonment in Man
churia. make up a total of unavoidable
detentions for which he claims to re-
ceive credit. He contends that if he
is given credit accordingly he has won
the wager. Mr.. Greathead has lectured
in many towns which he visited, and
so obtained money for food and clothes,
but for the most part he has had to
rely on the good nature of those among
whom he has Travelled.
Asked if he could produce signed
testimony of having visited the cOun-
tries named, Mr.. Greathead said that
the books had to be collected. He had
left some at different stages of the
journey. This remarkable globe trot-
ter, says the London Chronicle, gives
his age as SO, and says he is native of
Hampshire.
