crs' club in the studio in the Metropolitan
building this afternoon, and the members
of the club dropped In during the after
noon to chat over a cup of tea. The: at
fair was very simply arranged and cat

decoration. The teachers were divided
into two groups, one looking after the
comfort of their guests. in the early part
of the afternoon and the other taking the
later hours. These informal teas are a
pleasant feature of the week for the mem
bers Of the club and they run in while
shopping or after the matinee for a few
moments Of sociability. Next Saturday
the teachers Of the Central high school
will have charge of the arrangements.

TO MEASURE A V &
Get Angle with Your Hat Then Pace
on the Distance.

Get angle with Your Hat Then Pace
on the Distance.
To measure the width Of any ordi-
nary stream, or even of a good-sized
river, it is necessary to make use Of
only your eyes and the brim of your
hat. That seems queer, doesn't it2
But it's true, and here is the way to
do it.
Select a part of the river bank
where the ground runs back level,
and, standing at the waters edge, fix
your eyes on the opposite bank. Now
move your hat down over your brow
until the edge Of the brim is exactly
on a line with the water-line on the
other side.
This will give you a visual angle
that may be used on any level surface,
and if, as has been suggested, the
ground on ysur side of the river be
fiat, you may Gay off" a correspond
ing distance on it. To do this, you
have only to hold your head perfectly
steady, after getting the angle with
your hat brim, supporting your chin
with your hand, Unnecessary, and turn
slowly around until your back is to-
ward the river.
Now, take careful note of where
your hat brim cuts the level surface of
the ground as you look out over the
latter, and from where you stand to
that point will be the width of the
rivera distance that may readily be
measured by stepping. If you are
careful in all these details you can
come within a few feet Of the rivers
width.-London Answers.

CONCERNING OLIVE OIL.
Our Consul at Marseilles Gives Interesting
information.

Our consul at Marseilles, in answer
to a question asked by a man from In
diana, says the Indianapolis News,
sets out some interesting facts con-
corning olive oil. The Indiana man
i1closed a label that he had removed
from a bottle of imported French
olive oil. He wrote that, the weather
being very cold, the oil had frozen
about one-tenth of it appeared to be
olive oil, while the rest appeared to be
CONCEALED cottonseed oil. The consul
says from his knowledge Of the firm
that the label represents, he is sure the.
bottle contained what it was said to
contain-namely, Superior virgin
olive oil, guaranteed quality" That
it CONCEALED, he says, was probably
due to the fact that it was what is
known as tender oil, which in cold
weather congeals rapidly, whereas a
hard olive oil is especially calculated
to resist climatic changes. OF the
subject generally, the consul says that
consumers Of the United States
are not always familiar with the del
icate nature Of olive oil and fail to re-
alize that, unlike wine, which i'm
proves with age, it begins to deterio-
rate from the moment of manufac-
ture. Moreover, there is great differ
ence in the quality of crops Of differ
ent years, and when the crop is bad,
rancidity and congelation can hardly
be prevented after the oil is a year old.
There is also a wide variation in the
flavor Of olive oil. Moreover, good
olive oil will easily become rancid in
half the time that cottonseed oil will
be affected. Besides, dealers in the
United States very seldom understand
that olive oil should be kept in a cool.
dark place and in an even temperature.
Our sardines, he says, are most fire.
quently packed in other vegetable
oils than olive oil, and the reason
French sardines have the fine Aayori is
that they are packed in olive oil. The
consul thinks that popular knowledge
with reference to olive oil may result
in the American consumer getting it
in better condition.

LOST AND FOUND.
No Law on the Subject in the District
Of Columbia.

No Law on the Subject in the District
Of Columbia.
The law in relation to things lost
and found is not touched upon in the
new revision or codifcation Of the
laws for the district" explained a
leading lawyer to a Washington Star
reporter, $50 such matters, l suppose,
will have to be disposed of as for
merly by common law or common
practice. If England and its posses
sions everything hat is found on the
highwas belongs to the crown in the
absence Of any other owner, andthose
who keep things they find for their
own use without effort to ascertain the
owner can be convicted the same as
if they stole them, for they commit a
crime. Holding them is illegal pos
session, and selling them is the same
as selling stolen goods, for no title
goes with the sale. In Germany and
other countries the same holds good.
In Germany, however, as in France,
the finder Of anything lost is entitled
to a commission Of a certain per cent.
on its value, whether the loser is will
ing to pay the same or not, provided
the finder complies with the law,
which is that as soon as he finds any
thing he reports the same to the near
est magistrate or official Of similar
rank. If in a certain time the owner
does not turn up the thing found goes
to the finder, minus a commission to
the government. Keeping a find Sc
cret is held to be a crime. There is
no law in this district on the subject,
though practice obtains which is just
as good as law. / am very clear
that anyone has a good title to any
md after a reasonable time, provided
he has advertised it in a newspaper
of general circulation and no owner
turns up to claim it. Givingnotice Of
a find to the police may be regarded as
an advertisement, but the actual pub
lie advertisement is much safer to the
finder, proyided he wants an undis-
puted title SO that he can sell. This
holds good in the case Of an animal
found astraya as well. The finder is en-
titled to the expense Of advertisement
of a thing found or to the expense Of
feeding the animal in addition there
to, but he cannot legally compel the
loser to pay more. 1t is rare that a
reward Of some kind is not made, but
no one has any legal right to reward
under any law now in existence in
this district. Iii is the practice, how
ever, and assuch may be maintained in
a court, to the extent Of reimburse
ment, but only to that extent"

FREAK OF LAW OF GRAVITY.
Curious Detection OF the Plumb Line IN
Central India.

A paperby Maj. Burrow, R.. E., read
at the meeting Of the Royal Astro-
nomical society, discussed a curious
fact ascertained by the application of
scientific methods of measurement to
the survey Of India, namely, that the
nOrtherly DETECTION of the plumb line
ascribed to its attraction by the great
mass of the Himalaya and the Tibe-
tan upland, is reversed along a COM
paratively narrow belt between 20 de-
grees and "A degrees north latitude,
crossing India from east to west for
1000 miles. Here the detection is
southerly, while the northerly defec-
ton reasserts itself farther south, and
is continued as far as 10 degrees north
latitude. The zone, so strangely ex-
empted from what has been supposed
to be a general law, runs across central
India from the Delta Of the Ganges
to that of the Indus, but well to the
south of the great Gangetic plain.
Maj. Burrows theory is that it fol-
lows the axis of what he calls a subter-
ranean chain of mountains, causing
the greaterdensity Of the earth's crust
in this particular range. The hypo-
thetical range would, we are liberty
to conjecture, either have foundered
bodily in some great catastrophe or
subsidized gradually and been sub
merged under alluvium and silt, The
fact opens up an interesting subject
forthe discussion Of biologists .-Tab-
