THE PRINCESS AND THE pwARFs

All day the Princess Caterina spun and
spun. All day the hum of the wheel filed
the tower room. The tapestries rustied in
the breeze, the eat on the hearth stretch
ed and purred but still the princess
twiried her spindle.
May it please Your Highness TO listen

constantly did she spin that the whir OF

princess said 20 her nurse, who was the
mother of my grand mother, 'Hark Hear

princess, head in hand, unused until the
shadows fell.

LAMENT TEARING DOWN
OF OLD MEETING HOUSE
New Enslanders Regret Destruction of
Churches of Their Grandfathers.

The New England newspapers are
lamenting the gradual disappearance
of the old white meeting houses that
were once the distinguishing feature
of the towns and villages of that re-
gion. They are being torn down and
replaced by more modern structures,
built after some gothic design or may
be patterned after some early English
model.
But with all the ambitious features
of the latter they awaken none of the
thought and sentiment that the old
white meeting house with it's spire ris-
ing from grove of trees created.
This is true not only of New Eng
land, but of the rest of the country as
well. The old church buildings are
rapidly disappearing from the land
scape.
1t is true that many Of them were
unsuccessful efforts at architecture.
They often justified the criticism of
the Irishman who said of American
church architects that: "They puts up
front to the street like ould West
minister Abbey, but thin they thinks to
chate the Lord and makes the back
part shabby"
And the railroads and new turn
pixies have brought many of these
backs" into greater prominence than
the fronts, to the modification of a
later generation. But there are some
of these old white church buildings
still standing as mementoes to the
happy choice of an architect or to the
fact that there was at least one man
with taste and culture on the building
committee.
These should be preserved as long as
possible as examples of the heroic age
In American architecture One fine
specimen in this line seems destined
to round out it's two centuries of ex-
istence. 1t is the old First Baptist
church in Providence, r. l., which can
count now its 125 years.
It's white spire is said to be most
successful copy of one of Sir Christie
pher Wren's creations in London. Its
destruction would remove the most
marked architectural feature of Provi-
dence.
Northampton, Mass, lost its old
white meeting house, and the Gazette
OF that place says: THE destruction
of the old church in northampton, the
old white meeting house that linked
the present with the past as no other
object did or could, was a loss that
never can be replaced. Time will go
on, and other structures, modern in
style and color, may give place to the
old-fashioned white meeting house,
but they never can fill their places as
landmarks or as objects of beauty to
the landscape
The Old South church in Boston is
another example, and its unpretentious
front with its chaste spire will excite
more admiration than the tawdry
structure on the Back Bay to which
| its congregation emigrated.

delphia church architecture We're once

south as the northern portion of the CEN
tral gulf states, the damage has not been
serious except in the extreme western
portions of Kansas and Nebraska, the
Dakotas, Minnesota. Wisconsin and New
England. The heavy rains of the previous
week over the northern portions of the
Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys
delayed threshing of spring wheat and
caused grain in shock to Sprout Drought

coast states have experienced a very fav-
orable week.
Notwithstanding the occurrence of light
to heavy frosts generally throughout the
corn belt, the corn crop has escaped in
jury except In the western portions of
Kansas and Nebraska and in the Dako-
taS, Minnesota and Wisconsin. While
low temperatures have prevented rapid
ripening, especially over the western dis
tricts. the crop as a whole has advanced
now safe, but the bulk of the unmatured
will require from one to two weeks of
favorable weather.
The weather has been favorable for the
completion of spring wheat harvest on the
North Pacific coast. In the Dakotas and
Minnesota spring wheat in shock has been
injured and threshing delayed by wet
weather.
The reports continue to indicate extern
sive prevalence of blight and decay in

Flowing and seeding have advanced
satisfactorily except in the Ohio valley and
Tennessee, where the soil has been too
dry, and in the northern portion of the

BEG pardon says the Captain.
Il hope 1 don't intrude,

He hit Bill Jones' optic
And soothingly he cooed.
Excuse me- sighed the Captain
And hit him on the ear;
Then kicked him in the trousers
I fam would have you steer
Nor cassidy nor he grabbed Bill
And threw him In the gear.
The Captain still was bowling,
His hand upon his vest
II ask a thousand pardons"-
And then he did his best
To tie Bill into bowknots
And knock him galleywest.

To jump into the wet
And Bill-he left his baggage,

SQUARES The CIRCLE.
Columbus Builder Claims to
Have Accomplished the Feat.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept 22.-J. H.
Evans, of 62k Spring street, believes
he has discovered a rule for Squaring a
circle mathematical accomplishment
that men have been trying to reach
since the history of the science of num-
bers began. He is not theoretical
mathematician, but a practical builder.
1am1llar only with geOmetrical rules
needed in his work. His attention was
called to the hitherto impossible prop
os1tion only recently, and he set about
deVising solution of it. The demon
stration which he has devised, and the
rule that he has evolved from it. he
has presented to Prof. r. D. Bohannan,
of the state university Prof. Rohan
nan was much interested in the propo-
sition presented by Mr.. Evans, and
said that while he would not say that 1t
was correct or incorrect, he would like
to see hypothetical demonstration
of it.
This Mr. Evans has arranged in
novel way, figuring out by his rule
and making square and a circle of
fine cardboard, supposed to be of equal
area and on weighing them on apothe-
cary scales they prove to be the same.
rms Is regarded as the best corrobo
fatlve test that could be applied.
MI. Evans approached the PROPOSE
tlon from novel direction He took
- 49, SOLSAuSldllOu what he calls the
gather in of volume of the circle over
that of square figure" the sum of
whose sides are equal to the circles
circumference. This he ascertains bv
inspection and establishes the rule that
dividing the diameter of any circle by
10 and multiplying the quotient by 14.2.
VIII give square whose area is ex
actly equal to that of the circle. He
taxes, Tor instance, circle of 5000 feet
diameter. Dividing by 16 gives 400
100. eiNeS
Mr.. Evans found by measurement
mat right angled triangle, having Is
inches for base and inches for aIti-
tude, has hypothenuse of 16% inches
From this he reasons thus: "The cube
root OF this, which is 142, is the one
side OF square the area of which is
equal to the area of a circle, the diam
eter of which is 16 inches The longest
side Of this triangle, which is 1853
inches, multiplied by 3, gives the exact
circumference of a circle, the diameter
of which is 16 inches; therefore to
square circle, giving its exact area in
the form of square, divide its diam
eter by 16 and multiply the quotient
by 14.2, and to get the exact circun1-
ference of a circle divide diameter nv
10 and multiply by 50A."
