''The mortality resulting from such
'forlorn hopes greatly helps to account
for the difference in the number Of

A Model Surveyor,

The Kingman LeaderCourier tells of
an early day county surveyorSn King

used them if he had. His method of
measuring land was to tie his ankles
together with q cord that was just
fong enough to allow him to step one
fifth of a rod each time, and thus hob.
bled he would strike out, counting his
steps until he had made a sufficient
number to cover the desired distance.
The cord or string used by him Ia
fastening his legs together, says the
Leader-Courier, was made OF raw.

through the grass of a morning when
the dew was on it would become wet
and stretch nearly a foot. and so his
steps were much longer OF a morning
than they were of an evening after the
sun had dried the whang leather and
shortened it. Consequently the man
having his land surveyed in the morn

quarter section than his neighbor who
had his work done in the afternoon
These old surveys and corners then es-
tablished cause annoyance even to this

NOVEL IDEA IN CHESS.

Living Game Planned ON Gigantic
Scale For Delhi Durbar.
Living games of chess are not new,
but that form of the entertainment
which has been half seriously, half jok-
ipgly, suggested as one for the Delhi
durbar is decided novelty, says a
cable dispatch from London to the New
York American and Journal. The idea
Is said to have been suggested by q
noted Indian chess player named Khur-
sedjee Sorabjee Jussawalla, but the
scheme is so ambitious that Lord Cur
Eon hesitates about giving it his official
sanction.
1t is suggested that each square of
the ''chessboard' should be of super.
dcies of twenty feet, that the players
should be clad in glittering silver and
gold dresses, that a band should play
during the performance and 101 guns
be kept in readiness to be fired singly
at every "check" and all together al
"checkmate."
Spare elephants and camels, all
trained, are to be kept in readiness To
replace any who get into difficulties
during the game, and the kings are to
drive motors. The "chessboard' will
be 25,600 feet square
