TO PROVE EARTH ROUND.
Simple Experiment That Was Tried in England Thirty Years
 Ago.
company

Although it was demonstrated more than 2,000 years ago that the earth is globular in form, there are certain persons who maintain that it is fiat. About 30 years ago con- troversy on the subject waxed so hot that it was determined to put the matter to direct experiment in order to settle the question once for all, says the Philadelphia Record.
 The place chosen was near Bed ford, England, where there IS a straight six mile stretch of water. At both ends and in the middle of this water posts were erected, each of the same definite height above the water level. Upon look ing with a telescope along the top of these three posts it was clearly seen that the center one over topped the others by about six feet, owing to the curvature of the surface of the earth.
 These experiments were recent ly repeated in a more sclentllc manner by H. Yule Oldha m, who read a naper on the subject before the Glasgow meeting of the Brit ish association. The same re- suits were obtained, with the inn portant difference that by the em- ployment of a tele-photographic lens and camera the six foot prom thence of the middle post was re- corded in an unmistakable man. ner. -=z=--.-.----==-,

 Where brave men live,
 Where brave men die, where content dwells in every eye,
 That's old Arkansaw. Now, just watch us at the Fair, For we'll surely all be there, And we always get our share,
 Men may come,
 And men may go, But we intend to see the show;
 That's old Arkansaw. Now'S the time to take peep, Across the dark and briny deep, And show the nations what we keep Lead and zinc
 And brilliant pearls, And lots and lots of pretty girls
 That's old Arkansaw. If you'd see a thing that's great, Catch glimpse of our great state, For We never stand and wait.

 Turn up their nose, Bat we're state till, the great horn blows,
