Simple Experiment to Prove Earth Round


Although 1t was demonstrated more
than POGO years ago that the earth ia

sons who maintain that 1t Is fat.
About thirty years ago controversy
on the subject waxed so hot that it
was determined to put the matter to
direct experiment I'm order 10 settle the
question once for ALL
The place chosen was near Bedford
England. where there is n straight six
mile stretch of wafer. At both ends
ana in the middle OF this water posts
were erected, each OF the same definite
height above the water level. UDon
looking with telescope along the tops
or these three posts it was clearly
seen that the centre one oyertopppu
the others by about six feet. owing TO
the curvature OF the surface OF the

TO MINIMIZE FOREST FIRES.
New Devices For Suppression OF Smoke
and Spark Nuisance.

Among the numerous causes Of for
est fires probably the most prolific
means OF all Is the shower OF sparks
which are thrown high in the air from
locomotives. Various remedies for this
danger have been suggested. Legal
pressure has brought into the field nu-
mer0us sparkarrcsters. notably In the
Adirondacks; but great damage was
done before these were finally put
into anything like general use. An
other arrestcr has recently been sug.
gcstcu. which is now I'm use on some OF
the Western railroads. although for u
different purpose. This device Is sim
pie In construction, inexpensive and
adaptable to any style OF locomotive.
1t consists chiefly OF specially con-
structeu hood, which Is extended above
the top Of the stack, ut the height OF
about two feet. and intcrfcrcs but lit

rns MopERN GENTLEMAN;


ne -ss, After ALI Not Modern, But Has,
Always Existed.
In some OF our earliest Immigration
records the more favored arrivals
were designated as gentlemen" For
instance. one cargo Of colonlsts com.
prlsed score Of gentlemen" nnd
several hundred laboring men and
handicraftsmen. 1t is true that bis
torians have added a descriptive word
to the selected class and called them
gentlemen Adventures" but the
idea of superiority still endures; and
In this age of genealogical resrnrch a
familiar tragedy Is the experience OF
n proud son or naughty dame going
back through the centuries and strlk-
Ing as lineai ancestor plain handf-
craftsman instead OF duly authenti-
| Gated gentleman" There Is no cover
for that kind Of disappointment ex-.
cept coat OF Grms--which need not
be historical ff It be safe.
In these days the designation Of
gentleman" is formally used in Great
Britain, but in America there has
been n gradual disappearance OF its
ancient employment. The other day
the scion of family that had won
wealth and kept 1t was on the witness
stand. He gave his occupation as
| gentleman" 1t was understood. OF
! course, but the attorney for the other
side was no respcc.er Of terms or OF
persons. He asked bluntly what tho
witness meant by gentleman" There
was an awkward quarter OF an hour
and In the end the witness, by that
time red with discontinue, declared
that gentle man was n person OF
education who did not have to work
for a living.
Nothing kills so swiftly as ridicule
or absurdity. This accounts for the
gradual elimination OF gentleman"
as n definition for directories or off,
clal certificates. And-shall we call
! 1t the sarcasm Of fate?-the word that
takes the place Of gentleman" in
these practical but unromantlc chron-
icles is Capitalist"
| But while we smile let us remember
that we have not removed the gentle
man from our social category. Rather
have we given 20 the word n better
significance. We can even surmise
that there were more real gentlemen
among the hanoi aftsmen than
among the favored twenty who alone
bore the appellation. Certainly history
has shown who became the freemen
and who did the great work Of liberty
and nation building.
After all. there is really no new
idea Of the gentleman. 1t is as an
cient as the hills. Though all the
honors OF thy line bedeck thy halls,

Pet Bear Joined in the Ceremony.

but because he turned solemn cere-

friends INDUCED in a nap. Bruinski
stretched himself out on the deck, and
his chums spread themselves around
him. using him as n pillow. Just otter
Captain Wilde came to take command
OF the yard he sent word that he was
going to visit the ship at q certain
hour.
The men were mustered as quickly
as possible. to receive him with nll the
honors. Bruirskl's friends with the
others responded to the bo's'n's call.
but Brulnski slumbered or. until after
the men were all lined up on deck.
Then he reused. and. missing his
friends. went to seek them. He mount
ed to the Geek where the men were
lined up and, erect on his hind feet,
passed slowly down the long line until
he came to the group OF his associa tes.
Then he turned. and. backing slowly.
wedged himself into the line. His SOL
emn visage and rendulous paws were
too much for the comman ndant as well
as the other officers. The ceremony
was cat short and BruinsEi hustled be-
low. The captain Of the ship thought
the presence Of the bear could DC dis

given permanent shore leave.-PhI!a.
