Earth Curvature and Vision.

One of the ''seven wonders Of the an
cient world" was the Pharos, or light
tower at Alexandria. If you have a
popular account of that great structure
handy, read it carefully and note that
you are Informed that the tower could
be seen at a distance Of from 100 to
100 miles. Let us see if this could pos
sibly be true. The curvature of the
globe Is 600 inches to the mile. This
being true, we find that an object 100
feet high can only be seen at a frac-
ton over thirteen miles. Figuring on
the basis of an earth curvature of even
seven inches to the mile, we find that
the light tower in question must have
been ove a mile In height if visible
eve at a distance of 100 miles.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.
Evident Attempt to Plumber the ruh

1vAueht Attcmpt 10 the Pub.
fishers.
The newspaper publishers, both DAT
~ and weekly, will have to keep busy
or they will suddenly discover that a
Republican congress and a Republican
president have changed the postal laws
so as to Increase the cost Of mailing
second class matter or so curtailel the
service as to interfere with the bust
ness Of distributing newspapers to the
public. That an organized attempt is
to be made to do this is patent frc,n
the recommendations in the reports Of
the assistant postmaster generals. The
claim is made that second class mat
ter costs more than the postage chang
ed produces, and therefore the rate
should be raised. But this has been
shown not to apply to the legitimate
newspapers, which in many cases are
carried by the railroads and express
companies on account of individual
publishers at rates as low as one-fourth
to one-half cent a pound for distances
within the average range Of circulation,
and this goes to prove pretty conclu-
slvely that the one cen a pound now
paid to the government is ample. II
the price paid the government for this
service does not cover the cost, the
fault must be with the service or its
failure to secure fair terms from the
railroads.
There has always been more or less
scandal about the government coa-
tracts with the railroads for carrying
the mail and of the efforts made by
the railroad agents to pad the weight
when the weighing time arrives for fix
ing the average weight carried. The
rent authorized by congress to be paid
for postal cars Is a perennial scandal,
and evidence Is not lacking of other
grating in this regard. The subsidy
paid for fast mail service on the South
ern railroad Is a clean steal, and I'M
fortunately Democratic congressman rs
we'll as Republicans are responsible for
1t. The Southern railroad is compelled
to make fast time to compete by the
southern route with its connections ut
New Orleans for the overland travel
and therefore must continue to run its
trains at the best speed that the condi-
ton of it's roadway will allow.
In spite Of all this evidence of collu-
sion between congress, the administra-
ton and the railroads, by which mil
lions a year are paid more than the
service Is worth and the express COM
panies pay for similar service, the at
tempt is to be made to increase the
cost to the newspaper publishers, who
are already paying a good, fair price.
See your congressman and don't let the
railroads and the politicians use you as
a cats paw to pull their chestnuts out
Of the fire.

honor of his 21st birthday. The
young mems and young women's
clubs of the Presbyterian church met
at the home of their pastor, Rev. D. J.
Becker, at 1880 o'clock and quietly
wended their way over the bridge to
Mr.. Cones residence. Irwin was
greatly surprised when he opened the
door to such host of friends, but not
so surprised as to forget to give each
a hearty welcome.
The young mans father presented
him with handsome watch. Frank
Kersey, with few appropriate re-
marks, presented him with beautiful
gold pin set with pearls, in behalf of
the young mems club, while Miss
Ruth VanOrsdel gave him two books
with the compliments of the young
women's club. A delicious lunch was
then served and a happy social hour
was enjoyed.
