thOusandths of an inch in diameter and
seven one-thousandths of an inch In
length. 1t Is estimated that a lady's
thimble Of average size would hold

made to count these Tiny triumphs of

Without Counting.

Archbishop Temple was noted for
his mathematical ability. A peculiar
ity of his power, not in computation or
analysis, but in the ability to see a
definite number Of objects without ac-
tually counting them in the ordinary
sense, is mentioned In Mr.. Sanford S
memoirs Of the archbishop. Everybody
sees three objects, not as one and one
and One but as three. Most people
can see four; some see five and even
six. Many Of those who think they
simply see six would discover if they
observed the process carefully that they
really make a quick count. But DR..
Temple certainly saw higher numbers.
I tested him quite suddenly more than
once. How many sheep in that field?'
Instantly came the answer, Mine"
Once he saw thirteen l think these
were birds flying in a group. 1t was
the same process with him to see nine

was with me to see even five. Given

numbers

Football In Burma.

"Chinlon," the Burmese form Of foot
ball, is the national game. The name
means round basket" writes Mr.. KEEL
ly in his book on Burma, and the chin
Ion Is really a ball about six inches in
diameter formed Of plated rattans.
The game is played by several youths
or men, who stand in q circle a few
feet apart. The ball having been
thrown into play, the one nearest to
whom it falls kicks it up into the air
with the instep, knee or side Of the
foot. The effort is to keep it in the
air as long as possible and without
losing possession of the ball. A fancy
stroke Is to turn about face as the ball
falls and kick it with the sole of the
foot, although the elbows, head or any
part Of the body except hand and toes
may be used. While playing no one
leaves his place, but waits until the
ball falls within bis reach, when he in
turn endeavors to retain its possession.
1t is very pretty game to watch. and
the skill Of the performers Is often
surprising.

Cars For Man and Deast.

From Salzburg you so to Munich.
While travelling through the mountains
of Bavaria you drop suddenly from the
sublime to the ridiculous by catching
a glimpse of car bearing a label of
which this is the translation:
"For thirty-two men or six horses"
On inquiry you learn that the Bava-
rian railroads run fourth class cars, en-
which the very poor may travel for a
trifle or which may be used at the op-
ton Of the railroad to transport equine
freight. Later you have an opportu-
nifty to inspect some OF these fourth
class cars, and you find them to be
similar to our own freight cars, al
though much smaller. Plain wooden
benches form the seats. which may be
removed to accommodate the live stock.
Most of the European freight cars and
many of the passenger cars have only
four wheels and look like toy affairs
compared to our own.--Chicago Post.

PICTURE ON A HILL.


The Long Man Of Wilmington, Eng.
land, Measures 24O Feet.
About midway between Berwick and
Polegate stations, at point where the
side of the hill is very precipitous, those
who know exactly the spot where to
look will be able to see from the rail-
way carriage windows sort of rude
in white. The figure, which is between
200 and 300 feet in height, holds long
staff in each hand This is the Long
Man of Wilmington" once the center
of profound veneration and worship,
but now merely an object of interest to
the curious.
In order to obtain an adequate idea
Of this great hillside figure, dominating
the surrounding country and appearing
to watch as guardian over the little
village below, it is desirable to ap-
proach it afoot, tramping along the
winding lanes. as the pilgrims of old
must have tramped when they came
hither on the occasion of some great
religious festival Seen from afar, the
figure does not appear to be Of remark
able size, but gradually as one ap-
proaches the hill it assumes an impos-
ing and definite shape.
The figure, about 24O feet in height,
was merely shaped in the turf so as to
allow the chair to appear through. In
the course of time these depressions in
the surface became almost impercepti-
BILE, and to such an extent was the fig
ure neglected that at last it was only
possible to make out the form at a dis
lance when the slight hOllows were
marked by drifted snow or when the
oblique rays of the rising or setting sun
threw them into a deep shadow. In Or
der to preserve the form of the Long
Man, and to render it at the same time
easily distinguishable at distance the
outline was marked by single line of
white bricks placed closely together.
what startling figure, which is plainly
visible in fine weather from a great
distance
There are in different parts of the
country other examples Of extremely
rude and early hillside figures, and, al
though the very fact Of their great an
tiQuity renders it unlikely that histor-
ical or documentary evidence Will be
forthcoming as to their design or pre-
else purpose, it is very satisfactory to
find that D.. an explanation has been
found which will at once account for
many of their pecuHarities.
The theory is that these are sacri-
fetal figures. We learn from the writ
ings Of Caesar that the Gauls (and the
Britons were doubtless included) had
figures Of vast size, the limbs of which.
formed of osiers. they filed with hv-
ing men. The figure was ultimately
fired, and the miserable victims per
ished in the flames.
There Is local saying in Sussex.
probably Of great antiquity, in which
the Long Man is mentioned in refer
ence to the weather. 1t runs:

Aug. Is, 1903. The body consists of
officers detailed from the army at
large under such rules as may be pre-
scribed by the president. Its duties
are to prepare plans for national de-
tense and mobilization of troops in
time Of war. to investigate questions
relating to the efficiency Of the army
and Its preparedness for war and to
assist the secretary Of war and other
officers In performance of duty.
The general staff Is composed of one

from the army not below the grade of
brigadier general, four colonies, six
lieutenant colonies, twelve majors and
twenty captains.
1t is the duty Of the chief Of staff to
supervise all troops of the line. and he
is under the direct authority of the
president himself. The efficiency Of
the general staff is believed to have
been increased by the separation of the
duties of chief of staff and lieutenant

WASHINGTON LETTER
ESPECIAL Correspondence.1

Over century ago. largely through
the influence of George Washington,
congress consented to locate the ma
tional capital on the banks of the Po
tomac about twelve miles above Mount
Vernon. For many years after the
actual removal of the seat of govern
ment from Philadelphia the new city
had hard struggle for existence. Pub
lie Golfers were practically empty and
taxes were hard to collect.
Growth of the Capital.
The period from 1870 to 1874 marked
a new era in the capitals history. Dur
ing this time Governor Shepherd, n
truly remarkable man. who appears to
some to have been a crafty politician
and who Is recognized by all as having
been the founder of the new Washing
ton, was at the very height of his pow
er. He graded streets, planted trees.
dug sewers. costing what then seemed
fabulous sums. and spent about $3.OOO,
900 for wooden street pavementS.
which soon rOtted away. In about
three years he incurred a debt equal to
the price paid to Spain for the Philip
pines. Congress was aghast at this
enormous expenditure, although much
of it was justified. as results have
shown. And so in 1874 the government
was changed from the then existing
territorial form to the system now in
operation. After three-quarters Of a
century Of vicissitudes the city was
finally firmly established. The last
three decades, which really include all
of its life since Washington had been
a city of any size, have brought uni
form prosperity In less than half a
century the population has grown Won
derfully, increasing from $4,000 in 1860
to $4,000 III 1906

FISHES ARE SENSITIVE.


Ard Yet. Apparently, They Are Not
Capable of SUFFERING Pain.
All fishes have nerves, and in some
respects fishes are extremely sensitive.
A fish that has buried itself in sand or
mud so completely that only the tip of
its tail fin is above the bottom will feel
even the slightest touch and instantly
dart out Of its sandy bed. A fish is
very sensitive to movements in the wa
ter surrounding it, A shadow falling
upon the water will startle a fish into
fight. But. sensitive as fishes are in
some respects, it is probable that they
do not suffer pain from injuries re-
ceived.
Fishes are extremely sensitive at the
nose. A fish that had in pursuit Of
prey run its nose against rock might
shake its heed violently, perhaps in
pain. but fishes sustain serious injuries
from actual wounds without showing
any indication of pain. In fact, the
indications tend to show that they do
not suffer.
A fish that has been hooked by an
angler, but has escaped, perhaps carry
ing off hook in its mouth, may few
minutes afterward bite again at an
other hook. Such instances are not in
frequent. In such cases the hook would
probably be concealed by the bait and
the fish would not be likely to see it,
but the fact that it is ready to take the
bait shows that it is continuing to
feed, which it would scarcely be likely
to do if it were suffering great pain.
A shark from whose body all the. Wis
cera had been removed has continued
to feed.
Sensitive as fishes are about the nose
many of them use the nose in pushing
stones and gravel about in building a
nest for the female to spawn in. The
salmon VIGOROUSLY often wears its
snout down to the bone in excavating
a cavity for nest, and often it wears
off its tail to mere stub in brushing
out stones and gravel. Yet such fishes
frequently recover from their injuries
and return to the ocean.
Timid and sensitive as fishes are III
SOuc TcSpcClS, tllcS uSuI OuC dhOtuCi
vigorously. In such figlts they may re-
ceive injuries that might be described
as terrible. To these injuries they may
pay so little attention that after the
fight is over they go on with their feed
ing or with whatever occupation they
had been engaged In.
Injuries which would throw human
being into state of helplessness do no:
interrupt the current Of fish life. The
fish may afterward die from its inju-
ries, but apparently it does not suffer
pain from them.
Fishes sometimes survive injuries OF
q remarkable character. The stomach
Of a captured Goldfish was found to be
pierced by a spine of a founder which
it had swallowed. The sharp, thornlike
spine projected about half an inch be-
yond the outer wall Of the stomach into
the fish's body. Apparently the Goldfish
had suffered no Inconvenience from
this. The wound caused by the spine
had healed around it, and the Goldfish
was fat and in good condition gener-
ally.

Derivation of SWIFT" Sunday.

A perennial proble>l is that about the
etymology of Whit Sunday. and the
supporters Of Whitsunday could speak
more confidently with their anniversaries
il they remembered that the Welsh call
the anniversary ''Sulgwyn," which
means white Sun" This title pre-
serves the Druidic tradition that the
sun about this time turns white. No
doubt the old British belief arose from
the peculiar white glare Of the sunlight
reflected from the hawthorn blossoms,
which must have been far more frap-
pant when south Britain was one vast
forest and a thorn fence formed the
fertilization of every village. The pa
gan festival Of the White Sun possibly
developed into the "Whitsun Ales."-
