Manhattan island.

There is a general impression that
Manhattan island is comparatively
level, while it is far from 1t. From
the Battery water level you must
climb seventy-seven feet to reach
the Grand circle at Central park,
twenty-three feet more to get to the
highest point in Mount Morris park,
twelve feet more to reach water lev
ell in Central park reservoir, twenty
feet more to get to the top Of Morn
ingside park, another sixty-eight
feet to stand at Broadway and One
Hundred and Seventy-ffth street
and yet another fifty feet to get to
Washington Bridge road and One
Hundred and Eighty-fourth street,
when you are $50 feet above the wa
ter Of the bay.

ROYAL Ruildarn.

Both Ludwig II. Of Bavaria and
stanislaus, the Polish king, father
in-law Of Louis XIV, were most in.
veterate builders. In the course Of
few years the former built the
castle of Neuschwanstein and the
palace Of Luiderhof and Herren-
chiemsee, the last intended by him
to be a monument to Louis Qua
torze, while the latter, to crafty
his hobby, demolished churches,
chapels, ducal palaces, castle towers
and town homes. His greatest glo-
ry, according to some, is the church
Of Notre Dame de Bon Secours. But
antiquarians see in this church the
kings greatest crime, for to con-
struct it he demolished the famous
old church Of the same name erect
ed by the Duke of Lorraine in graf
itude for his victory over Charles,
duke of Burgundy, in 1477.

Capital Punishment.
Law Allowed to Stand, by Vote Of
14O TO 70.

By vote of 70 to 140 the House
on Tuesday refused to pass to a
third reading the bill abolishing
capital punishment,
The debate on the bill lasted three
hours and some of the best oratory
of the session was heard.
An effort was made to substitute
provision in the bill making i'm
prisonment for life the punishment
for a woman convicted of murder in
the first degree, but this was also
voted down.
Strong speeches for the bill were
made by Mr. Senter of Montpelier,
Mr.. Hulburd of Hyde Park and Mr..
Finn Of Springfield.

AUTOMOBILE HEARING.
A public hearing was given Tues
day evening in representative cham
Der en- nine bills relating to motor
vehicles. Joseph Battell of Middle
bury was the principal opponent of
the motor car.
Mr.. Brown of Sprin gfeld, an auto
mobilist, told Of his experiences on
the road, of which this is sample.
Just for test as to how many horses
were frightened by the automobile,
he took trip from Springfield to
Brattleboro and return during the
fair season. He passed 204 horses,
of whom 1876 were entirely Indifferent
to his machine, nine took some no
tice, and only one was terrified.
John W. Gordon of Barre also
spoke in favor of the automobile, as
did w. A. Lord of Montpelier.
Speaker Cheney has announced
that he can see clear sky ahead,
and if the committee work as we'll
from now on as they have during the
past few days, the legislature can
finish by Thanksgiving and without
unseemly rush.

The Windsor county vote in the
House was about evenly divided on
the bill abolishing capital punish
ment, the representatives from the
various towns doubtless believing
they were expressing the sentiments
of their constituents. The vote was
decisive-79 to 140 in favor of hang
ing, and the scaffold still stands, but
the advocates of life imprisonment
are not likely to lose courage in a
good cause. Capital punishment has
not long been a public issue, but we
believe the sentiment against it has
grown in the comparatively brief ag-
itation Of the subject. Some of the
strongest men in the Legislature OPP
pose it, but a thorough consideration
Of the issue by the people Of the state
will take time. Vermont is slow in
action, but she must eventually join
her sister states in discarding a relic
of barbarism.

The Way knowledge May Come TO Be
q Useless Thing.

- NoS'Ooo
The fact, of course, is that
knowledge in itself is one of the
most useless things in the world
when it is possessed by persons who
wear it simply as an isolated orna-
ment. The only use it can have in
the case of ordinary people is to en-
large the mental horizon and quick
en- sympathy. Of course it is val
liable instrument enough in the
hands of a specialist. But that is
the worst Of our educational
schemes, that they are all made by
specialists and theorists, as if the
design were to turn out specialists
by the score.
To the ordinary person, for in
stance, the study of history is val
liable, not that he may learn the
movement of political forces and
the development of constitutional
theories, but that he may realize
that there was a time when people
looked, thought and talked differ
emily, and, further, that he may
learn, however dimly, the benefits
of liberty and civilization. 1t is
fruitless quest with the majority of
minds to hope to train them to
have grip of conflicting tenden-
cies or to enable them to form
sound and catholic Judgment on
historical problems. In the first
place, their knowledge can never be
wide and sound enough for that nor
sufficiently at their command. What
ought really to be aimed at is to
kindle the Imagination, to awaken
generous admiration, to set people
aglow with the idea that it is worth
while to make personal sacrifices in
order to achieve some public spirit
ed end, in order to make others
wiser, stronger and happier. The
best part of history for ordinary
minds is that which deals with the
lives and characters and efforts of
noble minded and ardent PERSONAL
ties, which quickens the sense of
the largeness and the romance of
the world. Yet these are two things
that are hurried over by the con-
scientious teacher as being senti-
mental and dilettante in favor of q
knowledge of the events of a cam
paign OF the provisions Of an ait

ever to be a monument to Ohio in the

GREwSOME FINDS
In Removing Bones From the Old
Cemetery at Lebanon.

Considerable interest is being CEN
tered around the excavation and re-
moval of bodies from the old Presby-
terian cemetery in Lebanon to the
regular burial ground. Upuntil Mon.
day night los graves had been opened
and 106 bodies removed. In two cases
remnants of disturbed caskets were
found with no traces of human bones,
undoubtedly due to robberies years
ago.
The Oldest marked grave which was
opened was that of Christiana Sellers,
who died Aug. 13, 1907, nearly a
century ago. In some cases the bones
are found we'll preserved, while Others
had crumbled into dust, soon after ex-
posed to the air, however, the skele-
tons all began to shatter. With some
remains we're found portions of cloth
ing and various trinkets, among which
we're several brass buttons well pre-
served, proving to be those of revo-
lutionary soldier. A beer bottle was
found clutched in the hand of one
skeleton. The story behind this
grewsome find is, of course, unknown.
All these are interesting facts, but
connected with them is a mystery
with which only blood.curdling stories
of the yellow backs" compare. In a
tightly closed casket in good condi-
tion was found the skeleton of man
we'll preserved and in such position
as to assure all those who saw IL that
the unfortunate fellow must undoubt-
edly have been buried alive. This
can be explained, however, in the fact
that years ago hasty burials we're
made. No traces we're found to tell
who the unfortunate might be and all
that can be said is that these remains
we're among those of comparatively
recent date.
