the HEIGHT OF THE TREE.
You Can Tell Il Without tbs Aid Of
an instrument.


To know how one may without In
stvuments-and with approximate ac-
.uracy-obtain the height of trees,
buildings. and similar lofty objects
which are Inaccessible 10 measure
ment by hand" is q bit OF simple
knowledge that may sometimes be Of
great value-and is always sure TO be
amusing and instructive
For the purpose OF illustration take
any tall tree that stands upon fairly
level ground.
Make a rough guess at the height
OF the tree. and mark a point that dis
lance away, and on as near level
with the foot OF the tree as possible.
Accuracy depends largely upon this.
At the point selected set firmly up
right a rod Of known height-for con
venience call u seven feet above the
ground. The operator must now OBJ
tain, n he does not already know Il,
the height OF his eyes above the
ground. For a man OF i've feet ten
and half inches. let us say, this
measurement is likely to be five feet
six inches-that is, four and a half
inches less than the height. But, says
Youths Companion. n tape Is con.
veniently at hand. It is better to make
an individual and accurate measure
ment.
Now let the surveyor" lie fat on
his back with HIS heels close against
the bottom OF the pole by sighting
over the top OF Il. Ne must bring the
top OF the tree in direct line.
In order 10 do this. Il may be neces
sary 20 make one or two experiments

How the corks Are Held.

The puzzle is to avoid this and enapis
them 20 part freely.
Solution: The secret lies In the POI
sltion OF the hands as they are
brought together. The uninltated
brings them together with the palms
OF both turned toward the body. with
the consequence We have described.
To solve the puzzle, turn the palm OF
the right hand inward. and that OF the
left hand outward. IN the act OF SELF
ing the corks They will then, says
the Montreal Herald, not get IN each
others way. but may be separated
without the least dlfncalty.

berry of the Globe Laundry. Morgan
