FLEET HIAWATHA.
A Cynical Critics Cold Analysis of
LonefeIIew's Description.

- SynlCaI SfItic Sold Analysis OF
Lonefellow's Description.
Determine how fast, asks Professor
Graerhili. ltiawatha can run from tie
following data:
Strong OF arm was IIawaths
He could shoot ten arrows upward.
And the tenth had left the hpwstring
Ere the first TO earth had fallen.
Swift OF foot was IIawathu
He could shoot an arrow from him
And run forward with such sWiftne5s
That the arrow fei! behind him.
Neglecting the resistance OF the mir
and granting that Hiawatha could
shoot one arrow second, the solution
is as follows:
The time Of flight Of the arrows shot
upward must have been nine seconds.
Therefore the velocity with which they
were shot, being equal to the time NUT
tiplisd into half the value Of The CON
slant of gravity, was l44 feet second.
Now, in shooting an arrow from him.
Hiawatha. to obtain the fartlIest tlight,
would let fly ut an angle of forty dive
degrees, and by a simple trigonOmet-
rical calculation we therefore arrive at
the fact that the horizontal velocity OF
the arrow would be rather less than IA
feet second and would in fact he 1O2
feet second, or seventy miles an hour.
Hiawatha would therefore have to run
faster than this. Could he do it on 4
sprint?
Again having recourse to calculn ton,
we find that an arrow shot at IA feet
second would ny PIG yards or near
~ furlong. Hiawatha would run
that distance In about seven seconds.

Shoes and Spectacles for Animals

TN Bohemia when geese are to be driven long
distances to market they are shod for the
journey. The method of shoeing is as simple
as it is effective. The geese are made to walk
repeatedly over patches of tar mixed with
sand. This forms a hard crust on their feet,
which enables them to travel great distances
without becoming sore footed.
Even more useful than shoes for geese are
the spectacles Worn by the COWS that feed on
the Russian steppes, a region where the snow
lies for six months in the year.
These cattle pick up living from the tufts
of grass that crop above the snow. The sun
shines SO dazzlingy upon the white surface
that many of the animals formerly suffered
from snow blindness. 1t occurred to an in
genious and humane individual that this situa
ton might be remeded; SO he at once expert
mented in the manufacture of smoke colored
sPectacles that might be adjusted to cattle.
The result was successful and the animals
were saved much suffering.

suffering patient may have a painless death,
remove the pillow, should it be stuffed with

an owl, even a stuffed one in a room where
a game is in progress, brings bad luck.

in the same region is the "Soufriere bird, !"

this bird will die, while the most horrible tor

The Value of Skins

0W1NG to pelagic sealing and the depopu-
~ lation of the great rookeries off the coast
of Alaska, the market price of perfect
seal skin, taken from the largest bachelor seal has
risen from five and ten dollars to one hundred
and one hundred and fifty dollars within the
last twenty five years. This makes seal hunt
ing something worth while, and reconciles the
maratne butchers to the capture of few
dozen pelts in the course of a season. The pelt
of huge grizzly bear when tanned and pre-
pared as a rug, may bring one hundred dollars,
if collector wants it enough to pay the price:
The skins of lions and tigers and other tropical
animals may be bought by most anybody OF
moderate means. As sea lions and butfaloes
are practically extinct, no market quotations
can be given, though a few pelts show up in
the fur markets of London every year.

against fair and square deal. R. T.
g-lner. commissioner OF agriculture.
yaid today:
This war Of the bears was to be
expected. They have fattened at the
expense Of the cotton producers for
third of century. and will give up no
power without a vigorous contest.
The farmers will win out just as GER
tain as they will stand together and
hold their cotton. AS long as the
bears can buy cotton for less than IS
cents per pound they are going to do
it. EveryNbale that goes into the mar
ket for less than the price agreed up
on by the farmers furnishes additional
ammunition to the bears with which
to beat down the price still lower.
But the very moment that the spin
ners find that they can't buy cotton
for less they will plank up Is cents.
and then they will be getting it for
less than its relative value.
'The duty Of the farmers is so plain
that it would seem that further plead
ing and admonition are superfluOus.
Hold. hold. and continue to hold. for
the agreed price should be the war
cry of every farmer in the South.
Suppose that for one month cotton
should cease to move and not another
bale find its way into the markets of
the world. The suspense would be-
come so intense that the bears would
surrender and create a stampede for
Is cent cotton. For more than a year
all cotton goods have been sold on a
basis of IS cents per pound for the
raw material.
Il would again urge the farmers to
stand together like an iron mountain
for the price agreed upon by the farm
ers' organizations. The South has
sufficient money to finance the crop,
and am glad to note that that article
is on the increase"
