LIEUT.. VINCENT'S SENTENCE
Loses Twenty Numbers for Being
Intoxicated While on Duty

The Navy Department has received
the record and findings in the case of
Lieutenant Roe w. Vincent of the
navy. who was recently tried by
court-martial and sentenced TO a loss
Of twenty numbers in his grade and
to be reprimanded.
Lieutenant Vincent, who is attached
to the Colorado, was charged with in
toxication while on duty. The tesii-
mony showed that he left the ship at
Chefoo and when nc returned and went
on duty was too drunk to perform SER
vice.
As the board was convened by Rear
Admiral Dayton, the commander
in-chief Of the Asiatic fleet, and the
iinding approved by him, action by
the Navy Department was not neces-
sary.

and coal 1t would take to move the
earth a foot, supposng that 1t was sub
Jected throughout it's mass to a force
equivalent to terrestrial gravitation.
This Is gratuitous supposltion, for in
spite Of It's enormous mass the earth
weighs nothing.
Starting with the fact that the
earths mass Is about 6,1OO million
million-mlllion tons, our statistician
calculates that we should require TO-
OOO,OOO0OO years for a 10000 horse
power engine to move our globe foot.
The boiler that should feed this engine
would Vaporize a quantity Of water
that would cover the whole face of the
globe with a layer 300 feet deep. The
yaporization of this water would re.
quire 1000 million million tons of coal.
Ihis coal, carried in cars holding ten
tons each and having a total dength of
thirty feet, would require 400 million
million cars, which would reach So
100000 times around the earth. This
train, moving at the rate of forty
miles an hour, would take more than
100000 years to travel its own
length. 1t would require for storage a
shed that would cover 1000 times the
area Of Europe.
II we realize that. this Enthusiastically
huge amount of energy is nothing at
all compared with what the earth pos
sesses in virtue of It's rotation about its
axis, its revolution about the sun and
Its translation in space with the solar
system, of which the earth is but an
intinitesimal part Of the universe we
may get some idea of the Importance
Of man in the universe and estimate
his incommensurable pride at Its Just
value.

Modern cemetery ideas that run con-
trary to deep-seated sentiment usual
ly create dissatisfaction when they
are first introduced. Just now, says
Park and Cemetery, the lot holders in
Cedar Groce cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y.
are agitated over the rule providing
for the levellng of all grave mounds.
Many of the lot holders who are now
paying for annual care of their lots
object to a notice to the effect that
mounds on lots for which annual care
Is not paid would be levelled. Some
resent it as "a mean outrage"
Other cemeteries have had similar
experiences. In Lakewood cemetery,
Minneapolis, when a new law went
into effect regarding the lowering Of
grave mounds there were many pro-
tests, but In a less than a year when
tAe changed appearance OF the sections
made apparent the marked improve
ment In the landscape by lowering the
mounds TO an almost imperceptible
rise over the graves lot holders began
requesting this treatment of their lots,
and within short period of time sew
eral thousand grave mounds had been
lowered, the cost OF annual care ma
| terially reduced, and the general ap-
| pearance OF the grounds greatly i'm
proved.
