STEvENsoN's AUTOGRAPH.
How the Author Rewarded Thought.
fuinsss Of a Collector.

Robert Louis Stevenson, whose
Treasure Island, Master of Ballantrae
aud other stories are dear to every
boys heart, had great dislike for
seeing his name misspelled, in such
forms as Stephenson, etc.
Following is the letter he wrote to
one of the numerous persons who
asked the favor of his autograph:
''Vailima, Uphola, Samoa.
'YOu have sent me slip to write
on; you have sent me an addressed
envelope; you have sent it to me
stamped; many have done as much be-
fore; You have spelled my name
right, and some have done that. In one
point you stand alone-you have sent me
stamps for yours. What is asked with
so much consideration I take pleasure
to grant. Here, since you value it, and
have been at the pains to earn it by such
unusual attentions-here is the signature
"ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON,
c. R.
Don't you suspect that &C. F" must
have been a stamp enthusiast as well
as an autograph collector? Fort
would occur to few others than phila-
telists to inclose Samoan stamps for

by setting the pole forward or back
ward.
Care must be taken, however, not
to force the alignment by any stretch
ing or ':Scrouching' in order to bring
the eye into the desired plane.
When the proper point is found, as
indicated in the figure, the surveyor
will see that he has furnished himself
with the two similar triangles ABC
and ADE. The length of the side
ALB is known to be in this case five
feet and six inches; the side BIC is
seven feet: the side AID is quickly
measured, and found to be, let us say,
60 feet.
The geometry student will turn
naturally to the proposition about sim
liar triangles and their homologous
sides when he reaches this point. But
for the general convenience, the SIM
pie arithmetical process is given.
Write out the proportion-or carry it
in your head if you can-AB is to AID
as BIC is to DE. Putting this in fig
ures: Five and half is to 60 as
seven is to be unknown quantity-the
height of the tree. Multiply AID (6O)
by BIC CD and divide the result by
ALB (514), and the result is approx
mately 76 feet four inches, the de-
sired measure of the tree.
With this formula firmly in mind
the surveyor may secure the same re-
suit by simpler method on the same
principle. Drive the pole into the
ground until the top is just at the
level of the eyes; then lie down and
'sight' as before. Since the lines ABB
and CB thus secured are equal, the
lines AID and DE will also be equal,
and it is only necessary to measure
the line AID in order to obtain the
height of the tree. IF the surveyor
knows the length of his step, he can
pace the distance, and thus measure
the tall tree pretty accurately without
the use of foot-rule, tape or anything
of the kind.

THE HEIGHT OF THE TREE.
You Can Tell It Without the Aid Of
an Instrument.

To know how one may without in
struments--and with approximate &C.
curacy-oktain the height of trees,
buildings, and similar lofty objects
which are inaccessible to measure
ment "by hand" is a 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 rough guess at the height
OF the tree, and mark point that dis
tance away, and on as near a 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 it seven feet above the
S7cund. The operator must now OBJ
tain. If he does not already know it,
the height of his eyes above the
ground. For man of five feet ten
aud 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
fouth's Companion, if tape is con.
veniently at hand, it is better to make
an individual and accurate measure.
