AN HOURS WALK.
You Would Hardly Think \ Meant
travelling s5,253 Miles.

You WouId Hardly Think Y Meant
travelling s5,253 Miles.
Have you ever thought Of the dis
lance you travel when you are out on
an hours strolla Possibly you walk
three miles within the hour, but that
aoes not by any means represent the
distance you travel, The earth turns
on its axis every twenty-Kour hours.
For the sake Of round figures, we win
call the earth's circumference $4,000
miles, and so you must have travelled
during the hours stroll 1000 miles in
the axial turn of the earth.
But this is not ALL The earth makes
a journey around the sun every year,
and a long but rapid trip It is. The dis
lance Of our planet from the sun we
will put at 92,000,000 miles. This is
the radius of the earth's orbit-half the
diameter of the circle. as we call It.
The whole diameter is therefore 1S4,-
100000 miles, and the circumference
being the diameter multiplied by
3.1416, IS about 57S,000,000
This amazing distance the earth trav-
els In its yearly journey, and dividing
It by 365 we find the daily speed about
1,5sG.OO0. Then we get the distance
you rode around the sun during your
hours walk, divide again by twenty
four, and the result is about 10000
miles. But this IS not the end Of your
hours trip. The sun, with its entire
brood Of planets, is moving in space at
the rate OF 100000 miles in year.
That is at the rate Of little more than
43so00 miles a day, or 1880 mics an
hour.
So, adding your three miles OF leg
travel to the hours axiai movement OF
the earth, this to the earth's orbital
journey and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you find
you have travelled in the hour 1928
miles.

Venom of the Most Poisonous Snakes

Venom of the Moat Poisonous Snakes
Does Not Anect Them.
An interesting fact about hedgehogs
that perhaps not many persons know
Is that the bites Of even the most poi
sonous serpents have no effect on them
whatever. Mr.. LEM. a naturalist, once
watched a fight between hedgehog
and q viper and gives a most interest
ing description Of It. He says that
when the hedgehog came near the
snake she began to smell It, for the
sight Of these animals Is 50 poor that
they depend almost entirely on the
sense Of smell, and then she seized its
head with her teeth
In a moment the snake had freed IT,
self and, dartlng at the hedgehog bit
II several times, but the little animal
did not seem TO mind the bites at all,
and when the snake was tired out with
its efforts she again seized its head,
which she ground beneath her teeth,
poisonous fangs and ALL Then she de-
voured almost the whole Of its body.
NJ. LEM also tells Of pet hedgehog
that he kept ID his house In large
box. Several times he put some adj
ders into the box, which the hedgehog
did not seem to fear at all, but at
tucked them fiercely and, as In the case
of the other, was never In the least at
fected by their poisonous bites.
A man who had pet hedgehog
In his possession for a long time says
that he had often seen 1t throw Itself

height. Without pausing a moment II

ball and fall to the ground SO lightly
that almost Immediately It would I'M

EIGHT MUTINEERS SHOT

London, Aug 3.--Lord Monkswell who
raised the Congo question in the House
Of Lords the other day, arraigned the
administration Of Leopold in no uncer-
tain terms. Lord Monkswell said the
Congo Government was powerful en-
CINE Of greed which iinpudently and in
solently violated the limitations and re-
strictions under which its rights over
this territory had been granted. The
speaker quoted authorities to support his
statements, and added that an especial
responsibility attached to Great Britain,
because, except for her determined ac-
ton, the king Of Portugal and not the
king of the Belgians would at this
moment have been the ruler Of the
Congo
The Archbishop Of Canterbury ie-
clared that the Congo was one Of the
most disheartening and humiliating OF
contemporary questions. He said 1t was
q CHASTITY irony to read today the words

by the city of London in 1854 congratu-
lating his majesty upon his "Bloodless
victory He declared the British
Government should be reminded Of tha
sense 81 responsibility " an Ltibti7h-
men in this matter.
Lord Fitzmauriee, undersemetary for
Foreign Affairs, speaking for the Govern
ment, said it was not Blind to the fact
that this matter was surrounded with
grave difficulties. The Government had
asked the Congo states, he said, not to
disregard the experiences OF previous
governments Of native states, and had
iustanced the early history OF British
East India. The present system, the
speaker said, was certain to have evil
consequences Lord Fitzmaurice admit
ted that the House Of Lords had right
tn ask what progress had been made,
lltt be said it was an international ques-
tion, and if the House took any sudden,
rash action it would run the risk Of in
juring the cause it had az heart.

suggested that the man with tue Gar

tiously against his center, looking out
for an ambush, and received quick
scattered fire from three rifles. Sew
eral of the advancing party fell. Then
they drew of to make a detour to the
right, but there they received another
volIey. A party sent to the left met
with similar reception.
Meanwhile the hopes Of the party OF
standing off their enemies for at least
some time grew stronger, The excel
lence OF Nye's plan had become appar-
ent. The party had ample ammunition
and provisions, and the mountain
stream afforded water. What they
dreaded was either q rush Of all the
Indians together or that they would
make a wide detour, get In the whites
rear and discover their weakness. AS
some counteraction for this latter dan.
ger Marcia Hildreth volunteered to so
far on the right and make a masked
defense. She took her mother with her,
and Mrs. Kelley and her fourteen-year-
old son went to the left
Nye felt ghost Of hope In this
move, for he was sure that the In
dams would try for his rear. He was
right A small party of bucks went
around to the right. They were dis
covered by Marcia HiIdreth, and two
rife shots rang out from her position
The Indians, convinced that their enc
mics were sufficiently strong to pro
tect every weak point, now sat down
for regular siege.
For three days Nye held his little
army, consisting Of a few men, wo-
men and children, together, or rather,
separate. and wherever redskin tried

sufficiently strong force. At the end

number Chapman was mortally wound

right These were the only casualties.
The fame of Nyes exploit reached
Washington. He was advanced rapidly
and soon given an independent COM
mand, IN which he kept all the reputa.
ton he had gained, besides adding to
it materially.
Marcia Hildreth was devoted to her
wounded lover during the rest Of tie
journey and nursed him till his death.
II is possible that the bullet that kin
ed him avoided complications or pos
sIbly prevented his betrothed from
marrying the wrong man. 1t is GER
tainly a dangerous thing for woman

pass him by a display of such sterling
qualities, such fitness for command as
was displayed by Nye. besides saving
her life and the lives of all the party.
At any rate, the funeral yolley had
scarcely been fred over Chipmnn's
grave before there was singular
warmth IN heY treatment OF Nye. and
barely year elapsed before she be-

rhe Latest ExpIanaLIon u Dream.

Modern students Of dreams claim that
no dream is without its significance; that
the subconscious ego which dreams is
much "vaster personality than the con
scious ego; and that at the base Of
every dream is some tendency or desire
of the individual who dreams. Dr. Fred
crick Peterson, professor Of psyehiatry
lat Columbia university, contributes an
article on "The New Diyination Of
Dreams 70 the August number Of Harp
cr4 Magazine, in which he shows how
far this modern study has progressed.
His explanation Of the frequent appar-
ent triviality OF dreams Is interesting.
Why, for instance, does one seldom dream
of recently dead friend or relative

Mexico, City, Aug. s.-The eleven
men who were sentenced to be shot in
Guatemala City for conspiracy in the at
tempt to assassinate President Cabrera,
have not been executed, and according
to Walter Williams, resident OF Qua
temala City for thirteen years, who has
arrived in this capital, there will be no
executions for that offence. Speaking Of
conditions in Guatemala Mr. Williams
said. People in Guatemala believe that
war with Mexico will come sooner or
later. Guatemala has 10000 men IN
arms IN preparation for the conflict. But
the subject IS seldom discussed by the
residents Of Guatemala and they are
calmly awaiting developments. A re-
cent rumor that Zelaya was TO invade
Guatemala caused furry, and money
