A Use For His Hat.

A funny incident of a drawing room
meeting was recently noticed. A grave
looking gentleman, with an unusually
tall hat entered and, seeing no rack in
the hall, placed his hat on the floor just
behind the door. Pretty soon another
grave man entered, with a large, drip
ping umbrella, and, peering anxiously
for the usual receptacle, saw In the
gloom the hat resting on the floor. His
eyesight was probably poor, for he
mistook it for one of the new umbrella
holders, and In it he deposited his drip
ping umbrella. This was an example
for those who followed, and in a short
time the solemn looking hat was
stanchly holding a dozen umbrellas.
At the end of the meeting the water In
the hat was an inch in depth.-London

Plague of Grasshoppers.

Great armies of grasshoppers and
crickets are now approaching within
few miles of the fields, gardens and
orchards in Fremont county and soon
will begin fierce battle between them
and the tillers OF the soil. with the
odds in favor of the pests. Organized
action is being taken against them,
fences are being built and nothing
will be left undone to defeat the
myriads of insects but only time can
tell which will win.
That Is the substance of the report
made to a Boise Statesman reporter
by George A. Day, state land appraiser,
who came directly from that part Of
the state.
1.-THE grasshoppers are coming from
off the desert above ST. Anthony" said
he. when I drove through them I
was greatly surprised. They seem to
be in schools and are marching along
toward the green fields. They are
young yet, and one driving through
them can detect the different schools
by their color. The young ones are
green. Those a little older are red,
and those nearly grown are black.
"The people are preparing in every
way possible to Withstand them. The
county commissioners have appointed
commission, under the provisions OF
the law passed by the last legislature
which is for the purpose of fighting
pests of any kind, and the property
owners will be assessed to defray the
cost of the fight. Fences are being
built about the fields. They are be-
ing made of an eight-inch board with
broad strip of tin fastened to the
top. When the grasshoppers come
to them they can climb up the boards,
but when they reach the tin they will
slide back to the ground. This will
stop them to a large extent unless
they stack up so deep that others can
crawl over their bodies"

A MYSTERY OF ClIEoPs.

est esteem in either folklore, proverb
or popular parlance the number s.
Except for its being represented in
the Druid's foot-smybol of witch
craft-which has five points, it is
rarely mentioned. 1t has been the
numeric stepchild, the Cinderella
among numbers, but has now, at last,
come into its full share of recognition
through the recent discoveries of al
civil engineer.
He found that in the construction
Of the pyramid of Cheops number
plays a most important, mysterious
part, which cannot possibly have been
the result of mere fortuitous chance.
In fact, the preservation of the ven
cradle old relic of a civilization OF
more than 1000 years ago is due in
a great measure, the engineer says,
to the influence of this number.
Despite its artistic simplicity, the
pyramid of Cheops is undoubtedly one
of the most complicated edifices of
all times. 1t is, IN fact,
complete compendium of all the
wonderful mathematical and as
Economical knowledge Of the early
Egyptians. 1t is testimonial
not only of the devotion of great
people who designed it as a lasting
monument to their beloved monarch,
Cheops, but also the high degree
of science to which they had attain
ed.
The height of the pyramid is on
ratio of 1 to 3.1415s to its circum-
ference. This is the so-called "Lu-
dolf proportion" which represents
the relation between the diameter and
the circumference as we'll as the area
of a circle.
The circumference is 3.14159 times
az great as the diameter; the area
3,14159 times the square of the ra-
dius.
If the length Of the sides is divided
into as many parts as there are days
in the year, each division will be a
pyramid-meter (about yard. One
of these pyramid-meters is the twen-
ty-millionth part of the axis of the
earth. Its length is twenty-five pyra-
| mid inches.
Multiply this number by 1000, 0,000,- :
600 and you have the exact distance
| of the earth from the sun.
And now for the role which number
plays in connection with the WON
dorful structure:
The pyramid is pentagonal; that is,
it has five sides and five angles.
The royal cript is on the fiftieth
structural stratum, and its walls con-
sist of five thicknesses of granite
blocks.
The engineer who made these re-
searches says he is of the opinion
that the builders of the pyramid
chose the pentagonal form with a
view-artly. at least-to durabiliay.
His reason for this belief is that in
a pentagon the sides and the diagon-
| nj are almost commensurate. while
in no quadrilateral figure that can
be constructed is this the case.
The result of this commensurabil-
itv between the sides and the diagon-
al is to give the structure well-nigh
indestructible strength. To this fact
msinly does the great pyramid owe
its existence in almost undiminished
grandeur in the face of the stress and
storm of so many thousands of years.
And thus the longdesposed number
has become enthroned at last among
the great mystic numbers.
