he said this afternoon:
There is no question in my mind but
that Taft will be elected 10y "a large
majority. for the reason that the people

strong standing abroad. especially IN
England. English investors in AmeTi-
can securities have the utmost conf

English financisrs will be seeking in

try has produced. What is needed

NAUTICAL MILES
IN PROPORTION
Ratio of Knot to Lineal Land
Measure Is IS
to l3.

BY consulting any advanced arithme-
tic or unabridged dictionary it viii be
seen that "a mile in one country differs
greatly from that of another country,
so that confusion is very likely 10 en-
sue in the readers mind.
But a knot, or nautical mile, Is not
measured by guess or common usage. II
rests on a scientific basis, and cannot
vary.
How much is a knOt2 This question
IS asked, we believe, in every sea voy-
age by some passenger or other, and
never meets with a clear reply Sailors
themselves do not describe IL distinctly,
and books Of reference differ as 10 its
dimensions. We purpose TO answer the
question here.
A knot is One-sixueth of a mean de-
gree Of the earths meridian. This def
inition requires explanation. and also
numerical computation. The earth's
meridian is commonly described as any
GiTCle whose center Is the center Of the
earth. and whose circumference passes
through the poles.
This is not exact, because the meridian
IS not a true circle. Evidently IL would
be a true circle if the earth were a
true sphere, but the earth Is not true
sphere, il is a spheroid. It's diameter
measured on the axis being less than it's
diameter at the equator.
Hence the circumference Of a section
Of the earth by a plane passing through
its center and the poles, which circum-
ference is a meridian, is not true cir
Gle, but an oval Bearing this in mind.
Il will be easy to understand the mean
ing OF mean degree of the earth's
Y-eridian.
Advanced Arithmetic.
If three hundred and sixty separate
perfect circle, it is evident that the cir
cular measure Of each degree measured
on the circumference Of the circle viii
be the same.
But If they be set of from the center
OF an oval the measurements on the
circumference Of the oval win not all be
the same That this is the case. any one
may demonstrate for himself by draw
ing an oval and it's minor axis. and then
from the center OF the oval with radius
equal to its semi-miuOr axis, iuscTibing
a circle in the oval.
If now degrees-or rather, for con-
Veuience, equimultiples Of a degree-be
set on from the common center, the
geometry of the figure viii show al once
the variation IN the circular measure
ments on the circumference of the oval.
Now, a mean degree of the earth's
meridian is the average length of these
$50 unequal measurements. and il is OBJ
tanned by dividing the length of the
meridian by $50 Astronomers have
measured the earths meridian. and
found Il 10 be III 90 .2S1 English feet.

for ordinary purposes, knots may be

Without a doubt the greatest show
Of its kind that Is being staged is the
realistic production of Gen Lew Wal
lace's story of "Ben Hur, or a Tale
Of the Christ that is to be given at
the Grand opera house in Pueblo on
Dec. 2 and g. No book has been
more widely read by tho American
people and no play has thrilled Amer
ican theatre goers as this has done.
Because of the massive scenery and
fixtures there are no opera houses in
the smaller towns that can give the
facilities for the production. Even
in a city like Pueblo the entire stage
of the big opera house had to be torn
out and rebuilt when Ben Hur first
showed there.

cause of death. The jury did not
even state in positive terms that the
body was that of Bowman. but there
is no doubt that it is Bowman left
Littleton last Monday. where he
went to visit his family and make ar
rangements to remove to that place
for the winter. He WAS never seen
again alive and his body. which
burned almost to crisp, WAS found
in the rui Ms of his ranch house. which
had been destroyed by fire. The sup
position Is that Bowman was murdered
and his nome fred to hide the crime.
AS Bowman was not known to have
any personal enemies it is believed
the crime WAS committed for the pur-
