Yet third enthusiast worked out the
calculation 10 more than 100 places Of
lecimals and even then did not get so
near as Peter Metius, who guessed at
his answer. This latter lucky gentle
man asserted that the diameter Is TO
the circumference as 1l3 Is to 3J5. This
Is so nearly right that the error would
be less than a foot In a circle with q
1000 mile radius.
For a long time this approximation
was as near as any one got, but In 1868
a lady mathematician went one better.
Here Is her formula: "From three dl-
ameters deduct eight thousandths and
seven mlllionths Of diameter, and to
the result add per cent" We have

and a sixteenth Of an inch In 1900

Shanks succeeded In reducing by more
than one-half even this well nigh In

present the matter rests.

INDIA's WHITE ANTS.
Only One Kind of Wood, Sandal, Can
Withstand Their Attacks.

Withstand Their Attacks.
Insects Of various kinds are a peren-
NAL plague to Indian dwellers, tea
growers and others.
The tea bushes In the Assam gardens
have no less than four destructive enc
mics, from which no means Of escape
has yet been devised by man. These
are the bark eating borer, the sand
wich caterpillar, the mosquito and the
white ant, all of which attack the bush
and do immense damage.
By far the worst Of these plaques Is
the white ant, the mosquito merely at
lacking the leaves and causing blight.
The ants, however, begin at the roots
and eat upward, reducing the wood to
powder and leaving only the bark to
support the top, which soon topples
over by reason of its own weight.
There is no Indian wood which would
resist the ants insidious attack except
sandal. 1t delights IN reducing pine
and white wood to powder. 1t can
not work in the light, but must get at
the wood from some dark recess and
work within she'll.
In some mysterious way the white
ant gets indoors and has particular
penchant for penetrating into q veneer
ed or lacquered picture frame, and In
short time nothing will remain but the
veneer or lacquer, nothing else being
left but small portion Of the powder,
the rest being consumed or removed.
The method of attack Is by emitting
kind of acid, which destroys the
wood. And this ant has been known
to bore holes through the sheet iron
bottoms of trunks. Several long, sup
porting joists in a consular building IN
Calcutta were eaten out SO completely
that they had to be replaced with
steel ones.
While these destructive white ants
do not seem to possess much literary
taste they sometimes attack books
and destroy them by boring holes
through leaves and cover from side to
side.
An English resident in an Indian city
had a fine set OF upholstered furniture,
which he protected by some covering
as we'll as he could before leaving his
home for an absence of some months
on business, and when he returned he
sat down in a chair, which collapsed
under him like framework Of card

were born out there last night
1t is not always the fashion for a
mother tiger to call on the Danes 10 fur
nish the help which all tigers have been
able to furnish themselves since before
the time that the original keeper of the
garden of Eden zoo painted the stripes on
the first one of the species.

strong beasts the terror of the benighted
Hottentots and the delight OF Rudyard

Mamma Is Excited.
Here i'm the city, where there is SO
much noise and so many visitors on Sum-
day, the lady mother is quite apt to have
her head turned by the excitement of
people calling to see the little dears, who
look just like their father.
1t is not perhaps a settled fact that she
will run away and leave the Riddles "
their own devices, but there is danger
of her doing ii, as the folks who crowd
around the cage get her excited.
So for that reason Dr. Baker says he
wants a Great Dane. or some other large
hound who can act as nurse girl. He
wants one which has recently held a SINH
lar position. not for tigers necessarily. but
say for little Danes.
Here's Your Chance, Doggie!
1t is an elegant chance for a Great
Dane. She Will become the most famous
of her kind in the city, and may have
her picture taken by thousands of peo-
pie every week. Besides that. she will
have the company of one of the worlds
most startling animals, such as the Tas-
manian Devil, who is the quintessence of
ugliness, the Sea Island Turtles, who
have been roaming about the world for
hundreds of years and who look like the
old scratch.
She will have the best OF care: and I'm
addition to that she will have the COM
Portable feeling that in helping out with
the kittens she has acted the part of a
useful citizen of the four-legged world.
Now, Great Danes don't all speak at
