MEASURING A TREE.
Different Ways In Which Two Boy:
Accomplished the Task.

Different Ways In Which Two Boys
Accomplished the Task.
"Near the end of the season our
boy announced the height Of our
tall maple tree to be thirty-three
feet.
"'Why, how do you know?' was
the general question.
"'Measured it,
"'How"
"Footrule and yardstick.'
"FYou didn't climb that tall
tree?' his mother asked anxiously.
"ENo'm. l found the length of
the shadow and measured that
"'But the length of the shadow
changes
"*Yes'm. But twice a day the
shadows are just as long as the
things themselves. I've been try
ing all summer. I drove a stick
into the ground, and when it's
shadow Vas just as long as the
stick l knew that the shadow Of
the tree would be just as long as
the tree, and that's thirty-three
feet"
The above paragraph appeared
in m of the daily papers which
come to our office. The item was
headed GA Clever Boy" Now, we
do not know who this advertised
boy was, but we knew quite as clev-
er a boy, one who could have got
the approximate height of the tree
without waiting for the sun to
shine at a particular angle or to
shine at all, for that matter. The
way boy No. 2 went about the same
problem was this: He got a stick
and planted it in the ground and
then cut it off just at the level of
his eyes. Then he went out and
took a look at the tree and made a
rough estimate of the trees height
in his mind, and, judging the same
distance along the ground from the
tree trunk, he planted his stick in
the ground. Then he lay down on
his back with his feet against the
standing stick and looked at the
top of the tree over the stick.
If he found the top of the stick
and tree did not agree he tried a
new position and kept at it until he
could just see the treetop over the
end Of the upright stick. Then all
he had to do was to measure along
the ground to where his eye had
been when lying down, and that
gave him the height of the tree.
The point about this method is
that the boy and stick made a
right angled triangle with boy for
base, stick for perpendicular, both
of the same length, and the line
of sight the %hypotenuse or long
line of the triangle. When he got
into the position which enabled him
to just see the treetop over the top
of the stick he again had a right
angled triangle with tree as per-
pendicular, his eyes distance away
from the trunk, the base, and the
line Of sight the hypotenuse. He
could measure the base line along
the ground and knew it must equal
the vertical height, and he could do
this without reference to the sun.
It was an ingenious application Of
the well known properties Of a
right angled triangle.-Railway and
Locomotive Engineer.

Bankers Family Have Narrow
Escape From Coal Gas.

The family of P. w. Ault, cashier of
the First State Bank at Easily had a
narrow escape from a%sphyxlation by coal
gas Monday morning. About six o'clock
Mr.. Ault arose in answer to an early
phone call with 3 hazy, tired feeling.
He did not suspect the cause as he
somewhat recovered on reaching the
open air. Mr.. Ault and Miss Minnie
Baker were not so fortunate. When
they attempted to rise later on they both
fell to the floor almost in a stupor. AS
they reside over the hardware store they
succeeded to attract attention by repeat
ed pounding on the floor. Those enter

ladies recover sufficiently to breathe
freely. They are both now out of danger
and are grateful for their fortunate
