New Ensland's Population.

New England is the first section to
make complete report under the new
census. The six states have combined
population in 1910 of 6,554, 600, against
$3.50, 900 in 1900 and 4,700,0O in 1890.
The increase for the decade Just con-
cluded is 964, 600, against 800, 900 for its
predecessor.
For more than half a century Maine,
Vermont and New Hampshire have
been growing very slowly, but the in
crease in the other three has been in
variably large. Massachusetts, Con-
necticut and Rhode Island, with a land
area of only 1900 square miles, have
5,024, 900 inhabitants. Rhode Island

Many aeronauts assert that to them

above and in the sky viewed from be-
low. The German engineer Heinel
suggests a hypothesis which is indie
pendent of the physiology of vision and
IS based on the purely physical laws of
refraction. Heinel explains the illu-
sion by the variation of the retroactive
index of the atmosphere as a function
of density and, consequently, of alt-
tude. According to Helmets calcula-
lions, the surface of the earth, sup
posed plane, would present, to the eye
of an observer in a balloon at an eleva-
ton h, the form of a spheroid, having
its axis of revolution vertical and its
center at the eye. The length of the
vertical semi-aXis, or the apparent dis
lance of the point of the earth's surface
which is directly beneath the eve, is
0.4558h. (In other words, the ground,
like the bottom of a pool of water, is
brought nearer to the eye by refrac-
tion.) For the horizontal semi-axis of

FRIDAY, DECEMBER a, 1910.
The Legislature.

Perhaps one of the most important
bills introduced into the Legislature is
that granting the Champlain Realty
Company of New York the right
by eminent domain to float its logs down
the Ottaquechee river and its tribu-
taries. This river rises in the town of
Sherburne, Rutland County, and flows
through Bridgewater, Woodstock, Pom
fret, Hartford and empties into the
Connecticut river in the town of Hart
land. The company owns block of
some 1900 acres covered with the orig
inal spruce forest. This they have
owned for a number of years and desire
now to cut it and transport the same to
their pulp mills at Bellows Falls. They
think they can do this much more cheap
ly by floating the logs down the Otta-
quechee and the Connecticut; and there
fore seek such right or privilege from
the state of Vermont.
The bill is strongly opposed by large
number of the citizens of the towns
through which the Ottaquechee flows
and especially by the inhabitants of
Woodstock. Many letters from these
citizens were presented at the public
hearing and also petitions signed by
seven or eight hundred petitioners,
earnestly protesting against the bill.
There are quite number of mills along
this river employing several hundred
persons.
The case was presented very ably by
w. B. c. Stickney of Bethel, for the
company, and John H. Senter of Mont
pelier, for the opposition. 1t appears
that the Realty company have paid for
some years but small tax on this land
and very much less than the aggregate
taxes of those living along this river.
Very grave doubts have been ex-
pressed whether the right of eminent
domain should be used to give such
privileges to a private party. The
parties desiring it will pay practically
nothing for it; whilst the cutting of the
forest in itself would be very serious
damage to the State as well as great
annoyance to those who dwell upon the
banks of this river.
The claim is made by the Realty COM
pany that they can in no other way
realize from their property, which of
course is not true. They doubtless
cannot realize as much profit in any
other way, and it was on account of
this that they were enabled to buy the
property ten or twenty years ago, very
low. But they could doubtless sell
their spruce logs to-day at five dollars
per thousand on the stump.
There would certainly seem to be no
reason why the Legislature should seri-
ously damage the State and invade the
rights of many citizens, in order to give
a larger profit to a private corporation.

While the question of the policy OF
the Legislature as regards saving OF
time and money is under consideration
it should be borne in mind that the
body in question is simply an aggrega-
ton of individuals, and that, if each
individual does his full duty, the Legis-
lature as whole will take care of it.

matter how retiring he may have been

value is enormously greater than that of
the vertical semi-axis. Hence the
spheroid is very oblate and the appar-
ent concavity of the ground is very
slight, but the formula shows that the
concavity increases with the difference
between the two indices of refraction.
In reality the level surface of the earth
is not plane, but has concavity which
would theoretically diminish the appar-

WASHING1 IDEAL PLACE
FOR EXPOSITION.

The proposal to hold an exposition in
this city in the celebration of the com
pletion of the Panama canal should-and
will-receive the hearty support of
( every Washington interest. Although
the suggestion was made but two weeks
ago, the leading business men of the
city have already taken it up enthusi-
asticallv and a number of influential
members of Congress have shown dis
position to help develop it. 1t looks,
on paper, as if everybody means bust
ness and is determined to make the
exposition a fact.
No city in the country has so Just
claim TO a Panama canal celebration.
Washington is located right, geographi-
cally, and, like the isthmian ditch. it is
a national institution All the people
of all the States and Territories are
building the canal, and all the people
OF al the States and Territories feel
that they have a proprietary interest
IN Washington. Nothing could be more
fitting than that the nationwide ceIe-
bration in honor of the completion of
the canal be held here.
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New
. Orleans are already after the Panama
exposition. When Mr.. Taft visited
these cities on his swing around the
circle last fall their claims were duly
and forcefully presented by enthusiastic
citizens, but no promises were made by
the President. Mr.. Taft heartily ap-
proved the general idea of a national
exposition in celebration of the com
pletion of the canal, but he was careful
not to commit himself ID the cause of
any city. Congress has not vet taken
up the project, Sc it may be assumed
that as the case stands today no com
munity has any advantage over any
other with the Administration or the
national law-making body.
This being true, there is every reason
for Washington to feel encouraged and
to bend every energy toward making this
the exposition city. In Los Angeles,
San Francisco, or New Orleans the ex-
position would be very largely com
mercial affair, dominated by the great
commercial interests which symbolic

EASTER SUNDAY, A DAY FOR
HOPE AND OPTIMISM.

In thousands of churches throughout
the Christian world, in the millions of
Christian homes, Easter Sunday is be-
ing observed. 1t is a day distinctive
among the festival days of the church.
1t is in celebration of the resurrection
of Christ, and marks the end of the
LenteH season. 1t corresponds closely
in time with the great Jewish feast of
the passover, the celebration in COM
incarceration of the night when the
Lord, shifting the first born of Egypt.
passed over the houses Of the children
of Israel.
Easter is prominently a Christian
festival, but the influences of the day
are by no means confined to those
strictly within the pale of the church.
1t has come TO be a time when all men
can catch the light of new hope and
inspiration. 1t is a day for optimism,
and its lessons are numerous and bene-
ficent. As the resurrection of Christ
lifted high the hearts OF His depressed
disciples, and as the gospel of which He
was the embodiment ilIumined the dark
world of heathenism and mbelief, so
is it with Eastertide II it's effects on
the hearts of men, orthodox and I'M
orthodox alike. Its symbol is the lily,
whose purity and beauty seems to call
man TO better things. II comes at the
END Of winter and the beginning of
spring, and the myriads of flowers that
are a part of the day emphasize its
brightness and add to the cheerfulness
of all its lessons and teachings.
Easter this year comes at an earlier
date than usual. 1t viii be long before
it comes as early as this again. In the
language of the poet, the winter Is
over and gone, the flowers appear on
the earth, the time of the singing of
birds is come. Peculiarly bright and
joyous and beautiful is this Easter day
in Washington, with lis clear, fresh
air, its blue skies, its unclouded sun,
its hosts of happy children, its thous-
ands of happy families, its multitudes
of well-dressed, prosperous, progressive
people.
Of the many ideas we can draw from
such an Easter, this, if not the greatest,
is well worth bearing in mind. 1t is
that, as the hope and faith and op-
timism of this day is made to spread
its influence, through not merely Easter
but every day Of the year, by this
much more will each Of us find the
true way to a life il which peace
and happiness is combined with the
greatest usefulness.
The Washington times., 1910-03-27

the life of those cities. IN Washington
it could be made more strictly an ex-
position of and by the whole people in
celebration of a great world event ac-
complished by them. While illustrating
and explaining the great commercial
advantages which will accrue TO the
world because of the construction of the
canal, it could be conducted as
broader, more nationwide and world
wide institution if held here than if
held anywhere else.
Washington must not deceive itself
by thinking that the exposition can be
established here without hard work
Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New
Orleans are hustling cities, and may be
expected to make vigorous and effective
battle for a prize that would mean
millions to them. WashingtOnians must
be ready TO take off their coats and
labor necessarily for months. They
must he ready to put their hands into
their pockets and product a liberal sup
ply of cash, for, although the Govern
ment will undoubtedly give liberal as
sistance to the city which finally gets
the exposition, the local people them
selves will first have 10 demonstrate
that they are also liberal.
The Board of Trade, the Chamber of
Commerce, and the Commercial Club
have gone on record in favor of a Wig
orOus and united campaign for the ex-
position. If this spirit prevails there
is material hope of achieving sue
cess. Washingtonians should get to-
gether, work together, and pull together
for this project, which would mean so
much to us and to the country at
large.
