A Fashionable Suit of Striped Serge.

tdenlOnAnle oulI OF Strlned serge.
Striped materials are being much
worn this season and trimming OF
black on white Is in the height of
style. This costume Is made Of white
serge with stripes OF black and is
trimmed with black satin and the eff
feet is an excellent one. The little
bolero is new and iaunty. perfectly
simple, and so easy to make that the
veriest amateur need not hesitate to
undertake It.. II is cut all in one
piece. The back Is joined to a belt
and the belt is brought round and
closed at the front The fronts can
be turned over to form revers or but
toned over as shown in the small
view. The skirt is circular and can
be made either in one OF two pieces.
When cut in one piece the stripes be-
come bias on the left side. and many
people like this effect better than the
one illustrated. In this instance, the
skirt is cut off at the natural waist
line and finished with a belt. but Il
can be made in Empire style If liked.
Such a model is an excellent one for
every seasonable suiting material II

MEASURING THE EARTH.
Ersstosthenes Made tho First Attempt
and Did Fairly Well.

Erastosthenes Made the First Attempt
and Did Fairly Well.
The earliest attempt to measure the
circumference of the earth was made
by Greek. Erastosthenes. who was
born 276 b. G. He found that at
Syene the gnomon. or upright pillar,
used by the Greeks TO measure the
height of the sun in the sky. showed
the sun to be exactly overhead at
midday at the time of the summer
solstice. while at Alexandria the gno-
mon cast shadow upon the same
date. showing that the latter point
was one-fiftieth Of the earth's circum-
ference north Of Syene.
Erastosthenes reasoned correctly
that the length Of the shadow at Alex
andria bore the same relation to the
circumference of the small circle de-
scribed from the top Of the gnomon as
center that the distance between the
two cities bore to the circumference of
the globe. This latter was 5000 stadia,
or about $50 miles, which when null
tiplied by fifty gives Sl,s50 miles MS
the circumference Of the earth. This
result is not quite correct. but as
nearly so as could be expected from
the first rough attempt to estimate it.
