Art of Snow Shoeinq.

The art of walking on snowshoes
with the spring or straddle bug
gait" so curious at first sight, Is &C
quired only after a deal of practise.
Moreover, experience In sports OF this
kind Is indispensable. If you start
alone, put on your shoes when the
snow comes, see that the bindings are
fast and that the foot works freely,
and then tumble round until you are
tired, which will be soon. You will
learn a lot and find out some things
that you will be obliged to have ex-
pert advice upon.
The best course is to begin under
the tutelage of some friend who
knows the game. In any case do not
let another winter pass by without
learning the joys Of this glorious sport,
If you are robust you will love it for
it's own sake. If you are delicate, take
it easy, and you will find yourself a
new woman or a new man after pump
ing oxygen and the ozone Of the ever
greens into your lungs all winter

MIGHT Haze Reached the Top

as splendid record as governor as
you have as comptroller the eyes OF
the nation will be upon you, and no
man can say what will then follow in
your political fortunes
About this time" continued Mr..
Lamont there was abundant evil
dence that the Republican party in
the state was to undergo most serious
factional disturbances during the next
few years. The sores made by sew
eral old rows had not yet healed;
there was an element in the party
that was planning to bring about the
nomination Of Grant. for president the
following year, and there was an ele-
ment equally determined to prevent
that nomination. The comptroller,
shrewd political observer that he was,
must have realized that Dan Man
ming was not talking without full
weighing Of the situation; he must
have realized the political possibilities
that lay before him, especially as he
was fully aware of the plan of Man
ming and others to work for his nomi-
nation as governor In 1882. Yet the
COMPTROLLER reasoned in this way:
Politics, while fascinating, Is uncer-
tain. No one can tell how long per-
sonal or party popularity will last.

How He Found Base Line for the GI-
oantlc Work of the United States
Coast and Geodetic
Survey.

The scientific organization Of the
United States coast and geodet1c sur
vey, which has for it's original and
principal purpose a survey OF the
coasts of the United States primarily
for the benefit of commerce, dates
from 1892 Field work was begun the
following year under the super1ntend-
ency of Ferdinand r. Hassler, the Gel
ebrated Swedish-American engineer,
who for many years was at the head
of this important work, and who, for
two years, beginning in 1916, conduct
ed coast survey operations in the VI
cinity of New York. But 1t Is from
1882 that the present survey OF our
coasts really dates; and according to
two authorities in the railway world
it was due to a suggestion made by
the father of Whistler, the artist, that
a satisfactory base-line was found for
the present survey, which has re
suited in the accurate mapping of our
entire coast line, both east and west.
The story was originally told me
years ago by the late James D. Laying,
for many years a high placed railroad
executive both in the east and the mid
die west; and few days ago 1t was
confirmed by DR.. P. H. Dudley, the
noted railroad metallurgist, who holds

HAVE QUEER BELIEFS
Aviators Put Faith in All Sorts
of Charms.
Charles Willard, for Instance, Never
Files Without a Rabbits Foot
Given Him by His Sister-Says
IL Brings Good Luck.

If anyone thinks that aviators do
not believe in luck or omens, he
should go out TO aviation field and min
gle with the birdmen awhile, says a
writer in the Los Angeles Herald.
These kings of the air are college
trained men. Most Of them have the
pennants of Harvard, Yale, Cornell,
and other universities of the east
hanging on the walls Of their dens at
home. They are men who would
scout superstition under ordinary con-
ditions.
But flying, up to the present mo-
ment, Is not ordinary, so this accounts
for the exception to the rule. Some of
the birdmen participating in the Los
Angeles meet have queer little beliefs
I'm the matter of luck.
For instance, Charles Willard, who
recently flew from Los Angeles to
Pasadena, never goes in the air unless
a rabbits foot originally tied to the
end of his machine by his sister, Miss
Emily Willard, Is securely attached
to his craft
Willard says he would not feel safe
If he went into the air without the
rabbits foot on his machine, and con-
sequently he never goes up without it.
He says he Is confident as long as
he keeps the rabbits foot in sight,
bad luck will be held at safe dis
lance.
Walter Brookins has a queer notion
about things that he feels sure affect
his flying luck. He regards 1t as dis
tinctly an evil omen to take second
light on his cigar or cigarette. That Is,
he will not let one person light
cigar and hand the match to him. Nor
will he let one person hold match
for him while he starts smoke
To do this Brookins Is convinced
would bring bad flying luck. He at
tributes one fall to a violation OF
this rule he had laid down for him,
self
Lincoln Beachy has penchant or
the number "13" and believes 1t
gives him good luck. He always asks
for this number at aviation meets, and
always gets it, for other aviators shun
it. He has had few mishaps in avia-
ton, and has great faith in the lucky
thirteen.

Held for Investigation.

Hoke Smith of Georgia believe his
state crowns all others in it's sense OF
civic and political honesty, and he
tells this story to prove it: A wealthy
farmer named Sneads, who, though
he could neither read nor write, was
elected to the Georgia legislature, was
a power in politics because OF MS
sterling honesty. When he arrived at
Atlanta, he was invited to luncheon
at a swell hotel by another member
of the legislature. Sneads' host non
ohalantly passed him the bill of fare
sneads held it before him as if study
ing it intently. well, how does that
bill look to you?" asked the host, I'M
aware of his guests inability to read.

Responsibility of Almanac Makers.

Responsibility of Almanac Makers.
Compilers Of almanacs In France
are legally responsible for the accur.
acy Of their publications. This point
was determined in a case tried in the
days of Louis Philippe. Ouvrard,
well-known army contractor, fell into
difficulties and was severely pressed
by his creditors. According to French
law debtors cannot be arrested be-
tween sunset and sunrise.
One evening Onward sailed forth
in quest Of fresh air and was seized
by a bailiff as be stepped out of his
house. He protested, and produced
an almanac showing that it was three
minutes past sunset. The bailiff pro
duced another almanac, showing that
the sun did not set for another nine
minutes.
On his release from prison Ouvrard
sued the publisher Of the almanac
which had misled, and obtained dam,

Excavations Reveal Site of Camp
of Julius Caesar.
AiesIa, In France, the Spot Where
Great Soldier Accomplished His
Unparalleled Feat of Arms
Weapons and Coins Found.

The scene of the discoveries now
attracting universal attention In
France, is the curious, isolated Mount
Auxois In Burgundy. Here, as Is now
known beyond the possibility Of doubt,
Julius Caesar performed his most Won
derful exploit, for Mount Auxois has
been proved to be the famous Alesia
of the De Bello Calico. For half a
century the majority of historians
have been disposed to regard Mount
Auxois as probably identical with
Alesia, but the question has remain
ed open, as there were several rival
claimants, particularly Alaise in
Franche-Comte, and at times the con-
troversy has waxed warm. Now, how
ever, there can no longer be any
doubt. Recent excavations have not
only settled the question Of site, but
they have resulted in discoveries en-
tirely unexpected and of the most In
teresting character Even the name
has chung to the place, in changing
forms, for 1000 years, and 1t may be
read in that of -Sainte-Reine, a
little, picturesque, old town which
hangs high on the shoulders OF the
historic mountain. At Alesia, where
the conquest of Gaul was virtually
completed, Caesar, with an army OF
scarcely $4,000 men, held $4,000 Gauls
in grip of iron, and at the same time
and with precisely the same force beat
off and annihilated a rescuing host OF
100000.
This feat of arms, accomplished &c
centuries ago and unparalleled in the
annals of war, now rises into vivid
reality for the visitor, who crumbles
under his foot the very soil that was
cast up by the entrenching tools OF
the legendaries and grasps In his
hand the weapons that they and their
enemies fought with-swOrds, lance
heads, javelin points, buckles, and the
strange iron hooks (the stimuli of the
Commentaries which were sowed on
the ground in front of the Roman
works to catch the feet Of the assa1l-
ants. More than thousand pieces OF
bronze and silver money, which must
have been in the pockets of the COM
batants, have been found in and
around the buried fosses where the
fighting was fiercest. There is prob
ably no other known battle-ground
which makes history start into life as
does this one. Standing on the height
above, as in the gallery of a thea
ter. one has the entire scene before
the eye exactly as 1t was described
by Caesar, and 1t is no difficult feat
of imagination to see the great i'm
perator himself in his scarlet cloak,
with barred head, hurrying across the
smokeless plain amid the reverberat-
ing cheers Of his men, and by the
magic of his presence and his personal
exertion turning defeat into victory.
From that moment he was the fore
most man in all the world" And
there, too, fought Mark Anthony, the
Anthony Of Shakespeare, winning I'M
der the master soldiers eye laurels
which he was afterward to drop at
Cleopatra's feet-Garrett P. Serviss,

What Is a Gentleman?

The defendant in a case before
Judge Bacon, who objected to being
described as a gentleman, may be
commended on his refusal to be label
ed with a term which even Sir James
Murray Is shy of defining. There is
the old legal definition, "all above the
rank of a yeoman," and there Is Sir
William Blackstone's description OF a
gentleman as lone who can i've loly
and without labor" There is also the
historic definition given by witness
Of the trial of Thurtell for the murder
