in learning how to run his elevator.
The second day he is so delighted
with his position that he makes every
effort to give all the information asked
Of him.
The third day he gets his uniform
and begins accustomlng himself to
telling the passengers to step lively.
The fourth day he learns how to
advise anxious inquirers to look at the
bulletin board or ask the starter.
The fifth day he Is so thoroughly
versed In the duties Of his position
that he can run the car past people
who are yelling Down. or "Upv' and

AN HOURS WALK.
You Would Hardly Think II Meant
TRAVELLING 1928 Miles.

Travelling 1928 Miles.
. Have you ever thought Of the dis
lance you travel when you are out
on an hours stroll? Possibly you
walk three miles within the hour, but
that does not by any means represent
the distance you travel. The earth
turns on its axis every twenty-four
hours. For the sake OF round figures.
we will call the earth's circumference
$4,000 miles. and so you must have
Travelled during the hours stroll 1000
miles in the axial turn Of the earth.
But this Is not all. The earth makes
a journey around the sun every year,
and long but rapid trip 1t Is. The
distance OF our planet from the sun
we will put at 92.OOO.O0O miles. This
Is the radius OF the earth's orbit-half
the diameter OF the circle. as we call
1t. The whole diameter Is therefore
1874 100000 miles, and the circumfer-
ence. being the diameter multiplied by
3141G. Is about 579,OOOOOO.
This amazing distance the earth tray
els In Its yearly journey. and dividing
1t by 385 we find the daily speed about
1.5S6OOO Then We get the distance
you rode around the sun during your
hours walk. divide again by twenty
four. and the result Is about $4,000
miles. But this Is not the end Of your
hours trip. The sun, with Its entire
brood OF planets. Is moving In space
at the rate OF 1GO,OOOO0O miles In
year That Is at the rate OF little
more than 43S.OOO miles day. or 49,
$50 miles an hour
so, adding your three miles Of leg
travel to the hours axial movement Of
the earth. this to the earth's orbital
Journey and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you find
you have travelled In the hour 1928
miles.

CHEERFUL MENDELSSOHN.

the Boy Joachim.
The art of good conducting began
with Mendelssohn. The Leipzig Ge

chestra to him. He was a hard task
master. but. according to the words of
Joachim. he earned the good will and
respect Of his men by his thorough
knowledge. says the Music Magazine
He was sane and rational. preferring
cheerful mood TO gloom. Johann
Kruse, formerly second violiniSt OF the
Joachim quartet. once told Il little sto
ry OF Memberships conducting in Lon
don, where he was always a favorite.
"Mendelssohn was to bring out the
boy Joachim. then about twelve or
fourteen years OF age" he said. AT
that time Joachim played Bach and
Beethoven like a master He began to
rehearse the Mendelssohn concert with
the orchestra when suddenly with boy
ish impetuosity he turned to the con-
ductor and said. Herr Mendelssohn. l
am sure there is mistake in the or
