GIVE PLACE TO CHIMB0RAz0
Measuring From Earth's Center,
Mount Everest Is by No Means
the Highest Peak on Earth.

Probably few people could say off
hand the relative heights Of more
than half dozen of the greater
mountains, but nobody can have for
gotten that the highest of them all
is Mount Everest in the Himalayas.
Even in this region there is a good
deal of uncertainty about the heights
of peaks in the neighborhood, and
the peaks themselves are identified
by letters and numbers rather than
by names. Prof. August van Dohn
has, however, suggested another way
of comparing the heights Of the
greater mountains, which is to
measure them not from the sea
level of their latitude, but from the
center of the earth. He has had the
patience thus to calculate the geo.
centric altitude of thirty-one of the
highest mountains. Owing to the
fact that our planet bulges towards
the equator and is fattened at the
poles, a number of rather unexpect-
ed reversals take place in the hier-
archy of mountains. Thus the chief
of them all is no longer Everest,
which has to take a modest place on
the list, but Chimborazo, in the
Andes. Chimborazo is 1000 meters,
or about a mile and a quarter higher
or at any rate farther from the
earth's center-than its rival of
Asia.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
FOURIER'S FOLLY.

Charles Fourier, a French So
slalist, believed himself to be
the originator Of scheme
which would make all men hap
py. His social system was to
be organized on mathematical
basis. BY his plan humanity
was to be divided into groups OF
four hundred families, and the
groups into series, and the series
into phalanxes. Each group
would be placed under one i'm
mense roof, and the members
supplied with every appliance
of industry and art. Each indl-
viduaI should choose the occupa-
ton for which he was best
adapted, and then all work
would become pleasure. Salaries
would be abolished, and each
worker be paid enough for his
simple wants. The surplus
should be used for the general
good. There would be no
drones, for each person would
be anxious to labor for the COM
mon good. No army would be
needed, and no police, for the
world would become one great
family, we'll behaved and happy.
Communities for putting these
Ideas into practice we're started
in various countries. Thirty
four Of them were founded In
the United States, and some Of
them lasted four or five years.
Il was a beautiful dream which
did not come true.

Ball Season Opens.

A seven inning game of base
ball between the Laidlg and Wa
terfall teams, at the latter place,
marked the opening Of the bal!
season III this section, and was
also the leading event in the cele
bration of Memorial Day.
Beng the first game played by
either team for several seasons,
brilliant playing was not to be
expected. Nevertheless, many
experienced players showed skill
IN handling the ball, and several
new men, gave evidence of credl
table ability at the bat and IN the
field. No runs were scored by
either side IN the beginning, and
the result appeared uncertain.
In the third innlug, Waterfall
took the lead and by careful play
ing maintained 1t until the close
as shown by the score of 10-4
in their favor.
Several two base hits, a three
base hit aud a home run were
features of the game. Another
feature, perhaps, was the spirit
of friendly rivalry displayed dur.
ing the game, little time beng
spent IN petty arguments and
useless vulgarity.
The Waterfall team hopes to
complete It's schedule at an early
date, and teams having open dates
should communicate at once with
Manager WItter or Captain Al
loway New Grenada.
