DEAD RECKONING.
One Way Of Determining . vesssi's
Course on IN Ocean Voyage.

One Way Of Determining . vesss!'s
Course on IN Ocean Voyage.
Dead reckoning simply means tho
computation Of ships longitude and
latitude from her movements as re-
corded in the log and without having
recourse to astronomical observations.
The chief elements from which the
reckoning is made are these:
The point Of departure-that is. the
latitude and longitude sailed from or
last determined-the course or direc.
ton sailed in as ascertained by the
compass. the rate Of sailing. measured
from time to time by the log. and the
time elapsed.
The various principles or methods
followed in arriving at the reckoning
are known among navigntors as plain
sailing and middle latitude sailing. "
However. the data thus obtained are
always liable to considerable errors by
reason of currents. ieeway. fluctuations
OF the wind and changes in the decli.
nation of the compass. The results
arrived at by dead reckoning. there
fore. must Of necessity be corrected as
often as possible by observation Of the
heavenly bodies. No navigator would
risk relying wholly on this method Of
determining his position on an ocean
voyage.-New York Times.

It, Orbit and i&s Distances Frsm the
Sun and Earth.
While the astronomers are stin de-
batting and weighing the problem of
Mars and its inhabitants few words
about the distance Of the planet from
the sun and earth may be Of interest.
The average distance Of Mars from
the sun Is l41 900. 600 miles. The dis
lance from earth to sun Is $4,000 600
miles. When sun. earth and Mars are
in line. with the sun and Mars on op-
posite sides Of the earth, Mars is said
to be in opposition" and it is then
closest to the earth. II earth and
Mars both moved In circles about the
sun the distance from earth to Mars
Mt opposition would be forty eight and
a half t141ls-0S million miles. But
neither Of the orbits Is circular, that
Of Mars being much more elliptical
than that Of the earth, with the re-
suit that at opposition Mars may be
as far away as 61,oOO.O 900 miles from
the earth when there is an unfavora.
BILE opposition, or Mars may come as
close as 100000 miles away, when
1t Is IA near rs it can possibly come
to the earth. aud its opposition is then
the most favorable possible. At such
times Mars Is brightest in the sky and
appears OF greatest size.-New York

CHANGED Her MIND.

Strategic Game In Domestic Economy
the Husband Played.
Strategy can sometimes he made as
effective in domestic economy as In
the operations Of war. by way of H.
lustration consider an instance that
recently arose in n certain city.
An ambitious young housewife there
had an opportunity to buy at great
bargain a handsome rug which she
needed. The price was only 5000, but
the owner declared that the rug was
actually worth $500. The young wo-
mans husband gently protested that
even 5000 was more than persons Of
their income could afford for a single
article Of household furnishing. but
after much persuasion he consented to
the purchase, as most husbands do in
such cases.
but this particular husband played a
wife the money to pay for the rug it
was not in currency notes Of large de-
nomination. but in the form Of 200
round. sound silver dollars. The
young woman was astounded. Until
the money was counted down dollar
by dollar she never had realized that
it would take so many to pay for that
rug. She decided to buy a sixty five
dollar rug. but declared that II the
money had been given to her in two
notes of 500 each she would have
bought the costlier one without hesita-
tion.-New York Mail.

IBSEN AS A TAILOR.
The Only HeIp He Needed Was In
Threading ths Needle.

The Only HsIp He Needed Was In
Threading tho Needle.
An interesting story Of Ibsen as a
tailor is told in Paris contemporary.
Jonas Lie, Norwegian poet, was &C.
customed to spend part of the sum-
mer at Berchtesgaden, in the Sales
burg Alps. On one of these occasions,
while sojourDing in the neighborhood,
lbsen turned up at his friends resi-
dence and asked to see Nine Lie, add
ing that they need not disturb the
poet. When madame appeared Ibsen
apologized. 1t was only a trife-a but
ton had come of. He had purchased
a needle and thread. Nine. Lie, wo-
manlike, offered to sew on the button,
but the poet would not hear of it. All
he asked was that she would aid him
by threading the needle. He had found
1t most difficult. The lady, Of course,
complied. and Ibsen went on his way
rejoicing.
Nine. Lie did not meet 1bsen again
until some days after the needle diff
Guilty was surmounted. This time he
called to see the poet. There was no
demand for an interview with the
poets wife. In the course of CONVEX
sation the lady, wishing to get her
own back" inquired somewhat satir-
ically If she could be Of any service
to her husbands friend. Could she
thread another needle for him? "A
thousand thanks, my dear madame -
replied the author of The Dolls
House." II took care when you
threaded the needle for me to make
the thread long enough to last the
whole summer. "-London Globe.

Guezlow was driving wagon full of
garden produce when the six boys
met him. He alighted from his wagon
and was struck down with a club. He
pleaded for his life on his knees, be-
cause he had a wife and baby a month

youths was to beat him into uncon-

times. The boys were arrested while
trying to sell some of the booty. All

The Origin Of Fasting.

Az is the case with all very ancient
practices. the origin Of fasting is OBJ
scure. Herbert Spencer gives Us to
understand that the custom arose out
Of the habit Of providing refreshments
for the dead. The offerings to the dead
were often made in so lavish a manner
N to involve the survivors in tempo
rary starvation. and 1t Is suggested by
Spencer that the fasting which was
at FIRST the natural and inevitable re-
suit Of the sacrifice on behalf Of the
dead. may eventually have come to be
regarded a. an indispensable con-
comltant Of all sacrifice and worship
and 20 have survived as q well estab-
llshed usage long after the original

Ssoss Of Direction In Bees,

The directive sense possessed by beef
Is the object OF research made by NJ
CASTOR BONNER Of Paris, and he seems
to have proved that bees possess q
special sense like carrier pigeons. Elk
periments showed that bees can fly
two miles to their hives even when
deprived of the organs of sight and
smell. Many scientists and among
others Dadent have always declared
that bees are guided by the sense OF
smell and that they can smell flowers
at one and II half miles. Bonnier's ex.
periments proved that bees detect
odors at only short distances.

oriain Of the Don.

1t has been supposed that the dog.
like the jackal, descended from a spe-
cial race. Examination of the skulls
Of the canidae in the museum Of the
French Academy Of Sciences shows
that nearly all Of the jackal and wolf
species differ from those Of the little
wolf Of India. The little wolf Of In
Ola Is the only wild beast possessing
the salient eyebrow or crest of the dog.
The little wolf has not only the dogs
eyebrow crest. but all the canine char
acteristics and none Of the character
istics Of the wolf. 1t is presumable
that the little wolf Of India was the
original ancestor Of the dog. The two
primitive canine races. the dog Of the
hogs and the dog OF the age Of bronze -
were domcsticated first in Asia and
were introduced into Europe from
Asia, like most Of the domestic uni
mails Of Europe.-Harper's Weekly.

professionals Of minor reputation,
lost the game to Wentworth last
Friday II to /. The visitors ex-
pected to win easily and the peo-

close game; so there was a
good crowd in attendance. But
the Coles went as all others have
done this season who have gone
before them. Outside of a
little comedy work there was
not much to the game.
Joe Hruska served the pill to
the guests and had them in bad
way all along. Whenever a
few men would get ON bases, Joe
would strike out enough batters
to retire the side. He used his
spitball effectively whenever he
wanted to. The one run the
visitors got was the result of
two errors.
Trotter, the former Kansas
twirler was knocked out of the
box in the first by a three bag
