MEASURING THE EARTH.
Erastosthenes Made the First Attempt
and Did Fairly Well.

The earliest attempt to measure the
circumference of the earth was made
by a 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 625 miles, which when null
tiplied by fifty gives $3.50 miles as
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.

Mexico's Way NTH Womsn.

Woman's place in Mexican life is the
inevitable mingling of the Moorish
ideas of the Spanish conquerors and
the savage ideas of the natives. the
Milwaukee Sentinel says. The Castil-
ian hides his wife and daughters be-
hind stone walls and the picturesque
lattices of romance, and he is their
lord and master. On the other hand,
the Indian tribes are. of course. still
bound by the spirit of the ancient saw
age customs. Historians tell Of one of
the baptismal ceremonies Of the Mesh
ic tribes. who fought their way to su-
premacy long before the Spanish ar
rived on the scene. To each boy baby
the priests chanted this command:
''Thy profession and faculty is war.
thy obligation to give the sun to drink
blood of the enemies and the earth
corpses of the foes" To the girl baby
they said with far less ceremonial:
You are to stay within the house, as
the heart does within the body Our
Lord enshrines you in that place, and
your office is to fetch and TO grind
maize in the metate."
