8 Regarding the plane contest, wish
to say: am working for the school
and not for myself. The contest
closes about two weeks before my
school work in Dickinson finishes and
my grade would be no more benefited
than the other grades. There is no
instrument in the grade building and it
was planned to place this one. II we
were fortunate in getting it, in the
hall way or some central room where it
could be used for marches. drills. new
songs. etc., in the training of which
we are handicapped without a piano.
The instrument would he the property
of the school and would have no more
to do with it than any other teacher
or any tax payer in the district adv.

SHADOW OF THE MOON.
Its Rapidity Of Motion as Shown In a
Solar Eclipse.

its Rapidity Of Motion as Shown In a
Solar Eclipse.
Probably the fastest motion that man
can perceive with his eyes is that Of
the shadow of the moon across the
earth in u solar eclipse. This rate is
practically that Of the moon in its or
bit. which is about 1000 miles an hour.
This is roughly half mile second.
Now. If person were to be stationed
for some miles he could actually watch
the approach of the shadow and keep
his eye on its edge. or course the
shade would cover the whole landscape
for any one person.
From the testimony of many men
who have witnessed the phenomenon
in such circumstances it is terrible
and awe inspiring spectacle. Thus
Forbes Of Turin: Il confess it was the
most terrifying sight | ever saw. AS
always happens in the case of sudden.
silent. unexpected movements, the
spectator confounds real and relative
motion. felt almost giddy for mo-
ment, as though the massive building
under me bowed on the side of the
coming eclipse" Another view is de-
scribed by Langley: ''The bright cloud
I saw distinctly put out like candle.
The rapidity of the shadow and the in
tensity produced feeling that some
thing material was sweeping over the
earth at a speed perfectly frightful.
involuntarily listened for the rushing
noise of mighty wind"
There are, Of course. many velocities
greater than this that occur on the
earth, which, too, are measurable, such
as the speed of light. which is 10000
miles second. and the speed of MOLE
cules of hot gases. but they are not di-
rectly perceptible to the human vision.

the Old Days.
Some curious particulars Of the dan
gers 0f London streets in the old days
are given in an article on ''The Scow-
rers and the MOhOcks" in u British
magazine. The favorite practice Of the
Scowrers was to invade some tavern
In the evening, drive out the Gus
toners. Ill treat the proprietor and his
attendants. wreck the premises and.
above oil, roar" Steele tells Of the
Mohocks. one Of whose pastimes was
to ''inclose women in casks and roll
them down the street." In 1712 roy.
al proclamation was issued Offering q
reward of f10O for the apprehension Of
any MohOck.
Soon after the accession of George
w., to the throne in 1920 there was a
recrudescence. though in q milder
form. of Mohock rowdyism, and at
tacks on the watch-"boxing the Char
lies." as the phrase went-once more
became fashionable among the wilder
spirits of London. These revelries,
however. were rudely disturbed by the
establishment in 1929 by Sir Robert
Peel Of an efficient body Of police.
Yet again in early Victorian days
there was another AIohock outburst
under the auspices Of the Marquis of
Waterford. and once more knockers
and bell handles were wrenched of.
public monuments injured, lights ex-
tinguished and crockery smashed. This
form Of humor. however. was quite
wasted upon the local authorities, the
marquis being promptly knocked down
by watchman and taken up half
dead. The same authority tells US that
in the following year he and some 9th
er men Of fashion were convicted at
Derby assizes Of trying to overturn q
caravan. screwing up toll barkeeper
and painting houses and people red.
For these recreations they were fined
f1O0 apiece.

BURNING WOMEN ALIVE.
A Punishment That Was Abolished In
England In 1890.

A Punishment That Was Abolished In
England In 1890.
The horrible punishment of burning
women alive seems to have existed in
Saxon England, but perhaps only in
the case Of slaves. Under the Norman
rulers any woman, bond or free, who
killed her husband was burned alive.
and the same punishment for this
crime and also for high treason and
even for coming and other minor Of
lenses continued or arose from time
to time through the second and third
periods until it was abolished by act
of parliament in 1890, the last actual
execution Of this kind having, however.
taken place six years earlier.
The whipping Of women for various
offenses continued even later Public
whipping was not abandoned until
1917. and cases of private whipping oc-
CURED as late as 1920.
There can be no doubt, we think,
that the savage human instinct Of
cruelty had something to do with the
barbarous punishments above mention
ed. As the old Roman public longed
for the carnage of the circus. as the
Spanish populace crowded to the auto
da-fe in the fourishing days of the in
QUESTION. so the lower perhaps not
only the lower) strata Of English ma
tionality took delight in witnessing tor
lures which in all probability were de-
vised and kept up partly for their en-
tertainment. Judge Jeffreys in SEN
fencing woman to be whipped is re-
ported to have said:
"Hangman, charge you to pay par
ticular attention to this lady. Scourge
her till her blood runs down. It is
Christmas time, cold time for madam
to strip. See that you burn her shoul-
lers thoroughly" Magazine.

TWO QUEER ANIMALS.

But the Hook Tail Bear Put One ovs,
on the sidshiIl crsspsr.
Paul Smith. the famous Adirondack
guide and story teller. once met his
match. There was an Englishman.
supposedly with the proverbial Eng
lish sense Of humor, who went to
Smiths for some deer shooting. The
morning after his arrival he started
out with a gun alone. As he left the
camp Paul told him to beware Of the
'slde hill creepers."
whats q side hill creeper?' asked
the Englishman.
"Well," said Paul, Its an animal
that lives on the side Of hill, and as
its right legs are long and its left legs
short it can only run on sloping
ground. They are very ferocious, and
If one starts after you you must run
up or down hill, as on account Of its
deforuity it cannot catch you when
you do that"
The Englishman shouldered his gun
and went out About night time he re.
turned. The guide said to him, "Well,
see you lodged the creepers. all
right"
mo, met one." said the English
man.
"Yes?" said Paul. "How did you
get away from him?'
Il ran uphill" said the Englishman.
"You shouldn't have done that. You
could make better time running down
hill"
II know it," said the Englishman,
''but you see met hooked tail bear,
and I just naturally had to run up
hill"
"How's that?" asked Paul.
"Well, you know when a hooked tail
bear gets started running the only
way he can stop is to wrap his hooked
tail around tree. If had run down
hill he could have stopped, but when
l ran uphill why every time he hook
ed his tail around tree he just tum-
bled over backward. and so I got
away"
Paul owned himself beaten and
when the Englishman left refused to
accept any money for his board.-New
York Herald.

Transit of Venus.

The transits Of Venus came in pairs.
with an interval Of eight years be.
tween them. A pair occurred in 1861
and 1869 and again in 1874 and 1882.
The whole of the twentieth century
will pass without another transit. Not
until the years 1904 and 2O12 will pos
terity have the opportunity Of witness
ing it. 1t was long supposed that
transits Of Venus over the suns disk
afforded the only accurate method of
determining the distance of the sun.
but latterly the speed Of light has be-
come the more favored method for that
purpose.-New York American.
