A BOYS MOMENT or FAME.
When Young Walter Scott Was Praised
BY Robert Burns.

From the time be was six Walter
Scott read ravenously, and it was
through his wide reading that when
only fifteen he became for few mo.
ments the center of group Of learned
men. 1t was when the poet Burns Wis
tied Edinburgh and had shown great
interest in a picture of Il soldier lying
dead in the snow with dog keeping
patient watch beside him.
Beneath the picture were some beau
tiful lines. but neither Burns nor any
of those learned men knew their au-
thor until young Walter Scott. who
happened to be present whispered
that they were by Langhorne.
Then Burns turned to him. with
glowing eyes, and said. ut is no com
mon course of reading that has taught
you this adding to his friends. This
lad will be heard Of yeti
How proud the lad felt! How wist-
fully joyful in the warmth OF the great
poets praise and then how suddenly
forgotten when only few days later
Robert Burns passed him In the street
without glance, Scott's moment Of
fame had vanished.-Ariadne Gilbert

DIAMETER or THE EARTH.
Points at Which It Is the Greatest and
the Least.


What is the greatest diameter Of the
earth? The form Of the earth is that
of fiattened spheroid. greater in d.
ameter at the equator than at the
poles, but this is modified by the ac.
cidents of its surface. so that the
diameter varies according to the point
at which 1t is measured.
1t might be expected that the diam
eter would be greatest If measured
from the top of the highest mountain.
which is Mount Everest. in the Hima.
layas, but unfortunately the point at
which the diameter would emerge on
the other side of the world is in the
Pacific ocean, where this is more than
1000 feet deep
Professor L. Henke Of Schulpferda
says the greatest diameter Of the earth
is that taken from the summit Of
Mount Chimborazo. in Ecuador, 20,13d
feet above the sea level. This, he says
energies at the antipodes on a higt
point on the north coast of Sumatra.
This diameter is 7,929.3 miles,
AS Chimborazo is almost on the equa-
tor, Its summit is that point on the
earth's surface which is most distant
from the center. There weight is
feeblest and centrifugal force greatest
The earth's smallest radius is that
from the center to the north pole, but
it is not certain that the line through
the poles is the smallest diameter, be-
cause the south pole is on high pla-
teau. 1t might be found that line a
little distant from the poles, which
would emerge at sea level at each end,
would be even shorter than the polar
diameter Such line would be found
from a point In the Arctic ocean be-
tween Spitzbergen and Greenland to a
point just off the coast OF the Antarctic
continent in the big bay overlooked by
Mount Erebus. In about 175 to 1S0 de-
