THE FOURTH DIMENSION.
This Tells What II Is. Though You
MAY Not Quite GRASP Il.

The fourth dimension Is a property
or space quite beyond the sense per
ception of men. an abstraction derived
from the results obtained by well com
pretended processes In the higher
mathematics Certain things happen
In these computations which are in no
way susceptible Of explanation in
space restricted to the three tea chest
dimensions OF length. breadth and
thickness From sufficiently consid
cradle number of such phenomena the
theory has been evolved that space has
a fourth dimension.
In the common progress OF mathe-
nntical study the need of such trans
cendental dimension first arises In the
specific case Of that plane section OF
the cone designated the hyperbola. At
an infinite as well as in all intermedi.
ate distances Of that curve from the
point OF origin the line Is continuous
In a given direction; II now to inhnity
a single unit be added the curve comes
into view in the Numerically opposite
direction.
In this elementary demonstration the
fourth spatial dimension appears to
suggest sphericIty. but this is only the
beginning IL is still under careful ex
animation by mathematicians. Sciol

Fire, starting shortly after 2 o.

Main street caused damage to the
amount of $4,000. The origin of the
fire is not definitely known, but the
blaze is presumed TO have been start

substance with the machinery of the
picker, the ensuing spark igniting
the highly infiammable lint necessari

The mill is equipped with automa-
tic sprinklers and as soon as the tenn
perature of the room had risen suffi-

flood of water. The fire fighting out

brought into use and a general alarm

The smoke was so dense that it
was impossible for the fire fighters

necessary to wait at times in order

ENDS LIFE BY HANGING
III Health Drives Proctor Man to Sui
cidaI Act.

Proctor, Feb. 10.-John Cole com
mitted suicide by hanging at his
boarding place on North street this
forenoon.
Mr.. Cole came to this country from
Sweden about 20 years ago and has
been a resident of this village for II
years. He was employed in the mon
umental department of the Vermont
Marble company for a number of
years. He had been in poor health
for the past three years and went to
his home in Sweden last July return
ing here last fall. Since his return he
has been unable to work and has
been at the hospital for treatment
some of the time.
At noon today when the men who
board with Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Mag
munson came home for dinner they
discovered Mr. Coles body hanging
by piece of clothes line from a sew
er pipe which extended along the cell
ing of his room. This pipe was only
little over six feet from the floor
and his feet were resting on the floor
when the body was found
Mr.. Cole was 81 years old and his
only relatives in this country are
two brothers who live in Massachu-
sets
There was no evidence found indi-
eating why he committed suicide, and
it is thought that he had become des-
pondent on account of illness.

OF MEXICO
Revolutionary Leader Has Ex-
tended His Lines.
BOTH SIDES ARE WAITING
President Meders Apparently Over
awed by Artillery Strength of
Rebels.

Mexico City, Feb. 11.-Gen. Felix,
whose bold stroke Sunday almost
overthrow the Madero administration
held his army in leash yesterday.
Nor did the scattered government
forces dare to attack him in his forti-
fed positions in and about the arsen-
al. Still hoping that he might attain
complete control without further loss
of life or destruction of property, Gen
DiaZ surprised the capital by refrain
ing from turning his heavy guns up
on the national palace.
The governments position has not
been materially altered since Sunday.
although a few of Blanquet's sol
diers-not more than 500-have ar
rived, and a small detachment of ru-
rales have ridden into the city. The
forces of Gen Diaz were not material
ly augmented either, but the proxi-
nifty of the Zapatistas and the prom
Used early arrival of rebels from the
state of Vera Cruz under Gaudencio
de la Lave appear to have streng-
thened his band.
Gen. Diaz is gradually widening ;ne
zone he controls. He extended mis-
picket line yesterday afternoon.
Some of those who still have faith in
the power of the government profess
to see in the dilatoriness of Diaz a
weakness which will result In his be-
ing crushed or starved into submis
sion. Unless. however, the govern
ment is able to persuade what are un
doubtedly reluctant elements to rally
Diaz with superior artillery should
be able to resist any attack.
That peace negotiations, official
and otherwise. were in progress yes
terday became known early, but ow-
ing to the secrecy enveloping them
few outside the principals knew the
details. Excellent order prevails
throughout the city. despite the alb
sence of police. and the almost negli-
gible number of small patrols. The
people, unnerved by the fighting of
Sunday and the rumors of yesterday,
acquired the trick of lodging around
corners and accelerating their pace
when crossing streets.
All the banks remained closed
throughout the day and in the after
noon most of the shops had up heavy
wooden shutters, concealnig the glass
fronts. The streets are deserted,
even by the governments sweeping
force. and Mexico's asphalt, renown-
ed for spotlessness. was last night
Uttered with rubbish. The street car
company, sharing the fear OF the
shopkeepers and bankers that riots
might break out. have refused to re-
sumo traffic, and public hackmen are
reaping a harvest of specially imposed
tariffs.

Mr.. Scheuerle made some helpful
suggestions and outlined some pro-
gressive work for the association. He
said through the united efforts OF the
citizens the railroad company could
without doubt be prevailed upon to
erect an arc light near the station in
that village He also made a plea
for medical inspection in the public
schools, estimating conservatlVely
that at present over rs per cent OF
the pupils are physically defective
and that proper inspection is the on
ly remedy. Other valuable ideas
were brought out in his talk and
these will be considered at an ad-
journed meeting of the association
Monday evening, Feb. II.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Special Session Held to Receive Prop
ositlons from Engineers on
Street Paving.

The city council met in special SEES
sion last night and several matters OF
Importance were discussed.
Judge v. B, Hudson, representing
the railroads, presented a petition
from them praying the council to pass
an ordinance prohibiting the retail
vending from cars. The railroad COM
mission has refused to take action in
the matter, passing It up to the rail-
roads, which leaves them powerless
without such an ordinance. The ordi-
nance was passed as requested and
will be published.
! A representative Of the city school
board appeared before the council In
regard to water and sewer charges
1t seems that no definite contract has
been made between the city and the
schools for these charges, and an Ell
fort is being made to adjust the mat
ter satisfactorily to all parties.
Mr.. o. e. Gammill asked that the
