from the eye and it will look as
large as man at distance of
two-thirds of a mile.
Everybody ought TO be able to
judge distances by this means. But
to do so you must know something
about angular measurement.
Roughly speaking, any object which
is about 81 times its own diameter
away from the eye subtends an
angle of one degree. The moon. be-
ing about ia times it's own diam
eter away, subtends an angle of
about one-half a degree. which is
the same angle that the height of
siX-foot man would subtend at
distance of 6S4 feet. Seen against
bright background a man would
be visible and recognizable as a hu-
man being by the naked eye at
distance of $500 yards. At that dis
lance his height would subtend an
angle Of about one-hfteenth of a
degree, or four minutes of angular
measure. Projected against the fun
moon at that distance he would
look like black ant Whose length
would be one-eighth of tRe moons
diameter
il you simply keep these rela
tons in mind YOU can make the
most useful estimates of distance
in every day life, For instance.
you stand on the shore of a broad
river, and see trees on the other
side. If you can make a fairly ac-
curate guess at the height of those
trees. as one generally can. and if.
with any simple device. YOU can
estimate the angle between mag
mary lines drawn from your eve
TO the foot and the top of a tree
YOU have at once the means Of cal
culating the width of the river.
Here Are Some Facts.
The facts that you should write
down in your note book are these.
Any object that appears one de
gree in diameter is about 81 times
its own height or breadth. away

AIGRETTE SEIZED
 FROM WoMAN'S TRUNK Will Not Be Pulled from Their Hats
 For the Present.

New York, Oct. 6,-The only seizure of an aigrette since the new tariff law went into effect that has come to the attention of the local customs officials was from a woman steamship pas senger's trunk and not from her hat. it. was said at the custom house to- day, instructions from Washington re- garding the interpretation of this and other features of the tariff act are being awaited
 While awaiting the receipt Of reg uIstions from the treasury depart ment," said an official the public can rest assured that customs inspectors will not pull aigrettes from womens hats. It appears that on Saturday a woman passenger who arrived here from abroad had not only an aigrette in the hat she wore, but also another in her trunk. The one in her hat was not seized The other was sent to the appraisers store. This woman, like g great many more who will ar rive here within q short time, believed that the new tariff act in no way iu terfered with the bringing in of these articles of adornment.
 Naturally there must be line drawn and we expect that the treas ury department will within a short time inform us just how to proceed in such cases. It will be our aim to enforce the law with as little in convenience to the public as possible"

Willimantic, Conn. Oct. 6.-When the polls closed at 5 o'clock this after noon the town of Windham had boiled 171S votes. an extraordinarily large number for ar off year hereabouts.

Mitchell, d. and Alphonse l.. Gelinas, r. for first selectman, the fact that Frank P. Fenton d. the present incum- bent of the office of town clerk, had to bestir himself for the first time in several elections on account of the candidacy of Herbert H. Spauldtng, r. for that office. and the contest between William A. Costello, d, and George A Bartlett r. for collector of taxes

TO DELAY PROSECUTION
 OF NEW HAVEN RAILROAD
Attorney General Ready to Hear Pro-
 posaIs from the Road.

Washington, Oct 6.-Any attempt by the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad to treat with the depart ment of justice to square New Eng lands transportation system with the terms of the Sherman anti trust law would be favorably received, it became known today by Attorney General Mc- Reynolds who would be willing to de- lay for a reasonable time the filing of the governments proposed dissolution suit to hear proposals from the road.
 The possibility of an effort being made to settle the case out of court became very apparent in the attention which the recent announcements of attitude by the New Haven have ae- tracted at the department of justice. Officials clearly were pleased with President Elliotts statement that the railroad had no desire to retain invest ments, except in conformity with law and sound public policy The present intention of the attorney general is to seek a dissolution of the road by the quickest means possible. He. be-
 neves the pressing need to be 8 speedy solution of New England's transporta- tion problems. If that end can be accomplished through negotiations in which the New Haven would meet the governments demands, it is claimed that the case may be settled by agree ment. In that event. it is possible criminal prosecutions may be avoided, although officials today were reluctant to discuss that phase of the situation.
