SPRING AND SUMMER
 SEASONS THE LONGER
South of the Equator the Warm Sea- sons Are Week Shorter
 Than Ours

The seasons of the year come and go and if any of us think of their compara- tive length at all we would say, probably, that each of them contains the same num- Der of days says the Kansas City Star. Yet the Northern Hemisphere enjoys in each year seven days more of spring and summer than the fall and winter. On the other hand the Southern Hemisphere has seven more days of fall and winter than of spring and summer. This in equality of the seasons is due to the greater rapidity with which the earth moves when it is in perihelion-that is nearest the sun it's yearly journey about its eliptieal path, as is the case each December 31.
 The lands south of the equator have a shorter summer than ours because they are nearer the sun. through the fact that the earth revolves on an axis that Is not upright, but is inclined at an angle of about 23 degrees. At the>same time, being nearer the sun, it receives in a given time more heat. so that the two differences neutralize each other
 In the matter of daylight and darkness there is also dissimilarity. We of the north have, according to astronomers, 4i64 hours of day in each year and 4296 hours at night. The Southern Hemisphere has only 4296 hours of day and 4464 of night. While the Southern Hemisphere receives as much heat in it's shorter term of daylight as we do in our greater sci- entists say that 1t will retain less heat, because it has 16s hours more of night, during which the heat is radiated off.
 It is certain that the Southern Hemis- phere is the colder, but some scientists as- sert that this Is due to the immense cu- pola of ice which exists round the south pole. Probably, however, the astronom- teal fact is itself the cause of the latter.
 If the plane of the equator correspondel exactly with that of the earth hs orbit. then 1t is evident that every day would be followed by night of equal length. In consequence, however, of the obliquity CT the elliptic, or orbit, there are only two days in the year when this is actually the case, namely, March 20 and September -3 Thus our year is divided into four well marked periods. Winter begins Decem- Der 22, which is the shortest day fin the year. and continues until March 20, which is called the spring equinox, because on it the day and night are of equal length. Spring commences then and continues until June 21 during which the days con tinue to elongate at the expense of the nights. From June 21, however which is the first day of summer, the days begin to shorten, until September 23 day and night are again equal. and we have the autumn equinox. Fall commences Sep tcmber 23 and the days continue to di- mnish until December 22, which is the shortest day, and after which they begin to lengthen.

PIPE IS
 ASPIRANT'S EMRLEN

The meek and lowly corncob pipe un- ostentatious symbol of poverty and med- tation. has been adopted by Hi Gill's friends as the emblem for his final may oralty campaign, says a Seattle, Wash, special to the New York World.
 Just as Roosevelt called on his follow CTS to display the red bandanna necker- chief by day and night just as Champ ,Clark's followers convulsed a nation with the "houn' dawg' slogan. so is Seattle to be constantly reminded by the smoking of thousands of corncob pipes that a defeat ed champion has upset all ''dope" by coming back
 The edict has gone forth from the throneroom of the friends of Hiram. He whose sympathy is branded 'Hi Gill" will puff industriously in public places at the hitherto despised corncob. No political tall5fest will be complete without the old cob.
 King Corncob will be among the arti- cles of fashionable attire worn by some of 'our" best people in public for the next few days and will eliminate much bill- board advertising. Hi and his pipe are too closely associated in the public mind for one to be recalled without the other being an immediate afterthought.
 The straw vote and It's always un- truthful results will be eliminated and hereafter he of the inquiring mind may count corncobs and register each as a. vote for Gill, permitting the non-smokers to go on the 'stay-at-home" list of 12.00O voters.

Every effort was made to keep secret the state of health of the little boy. and to prevent the world from guess Ing that 1t gave rise to uneasiness. if not to real anxiety. The child was wor- shipped by his parents, who for 10 years had been waiting for that son upon whose existence so much depended. When at last he was born he became an idol both for his father and for his mother, and indulged to such an extent that 1t mar red his temperament, converting him into a peevish, disagreeable child Every whim he had was gratified at once, and all his innumerable caprices wSre obeyed The result. as can be imagined, has been disastrous.
 Moral Training and Education
 Generally children born to exalted posi- tions are brought up with the utmost care as regards their moral training and their education. The little Tsarevitch was surrounded with the utmost vigilance, but unfortunately that vigilance was exerted only in the direction of his health and his safety. Training he receives none, and education very little.
 The Grand Duke Alexis Is now about . years old, but up to the present no tutor has been appointed him. He gets a few lessons from his mother, and OAi1C oA tWitt u Wtch u lndSIeT comes lD teach him how to read and write; but his only attendant is sailor. who fo;- lows him about everywhere and who is al the same time his nurse and his tutor and his guardian. The man Is of common birth, and though perhaps very devoted 10 his charge, yet can hardly be con sidered as the proper trainer for a fu- ture sovereign. But neither the Empero- nor the Empress think it necessary tu give their only son a tutor of appropriate rank or birth.
 From morning to night the Czarevitch Is told that his existence is so precious to his parents that no caprice of his is allowed to pass without being at once gratifed. He Is constantly impressed with his own importance, and knows very well already his rights, though he entirely ig- nores his duties. Arrogant by nature, this arrogance is fostered instead of bein : corrected. No one Is allowed to rebuke him, or even to contradict him. The Czarevitch beats his sisters, tyrannizes ,ver his servants, and whenever anyone

there are little children. The latter, so they say, love sweet words, kind looks and gentle voices. and if these are not to be found in the family into which they have been reincarnated they will close their eyes and forsake the earth till a chance offers to return again amid less quarrelsome surroundings.
 TO the ElSoi dancing IS one of the main occupations of life. With them the dance provides an outlet both for the dra- matic instinct and for religious fervor. At the new year and on all great festivi- vals the chief societies of men, women and children come up to the station to ts4s q stres of dances. The Ekoi are q polygamous people, but the chief wife, not the husband, is the head of the house. Each wife has control over her children, who almost invariably go with her if she leaves her husband, and her rights as to property are most strictly safeguarded by native law.
 MT. Talbert recounts one of the many old legends of the country. explaining tho position which woman holds At the be- ginning of things. the legend runs, the world was peopled by women only One day the earth god, Awbassi Nsi, happened by accident to kill a woman. Awbassi. sorry for the grief he had caused, of fered to give them anything they should choose out of all his possessions
 They begged him to mention what he had to give, and said they would all cry Yes when he named the thing which they wished to have. At length the list was nearly ended one thing remained to cffer, and that was a man. They shouted Yes" and catching hold of one another started dancing for joy. .sy took man, therefore, as compensation. for the fellow woman they had lost, and thus the men became the servants of women, having to work for them up to tfis day.
 The religious observances of the Ekoi are altogether a fascinating study" con- tinues MT. Talbot. Beneath many mod ern corruptions and disfigurements are to be found traces of an older, purer form of worship-traces which carry us back to the oldest known Minoan civilization and link the belief of the modern Ekoi with that of the ancient Phoenician. the Egyptian. the Roman and the Greek. In some ways, indeed, the Eioi form may be termed the most ancient of all, for where as in the oldest representations of Min oan bird and tree worship the tree has become, almost entirely conventonalized into pillar shape, and later on becomes a mere pedestal to support the bird, among the Ekoi 1t still keeps its original form that of the actual living tree. The small est town has its juju tree"

BUILT
 UPON NINETEEN HILLS

The city of Valparaiso is built upon 19 hills. like Rome upon her seven. It is one of the most curious cities in the world. says the National Magazine. Its hills rise from 3O0 to HOO feet and the city is ranged upon them, tier above tier. in sections that are separated by deep gullies. through many of which flow lively little rivers. Winding streets climb, as in Lisbon. by the aid of stairways, lifts and inclined tramways. up from the docks to the hilltops. The houses are modern, but not notable architecturally. Those of the wealthier classes are man. sions and have fine grounds. though many of the aristocratic families spend most of their time at Santiago or at sum- mer villas further south.
 Everything in Valparaiso is distinctly a part of the twentieth century restless business world. The traveller finds as many comforts though far less of luxury
