ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
Influence Of the "Great Circle" on the
Journey to Manila.

Journey to Manila.
If you wanted to 60 from the Pana-
ma canal to Yokohama which Of these
two would be the shorter route? First,
across the ocean to Hawaii and from
there to Yokohama, or, second, up
along the coast to San Francisco and
then directly across the Pacific to Asia |?
Nearly everybody would answer in
favor of the Hawaiian route. But the
navigators tell us the journey is 266
miles shorter by way of San Francisco.
The great circle" does it. Its influ
ence on distance sends ships from San
Francisco to Manila by way of the
Aleutian islands Actually our vessels
would 60 much farther north than they
do but for the encouragement of the
United States photographic bureau at
Washington. which advises a central
route, more than 200 miles longer than
the great circle, in order to escape the
fogs and ice of the far north.
The Hawaiian Islands are frequently
described as 1.-The crossroads of the Pa
cific." Their people are naturally look
ing forward to wonderful commercial
development. They will doubtless en-
Joy substantial progress as a CONNER
cial center because many conditions in
ocean currents and in prevailing winds
and In fuel costs favor Honolulu as
way station route. But 1t is well to re-
member that these islands were plant
ed little too near the equator to be
crossroads of the north Pacific.-Bos-

or all the games 1t has been my lot
to witness the most strenuous was the
whip game l saw In British Guiana.
Before the game the women handed
around bowls OF the native drink, pal
warie."
Then the players, men and boys, lined
up In two rows facing each other. Each
carried a whip ornamented with fiber
tassels, those Of the two end players
having whistles attached.
A gentle stamping began, which grad
ually grew louder till the earth seemed
to throb.
Shouts of "Yau au!' rang along the
line, and the players waved their whips
and swayed gently backward and for
ward as they stamped.
Presently the two end men passed
down between the rows, while those
lined up moved slowly in the opposite
direction. In rotation the other pairs Of
men did likewise, and then the whistle
men ran swiftly to their original places.
The stamping increased In fury, and
the whistlers whistled at each other ia
wild excitement
They raised their whips and feigned
to lash out at each other without much
hurt.
The women ran up and down the
rows offering their calabashes of "pai-
warie," and then the real whipping be-
gan.
Two men challenged each other to a
contest. and the rows retired, still
stamping. The whippers, splendidly
built fellows, stripped save for loin
cloths, were thrilling sight as they
cautiously judged their distances. let
ting their whips just touch each others
legs.
Then one Of them stood firmly and
half turned away from the other. I'm

air and came down on his opponents

finch, but joined his whipper in a wild
sort Of dance.
Again and again he submitted to the
lash, and then 1t was the others turn.

would have called the bout draw.
Then the two whippers retired to an
hut, where they INDUCED
freely In "paiwarie," and others Of the
challenging rows took their places in
the game, which lasted until the rows
were exhausted.-Temple Manning, in

How the Roman Empire Grew.

Rome was founded $50 B. c.. the
kings were expelled 500 B. c., and 1t
was not until 300 B. c., AGO years after
the founding Of the city. that the Ro-
mans conquered their immediate neigh
bors. the Samnites. Latins. etc. 1t was
not until 266 b. c., following the defeat
Of Pyrrhus. that Rome was supreme
In Italy. from the southern boundary
of Cisalpine Gaul to the Sicilian strait.
For $50 years, from the foundation Of
the city, the Romans could stand on
the hills of their city and almost look
across their entire territory. as 1t
stretched away only some twenty miles
on either hand. After the consolidation
of their power in Italy. however, 1T
took them but $50 years to conquer the
world.

Cast and Wrought Iron.

In paper recently read before the
Society Of Chemical Industry the state
ment was made that the strength Of
cast iron was affected by the addition
of wrought iron in the following pro-
portions With 100 parts Of cast iron
ten parts Of wrought iron increase the
strength per cent; twenty parts Of
wrought iron increase the strength
80 per cent; thirty parts Of wrought
iron increase the strength GO per cent;
forty parts of wrought iron Increase
the strength only 33 per cent. The
maximum result is therefore produced
with 80 per cent wrought scrap.-In-

Remarkable Measuring.

A marvellous instrument is the COM
pound interferometer. With this in
strument it is possible to measure a
distance as small as one-twenty mil
lionth of an inch. This instrument
will In all probability be the most deli
cate measuring instrument Of its kind
for many years to come. Some idea
can be formed by the use of compari-
sons. This one-twenty millionth Of an
inch is the apparent size of the head
OF an ordinary pin viewed at dis
lance Of 227 miles, or the size Of a
dime viewed at a distance Of 1900
miles, or the size Of a human face
viewed at a distance equal to twice
the circumference Of our mother earth.

LEGEND OF THE ROBIN.



Got It's Red Breast.
When white Inen first came far
across the sea to this country they
found many birds such as they had
never seen before. But they found one
which they liked best OF all 1t had 4
pretty red breast, and they called II
robin. for Its red breast made them
think of a bird back in the old home
which they loved most Of all.
. The Indians had story about how
the robin got its red breast. They said
It happened a long time ago, when
there was only one fire in all the cold
far north.
A hunter and his son kept the fire
burning day and night until the father
fell i'll. and the son had to watch the
fire all alone. The great white bear
was waiting for a chance to put the
fire out so he could have all the north
to himself. He saw the boy fall asleep;
then he jumped on the fire with his
wet feet and put 1t out.
But a gray robin saw him. and when
he was gone she pecked about in the
ashes till she found tiny live coal
She famed 1t with her wings until it
blazed out and turned her breast red.
Then she few away to every hut in
the cold north. Wherever she touched
the ground fire sprang up. and soon
there were plenty of fires to keep the
people warm. After that the robins
breast was always red instead of gray

New One Be Born.
The whole OF the present solar sys-
tenn is ultimately to fall into the sun,
causing an explosion that may result
In a new solar system. Such is the
theory put forward by Professor Philip
Fauth, a well known astronomer.
whose reputation has rested principally
upon his researches into the conditions
on the moon.
The novel feature Of DR.. Fauth's the
DRY is that it is based upon the suppo-
sition that great part of the known
solar system, including especially the
planets Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn, are
not composed Of mineral matter at all.
but are tremendous masses of ice or
balls Of Ice surrounding a mineral kerr
mel. Furthermore, he declares, part
OF what is now known as the Milky
way is not mineral or gaseous, but "a
ring Of Ice dust" masses of particles
of ice suspended In space, the other
planets receiving a constant addition
to their ice mass from this source.
Professor Fauth declares that the
world already at some remote periods
has had similar experience, resulting
In the death Of nearly all animate ma
ture, and that all species of life as we
know it have arisen since then. Even
tually the planets swinging through
their narrow orbits will fall into the
sun, causing a new explosion and per-
haps the birth of a new solar system,

NEGRO IS ACQUITTED
FOR FLASHING GUN

Henry Reilly, a gentleman of
Ethiopian hue, was acquitted by a
jury in Justice McMurray's court at
Cherry Creek last Tuesday on the
charge of flashing an ugly looking re-
volver upon James Duval and James
Bradley.
The trail of the colored gentlemen
attracted unusual attention and a
large throng was in attendance when
an attempt was made to select a jury.
After a large number OF persons had
been disqualified for various reasons.
both sides agreed to submit the is
sues in controversy to a panel of six.
The defendant testified that he had
warned the complaining witnesses to
stay away from his camp, because he
had accused them Of taking provis-
ions away from him. He also inti-
mated that things were not safe
around his quarters, when the parties
responsible for his arrest were in the
immediate vicinity.
Il told them not to come around"
said the accused. III try anything
once. | told them that l had heard
that they were gun men. / said I've
got a gun you get one too" The de-
PENDANT acknowledge that he had a
weapon in his hand but denied hat he
ever pointed it at either Duval or
Bradley, although both of them testi-
fed that Reilly had covered them
with a pistol, and compelled them to
turn their team around and drive
down the canyon. s
District Attorney Zurich, who at
tended the hearing is dissatisfied
with the outcome of the case. He
declares that when cases of a similar
nature arise in Cherry Creek he will
ask for a change of venue to Ely.
He characterizes the outcome of the
affair as a gross miscarriage of JUS
tiee, and was greatly surprised that
a verdict of that nature was returned.
Mr.. Zurich says that Reilly has the
reputation of being a trouble maker,
and at one time was arrested in Elko
county for resisting an Office.
