lowed a tangent formed by continuing
the level from one end would have been
more than mile up In the air at the
opposite end.
The earth rounds off about eight
inches in a mile, and the drop Of the
surface below a tangent from the
starting point increases as the square
Of the distance. Thus we have 90x9Ox
s equals $500 inches. or $500 feet.
These are the geometrical data In all
practical sighting allowances have to be
made for the effects Of atmospheric
refraction,
Proofs That Earth Is Round.
The proofs of the rotundity Of the
earth are many and various. One OF
the most striking was pointed out by
Gallileo centuries ago. 1t is the fact,
which anybody can observe, that the
shadow of the earth cast on the moon
during a lunar eclipse has a circular
outline. A very strong proof from
analogy is the observed fact that all
the other members Of the solar sys-
tem--sun. plants, moOns-are globu-
lar in shape.
We can travel round the earth and
come back again to the starting point
without ever changing our direction.
If an observer at any point on the
earth sees star in his zenith. another
observer a thousand miles away Will
see that star about Is degrees from his
zenith.
Now we know that a change Of a
thousand miles IN the position or the
observer would produce no perceptible
change in a stars place, because all
the stars are so immensely distant that
even a change of 1S6,0O0.000 miles in
the observers position only suffices to
cause a shifting OF a fraction of a
second OF arc in the place of a few
Of the nearer stars.
But the zenith observations are
easily and simply explained when we
consider that they are made from the
surface Of a globe. The location of
each Observers zenith is determined by
a straight line from the center of the
earth passing through him and ex-
goes to sea knows that vessels sink
below the horizon as they recede in
the distance. They could not do that
on a flat earth.
Even the law OF gravitation proves
that the earth must be round Under
one another the particles forming a
great body like the earth must gather
themselves into a glObular shape, be-
cause they all tend toward the center
OF their common mass. and a globe Is
the form in which the effects OF their
mutual attractions are balanced.
We see this principle at work when
molten lead falling from a shot tower
assumes the form Of a shower of little
spheres. The same is seen in the for
nation of raindrops. II a great army
ow mem could be thrown out into space
so far away that the attraction Of the
individually upon one another exceeded
any other to which they were sub
1ecteds they would drift together in a
globular mass like a cluster OF beesl
The proofs Of the earth's rotation
and Of its revolution around the sun
are equally numerous and convincing,
but they cannot be touched upon now.

one quarter mile to the Frisco station

BLAME BALKY ADDING MACHINE
COmptometer Delays Enrolment
Figures-26OO Probable.

COmptOmeter DelBys EurOlImenl
Figures[2600 Probable.
Exact figures on the University en-
rollment were not available this aft
ernoon because an adding machine
in the office of the University secre-
tary went wrong early in the day and
with a few directed mechanical mo-
tions added unwonted numbers to the
actual enrolment figures. A mechanic
is working on the machine and the
exact figures will probably be avail
able tomorrow.
However, at the Registrars office,
$500 was given as the probable en-
rollment at o'clock today, with the
probability of large addition to the
ranks of University students next
week. Those students who had lucra-
tive employment during vacation are
apparently willing to pay the ad-
ditional S. for late registration, says
Mr.. Chambers.
That the enrolment may now be
slightly less than it was last year is
the opinion of Mr.. Chambers; This
he attributes to the fact that only
three days were allowed for registra-
ton this year while four days were
permitted without the payment of the
additional fee last year. Consequent
ly, some students, on the principle
that it is as well to be hung for a
sheep as a lamb, are delaying their
entrance until next week.
Ten or twelve students a day will
be the probable record for the next
few days.

WARD HELD FOR PERJURY
Chicago MilliOnaire's Attorney In.
dicted In Morrison Case.

By United Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-After dra-
matte scene in Federal Judge Landis'
court today, during which Edward H.
Morrison, aged millionaire, faced and
gave the lie to his prosecutors, Judge
Landis ordered James R. Ward, Nor
risons former attorney, held for per-
jury under $4,000 bond. Judge Lam
dis also ordered perjury charges
against Joseph Bernstein.
Bernstein testified recently that
Morrison was the father of his two
children. He said his wife had made
death-bed confession to that effect.
Bernstein was recalled to the stand
today and repeated his story, adding
that he told Morrison of his wife's
confession at the funeral.
Morrison was called to the stand
and, pointing his finger at Bernstein
denounced him as a liar. After find
ing discrepancies in Wards testimony,
Judge Lands criticised Ward and
Bernstein severely.
Morrison adopted the Bernstein
children, Alice and Margaret, several
months ago. 1t had been testified in
court that several millions of Morri-
sons money have disappeared.
Edward Harris, formerly a stenog-
rapher of Wards and John Summers,
a jeweler, who said Morrison had
spent 100000 with him in the red
light district here, were held under
bonds of s2,5OO as witnesses.
