Tho Scale on a Map.

Distance on a map is measured by
its SCALE By laying a rule on a gov
ernment map and ascertaining the
number Of inches between two points
the number Of miles between them can
readily be calculated. Nearly all maps
are drawn to a scale representing one,
tuo three or more miles to the inch,
as the inch is the common unit of meas
urement in the United States by which
the eye is accustomed to judge dis
tances on paper.
A scale Of 1852, 500, used in the well
known United States geological survey
typographical maps, denotes that one
inch on the map represents 62,50O
inches on the ground, which is the ap-
prOximate number of inches in mile.
Therefore the scale is, almost exactly.
one inch to one mile. A scale of
1:125,OOO is approximately two miles to
one inch, and scale of III 100000 rep.
resents sixteen miles to one inch.

When Time Huno Heavy.

Today, when there is such premium
on time, one finds it hard to realize
the condition portrayed by William
Wistar Comfort in the Bookman:
"In its day and for two or three cen
turies later The Romance of the Rose
was the most popular work composed
In medieval Europe 1t. consists of
about $4,000 eight-syllable verses in the
old French original. That forms a
very considerable poem. A poem in
two volumes would be sufficient in our
day to rebuff most readers. But think
Of copying out i'll longhand such a
poem!
Time was something to be killed by
our ancestors, and hands were found
to copy this endless poem almost 200
times. That is to say, we have near
ly 200 French manuscripts of the
Roman de la Rose and that does not
account for all those that must have
been lost in the course of 500 years.
However, the figures give us some idea
of what medieval literary popularity
was"

A Featherbed Beauty.

The quezal of Guatemala is consider
ed the most beautiful bird in the world
Its plumage vies with the rainbow and
shines with a metallic luster. Until
within the last few years it was un
known to science, mainly owing to the
fact that it is hermit among the feath-
cred creatures, delighting In the silence
of high attitudes. 1t dwells on noun
tain heights above 1000 feet in eleva-
ton. The quezal was the royal bird Of
the Aztecs, and its plumes were used to
decorate the headdresses and cloaks
of the kings of that land. It's breast is
a brilliant scarlet, while its green tail
attains a length of three feet. 1t is
about the size of the common pigeon.
1t nests in holes in rotten trees, which
it enlarges with its bill, so as to make
a roomy and comfortable residence.
The young are hatched totally devoid
of feathers.

EiIipino Women.

Women In the Philippines, from Fill
pino to Ifugao and from Kalinga to
Moro. have a lot to say about the way
things are run.
Ny first realization Of the different
status of Philippine womanhood came
on the Pacific steamer on which last
returned " the United States. A
young Filipino wanted to wrestle with
some of tba japanese on board. But
his wife was with him, and she feared
she would lose husband in the melee.
She vetoed his desire with considerable
ease and perfect effectiveness. If she
had been Chinese, Japanese or 1ndi
of the same class her husband would
have wrestled as long as he wanted to,
or could, and the woman in the case
would have kept her mouth shut. In
Turkey man doesn't mention his
daughters But in the Philippines in
several cases | have observed that the

Pantheon and Parthenon.

The Parthenon, or what is left Of it,
stands upon the Acropolis of Athens.
The most famous building on earth
was erected under the administration
Of Pericles about B. c. 442. Its present
ruinous condition was caused by the
explosion of bomb during the war
between the Venetians and Turks in
1887.
The Pantheon at Rome was built by
Agrippa in B. C. p and, unlike the
more beautiful temple at Athens, is
still In a fair state Of preservation.
The Pantheon is, of course, well worth
seeing both for it's own sake and on
account Of it's historic interest, but
it does not hold the fame belonging
to the Incompatible building on the
.Acropolis.

ENEMIES AS AN ASSET.
Without Them Nobody Ever Accom-
pIishes Anything.

No man can accomplish any great
thing without making enemies. 1t is
said man may be known by the enc
miles he makes" Observe the kind Of
enemies one makes and their reasons
for enmity. The man who makes no
enemies Is comparatively worthless.
The Bible says, "Woe unto you when
all men shall speak well Of you"
1t is not necessary to court enemies,
but If you encounter hostility in the
course Of pursuing your way honestly
and with your best judgment do not
allow it to disturb you. He who has
no enemies is not likely to have real
friends. If you would measure a mans
worth, observe his enemies. OF what
character are they? What are their
reasons for being at enmity? While
the wise man should be undaunted by
his enemy, neither should he be un-
mindful of him. Reconcile your enemy,
If possible but never fawn ON him or
cringe to him. in the hope Of making
him friend. This will win his con-
tempt.
1t is wise to look out for the enemy
who poses as a friend. He will stab
you in the back If he can or strike in
the dark.-N1ilwaukee Journal

1t is probably true that most of us
think of the navy as an adventure and
not as a career, says James B. Con-
molly in Golfers Weekly. Yet the navy
will take young man, feed and clothe
him, give him good all around train
ing and while he is yet in middle age
retire him with at least $50 a month
for the rest of his life. No matter how
low his rating has been, that SEQ a
month is certain after his thirty years
of service, while if he has shown mod
crate intelligence and ambition he can
count on close to $1OO a month, and
this without his having ever been q
commissioned officer. The years after
his retirement he may spend as he
pleases-go into business, get another
job and make another wage on top of
his pension. He can go to Jail if he
prefers. Whatever he does, always
there is that sheet anchor of a pension

PENALTY OF LIBERTY.
A Lesson John Ruskin Learned In His
Early Childhood.

In the matter of discipline John Rus
kin's mo,her was Spencerian before
Spencer. LET your penalties" says
that austere philosopher, be like the
penalties inflicted by inanimate nature,
Inevitable. The hot cinder burns a
child the first time he seizes it. 1t
burns him the second time. 1t burns
him every time, and he very soon
learns not to touch the hot cinder."
That was Mrs. Ruskin's method. To IL
lustrate her way Of teaching lessons,
Ruskin used to tell the following Incl
dent of his early childhood. which his
mother was fond Of relating.
"One evening, when l was yet In my
nurses arms, I wanted to touch the
tea urn, which was boiling merrily. 1t
was an early taste for bronzes, sup
pose, but was resolute about it. My
mother bade me keep my fingers back.

nurse would have taken me away from
the urn, but my mother said:
"Let him touch it, nurse

erty l got, and the last that for some

FIGHTING THE CLOUDS.
One of the Perils With Which an Air
man Has to Contend.

Captain &. c. Hucks. the famous air.
man, during lecture on three years
flying progress at the Royal Society Of
Arts described thrilling adventure In
a dense cloud. He was explaining the
need for some instrument which will
show an airman up In the clouds that
he Is flying on level keel.
II set out on very cloudy, windy
day to do test climb to 10000 feet on

1900 feet we got into Q dense rain
cloud, but carried on to beyond 5000
feet. still in the cloud, when the com.
pass apparently began to swing (realiy
1t Is the machine that begins swinging.
not the compass), and efforts to check
the compass had the effect of causing
1t to swing more violently in the other
direction.
"The air speed then rushed up far be
yond normal flying speed. All efforts
to pull her up checked her only slight
ly. Then the rudder was tried; back
went the air speed to zero. There was
an unusual, uncanny feeling Of being
detached from the machine, and l
knew her to be literally tumbling about
in the clouds. All efforts to settle down
again to straight flight seemed to be
unavailing until we emerged from the
cloud very nearly upside down. As
suming control again was then an easy
matter."-London Mall

Traininq Raw Recruits.

cessity for the rigid training Of re-
cruits, said:

idea that man wort be frightened

man being.
"Now, if a man can be made to bring
his rifle up to his shoulder in battle
and fire it is conceded by military au-
thorities that soldier has been made
out of him.

umph over their natural fears then you

funny stories about the effect of his

ers collected for his company in small

ton, "Do you shoot?" SO naturally that
the man was quite thrown off his guard

Importance. Like so many islands, it
had peculiar attraction for the peo-
pies of the surrounding mainlands.
They stood in awe of it, and mythology
early claimed it for it's own. Here the
Forseti, the god of justice, had tenn

tradition, the goddess Hetha, special
