lts Motion lie Slowing, and The DAY 10
Growing Longer.
Our earth appears TO be slowing
down its spin. Two British astrono-
mers who have finished long study
Of the matter report that 1t now takes
almost exactly three seconds longer for
the world to turn over once than II
took 100 years ago, and a century
hence still another three seconds will
have been added to the day.
At this rate Shakespeare had nearly
ten seconds less in his twenty four

William the Conqueror was handicap

his descendants Julius Caesar was a
whole minute to the bad. while even
IL he had lived to old age his life would
still have been some twenty of our

Make Both Ends Meet.

Hard Work For the Middle Glasses TO
Make Both Ends Meet.
DIR. Takata. japanese minister of ed
ucatlOn, has recently published book
concerning economic conditions in ia
pan. The pinch comes harder upon the
middle classes than upon the lower
classes since the former must not only
live, but must keep up a respectable
appearance on salaries no greater than
those that men who work at trades
receive.
For example, according to DR.. Taxa
tn, a primary school teacher earns
$3.50 a month, but his lowest budget
for a family Of four reaches $17.33
His wife must do work at home to
earn the deficit A magazine editor
and writer who has q wife, two chill
dren and a maid spends $32.75 monthly
on household sundries. His earnings
are Irregular, but always below his ex-
penses. He has been compelled to Dor
row money from his wife's relatives,
and her trousseau is not unknown to
the pawnshops.
The learned author states that two.
thirds of the Tokyo doctors earn no
more than $50 month. Obviously the
professional classes Of Japan are In the
grip OF conditions that are far from en-.

"FlyIns" Americans.

Wilbur and Orvllle Wright began
their experiments with the aeroplane
fourteen years before the great con.
flict awakened Americans to the won.
derful part that aircraft was to play in
warfare. The first flight of these ia
nous brothers over the barren sand
dunes at Kitty Hawk, N. c., lasted but
twelve seconds. 1t was another Amer
lean, Glenn II. Curtiss, who made the
first successful flight in n flying boat.
He was then working on aeroplanes
for the navy and experimental with
a biplane equipped with floats Giving
this up for one with true boat body,
|straightway came success. That was
In 1911, and the first great stride to-
ward giving the American navy its
feet of fighting boats that fly followed
five years later. when congress set
aside $3,250000 for naval aircraft
alone.-F. f. Evans In st. Nicholas.

Washlnnton Monument,

The cornerstone of the Washington
monument was laid on its fine site,
which overlooks Washington, George
town, Arlington and Mount Vernon, by
President Polk July 4, 1S48. Its mar
BILE shaft rises In all the dignity Of un.
adorned simplicity to the height Of 555
feet. The base OF the shaft is fifty five
feet square, and 1t gradually tapers
until at the 800 foot point 1t has dimin-
ished to less than thirty-f1ve feet This
monument Is said to contain 1900
blocks Of marble, each two feet thick.
They were lifted on an elevator run by
steam, suspended In an inner frame
work of iron, which was built up at in
tervals, thirty or forty feet at time, In
advance of the surrounding masonry.
The aluminium capstone, nine inches
high, was set in position Dec. @, 1884,
thirty-six years and a half after the
cornerstone was laid.

THE MILITARY AVIATOR.
He Must Be Soldier, a Mechanic and
Absolutely Fearless

Absolutely Fearless.
1t takes nine months to make mill
tary aviator. The profession makes
the severest possible demand upon the
resources of the individual 1t requires
a combination of physique, of courage,
Of nerve poise, to make the expert fier,
while to do the work of an aviator In
war involves technical skill that can
hardly be characterized as short of SCI
entific.
The military flier must be a soldier,
a mechanic and O daredevil. Besides
sailing his craft and fighting his enc
mics, he must be mathematician enough
to make his observations, artist enough
to tako photographs. telegrapher enough
to operate his wireless, navigator
enough to pick his way by means Of
map and compass over unfamiliar land
scapes and resourceful enough to con-
tend With fog, with cloud and with the
thousand and one contingencies which
the hazards of the air involve. Further
more, his most difficult technical du-
ties must be performed while that ele-
ment OF the death constant with which
he always rides is augmented by the
nasty rattle Of aerial machine guns
around and above him and the zap Of
bursting anti-aircraft shells which pur-
sue him from below. No man with
the effects Of dissipation yitiating his
blood and unsettling his nerves can be
trusted with the issues of the air.
