is THE EARTH POUND?
Boston Post.

1t will scarcely be believed that the
question of the shape of the earth
could ever have disturbed the peace
full atmosphere of the English courts.
yet IN 1879 the question, indirectly,
indeed, did come before three learned
Judges, and the case excited a good
deal of interest and amusement. The
circumstances were as follows:
The plaintiff. one Tampden, enter
tanned the opinion that the world was
not round, and issued an advertise
ment in a paper called Scientific
Opinion challenging philosophers,
divineS and scientific professors to
prove the contrary from Scripture,
reason, or fact. He deposited S2,500
in bank. to be forfeited to anyone
who could prove to the satisfaction of
any intelligent referee that there was
such thing as a convex railway,
canal or lake.
The challenge was taken IN by no
less person than the late Professor
Alfred Russell Wallace, who proved
TO the satisfaction of the referee the
curvature to and fro of the Bedford
Level Canal between Whitney bridge
and the Welsh's dam (six miles) to
the extent of five feet, more or less,
and $4,000 was paid over to him.
But he did not keep it, The plain
tlff apparently began to see that he
was making fool of himself. and
brought an action and recovered back
his deposit on the ground that the
whole affair was wager, and there

PROI.ONGING YOUTH.

Men and women have always sought
the secret of prolonging their youth.
Queen Elizabeth tried to make herself
look young and giddy by adorning
her sCrawny features with a large
red wig about the color of an October
sunset, but she did not fool anybody.
If there is really any secret method
of perpetuating the golden days of
youth it does not consist of wearing
wigs that nestle loosely about the
ears, or in defying the eternal laws
of nature with a bottle of hair dye.
The secret of retaining youth. if such
secret really exists is entirely in
the mind Ser
If you would remain young. learn to
think young thoughts. Forget about
growing old. Learn to laugh and
play.
Proof of this is found in the theat-
rical profession, William NJ. Crane,

proximately equivalent TO the above
for adoption in such countries.
The labor delegates at Paris were
in doubt as to whether to have their
desires covered by a separate treaty,
or put into the general peace program.
President Wilson desired to carry the
league Of nations covenant through
the senate as rider, so that defeat OF
the treaty as whole would involve
postponement of formal peace with
Germany.
In the same way he probably
thought that the labor interests would
be useful in preventing defeat of the
whole schedule, to save their own
plans.
If the general treaty be delayed or
defeated by the senate, the labor pro-
gram will suffer the same fate. As a
separate matter. treaty covering the
wishes of labor might have been a
wiser undertaking.
