How About Routes By Way of North Fork
 Of Kuskokwirn

How long must the residents of Nc Gralh and adjacent localities put up with their present miserable mall serv- ice? Admittedly miserable because of the eircuitous routes mail from the Outside has to travel and the loag time it consumes in reaching it's des- tination in this section of the Kusko- kwim.
 One fact stands out plainly: If better mail service is to be secured. then other routes thau those ogsr which the mail travels at present must be aeleeted in order to adcomplish that much aesired ainn.
 Is it possible to establish new mail routes, for summer serviceAas well as during the winter seasor2
 And here is the big inicrroeation point: Is it not most probable that an open season route may be fouad hs way of the North Fork of the Kusko- kwim. and closed season route by following course practically in the same direction?
 True it is that full information re- garding such proposed routes is not .esailable at the present time. still enough is known to justify the hope that such routes can be made certain ties. A glance at your map will give the outlines.

OF variation Possibly our minds
themselves, or at least the phys
ical agents upon which their opera
tons depend, would cease to func-
tion il there were no changes In
anything; il all msgnitudes, all po-
sitions, all veIocities, all forces

a state of potential stagnation we
could not even think.
In practical affairs the degree of

In the midst of this fluctuatinS

succeeds best. He is like a boat
man standing in a frail bark tossed
on the contending waves and
among the distractions and periIs
OF a swift, plunging rapids. He
would be lost through too much
rigidity of attitude or OF action.
He cannot measure every least
variation OF direction or speed, but
he can average them all, he gets
their rate and so triumphs through
a skill that rides superior to petty
details, refining them by the law
of error, which, in the aggregate,
A striking example OF this hit

a maze of contending errors and
variations is afforded by the re-

calculating the parallaxes OF the
most remote celestial objects. BY
a system of averaging, and by TAX
ing the stars in masses and treat
ing the problem statistically, as
tronomers have recently begun 10
measure star distances through tie
aid of parallaxes based on mil
lionths of a second of arc and
these extremely minute parsllaxes
of objects many quadrillon miles
away are probebly more accurate
than the relatively large parsllsxes
hitherto known, which were as
oertained by methods more direct.

Science and Accuracy
is THERE A MATHEMATICALLY EXACT
OF ANYTHING?
BY Garrett p. Serviss-

A THOUGHTFUL reader sug-
~ gests that there Is no such
Il - thing as a mathematically
exact standard of anything, not
withstanding the claim of science
TO be based on exact measurement.
He points out that all measures OF
weight, for instance, theoretically
and practically fiuctuate since they
are based on the attractive power
of the earth. Hydrogen is dissi-
pated in space, while on the other
hand the earth receives accretions
from meteors. Thus the earth's
mass and therefore its attractive
power are varied.
SO time measurements are based
on astronomical and terrestrial
movements. all OF, which are
changeable. The tides are slowing
down the esrth's rotation on its
axis and thus lengthening the day,
and so with all other movements.
Many measurements are based on
the mean diameter of the earth
and that, too, is uncertain and
changing.
All this is true enough, and yet
II should not shake our confidence
in the conclusions OF science. We
should remember to begin with
that science itself has pointed out
and determined these very fluctua-
tions and variations that effect its
own standards of measurement. IL
it's measurements had not been car
ried to an extraordinary degree OF
ideal perfection. we should have
been ignorant OF the existence of
the fiuctuationa
By systems OF calculation based
on the law of averages II is pos
sible to arrive at conclusions and
measurements far more accurate
than could ever be attained by the
simple use OF the senses, however,
they may be aided by instrumental
devices.
The mind is finer than the hand
and sharper than eyesight and can
read between the lines and dis
criminate between things invisible
and intangible. 1t is even able to
correct its own mistakes, which
arise from sensual imperfections,
and IT lays down a law OF errors
that guides to the exact truth
amidst a wilderness of deceptions,
changes and variations, the slavish
following out of any one OF which
would lead the mind far astray.
The most powerful mathematical
instrument of science, the calculus
in it's various forms, proceeds to
accuracy through, and one may say
by virtue OF inaccuracy.
1t doesn't matter that standards
are variable IL only you can dis
cover the law of the variation.
Modern exact science rests upon
the determination OF rates OF
change No standard Is assumed
to be absolutely accurate, but the
rate and direction Of its changes
are determined, and out OF the
fluctuations issues the mean, or
average, value, which can thus be
known to a degree of certainty u1-
attainable by direct observation.
Variation is of the very essence
Of existence Life itself is a rate

An Absorbing
Romance

that she had got to bear II unless
she wanted the whole scandal 20 be
made public property; unless she
wished to be pitied and discussed
by the whole countryside.
She did not know how the time
passed as she lay there in the silent
room; she only stirred when she
heard Philips voice on the landing
outside. She started up then, trem-
bling. But he was evidently only
speaking with Cslligan, for she
heard him pass on, and then the
shutting OF a door on the other side
of the landing and silence again.
And this was her home coming!
She wondered II any other bride in
the whole world had ever had such
a reception. She sat on the side OF
the bed, twisting her wedding ring
and staring before her heart
brokenly.
She could have been so happy II
only he would have let her She
could have made him happy, too,
she was sure; but he did not want
her. She had just been a means to
an end. and now that end was ac-
complished she might go.
She looked round the room list
ic6Slys IL WAS n DtdhAllul
beautiful with an old-world sort Of
charm which is invariably associ-
ated with quaint chintzes and old
fashioned furniture.
Someone had put a bowl of white
roses on the dressing-table; she
looked at them with apathetic eyes.
The roses were a little dashed by
the heavy rain, but their fragrance
was sweet Tears filed her ewes as
she looked at them. She ha6 had
white roses in her wedding bouquet.
She thought OF the moment when
she had dashed them across the
room, trampling them under foot.
II was beginning to get light be-
fore she thought OF undressing. A
bird was twittering drowsily in
the ivy on the house when she
rose from the side OF the bed and
moved over to tho window, drawing
back the curtains.
The Washington times., 1921-07-06

The rain had ceased and a cool.
pungant scent rose from the wet
earth and dripping trees.
II was warm, too. The world
seemed like some great wonderful
hothouse filled with rare and beau
tiful scents upon which one had
just opened the closed door.
As she looked at IL and the frst
pink glow of dawn In the face OF
the. grey sky tears filled Eva's
eyes.
She had not shed one all night
but now suddenly II was borne
home TO her what a beautiful place
the world really was and how
wonderfully happy one might be
IL only She was
brought up here by a chaos OF per-
picked, jumbled thoughts.
Life had gone awry with her so
suddenly and for no apparent rea-
son; she wondered helplessly II she
herself had been to blame, and IL
So in what way.
She turned away with the teams
running down her face and crept
into bed.
And so ended the wonderful
honeymoon which had promised so
much and fulflled so little.
The next few days passed on
leaden feet: days which to Eva
seemed laden with the heavy scent
OF exotics and the sound of weep
ing; days which finally ended in
procession to the little churchyard
whittier Ralph Winterdick was fol-
lowed to his last resting place by
half the country. and a long ser
vice, during which people stared
with curious sympathy at Philip
and his wife.
And then the blinds were drawn
up once more at the Highway
House. and life went on again as IL
there were no empty chair at the
head OF the table, no empty place
in the hearts OF the dead mans life
and son.
To Eva these days had been end
less torture; she had been left to
