Through this point a parallel and a meridian are drawn, crossing the entire country. The prod- uct of the population of a given area by its distance from the assumed par- allel {8 called a north or south mo- ment, and the product of the popula tion of the area by its distance from the assumed meridian is called an east and wost moment. In calculating north and south moments the dis- tances are measured in minutes of arc; in calculating east and west mo ments it {8 necessary to use miles on account of the unequal length of the degrecs and minutes {n different lati- tudes. The population of the country is grouped by square degrees—that is, by areas included between consecutive parallels and meridians—as they are convenient units with which to work. The population of the principal cities is then deduced from that of the re spective square degrees in which they lie and treated separately. The cen- ter of population of each square de- gree is assumed to be at its geo- graphical cénter, except where such an assumption {8 manifestly {incorrect : in these cases the position of the cen- ter of population of the square degroe is estimated as nearly as possible. The population of each square de gree north and south of the assumed parallel {8s multiplied by the distance of its center from that parallel: a sim- {lar calculation is made for the prin- cipal cities, and the sum of the north moments and the sum of the south moments are ascertained. The dif ference between these two sums, di vided by the total population of the country, gives a correction to the lati tude. In a similar manner the sums of tha east and of the west moments are ascertained and from them the correction In longitude is made. DECIDE ON FRUITS’ RIPENESS Experts Have Settled Question Which Has Long Been a Matter of Serlous Moment. When is an orange ripe? Sam has been puzzling his with this query for ily the bureau of chemistry has decided, anyway, when an orange is unripe, According to the fading, which applies both to Florida and California fruit, oranges are consid- ered ature if the juice does not contain soluble solids equal to or in 'xcess of, eight parts to every part of acid contained in the juice, the acl ity of the juice to be calculated as citric acid without water or erystallization” The applies to Florida grape fruit, except that the ratio of soluble solids to the acid must be gemen to one, ap beter, The decision was necessary bféause of the alleged practice of growers of picking the fruit green and “steaming” it yellow either in warehouses or in transit to market In many instances the fruit contained so little sugar and £0 much acid that it was injurious to digestion, especially to the digestion of children, Uncle experts some time and same Danger From Above and Below. An old lady who lived alone outside a small English village was nervous of ppeling, so she made careful {nqui- ries as to her best course. “I don’t think there's much to worry about,” replied the vicar in answer to her questions, “but, if you like, you can do as some folk are doing--sleep in the collar” With profuse thanks, the old lady went on to alter her domestic arrange ments. But in half an hour she was back again, anxiety once more wrin- kiing her brow. “The cellar's all right for Zeppe lins, sir” she said, “but suppose one o' them there submarines comes in- stead?” Mark Twain “at the Case” Mark Twain's connection with the printing Industry is Interestingly de scribed in the “American Printer,” from the days when he was an itiner- ant typesetter (his first job when his wanderings brought him to New York city, it is stated, was in the compos ing room of Gray & Green, the pre decessor of the Willlam Green cor poration, the present printers of The Outlook), to the time when he was the financial head of the firm of Charles L. Webster & Co. As a compositor he was glad to earn $5 a week; when publisher his firm paid to Mrs. Grant, from the profits on General Grant's “Meraoirs,” $450,000, Head Held In Oyster Can. No eat was ever caught tighter in a salmon can than was fifteen-months- old Hilda Knaub of Windsor, when her elder sister, Dorothy, slipped a tin oyster pafl over the baby's head in play. An offset inside the bucket held the child's hoad as in a vise. After a futile effort to get it loose, Mrs. John Knaub, mother of the children, sent for the nearest plumber, who came with his shears and cut the pail. The child was badly frightened, but unhurt. hg (Pa.)
