Mapping the United States.
Beginning nearly forty years ago to
gonstruct accurate topographic and
geologic maps of both the known and
the unexplored regions of the United
Btates, the United States geological
survey has speedily progressed with
this part of its work until topographic
maps of 40 per cent of the country are
now published, besides maps for large
areas in Alaska and Hawaii. Exten-
sive areas have also been covered by
geo logic maps, and all the work from
e beginning of the field survey to
the printing of the finished map is
done by this government bureau. Oth-
er activities of the survey are the
classification of public lands, the an-
nual collection of mineral statistics of
the United States and investigations
of the nation’s water resources, all in-
volving the publication of scientific and
technical reports containing over 20,-
000 pages annually.
During the last thirty years over
$15,000,000 has been spent by the geo-
logical survey in geologic and topo-
graphic surveys in the United States.
Seeing Distances.
About 200 miles 1. every direction is
the distance a man can see when stand-
ing on a clear day on the peak of the
highest mountain—say at a height of
26,668 feet, or a little over five miles
above the level of the sea. An ob-
server must be at a height of 6,667
feet above sea level to see objects at a
distance of a hundred miles. The dis-
tance in miles at which an object upon
the surface of the earth is visible is
equal to the square root of one and
one-half times the height of the ob-
server in feet above sea level. Some
allowance has to be made for the ef-
fect of atmospheric refraction, but as
the refraction varies at different heights
and is affected by the various states of
the weather no precisely accurate fig-
ures for general purposes can be given.
Probably from one-fourteenth to one-
tenth of the distance given by the
formula would have to be deducted
owing to the refraction of the atmos-
phere.
Caustic Criticism.
A young New York man, a member
of one of the first families as far as
‘wealth 1s concerned, had been in the
habit of writing poems, which, unable
to dispose of, he managed to get print-
ed in certain publications by paying
therefor at advertising rates. He at-
tended a social gathering at which a
cynical old fellow named Timble, who
despised the would be poet, knowing
of his manner of obtaining publicity,
chanced to be present. The rich young
man lost no chance of referring to his
“svorks,” and finally remarked, osten-
tatlously, that he was born on the same
day that Washington Irving died.

ped old Timble, “have had a very de-

What Makes a Geod Road. ~~
Everybody agrees that the surface
of a road must be oval in its contour,
says Farm and Fireside, but not all
understand that this oval ought to be
as flat as the character of the road ma-
terial and the lay of the land will per-
mit. With briek or concrete construc-
tion the oval may be very flat, because
the traffic makes no ruts to carry the
water lengthwise of the road, nor does
the pavement soften and develop de-
pressions when kept in contact with
water. But broken stone (water bound
macadam), being susceptible to pene-
tration by water and subject to great
damage if frozen while soaked, must
be given a higher oval, and for gravel
roads a still steeper pitch is demanded.
As for earth roads, the steepness
must be governed by the combined in-
fluence of a number of factors. Per
haps the leading factor is the quality
of the earth in each particular case.
And next might be placed the presence
or absence of ‘seeps” or “spouts,”
while another of these vital factors
would be the longitudinal pitch of the
highway.
Pocahontas and Mrs. Wilson.
It was on the 21st of March, old
style, in 1617, that Pocahontas, love-
liest and niost celebrated of all Indian
women, died in England, on the eve of
her projected return to her native land.
The climate of England did not agree
with Pocahontas, and she was already
in'a state of decline when she proceed-
ed to Gravesend with her husband,
John Rolfe, and her infant son, Thomas,
purposing to take passage on a ship
bound for America. She bad no sooner
reached Gravesend than she was strick-
en down with smallpox, to which she
soon succumbed.
Thomas Rolfe, the son of Pocahon-
tas, had a daughter named Jane, who,
in 1875, married Robert Bolling, a
young Englishman who had settled in
Virginia. Jane had one son, and he in
turn was the parent of one son and five
daughters. This son's great-great-
grandson was William Holcomb Boll-
ing, the father of Mrs. Woodrow Wil-
son.—New York World.
Da Vinci's “The Last Supper.”
During the last years of the fifteenth
century Leonardo da Vinci executed
for the Duke of Milan his masterpiece
of painting, “The Last Supper,” a wal!
decoration in the refectory in the mon-
astery of Santa Marla delle Grazie,
Milan. Owing chiefly to his use of
oll colors directly upon the wall, to
neglect and to vandalism, only a ruin
of the grand et remains. But,
while for purposes of study it is neces-
sary to refer to the many coples by
Da Vinci's pupils, the best of which
are those by Marco d4'Oggiono, in St.
Petersburg and in the Royal academy,
London, and to Raffaello Morghen’s
excellent print, the original alone fives
the true : though faint idea of the
i wonderful lighting and melting color.

~The Gaucheriv.of Soldiers.
Soldiers when marching at night
' through open country invariably grevi-
tate toward the left, not to the right.
{This 1s the experience of an oid sol-
-dier, who -thinks the tendency is due
to two causes: [First as the rifle is
carried in the right hand it naturally
follows that the weapon arm must be
kept free, and in case of pressure.
when in. close formation, the instinc-
tive rule is to put up the left elbow
and say, “Ease off to the left.” Sec-
ond, the soldier always steps off with
his left:feot, and, although it may be
hard to prove, there is always a slight
deviation to the left, even when a
battalion is marching in daylight to-
ward a fixed point or any other point
of support.—London Chronicle.

Transplanting Palm Trees.
It is almost impossible for even a
lettuce slip to be removed from the
spot where it has taken root without
a consequent drooping and period of
suspended growth. But nowadays
great palm trees are uprooted and car-
ried hundreds of miles from their na-
tive scil and climate with scarcely a
wilted leaf. |
The secret 6f the success of trams-
planting such trees lies in the prelim-
inary work. This is begun fully six
months before the time for the mov-
ing of the tree. First the roots are
dug around and carefully cut, and the
plant is side boxed. Three inches are
allowed between the balls of roots
and the boxing. This space is next
filled with earth, which is well tamped
down. Thus the tree is made to stand
in the box in which it is to be moved,
without lifting it from the earth. Here
it remains during the six months of
preparation. It is thoroughly mulched
and given the best of care, so as to in-
duce a plentiful side growth of roots.
At the end of the six months it may
be lifted and shipped. It will show
no signs of fatigue at the end of its
Journey, however far it may travel.—
Popular Science Monthly.
Japan's Narrow Railways.
When the railways of Japan were
firat planned the narrow gauge of three
feet six inches was selected for them,
because it was cheapest to build and
equip and was thought best suited to
the country’s narrow highways and
steep grades. Now the 6,000 miles ot
Japanese railways, all of narrow gauge,
are found to be sadly behind the times,
and a movement is on foot to rebuild
them to standard gauge, although the
cost is estimated at nearly $450,000,-
000. At present the trains are slow,
the fastest expresses making less than
thirty miles an hour; the coaches are
low and narrow, and the sleeping cars
are cramped and inconvenient, while
most of the railway inventions of oth-
er nations cannot be used because ef
the difference in track gauge and sise
of cars. The director of the =
railways favors the change, in spite of
the cost, and estimates that the maiz
Tokaido line could be converted to
broad gauge in twelve years and the
other lines on the main island of Ja-
pan within twenty-five years.—Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine.
Too Busy.
When a thing that really ought to
be done presents itself, take it and
work it out somehow without hurry
or nervousness, even though your
hands are already full. Don’t think
“I am too busy.” And, above all, don’t
say it aloud where any one can hear
you. Being too busy carries an im-
plication of fussy activity as contrast
ed with efficient effort. To be too
busy is necessarily an admission that
your job is itself too big for you or |.

Ro you are not working wisely and

So far as men are concerned, the |
warmest friendship is thar which |
exists between two fellows whose
wives have never met. A i.iend that ;
we! have known and liked for years |
has drifted away from us, and we
suppose he feels that we have drifted
away from him. We liked each other
so well that we wanted our wives to
meet and be good friends. Finally
they met, and, as might have been
expected, they cared nething in the
world for each other. In fact, one of
them said she couldn't see what on
earth anybody could find in her to ad-
mire, and we suppose the other said
about the same thing. We felt that
our friend knew what our .wife
thought of his wife, and we were a
little ashamed to be in his company.
Probably he felt the same. At any
rate, we haven't had much of anything
to do with each other since. We
speak, but no one would ever guess
that we once were bosom friends.—

Spanish krishmen.
A recent writer draws attention to
the connection which has long existed
between Ireiand and Spain. In the
days of the “Wild Geese,” when lrish-
men were carving out futures for
themselves as soldiers of fortune in
many lands, they went in large num-
bers to Spain. Then again large num-
bers of Irish men and women, many of
them belonging te well known fam-
ilies, emigrated to Spain in the early
days of the nineteenth century. All
these immigrants were adopted by the
country, and, they ‘adopted it, whole
heartedly—so whole heartedly, indeed.
that, as the writer already referred to
pointed out, hardly any of their pres-
ent representatives speak English, at
any rate as “a native tongue,” and
they have lost all touch with Irish life.
They have retained their names, how-
ever, unaltered, and in the Spanish
army list are to be found many such
names as O’Cennor, O’Neil, O'Donnell,
Shaw, and so on.—Christian Science
Monitor.
Cancer Not Hereditary.
That cancer is not inherited in man
seems to be proved by statistics col:
lected by Arthur Hunter and present
ed to the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents. Mr. Hunter investigated
the history of policy holders and found
that when both of a man’s parents bad
died of cancer only two grandparents
out of 234 had dled of this disease.
‘Among 314 sons and daughters of par-
ents both of whom had died of can-
cer he could find not one case of can-
cer. He considered only those above
the age of forty.
He found only nine cases of cancer
among 801 brothers and sisters of can-
eerous, pairs. of the 810 sons and
hters above forty in 488
‘which. one parent had died of can-
cer only three were known to have,

Gorn and Water.
- To those engaged in. the handling of
corn while in storage and in transit is
a matter of prime importance and of-
ten. a source of dispute because of
shortage reported at time of receipt
at warehouse and a further loss at
date of final sale. In order to deter-
mine the amount of shrinkage vr loss
of weight occurring in corn the de-
partment of aqricuiture conducted an
experiment with 500 bushels of shelled!
corn. At the time of storage the mols.’
ture content was 18.8 per cent and at’
close of the test 14.7 per cent, or a
loss of 4.1 per cent. The weight per
bushel had decreased from 54.7 pounds
to 50 pounds, and the total loss of!
weight was 1,970 pounds, or slightly
more than 7 per cent.

“ Joshua’, 's command to the sun and

Air a Part of the Earth.
“A balloon is sent up at New York
2ity on an absolutely calm day, remains
in the air for one hour, drifting in the
moderate currents of the upper air, and !
descends a few miles from the place !
from which it was sent up. How is it
that the place of descent is not some
spot adjacent to Chicago if the theory
of the earth’s revolution is correct?”
This problem was propounded in a
letter to the Scientific American and
received this interesting answer:
The simple answer to your inquiry |
is that the air is part of the earth and
rotates with it just as the water does.
If it did not there would be a tre-
mendous wind from the east of nearly
1,000 miles an hour at the equator and
about 550 miles in our latitude. This
is apparent if you recall the wind
which is felt when going swiftly
through still air on a car. The air is
held upon the earth by gravity and con-
stitutes a part of the revolving globe
in a very real sense.
Their Upper and Lower Worlds.
Shamanism is a name applied to the
religion of certain peoples among Finns,
Hungarians, Turks, Mongolians and
Tunguses, but chiefly those of north-
western Asia. At present Shamanism
is best represented by the practices
of the Tunguses. According to them.
there are three spiritual realms—
heavenly, earthly and subterranean.
The earthly realm is on the surface of
the earth; the other two consist of
stories above and below the earth's
surface. The good spirits live above
or on the earth; the evil below it. The
upperworld of light is composed of
seventeen such stories, or heavens; the
lower world of darkness, of seven (or
nine) hells. Above live the greatest
lords, -khans, gods, good spirits and
blessed ghosts; below, devils, demons,
and the damned. —Philadelphia Press,
Learn to Think on Your Feet.
It does not matter whether one
wants to:be a public speaker or not, a
person should have such complete gon-
trol of himself, should be go self re-
liant and self poised, that he can get

large or formidable. and express his
thoughts clearly and distinctly. In all
ages oratory has been regarded as the
highest expression of human achieve
mett. Young people, no matter what
they intend to be, whether blacksmit®™

should mate it a study. Nothing else
will eall ont what is in a man more
quickly and more effectively than the
constant oiiort to do his best in speak: ,

dertakes ‘to think on one's feet and;

Changing All the Time.
Often the change in the use or man-
ner of use of some household item
' makes a widespread change in the
sale of a lot of hardware items. For
some years rugs have been taking the
place of carpets. This means the sale
, of fewer carpet tacks, tack hammers
and carpet stretchers, but more carpet
beaters. Again the introduction of
vacuum cleaners cut down the sale of
carpet beaters.
So in like manner the present fash-
ion of hanging pictures from moldings
has about put picture nails out of busi-
ness, but largely increased the sale of
molding or picture hooks.
In somewhat similar fashion not
many foot scrapers are in use because
concrete sidewalks are so universal
Tbe growing use of food choppers
has materially decreased the sales of

Value of Skimmilk,
The department of agriculture has
| discovered that about . 17,000,000,000
gallons of skimmilk are annually
wasted in this country.
Every farmer knows that skimmilk
will fatten hogs. That proves that i¢
has a nutritional value. The food
value of milk is not entirely destroyed
by the removal of the cream and but.
ter fat. There is a lot of protein in
the residue, and this protein is good
for the human system. Some people
cannot drink whole milk; it disagrees
with them. These same people thrive.
on milk from which the cream has
been removed. The department of ag-
riculture is right in calling attention
to the fact that 17,000,000,000 gallons
of excellent food have been overlooked
in these days of high cost of living.—

The Hawalian Language. :
The language of Hawaii is very sim-
ple. To one who hears it for the first
time comes the conviction that the ab-
origines expressed their sentiments in
primitive vowel sounds, to which some
consonants have been added. Each.
vowel is sounded as in Latin, and the.
words are easily pronounced by one
who is patient and wishes to speak
distinctly. The pronunciation will be
all the better if the speaker will draw
out, almost’ drawl, the vowel sounds.
for which peason the language is well
suited to .the doleful Hawaiian wail,
