As suming that it would be possible to travel at a speed of 500 miles an hour and that the fare would be i as low as 2 cents a hundred miles, he figures that the traveler would , have to pay $5,500,000 for his tick ; et and that he would reach his des- tination in 5,839,440 years. If the traveler, however, could take pas sage on a ray of light he could make his journey in four and one-quarter years. At that rapid rate he could reach the moon in a second and a quarter, the sun in eight minutes and Neptune in four years. Overdoing It Mr. ., who was dining out, had done lavish justice to the good things before him. By way of a 1 graceful apology he remarked with ja beaming smile directed toward ! his hostess : "I've always heard, ma am, that the highest compliment one can pay the housekeeper is to eat heartily. You observe that I have been exceedingly polite." "Thank you, Mr. B.," smiled back the hostess. "Indeed, I think that you have carried politeness to the point of flattery."--New York Even ing Post. An Ancient City. Rhodes still survives, a medieval pity in all its defensive war gear of tower and curtain and keep. It is the city which the Knights of St. John erected in the midst of the Byzantines after they had been Jriven out of Jerusalem in the early fourteenth century. Probably few travelers realize how well preserved the tremendous fortifications and dwellings are. MONMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL The boys and girls of the M. H.
