A nautical knot and a nautical mile are two different things, al though they are frequently con founded by lundsmen. , The length of a nautical knot is fifty feet and eight inches, while that of a nautical mile varies from the extreme length of 6,107 feet and 10 inches to the shortest, 6,046 feet. This variation in the length of a nautical mile is due to the fact that it must conform to a line meas uring one minute of arc of the earth’s surface at sea level, and as the earth is not a perfect circle the radii differ, and so must the arc. To avoid confusion, however, the length of a standard nautical mile has been fixed by the United States coast and geodetic survey at 6,080 feet and 3$4 inches, that being the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of a true sphere, whose surface area is equal to that of the earth. The method of determining the distance sailed by a ship at sea in the early dayB of navigation was by means of a process called “ heaving a log.” The three cornered board with lead attached, so as to float on its edge that it might not be (frag ged through the water, was attach ed to a long line, and 100 feet from the log or three cornered board a knot was made in the line, and when the log was thrown into the water as the vessel sailed away from it the line was drawn out of the vessel by the log, which remained stationary in the water. As soon as the knot passed out over the rail or stern of the vessel a half minute sandglass was turned to show the time and the sand care fully watched until the last grain had dropped into the lower bulb, and the log line was then instantly stopped at the rail. The distance was measured on the line as it was hauled in from where it stopped at the rail to the knot before mention ed. As a half minute glass denoted the one hundred and twentieth part of an hour, so the log line was a one hundred and twentieth part of the distance a vessel would sail in an hour. In order to make the computa tion more easy knots were placed on the log line every one hnndred and twentieth part of a mile of 6,080 feet, which placed the knots fifty feet eight inches apart, and the number of these knots which the vessel sailed in half a minute were therefore equal to the number of miles that the vessel would sail an hour if she continued at the same rate of speed. The knot received its name from a simple knot tied in the log line and was therefore not a mile, bnt merely the one hundred and twen tieth part of one.— St. Louis Globe- Democrat. Frederic Remington’s studio was quiet. A stillness that betokens work pervaded the atmosphere, and the artist, working away at his can vas, “ The Spirit of War,” silently laid on his colors of the scorching 6un and an Indian chief, raised in his stirrups, shouting to his braves, inspiring them with courage for the fight Remington had not heard a knock at the, studio door or the entrance of an unannounced guest Nor did he realize that two sharp eyes were scanning his work with that critical examination characteristic of the man who “ knows art.” Suddenly there burst from the visitor such a shout as any Indian chief would have been proud of. Another and another shout echo ed through the studio. Remington, starting hack, dropped his brushes and palette and turned in the direc tion of the thundering voice. “ Ah, bah 1 My boy, open his mouth. Make him shout. Make him look it. Open his mouth. So— so.” And the stranger gave vent to two more shouts fit for the plains. It was Gerome, and this was his method of expression in this special case. Remington, in accordance with his advice, “ opened his mouth,” and as a result, instead of the slight ly parted lips, there is a face so full of enthusiasm, so expressive of a great heartfelt throb giving vent to a cheer, that when one sees the pic ture he is prompted to the action of Gerome, who made probably the most unusual criticism ever given on one of Remington’s best pictures.

Sir Henry Irving was accustomed to visit at the home of Miss Fris- well, author of “ In the Sixties and Seventies,” in which volume ap pears the following anecdote: “ My mother often used to point out little details that had beeq overlooked. I remember one in ‘The Bells,’ which my mother told Mr. Irving on the first night when he returned to our house to supper. People who have seen the play may remember that the first scene is a small inn and that there is supposed to have ! been a deep fall o f snow. The inn keeper, Matthias (Irving), walked i in on that jfirst night in ordinary black boots, with no snow upon them. My mother spoke of it, and afterward Matthias wore high black boots and stood on the mat while the snow was brushed off. Remarks were made in the papers as to Mr. Irving’s attention to the minutest details, and this was cited as an in stance.” Mozart's Quiok Work. On one occasion Mozart was mak ing merry with his friends at mid night when not a single note was written of the overture to “ Don Giovanni,” which was to be produc ed on the following evening. When he had said goodby to his friends he calmly went to bed and slept until 5 o’clock in the morning. Awaking refreshed, he set to work on the overture, dashing off sheet after sheet with incredible rapidity and dispatching them to the copyists. The opera was to begin at 7 in the evening, and a few minutes after that hour Mozart was in his place as conductor, baton in hand, while the parts with the ink still wet on some of them were being handed to the orchestra.
