possible answers: Geometry N useful,
you may be told, or geometry affords
excellent mental discipline. Geometry
Is useful.
Well, how useful iui«l in
what w ays? Professor David E. Smith,
professor of the teaching of mathe
matics In Teachers' college, tells us.
"Not more than 23 per cent of tlie

a ,1
distinguished
physicist
has assured uie that tbe 75 per cent of
propositions that are of no use are -ot
even needed to prove the 25 per cent
that are of some use. The teachers of
plane geometry have therefore a very
considerable task if they are going to
justify the time spent on geometry on
the ground that geometry is useful.
Nor ls their task easier if they take
the other horn of the dilemma. Sup-
pose one ilid get "mental discipline"
from geometry
Is It the sort of men-
tal discipline that life calls for and
gives?
Geometry as taught ls a deductive
science. That Is, from certain assump
tions called axioms anil postulates a
long series of propositions is developed
If the study of geometry really devel
oped that kind of thinking, whom
would it help but lawyers? For prac
tical life calls for a very different type
of thinking.
In actual life people observe, or they
should observe, and on this basis make
a limited inference which leads to ac
tion. If the action taken fails, they ob
serve further, construct other hypothe
ses and act again. It is the method of
trial on error.
I f there Is to be any mental disci
pline, ought it not to be of the type rep
resented by science rather than the
type represented by the conventional
treatment of geometry? — Abraham
Flexner In Atlantic Monthly.
Evelyn and the Simplon Pas».
The Simplon pass was a famous high-
way of travel long before Napoleon eon-
structed the highroad.
Milton came
home that way from his grand tour.
and so did John Evelyn. The latter
traveler went in fear of his life, not
only expecting avalanches to fall on
him, but being apprehensive lest bears
and wolves should assail him. The
only actual harm which happened,
however, was that his companion's
dog killed a goat belonging to one
of the peasants and that heavy com
pensation hud to be paid—"a pistole,"
says the diary, "for the goat and ten
more for attempting to ride away."

Both air atid water are Clod's free

MONSTER BLUE WHALES.
The
Most Gigantic Creatures This
World Has Ever Known.
It has beeu said that tbe first duty of
a whale Is to be large. The blue whala
ls then tbe most successful whale, for
it is the largest creature which has
ever existed on the earth or In Its
waters. Even those extinct gi ,Dt rep

Wyoming and Montana 3,000,000 years

1“ whale
1 1 was weighed In
sections at Newfoundland. The animal
Was seventy-eight feet long, thirty-five
feet around the shoulders, the head
was nineteen feet In length and the
tail sixteen feet from tip to tip. The
total weight was sixty-three tons. Tbe
flesh weighed forty tons, the blub
ber eight tons, the blood, viscera and
baleen seven tons and the bones eight
tons.
Exaggerated accounts of the size of
blue whales are current even In repu
table hooks on natural history, but the
largest specimen which has yet been
actually measured and recorded ls
187 feet long, stranded a few years ago
upon the coast of New Zealand. It
must have weighed at least seventy-
five tons.
Whales are able to attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by tbe water In which they
live. A bird Is limited to tbe weight
which Its wings can bear up In the air.
