DISTANCE WALKED
IN AN HOUR
Ya WmM Hardly Think H Maa
Travelta B,M Mile.
. Have you ever thought of the dla
tttpct you travel wbeu you are out op
lit hucr't stroll? Possibly you wsJ
three miles within the hour, hut tliat
doe not by any means represent ti
distance you travel. The enrtb turn
on Its axis every tweuty-four bourn.
For the sake of round figures, we wM
call the earth's clrcuniference 24,01)0
miles, and so you must have traveled
during the hour's stroll 1,000 miles In
the axial turn of the earth.
But this la not all. The earth makes
Journey around the sun every year,
and a long but rapid trip It Is. The dis
tance of our planet from the sun we
will put at 02,000,000 miles. This Is
the radius of the earth's orbit half the
diameter of the circle, as we call It
The whole diameter la therefore 184
000,000 miles, and the circumference,
being the diameter multiplied by
8.1416, Is about 678,000,000.
This amazing distance the earth trar
els In Its yearly Journey, and dividing
It by SUA we And the dully speed about
1,680,000. Then we get the distance
you rode around the sun during your
hour's walk, divide again by twenty'
four,; and the result Is about 00,000
mll. Hut this Is not the end of your
hour's trip. , The sun, with Its entire
brood of planets, Is moving In space at
the rate of 100,000,000 miles In a year.
That Is at the rate of a little more than
4.'18,000 miles a day, or 18,250 miles an
hour.
Bo, adding your three miles of leg
travel to the hour's axial movement of
the earth, this to the earth's orbital
Journey and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you find
you have traveled In the hour 83,233
miles. .
CRUDE HOUSEKEEPING.
aeeUe Methods la England la taa
Fourteenth Century.
Carpets wore unknown luxuries, in
EngUnd In the fourteenth century, but
the fashion of strewing the apartments
with rushes was being gradually aban
doned. Bushes were still used In the
retainers' ball, but for the better rooms
weet scented herbs and fragrant twigs
were usually employed.,
Windows were apertures filled with
glass so as to admit light, but to ex
clude wind. The walls also were fre
quently bung with cloth or tapestry to
protect the inmates of the room from
the many currents of air that pene
trated the strong but badly built walls.
We learn from various ancient docu
ments that It was the duty of the serv
ing men and page to sweep out the
principal apartmeuts, but as the use
of water Is rarely mentioned dam?
and fragrant leaves and twigs must
have hided not only in collecting the
dust, but also toward refreshing the
atmosphere In such constantly closed
rooms, fresh air being only admitted
through the doors opening on to the
battlements or balconies.
From old Inventories at TburleJgh
and elsewhere we ascertain how scan
tily furnished were these ancient man
sions, although they seem to have been
abundantly supplied with flagons end
drinking cups In gold, silver and finely
engraved pewter, besides an Infinite
number of black Jacks or cups made of
leatherLondon Standard.

Many curious stories of the healing
of blindness and diseases by gems are
to be found In ancient works, and it Is
aid that the Emperor Tiieodoslus was
cured of blindness by a stone of gnrat
brilliancy which was laid on his eyes.
What this stone was history unfortu
nately does not say. The diamond,
ruby, emerald and opal were supposed
to warn the owuer of danger by chang
ing color, rilny says of the diamond
that It la not only an antidote to poi
son, but that it has the power to fnee
the mind from vain fears and to gtve
bravery. Worn In the ephod of the
high priest it determined Innocence or
guilt and was used to detect accused
persons. This gem Is dedicated to
April, and, worn by those born In that
month, Is lucky. Myerson's Magazine,
That Is Fleatr of Coal.
Every now and then some statistician
with too much liver utters figures show
ing that the world's coal supply will
lost only a few hundreds of years.
Make It many, many thousands. China
has coal to burn 400,000 square miles
of coal fields, some say. Japan has
plenty more. Kountaula hus enough
for the Balkan states if ever they stop
burning powder and one another's
houses. America's bin will be full for
centuries on centuries. Great Britain
and Germany will not be coal less soon.

CLOSING PEKING'S GATES, ,
Volar Ceremony Performed Dally at
.' ''the Chinese Capital, , .,
The closing of (he gates In Peking
Just because It goes on dally and may
apparently go on dally for centuries to
come Ih prblmbly one of the "sights"
leuHt wltni'HHccl and talked of save by
those foreigners who may have cbanc
ed to "run for It" near cloning time.
The dally performance Is marked with
due ceremony which is iinlnt and
full of. Interest to tho Intelligent 01
looker, as the closing by no nieuui
signifies the more bringing together of
the heavy Wooden doors and barring
the emperor's highway against all
comers.
At the appointed hour a preliminary
Signal Is given by a liirifo gong or iron
shield being struck with n big Iron bar
fifty times in such quick succession at
almost to defy calculation. This it
followed by a signal of loo blows re
pented In precisely the same fashion
three times. When the third aud lasi
cycle of gong strokes la entered on
number of old urn I at this season very
much bewadded and uiullled up old
"Chnrlles" start a series of discordant
yells to all and sundry to "hasten" ot
they will be shut out. This comblna'
tlou of signals Is followed by a Jos
tling stream of people In both direc
tions.
Presently the rush slackens until
only a solitary pedestrian or possibly
a man on a donkey, full tilt, n beluted
rickshaw or a heavily laden cart strug
gles through. Then a movement is
mnde with the gates, yelling bursts oul
afresh and another rush ensues, the
gates being meanwhile half closed and
occasionally opened a little way ngaln
until, tho outgoers having meanwhile
ceased, there Is a final serlmmago to
get Into the city, and the process of
closing, which has taken some half
hour In all, is concluded.
The huge iron plated doors having
clanged to, a monster Iron pole la drag
ged tip and placed across them on Iron
supports, being retained In position by
a padlock of enormous proportions
and of the well known Chinese type.
Thero are in nil nineteen gates, and the
same ceremony Ih observed at each,
but at such thoroughfares as the Ilnta

and the process Is probably proportion
ately longer. reklng Times.
CZAR PAUL'S WIG.
Aa Officer Tweaked II and Won a Bet
and Promotion.
Paul, the eccentric czar of nusslo
assassinated In 1801, was very particu
lar as to bis dress aud considered trl-
Qiug mutters as of supreme Impor
tance. This peculiarity wis once taken
advantage of by an Olllcer of the
guards, Major Vaksel, to win a bet
The major, tho wildest Joker in the ar
my, wagered several hundred rublei
that he would tweak the tall of the em
peror's wig on parade.
The very next day tho emperor hap
peued to le present at an early parade
and, as destiny ruled It, took a posi
tion for u moment immediately In front
of the darlug major. Breathless with
excitement and terror, Vaksel's com
paulons beheld that rash otllcer's right
hand steal slowly 'from his side, rlst
to the level of the czar's neck and
give the wig's banging tall a most da
elded tweak,
In an instant the emperor's face,
pule with fury, was turned upon Vak
eel's countenance., -which, however,
only rellocted an expression ot child
like Innocence, mingled with the most
deferential astonishment.
"Who dared to do that?" asked tin
enraged czar, his eyes giving flushing
evidence that his uio.! dangerous mood
was upon him.
I did, your mnJo.ty," said Vnksel
who, however his heart may have, flut
tered, managed to preserve outwardly
an uuruitled calm, together with an ex
presslon of innocent surprise. "It wai
crooked, your majesty," he added, In a
confidential undertone. "I straighten
ed It for fear the younger otUoeri
should see."
I'aul's countenance cleared at once.
lie stared fixedly, however, at Vak
sel's Innocent looking face for some
seconds. Vaksel admitted afterward
that this was the trying moment, and
be had snld to himself, "If I wavet
I'm lost!" Then the czar -;:,Ue, and
spoke so that all might hear.
"I thank you, colonel." he said.
If ever n idep in rank was gained by
the pint t effrontery It was so acquir
ed on this occasion, and Vaksel left
the field, not only promoted to a covet
ed position In the guards, but richer by
many hundred rubles as the result of
bis wager,

Tennyson predicted the day of his
death. Jtist a year before his death
friends of the poet were visiting Aid
worth House. The late Lord Sol borne
turned to Tennyson and remarked,
You ought to be happy here." "Ah,"
sighed the poet, "I have only a year
to llvef) His hearers laughed at the
remark, but It was a prophetic asset

THE LUNGS ARE LIFE;
Aa Odd Little Ee.ay oa the Sabjeet
ol Breadline.
Everything on, In and under the earth
breathes animals, minerals, vegeta
bles, etc. The tides are caused by the
breathing of the earth Itself. Tills old
globe must take two long breaths r.
day, each Inspiration requiring six
hours and each expiration the same
period of time. If Mother Earth did
not breathe she would tu all probabili
ty "bust" and blow up. When she
breathes too hard, as If In a panic, or
because of some geological excitement,
she cracks the ground and we have the
earthquake. Her ordinary respiratory
mpvemeut merely expands aud con
tracts the water volume.
Hlngularly enough, air Is the most im
portant element provided by nature.
A man can live forty-five days without I
food, several ibiva without wafer nn1 I
about three or four minutes without
air. Take away his lungs, as by pneu
monia, and death Is as certain as sin.
Does the heart beat make tho circula
tion of the blood or does the circula
tion niuke the heart beat? What
causes breathing? Does breathing
make the heart beat? Does breathing
make the circulation? Important, vi
tally Important, are these questions.
You' may remove n n"i;.'s liver, kid
neys, stomach, intestines; you may sev
er arteries and veins; you may even
stab hltn through tho heart or with
draw bis brains, and he will still live,
but take away his lung aud be Is
dead. The lungs are tho llfo'-New
