Erastosthenos Made the First Attempt ’ ‘and Did Fairly Well. The earliest attempt: to- measure the circumference of the earth: was made by a Greek, Erastosthenes, who was born 276 B. C. He found that at ‘Syene the gnomon, or upright pillar, used by the Greeks to measure the Beight of the sun in the sky, showed the sun to be exactly overhead at midday at the. time of the summer solstice, while at Alexandria the gno- mon cast a shadow upon the same date, showing that the latter point was one-fiftieth of the earth’s circum- ference north of Syene. Erastosthenes reasoned correctly that the length of the shadow at Alex- andria: bore the same relation to the circumference. of the small circle de- scribed from. the top of the gnomon as a center that the distance between the two citles bore to the circumference of the globe. . This latter was 5,000 stadia, or about 625 miles, which when mul- tiplied by fifty gives 81,250 miles as the circumference of the earth. This result is' not quite .correct, but as nearly so as could be expected from the first rough attempt to estimate it. —New York Mail. Mexico’s Way With Women. ‘Woman’s place in Mexican life is the inevitable ‘- mingling - of the Moorish ideas of the Spanish conquerors and the savage ideas of the natives, the Milwaukee Sentinel says. The Castil- fan hides his wife and daughters be- hind stone walls and the picturesque lattices of. romance, and he is their lord and master. On the other hand, the Indian tribes are, of course, still bound by the spirit of the ancient sav- age customs. ; Historlans tell of one of the baptismal ceremontes of the Mesh- fe tribes, who fought their way to su- premacy long before the Spanish ar- rived on the scene. To each boy baby the priests chanted this command: “Thy profession and faculty is war, thy obligation to give the sun to drink blood of the enemies and the earth corpses of the foes.” To the girl baby they sald with far less ceremonial: “You are to stay within the house, as the heart does within the body. Our Lord enshrines you in that place, and your office is to fetch and to grind maize in the metate.” “Jokai’s Joke. At a banquet held in his honor in Tor- da, Maurus Jokai was called upon to propose the toast of “The Ladies.” He made an excellent speech, during which he continually toyed with the brown curls upon his forehead. Final- 1y he sald: “I raise my glass in honor of the graclous ladies of Torda. May they all lve until my hair grows gray.” His audience drank to the toast, but it was easy to see by the faces of the ladles present that they did not think much of the compliment. Jokal rose again from his seat and took from his head a magnificent brown wig, showing an entirely bald head beneath it. “My bair,” he added, “will never grow gray.” And the la- dles, who had not known of his bald- ness, were more than pacified. Plants Without Roots. The “fower of the air” s a curlous plant found in China and Japan. It is 80 called because it appears to have no root and is never fixed to the earth. It twines around a dry tree or sterile rock. Each shoot produces two or three flowers like a lily—white, trans- parent and odoriferous. It is capable of belng transported 600 or 700 miles, and it grows as it travels, suspended on a twig. A Fldgety Age.
