A STUDY IN MILEAGE
Almost Every Country Has a Stand
ard of Its Own
English speaking countries haAre four
different miles the ordinary mile of
5280 feet and the geographical or nau
tical mile of G0S3 making a differ
ence of about one seventh between the
two then there is the Scotch mile of
392S feet and the Irish mile of 0720
feet ftmr various miles every one of
which is still in use
Then almost every country has its
own standard mile The Ifomans had
their mille passuum 1000 paces which
must have been about 3000 feet in
length unless we ascribe to Caesars
legionaries great stepping capacity
The German mile of today is 24313
feet in length more than four and o
half times as long as our mile
The Dutch the Danes and the Prus
sians enjoy a mile that is 184 10 feet
long three and a Half times the length
of ours and the Swiss get more exer
cise in walking one of their miles than
we get in walking five miles for their
mile is 9153 yards long while ours Ss
only 17G0 yards The Italian mile is
only a lew feet longer than ours the
Roman mile is shorter while the Tus
can and the Turkish miles are 150
yards longer The Swedish mile is sis
and a half times and the Vienna post
mile is four and a half times the
length of the English mile Pearsons

Wonderful Monastery

which measures nearly a mile in cir

very strongly fortified being support

sists in reality of six churches which
are completely filled with statues of

the walls and the towers surrounding

This is a good scrubwoman Ill ask

paint off the floor of my kitchen and
washed the panes of two windows en

DANGER IN HIGH SPEEDS
Tile Force Developed by Swiftly
Movlnff Automobiles
Danger to drivers of automobiles
prows rapldjy greater with each new
burst o speed A correspondent of
the Scientific American develops lha
theme as follows The danger In ah
cases Increase3 as the square of the
speed Take three machines of the
same make one going five miles an
hour one twenty miles an hour and
one forty miles an hour The second
has stored up in It due to its rapidity
of motion sixteen times as much
energy as the first and if It leaves the
road and runs Into an obstacle such
as a tree a stone wall or a ditch it
will strike with sixteen times as great
force In going around a curve or
turning a corner it is sixteen times as
likely to upset skid Into the ditch or
strip a tire When the power is shut
off and the brakes applied it will go
sixteen times as far before It can be
brought to a stop If it comes upon a
pedestrian suddenly the latter will have
to exert sixteen times as much energy
J to get out of the way In time and if
struck will be struck with sixteen times
I the force The third machine will be
sixty four times as likely to get into
trouble in going around a curve as the
i first
An object going five miles an hour
is moving with the same speed as it
would have attained in falling ten
Inches In moving ten miles an Mar
It is going as fast as though it hd
fallen three and a half feet T lty
miles an hour is generally considered
a very conservative speed Now twen
ty miles an hour is the same speed
that would be obtained were the ma
chine to fall thirteen feet through the
air thirty miles an hour is equivalent
to a fall of thirty feet forty miles an
hour to a fall of fifty two feet sixty
miles an hour to a fall of 120 feet and
120 miles an hour to a fall of 4S0 feet
A person struck by an automobile
going twenty five miles an hour re
ceives the same jar as though he him
self had fallen from a height of twenty
one feet or say from a second story
window by one going forty miles an
hour as though he had fallen fifty
two feet or say from the top of a lofty
tree by one going 120 miles an hour as
though he himself had fallen from the
top of the Washington monument
BUYING VOTES
When British Electors Got Golden
Newh From the Moon
Votes have been purchased shame
lessly and on a huge scale in British
elections An arrangement was once
made in the borough of Wendover by
which two candidates were to be elect
ed after a distribution of 0000 30
000 among the voters The account
reads This being settled a gentleman
was employed to go down when he
was met according to previous ap
pointment by the electors about a mile
from the town The electors asked
the stranger where he came from He
replied From the moon They then
asked What news from the moon
He answered that he had brought from
thence C000 to be distributed among
them The electors being thus satis
fied with the golden news from the
moon chose the candidates and receiv
ed their reward
At Hindon a man dressed fantastic
ally as the dancing Punch called at the
houses of the voters and left behind
him sums of 5 to 10 guineas 25
to S50 Another device was to collect
the citizens at the inns and hand them
their reward through a hole in the
door For these offenses the house of
commons passed a resolution that Hin
don should be disfranchised but so lax
were the morals of the time the close
of the eighteenth century that the res
olution was never acted upon
Again in 1S59 the man in the moon
turned up in Wakefield He went
about openly distributing money and
did not appear to be iu the least
ashamed of his occupation At Dub
lin in 1S0S a hole in the wall served
the purpose of a distributing center for
five pound notes while at Shaftes
bury an alderman paid through a hole
in the door of his office a sum of 20
guineas S100 to each elector Chicago
News
Harlem In Jfew York
In 1G36 there was a settlement at
the foot of a little hill on Manhattan
Island which the settlers called Slang
Berge or Snake Hill but which is
now called Mount Morris As the set
tlement grew each Dutchman who liv
ed there wanted to name it after his
native town But as each one had
come from a different place in Holland
they could not agree Governor Stuy
vesant made careful inquiries and
finding that no one had come from
Haarlem he nipped all neighborly jeal
ousies in the bud by naming it Nieuw
Haarlem
Care of the Dog
Dogs vary greatly in their appetites
and occasionally we find a dainty feed
er wiio will nose over a mixed dish of
food picking out a bit here and there
and showing but little relish for what
he does eat This Is an evident sign
that something is wrong Changing
his teeth if a puppy thus disturbing
his system may be the cause and in
this case a little cooling medicine
should be given
The Worst Part
