Proof of Convexity.
I Tbo proofs of tho convexity of the
1 earth's surface are numerous nnd
)ino of them exceedingly simple. If,
i standing on tho seashore, In a clear
day, wo view a ship leaving the coast
In any direction, tho hull or body of
tho vessel first disappears; after
1 wards tin; rigging, nnd lastly the top
of 'the highest mast vanishes from
sight. Navigators have sailed around
! the earth. Among the earliest of
those wns tho famous English sailor,
, Sir Francis Drake, who sailed from
Plymouth, England, on December lfl.
. 1577, and arrived at tho siuno plnce
on September 20. 15S0. Many other
I early navigator, by sailing in a west
erly direction, arrived at the country
they sailed from. The form of the
earth's shadow, as seen upon the moon
In an eclipse. Indicates the globular
figure of the inrth. nnd the conso
quent convexity of Its surface.
Wisdom in Old Saying.
The ancient proverb. "Shoemaker,
stick to thy lust." is said to have orlg'
Hinted In ancient Greece. The artist
Apellcs painted his pictures and placed
them by the wnysldo to hear the com
meats of passers-by. On one occasion
he heard a shoemaker criticise a shoe in
his picture as faulty, and he corrected
the error. But when the shoemaker,
noting that his advice had been ac
cepted, criticised the drawing of the
leg, Applies wns forced to cry out,
, "Shoeinnjcor, s,tlck by'ithy last," that
is, jrou may tuiiicinu m juur own qir
pnrtuient, but not otherwise.
A Scriptural Bull.
Even tho Bible Is not free from
bulls. In chapter thirty-seven of the
book of Isaiah appears the following
confusion of ideas: "Then the angel
of the Lord went forth, and smote li:
the camp of the Assyrians, a hundred
and four score and live thousand ; and
when til v arose early In the morning
behold. ;'.iey were all dead corpses."
