FINDING THE LONGITUDE.

How This Calenlation Is Made on a Ves- sel at Sea,

The clock used on shipboard to show the local time cannot be used for computing longitude, because the vessel changes ber meridian from day to duy on account of sailing east or west. Consequently the navigator is odliged to keep turning tue hands of the clock either ahead or back at the rate of a minute for every 15 miles of longitude sailed tu the eastward or west- ward.

It is the practice of the navigator to eal) *“*Kight bells!’’ every day when be observes the sun to cross the meridian and tu im- mediately turn the hands of the clock to 13, but as he cannot determine the neon pointexactly you will understand that the ship’s clock at its best is not perfectly re- liable. Remember that four minutes of time is equal to one whole degree, or 60 miles, of longitude.

Let us suppose that by an observation of the sun we figured out that when the alti- tude was measured the time atthe ship was 2:35 o’clock in the afternoon. Now, at the instant that the height of the sun was determined the chronometer repre- senting Greenwich time showed 6:53 o’clock p. m. Consequently the difference between the two times is proved by sub- traction:

Time at Greenwidh, 6h. 55m. p. m. Time at ship, 2h. 35m. p. m.

Difference in time, 4h. 20m.

To find the longitude of the shipit is obly necessary to convert the time into distance by the simple rule:

l hour = 15 degrees 4minutes= 1 degree 4 seconds = 1 minute

Therefore we realize that the ship js in the longitude of 65 degrees west of Green- wich. What is there to prove that the ship is in west longitude? Why, the time at Greenwich is 4 hours 20 minutes later than the time at ship, and this shows that Greenwich must lie east of us, because when it is 5 o’clock in the afternoon in England it is only noon here in New York, the sun having crossed the meridian of Greenwich five hours before it crossed ours. —Harper’s Round Table.

MR, MANDRAKE’S SETTLEMENT.

Tle Hastened to Make It After Hearing the Judge’s Revelation,

“*Judge,’’ said Mr. Mandrake, ‘‘I don’t see how it is possible for a man in your position to always avoid bias. Now, that case Which was just tried before you, for instance, struck me as being a very much mixed up affair, yet your charge to the jury sounded just as if you hadn’t heard a word of the evidence on either side.’’

‘‘Did it?’ replied Judge Scroggins. "I’m glad to hear that.’’

**Yes,’’ Mr. Mandrake went on, ‘‘and that’s what makes me wonder, for the at- torneys for the defense were so far superior to those fer the prosecution that I don’t see how it was possible for you to hear them and yet be unswerved.’’

“‘I didn’t bear them,’’ said the judge.

‘*Didn’t hear them !”’

‘‘No. That's the secret of success on the ‘ench. A judge's first duty to the public, after he assumes office, is to learn the art of pretending to listen while not doing so. Let the lawyers fool the juries, if they can, but ther arguments must never penetrate to the minds of the judges. If it were otherwise, we might as well siut up our courts at once.’’ :

“But, thas being the case,’’ said Myr, Mandrake, ‘‘why have juries at all?’’

“To satisfy the people,’’ Judge Scrog- gins explained, ‘‘and to give the lawyers achance. Without juries the folks who go to law would not believe that they were getting their money’s worth, and the law- yerg Would scop bedriyan aut of business.’’

Placing an Order For Snakes.

**Do you keep snakes?’’ she.asked ag she peered through her glasses.-at the parrots and guinea pigs in the bird store.

“*T bave a Gila monster and.some chame- leons,’’ said the bird man,

“I don’t think they would answer. You. see, what I want is a regular snake, one of 7 the long field kind that are not poisonous. I may as well tell you that my husbane» has taken to drinking, amd I want ths4 enake to put in his boots,””

“If I were you,’’ said&}the man, ‘‘¥’43 wait, and if he keeps on. @rinking he’ll S88 4 snakes anyhow.”’

*‘No, he won’t, and ke.wouldn’t care if + he did if they weren’t real,’ but if he sees-a. live snake he'll quit, smd I’m going to, try iton. Couldn’t you get me some?’’*

*“Yes’m, I can fill an.order. If you aall ; around tomorrow, you can get the snakes,’’’ and the man took dowm the address of*his 4 customer,

The Most. Learned Man.

Joneph Scaliger, the famous critic, was pronounced by Sir William Hamilton to have been the most learned man that ever lived. He possessed a prodigious store of learning, yet ha used to say of. himself that he had a bad memory, hut a good reminiscence—that is, he could: not learm, by heart so quiekly as he could wish, but; ance he knew.a thing he coulii,always xe-. call it. He eomplained, indeed, that it took him as much as 21 daysto learn the. whole of Hamer, by heart, while he took three months to learn the rest of the Greek poets, and in two years he got by beast the whole range of classicajauthors. Yet he called his memory a bad. one. —Beouse~ hold Worda..

Strictly Accurate.

“I shot a turkey once,” said the return. ed traveler, ‘‘so big that it took five men to hold him.”’

Aftez the usual expressions bad been passed round he continued:
