DUTY OF A DECIMAL POINT
Tho old story whoso bunion Is "All
for tho want of a horsoahoo nail" Is
discounted by a truo story reported In
World Today npropos of the work of
the United States naval observatory,
Capt. JoBua Slocum of the Spray
Bpeaks:
"I was right In tho mlddio of jio
whoro In particular," said tho captain,
"and was working out an obhcrvatlon.
1 did It every clear day for three
years, and got safely Into ports' I was
working for, so It Is to be supposed I
knew how. Well, when 1 worked out
tills position I was 70 miles from
where I ought to hnvo been, and that
without any wind or galo or storm
or nnythlng to account for It. I know
I hadn't drifted 70 miles out of my
courso In tho last 24 hours. Either
my work was wrong, my observation
faulty or tho tables from which I
worked were wrong. But I didn't be
lieve any of them were. But I went
over them all. And It was tho table
from which I worked. There was a
misplaced decimal point It was a fly
speck I Of courso, I had to light on
that particular tablo and that, particu
lar set of figures In a book contain
ing millions of them; you can ilguro
on the chances of a man being ou that
one spot on that ono day and making
an observation at that particular hour
which would make tho use of that par
ticular sot of figures necessary! But
I was glad my work wasn't wrong."
Now, suppose that lly-speck had
been a real error? Suppose tho Spray
had been & battleship? And suppose
those 70 miles hnd meant tho differ
ence between deep water and plenty
of sea room and a rock-bound coast in
a storm? It wouldn't do to "have so
much hanging on decimal points that
way, If those decimal points wero in
tho habit of going wrong. Hence it is
that Congress maintains this institu
tion, and it Is for ''lis reason that
oxpenslvo instruments, tho wisest
of astronomers and the most careful
proofreading and computations in the
world go to the" making up of this vol
ume, on which all navigation center
ing about the United States depends.

WOMEN ARE NOT SAVAGES
(Washington Post)
Dr. Max Raff, of Clark College, Wor
cester, Is not likely to enhanco his
popularity with the fair sex by his
declaration that the women of today
aro no better, from a psychological
standpoint, than the savages of old.
This statement is so unkind, so un
generous, that some valiant defender
of the gentler six meaning the wo
men, of course should send Dr. Baff
a box of Christmas cigars.
Just because some women scratch
'and use tho poker when they are an
gry, does it mean necessarily that
they are savages? Because ono of
their instincts Is to pull tho hair of an
adversary, does it mearr that with a
little less civilization they would be
dangling scalps at their trim waist
lino? Because some of them put a
little daub of paint on their cheeks,
does it mean that they will soon re
vert to war paint? Because? they
adorn their hats with bird feathers
and their Oars with rings, does it
mean that they retalnvthe old savage
lovo of color and gowgaws?
No, ton thousand times no! Women
are fair, gentle and glorious crea
tures. What if they do scratch and
bite now and then? What if the suf
fragettes Ho attack public men In the
street? What It they do like to adorn
themselves? Tho fair sex is the very
essonco of civilization. If any proof
of this bo needed it can bo found in
tho fact that women never cat peas
with a knife. Wo insist, and we be
lievo that all savages will agree with
us, that women aro the most clvl'l.-vl
cealures of tho earth.
LONG-SPAN BRIDGES OF WORLD
The long-span concroto bridge over
the Wlssahlckon at Philadelphia is
not long to hold tho distinction of the
largest structure of tho kind. Its span
is 233 feet, and the Rocky river brldgo
of 2S0 clear span is now under con
struction at Cleveland. A brldgo hav
ing a central span of 281 has been de
signed for Spokane, to carry Mon
roe street cars across tho Spokano riv
er. A span of 285 feet has been adopt
ed to carry tho New York bargo can
al over a gorge in tho vicinity of Me
dina, N. Y. vTho 710 feet span of tho
proposed Henry Hudson memorial
brldgo at Now York City Is not likely
to,, bo built soon, but It will not cease
to bo tho subject of discussion nmong
engineers and others interested in
suchv matters. With tho oxcoptlon of
tho Henry Hudson brldgo, tho longest
single span yet proposed is that of
a brldgo recently placed under con
tract by tho civic authorities of Rome.
This will cross tho Tiber with a span
of 328 feot. Tho cost of this bridge
has been estimated at $250,000. A
brldgo comparable with it in every
respect Is now moro than half finish
ed at Auckland, N. Z. It' has a total
longth of 910 feet, and its main fea
turo la a span of 320 feot, which will
carry n 40-foot roadway at an eleva
tion of 147 feet abovo the ground.
