Constance Runs to Warn Tom of Possible Danger.
By Virginia Terhuoe Van de Water.
A
ccuracy
A!T AUTOMOBILE headlight of high power can be seen for 120 miles through
the telescope of a theodolite such as that nsedj by the geodetic survey.
This means is used in signaling through this section of high altitudes
and clear atmosphere, by the surveyors carrying on the very accurate work of
running base lines along the parallels of latitude and the meridians of longitude.
The United States government has surveyed more than 10,000 miles of base
lines by the method known as primary triangulation. The precision necessary
for this work is of as high an order as any known to physical science; It Is de
scribed in a recent issue of the National Geographic magazine. Inasmuch as
throughout west Texas, Arirona, and New Mexico there are many monumented
stations on mountains and in cities, connected with the most recent surveys of
this character, there is general interest in the subject The Franklin mountains
have a number of monumented peaks, and the odd shaped concrete monument
In Cleveland square is one of the important stations of the southwestern surveys.
The -usefulness of the -automobile headlight has proved itself in many in
stances where the lines joining stations are often more than100 miles long, and
some method of signaling had to be devised that would enable surveyors to keep
in touch with each other over such distances. In daylight, a jeflecring instrument
is nsed which utilizes the rays of the sun. But the service of this instrument is
limited because in daytime there are so many conflicting lights and reflections
that absolutely correct readings are difficult.
Consequently the most exact work is now done at night, and the automobile
headlight, easily transportable together with its gas tank, is used 'to signal.
Longitude is determined by the relative time of the passing of certain stars
ver an imaginary are in the sky which passes from pole to pole through the
zenith. Observers at distant points, in touch by means of the headlight signal,
flash the time of their readings of the star passages, as seen through the tele
scope, and thus the exact air line distance between two points may be determined.
Having this, it is easy to make the necessary correction to conform to the curve
of the earth.
The work of th geodetic survey is so exact that allowance is made for the
time which elapses between the brain's impression, through the eye, of the
passing of a star across the meridian, and the brain's transmission of the fact
to the motor nerves resulting in the observer touching a telegraphic key or an
electric button. It is so exact that the utmost permitted error in running a line
a mile long is 1-33d of an inch to the right or left. The greatest error permitted
in leveling work is one inch in 500 miles.
The lines on the scale of degrees on the theodolite are invisible to the naked
eye. When the operator reads the scale, he reads it three times, through three
separate microscopes of high power, each at a different angle, to guard against
possible error, and then he reads and rereads to check his own readings. Linear
distances are measured with a tape composed of an alloy of nickel and steel,
not affected by heat or cold, and stretched each time to a certain tension as
shown by a spring balance.
Every high school boy understands the principle of triangulation. Having a
base line of known length, a given point in the distance is observed from each
end of the line and the angle found. It is then easy to calculate the exact
distance of the object. This is the method osed on warships' to obtain the
correct range cf a target.
Triangulation work or other surveying in a mountainous country is made
easier by the high peaks used as stations. But in low flat country or in timber,
high towers must be erected or other means used to obtain such an elevation as
will permit observation over a wide area. In a perfectly level country an object
20 miles away could not be seen except from an elevation at least 60 feet high.
In big timber, stations are erected in tree tops, sometimes at an elevation of 200
feet or more.
Such is the extreme care taken to prevent error, that all nations accept the
determinations of the United States geodetic snryey as standard; the basis of
all astronomic measurement in the world is the geodetic survey's data upon the
exact shape apd diameter of the earth.
The machine owned by the survey and used in engraving the graduated
scales on theodolites and other instruments, is so sensitive that the room in
which it stands is kept all the time at Wood heat, so that the presence of a man
in the room will not, by causing metal to expand, affect the machine's accuracy.

THE question repeated -Itself to the
motionless girl crouching by the
open winaow. j? or wBora was
that man down there waiting? At first
her brain seemed too much dazed to
grasp more than that one on the path.
She had hardly discerned this when she
was startled by the soiAid of a cautious
step approaching, from the corner or
the house. She caught her breath with
surprise as Ralph's voice sounded, very
low. "Peter." he murmured, "is that

"Yes," sir," camefrom the waiting
figure, as It moved forward to meet the
new comer.
"I have onlr a moment, so pay at
tention to what I have to say." Ralph
ordered. "I have an important errand
to attend to as soon as possible. Hurry
back home, get my car and bring It
down to the corner of Homewood ave

out of the side crate to the nHi thn

Constance had heard enough. She
returned to her room and closed her
door. Then she stood still for a long
minute. &
There are times In. the life of many
a person when, for a brief period, one
seems almost clairvoyant almost able
to read the mind of another. This min
ute, while she stood there, -was one of
those periods in the life of Constance
Med ford. She knew although she did
not understand how she knew that
Ralph was going out alone to meet Tom
Morton. Be had heard, as she had
heard, Mr. Hale telephone to Tom, had
neara mm insist mat ne muse come to
night even If he could not get here be
fore 10 oclock. Tom's presence, at this
Juncture would mean the overthrow of
.Ralph's plans, might mean the destruc
tion of that for which, he had worked
and schemed.
If the father told the discarded lover
of the charges brought against Con
stance by Ralph Morton, Tom would
tell the truth about Ralph -driven to
this extreme righteous wrath. The
truth of Tom's friendship for her had
thrilled Constance only a little while
ago. Now it terrified her. for she ap
preciated that if the accusations
brought against her by Ralph were
repeated to Tom. Ralph would have to
bear the penalty of his foul lies.
And she also knew that Ralph knew
tnis and reared it ana would prevent.

The answer seemed to whisper It
self suddenly through the silent room:

The frightened girl started as if
stnng by a lash.
"Tom! Tom!!" she gasped. "I must
stop him.' I must warn you!
She touched the button of the elec
tric light and as the radiance flashed
forth, ran to her closet took from a
hook a long, dark cloak and threw it
around her. Snatching a black veil
from her bureau drawer she wound
this about her head. These actions
took but a moment yet as she
glanced at the -clock and, saw it was
a Quarter past nine, she shuddered.
Then, switching off the light she
stole noiselessly down the back stairs
out of the side door, and a moment
later was running down the street
toward the distant road leading from
the Fort Lee to " Homewood.

Those were very troubled days In

"American women nave had to endure

that there is a hope that no mere such

sure it Is also the opinion of other
business women."
"Grover Hayes as an opponent for a
lightweight of elass at Juarez would
prove a good drawing card," said B. F.
Tipton. "Hayes Is a big favorite with
the fans of Juarez and El Paso, due
chiefly to his clean work in the Juarez
fight with Dundee Sunday afternoon.
I am sure that if the veteran were
matched against a good boy, the card
would prove highly attractive. Ac

Hayes, the Philadelphia had not

Contrary to the usual belief, the lowest death rates are usually iound In
cities, not in rural districts. The explanation is simple: in the cities sanitation
and hygiene are more widely taught and practiced.

California has 30,000 Italians settled on orchards and vineyards. Louisiana
has large colonies of thrifty Italian sugar makers. The Italian laborer far
surpasses the negro in the cotton country. The typical Italian immigrant who
