A DESCENDENT ROBBED

A dispatch from Bar Harbor, Me, published in the New- York Herald of yesterday, said that a daring robbery was perpetrated there on Monday

night.

At about half past seven o'clock, while the family were at dinner, robber entered Donaquc, Uie cottage of Mr. and Mrs. A. Upward Hinkle, Cincinnti, and ' carried away about 61,000 worth of Jewelry. The thief made his entrance bymeans of a porch on one side of the house and went into the rooms of Mi Hinkle, Mrs. Hinkle and Miss Ingalh remov ing Ihe Jewelry that he found ihe several bureaus. He overlooked several valuables that would havi very ^materially increased the value ol his haul. The thief was seen by Ihe young daughter of Mr*. Ingalls, but the tie girl did nor speak of the matter til the next morning, when the articles were wbadng. The stolen valuables included a gold watch, several scarf pins, pearl gold studs and cufi'buttons, chain pear! and amethyst pin, a gold pin *el with sapphires, three diamond bar pins set with pearl* and emerald* and Jewelled baby pins. Mr. Hinkle I* a grandson of the William Scbellenger, Sr., of l

May.

Appr&vrd al Cape Hay President Roosevelt ha* appointed Shipping Commissioner of the pon of Philadelphia, John J. Aogan, a Democrat, to succeed Willian Knight, Jr., a Republican ward leader who was removed on account of political activity. The appointment pleases a large number of Ca]ie May people for the reason that Mr. Hogan Is a in law of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shields of Cape May, his wife having formerly been Mire Sarah M. Shields. Commissioner Hogan I* strictly inactive in politics, but because of hi* qualifications for the position gained by fourteen years of service as deputy nunisxioner, he has become know: the shipping men as “the man wh does the work of the office.” While his position is temporary al the present time, it is believed that he will be permanently appointed In view of the fact that his civil service record and honorable tenure of office are points his favor. His Philadelphia home is Race street.

K|nk tp C|o«e Temporarily Vice Chancellor Learning allowed rule last Friday for the opening of the skating rink on Washington street, adjoining the Methodist Church, on Tuesday evening, at which time there should be a trial of the rink for its noise and the Vice Chancellor listened U himself.

THE LIMIT OF VISION. ' Row Far Can the Normal Eye See on Lend or on Seef There Is absolutely no limit to the normal vision If the sight be unobstructed. Yet we can see the store, which are trillions of miles away, a-hlle we cannot see a tree twenty miles distant. Why? It la true that all objects diminish in apparent size In a direct proportion to distance, but that Is not Uie only reason. The chief reason is that our vision Is obstructed by the curvature of the earth. A writer tu Popular Science News gives some figures to show how great this curvaIt Is often a matter of Interest liniKinmiue to know how far we from any given height or, rly. how far one must be above earth to see an object at a given distance. The exact calcnlatlon of - figures would require the use of complex formulae, but for praoUca! use two very simple rule* will The distance In miles at which object upon the surface of the earth slide Is equal to the square root of one and one-half times the height of Ue observer In feet above the surface T'.ie height In feet to i er'.er must be placed to see a distinct bjeci I* equal to two-thirds the square of the distance In miles. For Instance, e •>!>»erver Is In the rigging of 100 feet above the water, how far distant is the horizon—that could on object Boating In the water blble before being hidden by the cxlty of the earth? One and half times 100 Is 130, and the square of 130 Is approximately twelve and half; therefore the horizon twelve and one-half miles distant. the deck of smaller vessels, pleasure yachts, is rarely more than feet above the water. It follows that the limit of vision from that point less than four miles In every dlrecAn Illustration of the second rale may be given as fo'lows: A building Is tlilrty-three miles away. How high Dus I one climb In order to be able e It? As the square of the dlst equals L039 and two-thirds of numtier equals 720. it follows that we must climb a hill 720 feet high before wo are able to. see the building, even with the most powerful telescope. Usually, however, the height of the object as well ns that of the observer must be taken Into consideration, but this simply requires the duplication of the problem. For Instance, the Washington monument Is 652 feet high. At what height must an observer fifty miles away be In order to see the top of It? Supposing the observer to stand upon the ground, we find by the first rule that he could just see the top twenty-nine miles away, and to overcome the remaining twenty-one miles, doe to the convexity of the earth, he would by rule second have to climb to the height of 2M feet If we apply similar calculations to the Eiffel tower, the highest artificial struct ure la the world, we obtain some Interesting results. Assuming the height to be just 1,000 feet, we find that, standing at the top, we enjoy a circle of vision founded by a horizon thirty-nine miles distant and that if another similar tower should ever be erected It could be placed over ty-eight miles away before the rays of the electric lights on tf would be eclipsed by tbe intervening

earth.

From the summW of Mount In the Himalayas 117.000 feet), one could see nearly 200 miles, provided the air was clear enough, which would rarely be tho oase.
