Schiaparelli, the astronomer who first discovered the so called “canals” of Mars, did so with a much smaller tele- scope than those in use in many other observatories at that time. And yet he is a very nearsighted man. Garrett P. Serviss of Brooklyn, in speaking of his ‘ first interview with the eminent Italian, said that Schiaparelli would hold 8. via»- itor’s card within five or six inches of his eyes in order to decipher it. The aim. gular part of this story is not that a man with such an infirmity should be able to outdo other astronomers, for keenness of vision depends rather upon the retina than the convexity of the lenses of the eye, and the eyepiece of a telescope can be foousscd so as to suit the latter. But it does seem :3. little odd that the gifted scientist in question should habitually refrain from wearing eyeglasses. Possibly he has a theory as to the effect or" their use upon his visual powers. The “’ey to Eat Candy. I think much of the outcry against candy is the result of wrong methods of use. It can often be safely taken at meal time with good results. Scientists say that the food value of sugar is very great. A pound of sugar contains much more energy and power to support ani- mal life than apound of meat. If candy is taken under such conditions that it will not derange the digestive apparatus, it is perfectly wise and rational to be a. candy eaten—Annals of Hygiene.

On Feb. 1, in latitude 66 degrees, longitude 172 degrees 31 minutes, we ran into open water again, having this time spent only six days in the ice pack. On the *17th the aurora appeared, stron- ger than I ever saw it in the north. It rose from the southwest, stretching in a broad stream up toward the zenith and down again toward the eastern hor- izon. The phenomenon this time had quite a different appearance from what we saw on Oct. 20. It now presented long shining curtains rising and falling in wonderful shapes and shades, some- times seemingly close down to our, mast- heads. It evidently exerted considerable influence upon the magnetic needle of our compass—C. E. Borohgrevink in Century. 9W, . V!“ C, \ Kentucky’s Senatorial Fight.

Some Comparisons That Afford a. Concep tion of the Orb’s Immensity. Ponder also upon the stupendous size of thatyorb, which glows at every point of its surface with the astonishing fer- vor I have indicated, writes Sir Bob- ert Ball in McClure’s Magazine. The earth on which we stand is no doubt a mighty globe, measuring as it does 8,000 mlies in diameter; yet what are its dimensions in comparison with those of the sun? If the earth be rep- resented by a grain of mustard seed, then on the same scale the sun should be represented by a. cocounut. Per- haps, however, a. more impressive con— ception of the dimensions of the great orb of day may be obtained in this way. Think of the moon, the queen of the night, which circles monthly around our heavens, pursiding as she does, a. majestic track, at a distance of 240,- 000 miles from the earth. Yet the sun is so vast, that if it were a hollow build, the moon could revolve on its orbit which it now follows, and still be en- dlrcly inclosed within the sun’s in- tcrior. For every acre on the surface of our globe there are more than 10,000 acres on the surface of the great luminary. Every portion of this inimitable des- ert of flame is pouring forth torrents of heat. It has indeed been estimated that if the heat which is inces- santly flowing through any single foot of the sun’s exterior square could be. collected and apphcd beneath the boilers of on At- antic liner it would suffice to produce steam enough to sustain in continuous movement those engines of 20,000 horse power which enable a. superb ship to break the record between Ireland and America. SOCIAEILITY F .x. INDIANS. They Are Fond of Paying Social Visits Among; Themselves. Indians, contrary to widely received opinions, are ofa social nature and fond of paying friendly visits, the etiquette of which would make a. chapter of it- self. Not much attention is given to the order of their going while in the .(‘lust of travel, but when arrived within a short clisavnce of their destination a halt is called, the ponies are relieved of their burdens. the rawhide packs we opened, and gun dresses and fine orna- ments come to light. The two young men selected to be the bearers of gifts of tobacco clock themselves for their mission and ride on in advance. A sur- prise party is not in the Indians list of amusements; he 1;.sz his enemy unawares, but not ‘his friend. The young men return with messages of welcome; sometimes members of the family to be visited come with them personally to conduct the party. Meanwhile, writes Alice C. Fletcher in Century, all have been busy prink- ing; brushing and braiding their looks, painting their faces, and donning their best gear, the wide prairie their dress- ing-room, their mirrors each other’s eyes. Vthn the visiting party is again on route there is not a. man or woman who is not gorgeous with color and the glitter of shell or feather finery. Even the children have (laubs of fresh paint on their plump little cheeks, while the dent in necklaces, embroidered leg- gings, and shirts, and with ornaments innumerable braided into their scalp locks. The visit over the Indians go back to their homes pleased and con- tented, happy if thcy find, as may not always be the case, that the enemy have not been at work in their absence. METHODS OF MODERN AUTHORS. Novels Compressed or Padded to Suit the Publisher’s Needs. There is now an author before the public whose writings have a wide audi- ence, but who has recently been told by the critics that his work is deteri- orating. This is true, says E. W. Bask in the Forum, and it is not strange that it should be so- He is a man who as a writer shows the highest art in his work, and his earlier books demon- strate this fact beyond a. doubt. But he has come under the influence of the dollar, and now writes what is called “to order.” Not long ago a magazine editor approached this author for his next work and found him juststarting upon it. “I would like it,” said the editor. “What will you pay for it?” was the author’s first question. “How long will it probably be?” in- quired the editor. “Oh, I can make it just as long or as short as you want it,” said the obliging author. Then he added: “It depends upon the price. I can make a 40,000- word story of it if you like, and then it will cost you $6,000. Or I can spin it out to 60,000 words—and that is real- ly what I ought to have to let the story tell itself, but then I will want $7,500 for it. Of course, if you can’t pay more han $6,000, I can trim it accordingly.” The real question of the Story itself did not enter into the question. It was simply a matter of price. You paid so much and got so much. If you paid a little more you received a. little more. It was Anthony Trollope over again. London’s’Big Wheel. The big wheel at Earl’s Court, Lon- don, has so far been an undoubted suc- cess. It has only a record of 15 weeks’ work, but during that brief period re- ceipts amount to upward of £23,000, or an average of £260 per day. The total number of‘passengers carried round the wheel was 430,000. The re- sult is an interim dividend of ten per cent. and a. future dividend of nine per ciating account. Where Water Is Deep.

"‘My friend and I had secured two lower berths opposite each other. He was not a. smoker, so he concluded to tumble in, while I went forward to the Smoking compartment-‘- for a. cigar be« fore I followed his example. Possibly I found the game of cards which was in progress between the two commercial travelers interesting, or else the cigar was more soothing than us'ual, but, however it was, I remained longer than I had intended. - “In the meantime we had made astop and taken on a couple of passengers, an aged couple of dignified and aristo- cratic appearance. Every lower berth was taken and over half of the uppers, so the worthy pair were not jubilant over the prospect of climbing into an upper berth, and their objections were plainly audible to others than the per- ter. At last that 52.. Is gallant, driven to his wits’ end, came in to where I sat placidly smoking, apparently uncon- scious of what had been going on in the car. With a. deprecating air he approached and asked me if I would ex- change my lower berth for an upper in favor of the old people. assented, and the couple, grateful and contented, immediately took posses- sion, and judging from the duo of dis- cordant vocal sounds which soon ema- nated from ‘lower 10’ they had fallen into peaceful slumber. “In the meantime my friend, being a heavy sleeper, was quite unconscious of the change that had been made in the arrangements. So, early in the morn- ing, he crawled out and proceeded to get his shoes from under the berth, sitting upon the edge of the bed while he leisurely drew on one shoe. Then he began to think I had enjoyed myself undisturbed quite long enough, and commenced to shake the curtains and call to me to get up. Meeting with no response he concluded to make it~.more effectual, so he calmly drew aside the curtains, noticing nothing unusual in the dim light-.g‘and gave several resound- ing slaps with the remaining shoe upon the most obvious portion of the unit- omy. At the same time he called out: ‘Come, aren’t you ever going to get up?’ “For answer several feminine shrieks rent the air, while two rwrathful faces rose up and confronted my friend, who shrank back aghast. Every head popped out between the curtains, my own included, but quickly grasping the situation, I sank back convulsed. In the meantime the porter had appeared, and in due course of time and with many explanations succeeded in paci- fying the aged couple.”-—Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. RIPPING GARMENTS TO PIECES. In Doing This There Should Be No Pull- ing or Tearing. There is a general impression that it is an easy enough matter to rip up a garment. Most anybody can do it, and it is an undertaking that requires no special skill or care. Acting on this idea, clothing is pulled, torn, out with knives, snipped with scissors and final- ly taken to pieces after this unprofit— able fashion, and the operator comes and declares that everything is ready. A dyer who handles a large quantity of black goods says that he long ago gave up expecting anybody to rip a garment up as it should be done. If the seams are ripped, they are full of threads; sometimes there are buttons on; hooks and eyes are not uncommon; the fronts of them are stuck full of pins of various sorts, and linings, fucings, braids and the like remain, in whole or in pieces, just as the individual who had charge of the disintegrating process happens to leave them. To rip up a. garment properly there. should be no pulling, tearing or drag- ging apart. If one cannot take the end of the thread and pull it out, the stitches should be cut with a; sharp knife. Very few persons can rip a gar- ment with scissors without doing it great harm; indeed, .many find it im~ possible to cut: stitches with anything without making holes that render the goods absolutely worthless for the one who originally wore it. When it is done the edges are so ragged that a. much smaller pattern must be used. In pre- paring goods for the dyer, or to ' be made over, every stitch should be taken out. It seems scarcely necessary to say that facings, braid and hooks and eyes must be removed, but this is impera- tive, in view of the condition in which garments come to the dressmaker and the dyer. Many dresses, capes and jackets are perfectly wearable after being carefully ripped, brushed, sponged and pressed. It is a. wonder that some one does not set up an estab- lishment for ripping clothes and put- ting them in order for the dressmaker. The owner of them frequently has not time to do them properly, 'or is too careless and understands too little the requirements of them to do itshad she all the time in the world. Some semi- invalid in every community might get a tolerable living, or at least add to a limited income by preparing garments for remodeling—N. Y. Ledger. Hatching Eggs on a Fire Engine. A good story is told concerning the members of a fire brigade in a certain town not far from Hastings. On one oc- casion it appears a fire broke out in the town and a rush was naturally made for the fire engine which was always kept on the premises of one- of the in- habitants. When the men attempted to take the engine out, however, they were . met with the exclamation from the cus- todian: “Hil ye can’t take that out. I’ve got a hen sitting on there and you’ll break . her eggs.” Tradition avers that the men seeing the force of this argument instantly withdrew and the fire was put out by means of pails of water drawn from a. neighboring well.—Pearson’s Weekly. -—Tea has been found growing wild . ~ _ in South China, Siam, Burmah and the region in India immediately south of the Himalayas. - J‘ A - Advertise in the “Gazette.” ‘ I readily ‘ How Many '8‘ Stay?
