DEPTHS OF THE HEAVENS.
The Wonderful “fork of Photography il‘
_ _ ., Revealing Them. j .
--In. "the reCent progress which““’has
been made in the study of the heavens
the photographic plate has played a
most important part. Indeed,,t‘he fa-
cilities which the resources of photo-‘
graphy have placed at the disposal 0‘
the astronomer are every day increas-
ing. The older methods of.observatioh
are in many cases gradually being dis-
placed by the more accurate and far
more comprehensive methods which
the camera offers. It has been as-
serted that the advance in the gastron?
omer’sart which is due to the introduc-
tion of the photographic plate into the
observatory, is not less far reaching:
in its effects than the advance Which
was inaugurated when Galileo first:
turned his newly made telescope to the
sky and thus wonderfully augmented
the space-penetrating power of human
vision. ‘
Recent researches made by Dr. Gill
and Dr. Elkins at the Cape of Good
Hope have demonstrated what the dis-
tance of Sirius amounts to. It has been
shown that the rays from Sirius, trav-
eling as they do with the stupendous
speed of light, namely, at the rate of
180,000 miles each second, would nev-
ertheless require not less than Dill!
years to traverse rthe distance between
that star and our system. In other
words, -when we are looking at Sirius
to-night we do not see-that star as it
is at present, but we see it as it was
nine years ago. The light which reach-
es our eye to-night must, in fact, have
left the star nine years before. There
is good reason for the belief that there
are stars which are still visible in our
great telescopes, notwithstanding that
they are 1,000 times further from us
than the brilliant Sirius. It follows by
a line of reasoning, which it seems im-
possible to question, that the light of
such a star must have occupied a
period of not less than 9,000 years in
its journey to the earth. The conse
quences of such a calculation are in-
deed momentous. ,It is plain thatwe
do not see such stars as they are to-
night, but as they were when our earth
was 9,000 years younger. The light
from such stars which is now entering ~
our eyes at the close of this unparal-
leled journey has occupied all that long
interval between the solar system and
the awful stellar depths. This vast-
time has been required for the journey;
notwithstanding the fact that the
tight speeds on its way with a velocity
which would carry it seven times-
around the world in a second. Indeed;
the, stars might have totally ceased to
exist for the past 9,000 years and we
should still find them shining in their
places. 'Not until ‘all the light which
was on its way to earth at the time of
the star’s extinction had entered our
eyes would the tidings of that extinc-
tion have become known to us. We
are looking at such stars as they ex-
isted long before the earliest period to
which’any records of . human history
extend. ' '
Millet’s Boyhood.
Jean Francois Millet, the great art
ist, was born in the hamlet of Gru-
chy,-a mere handful of houses which
lie in a valley descendng to the" sea,
not far from Cherbourg, France. In
writing of his parentage and early
influences in McClure’s Magazine,
Will H. Low says that every inch of
the ground up to the cliffs above the
sea, in Millet’s country, represented
the struggle of man with nature; and
each parcel of "land, every stone in
the walls which kept the earth from
being engulfed in the floods beneath;
bore marks of his handiwork.
' Millet was reared by his grand-
mother, such being the custom of the
country, the younger women being oc-
cupied 'in the service of mastering
earth, and the elders, no longer able
to go afield, bringing 'up the children
born to their children, who in turn
replaced their parents in the never:
ending struggle. . .
This grandmother, Louise Jumelin,
widow of Nicolas Millet, was a wo-
man of great force of character and
extremely devout; The most ordinary
occupation of the day was madethe
subject not of uttered prayer, for that
Would have entailed suspension of her
ceaseless activity, but of spiritual ex-
ample tersely expressed, which fell
upOn the fruitful soil of Millet’s young
imagination, and left such a lasting
impression that to the end of his life
his natural expression was almost
Biblical in charactei' of language.
“Look sharp, there,” shouted . the
brakeman to Mr. Henpeck, as he was
getting aboard the train. '
“Do you expect a man .to change his
,face?” snapped Mrs. Henpeck, as she
dragged her husband after hen—Yon-
kers Statesman. ‘ ,

mice and rats is described in Popular
Science News. It consists of a me-
tallic cat, which, being covered with '
luminous‘paint, shines in a dark room
with a'- mysterious radiance which,
the inventor thinks, will be more efa
fectual than traps, or even genuine
cats in ridding houses of rodent pests.

A RECENT ASSEGRTIQN THAT HE
WAS NO GENTLEM‘AN.
llis Thirteen ~Rules For ..An Honest Life
I Are, How/ever, Good Enough For a Gal-
ahad. His Religious Creed in 92 Well
Cliosen' Words. - '
The'recent assertion by a. well-known
society of women that Benjamin Frank-'
lin was not a gentleman, calls attention
to his character, and gives timeliness
to a republication of some of his max
ims and opinions. . ' V
It is first recalled that he held that
there are thirteen rules which must be
observed by any one who would lead an
upright, honest life. They are:
1. Temperance; eat not to dulfiess;
drink not to elevation. ' .
2. Silence; speak not but what may
benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling
conversation. " '
3. Order; let all your things have
their places; let each Dart of your busi-
ness have its time. .
4." Resolution; resolve to perform
what you ought; perform without fail
what you resolve. , ‘I
5. Frugality; make no expense but .
to do good to others or yourself; that is,
waste nothing. ,
6. Industry; lose no time; be always
employed in something useful; cut off
all unnecessary actions. -
7. ' Sincerity; use no hurtful deceit:
think innocently and justly; and, if you
speak, speak accordingly. "'
8. Justice; wrong none by doing in.
juries or omitting the benefits that are
your duty. .
9. Moderation; avoid extremes; for-
bear resenting injuries so much as you
think they deserve.
10. Cleanliness; tolerate no unclean-
Vliness in body, clothing, or habitation.
11. Tranquillity. Be not disturbed
at trifies or at accidents common or un-
avoidable.
12. Chastity.
13. Humility; Imitate Jesus and So-
crates.
And yet we are told that the author
of these maxims who practiced what he
preached, was not a gentleman.
When Franklin was editor of the
Pennsylvania Gazette, he commented
unfavorably on the public conduct of
certain prominent Philadelphians, and,
as a result, was iwarned that if he did
not desist many of his patrons would de-
sert him. He replied by inviting all the
dissatisfied ones to supper. _
They‘came and were surprised to see
on the supper table nothing but “two .‘
puddings. made of coarse meal, called
sawdust puddings in the common
phrase, and a stone pitcher filled with
water.” He helped them all and then
applied himself to his own plate, par-
taking freely of the repast and urging
They taxed
their politeness to the utmost, but all in
vain; their appetites refused obedience
to the will. Perceiving their difficulty,
Franklin at last arose and said:
“My friends, any one who can subsist
upon sawdust pudding and water.- as I
can, needs no man’s patronage.”
Adulation did not spoil him. He
was ever an American and ready to
stand up for America’s rights, Being
asked by an English nobleman in 1775
what would satisfy America, he ‘wrote
on a. piece of paper: ' '
“Re-call your forces.
“Re-store Castle William.
“Re-pair the damage done to. Boston.
"Re-peel your unconstitutional acts.
“Re-nounce your pretensions to taxes.
“Re-fund the duties you have ex-
iorted. .
“Requireand
“Re-ceive payment for the destroyed
tea with the voluntary grants of the
colonies and then
“Re-joice in a happy
‘ ‘Re- conciliation.”
For a man of his character death had
no terrors. Being questioned as to his re-
ligious beliefs a few weeks before he
died, he replied: '
“I believe in one God, the Creator of
the universe; that He governs it by His
providence; that He ought to be wor~
shipped; that the most acceptable ser-
vice we can render to Him is doing good
to His other children; that the soul of
man is immortal, and will be treated
with justice in another life respecting
its conduct in this. As to Jesus of Naz-
areth, I think His systems of morals and
His religion asHe left them to us, the
best the world ever saw or is likely to
see.”
His last words were characteristic of
the man who had given the world so
many admirable maxims. When his.
daughter advised him to change his po-
sition in bed so that he might breath
more easily, he remarked: “A dying
man can do nothing easy.”
So he passed away, regretted by all
Americans and by the many in Europe
who knew his sterling worth. .

The wrecked train was the regular pas-
senger train, consisting of an engine and
two cars, which connected at Arcata Wharf
with the company’s ferryboat Alta, leav~
ing here at 3:30, bound for Korbel, the
terminus of the road, about 12 miles above
Arcata. The scene of the accident was
the company’s bridge across Mad river,
about half way between Arcata and Kori
bet. The train had run out bu the first
span of the bridge, when, without warn-
ing, the stringers gave way,.lcttlng the
whole train drop 40 feet to the gravel bed
of the river,- where the coaches were
smashed. The engine and cars did not
pile up-or telescope, as all dropped togeth-
er.~ One span of the bridge is still in po-
sition uninjured.
In the coaches were between 30 and 40
passengers, Iand all of these, with the ex-
ception of one man, who jumped from the
rear platform, went down with the train.
This man was Louis Everding, one of the
owners of the Riverside mills. All the
others were injured more or less, and some
of the injured are not expected to live.
A relief train was sent out from Arcata
as soon as the news of the accident was re-
ceived. The train got into Arcata about
8 o’clock. Extra medical help was sent
from Eureka and Arcata;

Suicide of Her Captain and Mate and
Browsing of Four Men.
HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass., Sept. 15. —The
Italian bark Monte Tabor, from Trapani
for Boston, with a cargo of’salt, was wreck-
ed on Peaked Hill bar. To escape death
by drowning it is reported that Captain
Dellacasa committed suicide by shooting,
and his example of self destruction was
followed by the mate, who cut his throat
with a razor. Four of the crew of ten,
all of whom were swept overboard,'were
drowned. The remaining six reached
shore on the vessel’s dcckhouse, which was
the largest part left from the vessel in a
very short time after she struck. These —
sailors are all foreigners and speak very
little English, so that only meager details
of the wreck could be learned from them.
The Monte Tabor left Trapani, Sicily,
on June 21. She is a wooden vessel of 592
tons gross, 153 feet long, 32 feet beam and
9 feet '7 inches depth of hold. She was
built at Varazze in 1873 and hailed from

8:30 a. m. on Sept. 10 and proved to‘ be
the brigantine Hattie Louise, dismasted
and - laboring in a 'heavy sea. " Six negro
sailors, from St. AndreW’s island, W. I.,
were taken off with- diiiiculty. Her cap-
tain, named Porter, who was taking her
to Yarmouth, N. S., for repairs, had been
washed overboard and drowned. ' At 1:30

Margaret E. Dean of Parrsboro, N. S., was
sighted, and Captain Dowling and seven
of her crew were taken from her.
