Of The CONSTELLATION CeEVna Brealis,
which had n0t been visibl5 Jt.is anns-

star Of the second mHgmtdde An ex-
animation showed That i had become
enveloped in a vast atmosphere Of heat
ed hydrogen, WHO'D al hAea holh it as

IMPROVED INDIA RUBHER TUBNo,--
II is we'll known that ordinary vulcan
lied india-rubber tubing becomes satu-
rated with gas. which again syaporates
at its outer surface, causing most
offensive odor. An invention for pre-
venting this, by coating the india-r1tb-
Der with varnish, has lately been
brought forward in England. The
principal feature IN this methsd Is, that
the varnish is easily made, and it rem
ders the substance Of the tube imper-
vious to gases. The varnish is com
posed of linseed oil and fine htharge,
or white lead, in the proportion OF one
quart of oil to one Of litharge. These
substances are well boiled together nm
til brought to a proper thickness or
body, and, while hot, the composition
is applied by running it through the
tube to be coated or lined The var
nish for tie outside is made by mixing
one quart Of linseed oil with half
pound of itharge and adding to the
same about n gill Of gold size. These
ingredients are well boiled together,
and, while hot, are applied with a brush
or sponge.

Old Definition Of Wit.

Old Isaac Barrow, in his famous ser
mon on Foolish Talking aud Jesting,"
gave a somewhat lengthy description Of
facetiousness or wit, which was pre-
nounced by Macintosh to be the
greatest proof Of mastery over language
ever given by an English writer This
illustration, which is too diffuse and .
uncertain to be called definition, is so
old that it will be new to many. He
says: "Wit is 4 thing so versatile
and multiform, appearing in so many
shapes, so many postures, 80 many
garbs, so variously apprehended by
several eyes and Judgments, that it
seemeth no less hard to settle a clear
and certain notion thereof than to make
portrait Of Proteus or to define the
figure OF the Heeting air. Sometimes it
lieth in pat allusion to known story,
or in seasonable application Of trivial
saying, or in forging an opposite tale;
sometimes it playeth in words and
phrases, taking advantage from the am
biguity of their senses or the affinity Of
of their sound sometimes it is wrapped
up in dress Of humorous expression;
sometimes it is lodged in sly question,
in smart answer, in quirkish reason,
in slfrewd intimation, in cunningly
diverting or cleverly retorting an OBJ
lection; sometimes it is couched in
bold scheme Of speech, in tart irony,
in a lusty hyperbole, in a Startling
metaphor, in plausible reconciling OF
contradictions, or in acute nonsense;
sometimes a scenical representation of
persons or things, counterfeit speech,
mimical look or gesture passes for it;
sometimes an affected simplicity, some
times presumptuous bluntness giveth
it being sometimes it riseth from a
lucky hitting upon what is strange;
sometimes from crafty wrestling obvi-
ous matter to the purpose often it con-
sisteth in one knows not what, and
springeth up one can hardly tell how.
It's ways are unaccountable and mex
plicable, being answerable to the
numberless rovings of fancy and winding
of language.

THE BURIAL OF MOSES,


DUET. xxxyu:6 G.
BY Nebo's lovely mountain,
ON this side Jordan's wave,
In vale IN the land Of Moal.
There lies lonely grave;
And no man dr 4 that sepuicbrc;
And no man saw IL e'er,
For the angels uf God uptuTned thu sod
And laid the dead man there
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
But no man heard the trampiug
Or saw the train 10 forth.
AZ nOiseless az the daylight
Comes when the night il done,
Aud the crimson streak on ocean cheek
Grows into the great sun.
As noiseless AZ the spring time
Her crown of yerdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves;
SO without sound of music
Or voice of then that wept,
In silence down the mountains crown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle
On gray Betb-Peor's height
Ont of his rocky eyrie,
Looked on the wondrous sight,
Percliance the lion, stalking
Still shuns that hallOwed spot:
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades In the war,
With arms reversed and muffied drums,
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell Of battles won,
Aud after him lead the masterless steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest OF the land
They lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an hoAored place
With costly marble drest,
III the great minister transept,
Where lights like glories fall,
And the sweet choir sings, the organ rings,
Along 'the emblazoned walls.
He was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed word.
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen,
On the deathless page, truth half 50 sage
Az Ire wrote down for men.
And hath he not high honor?
The hill side for his pail,
10 lie in state while angels wait.
With stars for tapers tall?
And the rocking pines, like tossing plume.
Ger his bier to wave
And Gods own hand, in that lovely land,
To lay him in his grave.
In that deep grave without name,
Whence his uncOffined clay
Shall break again--m0st wondrOus Thought
Before the Judgment day.
And stand with glory wrapped around
On the hills he never trod,
And speak Of the strife that won our life
With the Incarnate Son Of God.
o, lonely tomb in Moab's laud
o, dark Beth-PeOr's hill
Speak to the curious heart of ours
Aud teach them to be still.
God hath his mysteries of grace
Ways that He cannot tell
He hides them deep, like the secret sleep
OF him him He loved 10 well

lngF against the Indians, unless absolutely
necessary, until the arrival af a commission
recently appointed TO Investigate the causes
which led Captain Jack to wage war upon the
whites, and the result OF She investigation is
made known.
The Census of France and the United
states present II singular contrast in the
growth Of the two countries, very favorable to
America. The population OF France, bv re-
cent census is 81, 1O2, 921, n decrease of S6G,-
95b, since 1866. This is attributed to small
pox, to decline in matrimonial alliances, and
to war. In 1900 the population of France WAS
ls,669,35O. In 1862, when great care was taken
IN the enumeration, the population Aas a.
769, 1853. In 1901 it was q, $40 900. In 1921, in
spite of the long wars, it had increased TO 80
Bl 900. The average annual increase Of pop
ulation In France from 1861 to 1866 was only
1S6,lSG, or 6sO,OOO for the five years. This is
a slow growth compared with this country. A
hundred years ago this country had about
seventh OF the population Of France Those
three millions have increased to forty, while
the twenty-five millions in France are now but
thirty-eight. Between 1861 and 1866 the de-
partment Of the Seine, in which Paris il ill.,
oluded, was the only department where the
population had materially increased
The sewing machine patents are about to
expire, and according to the New York Bulle-
tin, there is formidable combination Of inter-
ests to lobby their extension through Con
gress. The royalty alone has Welded several
millions OF dollars, which were divided among
five companies, whose patents cover essential
points in the machine. TO this large sum is
to be added the far greater amounts derived
from the combination ring which renders the
sewing machine interest the most compact and
powerful corporation in the world, andperhaps
the most INSCRIPTIONS These companies
charge American people one-half more for ma
chimes than the rates at which precisely the
same articles are sold in Europe, The Bulle-
tin tells that for q series Of years the public
has paid from $50 to $50 apiece for machines
that never cost more than from So to $S each
and which could be sold for $15 to $2O each
and leave handsome profit
