Fall Of Man.

How it strikes the Danbury NeaOs man
is appended: "You are generally look
ing at something very intently when it
happens-perhaps you are smiling to
yourself; then your left foot shoots out
to one side with a suddenness that Gre
ates sickness in the family. Ice com
menses to form on your spine and per-
spiration on your brow, and your scalp
lifts enough to permit streak of cold
air to pass under The other leg goes
out at this iuncture, your head snaps
violently to the front, and there is a
faint impression on your mind that the
world is about to come to an end, with
nobody in charge. Miles of sidewalk
spin out from you like lightning; three
story buildings jump over your head in
quick succession; people disappear sud-
denly and with appalling mystery; then
your eyes close, your consciousness
wanes, and your soul goes out with one
expiring culver, and-and you arrive.
The hard reality of the scene is then
forced upon you with unpleasant abrupt
ness. Everything is in it's place but
your spine. You get up and move off
with sickly attempt at smile, feeling
at the time that the back of your head
is laughing from ear to ear, and finding
that the hardest thing is, not the side
walk, but to keep from rubbing yourself

NOyaculite.

Novaculite is usually made use of for
the purpose of sharpening tools and
domestic implements, and is commonly
called milestone. Geologically, it be-
longs to the milestone grits. Its first
condition was undoubtedly sandstone,
and by the aid of chemical process,
performed by nature, became pure silica.
A great deposit, from which thousands
of tons have been mined for hundreds
of years, is situated near Constantine
pie. There are also two or three other
deposits known in Europe, but none of
as good a quality as the one at Constan-
tinople. The most remarkable deposit
of this kind was found in Arkansas
about the year 1910, some two miles
from the celebrated Hot Springs. The
quarry was first worked in 1913 but
only for the past few years to any great
extent The demand is quite extern
sive, and stone is sold at from 80 cents
to 81. .25 per pound, ready for use. The
vein of rock is very peculiar +; present.
ing twelve to sixteen feet of width, and
carrying with it ON either side the same
rock, but of much more coarse and
inferior quality. The dip of the forma-
tion is 40 to 45 degrees, and seems to
become more uniform the deeper the
vein is mined The deposit of red
oxide of iron, in some portions of the
vein, gives to 1t much the ap-
pearance of a fine marble. It's discov-
cry was made by it's cropping out upon a
quite extensive hill owned by gentle
man by the name of Barnes, who holds
in this an independent fortune. The
finest portion mined brings a large
price, and is largely used by engravers.
In Cedar and Taney counties in this State
(Missouri) the same rock is found, but
no development has determined its ex-
tent, or quality, save surface speci-
mems, which are not likely to represent
the best rocks of the formation as in
the Arkansas mine, the deeper it is
mined, the more superior the stone be-
comes.-,St. Louis Journal Of Com

Three Remarkable Stars Now Visible.

A brilliant starry triangle is now Wis
ible in the early evening. 1t is made
up of the three brightest stars that are
seen in our latitude, with the exception
of Mars, when in opposition. Venus,
Jupiter, and Sirius form the shining
points of the celestial triangle, and
make the geometrical marvel easy to
recognize. Venus must be looked for
in the West, Jupiter towards the zenith
in the East, and Sirius in the South.
The contrast in color and apparent
size between these stars is strongly
marked. Venus takes the lead, as she
hangs like golden lamp in the glowing
West Jupiter is of deeper tint, shad-
ing towards orange, while Sirius, gilt
tering with beaming rays, is of softened
white, tinged with blending of the
most delicate shades of green and blue.
The real contrast between the stars is
far greater than the seeming one, and
in an inverse ratio. Venus is little
globe, no larger than ours Jupiter is a
giant planet, fourteen hundred times as
large as the earth, while Sirius is a glo-
rious sun, twenty millions of millions of
miles away, and yet one of our nearest
stellar neighbors, although far more
powerful and many times exceeding
in size the sun, our symbol of omnip-
otence.
In few weeks the starry triangle
will be broken up, it's members taking
new positions and forming new combi-
nations, while new stars will take their
places upon our field of evening obser-
vation, ana furnish the never-ending
variety, which is one of the charms of
the science of astronomy.
