CHECKED BORDERS.

Pin head checks cut to form bias
bands will be much used for trimming
goods of solid color. This will be
especially popular for blue and white
summer silks, brown and white, and
black with white. When the dress is
made of these small checks, large
blocks are used for borders. Brown
and white check silks, trimmed with
larger checks, will make pretty tray
cling dresses for brides.

The cetacean zeuglodon of the tertiary

AN ECCENTRIC STAR.

TIE most singular fact connected with
proper motion of the stars is that one or
two stars are flying through space at such
an enormous rapidity that the combined at
traction of all the stars visible with the tel
escope could not stop them. This seems to
be especially the case with a small star, in
visible to the naked eye, designated in as
Economical literature as "Groombridge,
1880" from the astronomer who first re-
corded its position. The rate of motion of
this star is about seven seconds per year
the greatest known. 1t was hence conclud-
ed that it must be very near US. and num-
Der Of astronomers have sought to deter
mine its parallax, but have found it to be
only about tenth of second. Its appar-
ent motion in a year being seventy times
it's parallax, it moves at least seventy times
the distances from the earth to the sun in a
year, or 100000 of miles every day, and
more than 200 miles every second. From
what we know Of the distribution. masses,
an numbers Of stars, it seems probable that
the attraction of all the bodies in the uni
verse can never stop this headlong speed,
nor bring this star into any orbit, and that
consequently it will pass through the uni
verse and leave it entirely at its passage
through infinite space. If we had accurate
observations of the stars position 5000 or
1900 years ago, we could speak with more
certainty of its destiny. we may expect
that our posterity of few years hence will.
by the aid of the observations and table, we
shall transmit to them. be able to come to a
definite conclusion respecting the age and
the structure of the universe.-Harper'
Magazine.

that portion Of the crude oil to tempera-
ture of thirty-fve to forty degrees Fahren-
heit, so as to cause the parafhne to crystal

this was accomplished by storing the oil in
Summer and exposing it in fat dishes to the
cold winter. AS the works increased it be-
came necessary to devise some means for
accomplishing this result at all times of the
year. The Harrison ether machine did
good service, but it was found to be too
small. Mr.. A. c. Kirk. the engineer of the
works, after learning Of tie ice machine of
Dr. Corrie, which ha: succeeded in Florida
but failed in London, decided to follow
methods similar to those adopted in that ma
chine. The simple means of COMPRISING
air into receiver by means Of a compress
ing pump was first tried; the compressed
air being then allowed to expand, and in its
expansion to do the work of driving steam
engine was expected to be elected from
temperature. But the condensed air enter
ed the cylinder at the temperature of the
surrounding atmosphere, and neutralized
much Of the cooling effect of the preceding
stroke. There was also moisture in the air,
to remove which no precaution had been
taken; and other mechanical difficulties
caused this experiment to be abandoned.
Attention was then turned to an air engine
of form allied TO Sterlings, and the ex-
pertinent. under new arrangements, having
succeeded, Mr.. Kirk made large machine,
which has been continually at work since
1864, and fully accomplishes all that can be
desired. This, the first Bathgate machine,
is usual y worked at from 100 to 100 pounds

As far possible. the air is also cooled be

4 modification Of this machine, adapted
to the cooling of large quantities Of water
or for icemaking, has also been constructed
by Mr.. Kirk for the use of the Oak Bank
Oil Company, and has been at work since
1872 with success equal to that of the
original Bathgate machine. As an average
sample of the work done by the Bathgat'
dry-air machine in 1864, Mr.. Kirk, after
giving the dimensions of the cylinders, etc.
