JMHENSTTY OF SPICE.

In a recent lecture delivered III Edln-
burg ON fThe Stars" Prof. Grant gave
graphic idea of the immensely of space.
He said railway train travelling night
aid day at the rate of fifty miles an hour
would reach the moon In six months, the
sun in 200 years, and Alpha CentauI1,
the nearest of the fixed stars, in 42,000,
900 years. A ball from gun, travel
ing at the rate of 900 miles an hour,
would reach Al pha Centauri in 2, ,70O,-
900 years while light, travelling as it did
at the rate of 1S5, 900 miles in a second,
would not reach it in less than three
years. Light from some of the telescope
stars would take 5,760 years to reach the
earth and from some of these clusters
the distance was so great that hight
would take 10000 years to pass to the
really are, but as they were 500, 900 years
ago. These stars might have become
extinct thousands of years ago, and yet
their light might present itself to us. As
to the magnitude of TIE stars, he noticed
that it was computed that Alpha Lyra
was 100, 900, 900, 900 miles distant from
the earth, and its magnitude and splen-
dor were as twenty to one when com
pared with our sun. Similar investiga-
tions brought out the fact that our SUN
was neither vastly greater nor vastly less
than the great majority OF the stars.

There has been lawyers strike at
Carlisle, England. The Clerk of the
Peace announced that the treasury
would in future allow only one guinea
instead of two for brief. The lawyers
organized a most successful strike. They
would have nothing to do with cheap
labor briefs When the Deputy Re
corder concluded his charge to the Grand
Jury a barrister handed in brief
marked one guinea, at the same time
saying that there was strike among
the lawyers, who would not accept the
briefs and the fee allowed. The Clerk
said the matter had been brought before
the Deputy Recorder. who had arranged
to pay the two guineas on this occasion
So the strike ended IL complete victory
for the lawyers.

SNORING.

A snore is an index to a dream. Don t
you believe it? A nights experience in
any sleeping-car will prove this. When,
during the midnight run between sta
tions, cannonade of snores is followed
by rattling volley of snuffies and a din
of wheeling, the traveller knows that his
neighbor is veteran, and is dreaming of
one of his old battles. But if the invol-
untary music is soft and low, sniff an
swering unto sniff in measured cadence,
the traveller may rest assured that there
is young man in the next berth dream
ing of his sweetheart Given the snore,
and one has the man and the dream. At
least, that's what they say.
