star of Reihleham Coming.


Prof. C. A. Grimmer, of Kingston.
Jamaica, who is a scientist of fame,
recently made some wonderful
prophecies in connection with the
action of the planets and other heav-
emily bodies. He says of the "Star of
Bethlehem" In 1887 the "Star of
Bethlehem" will be once more seen
in "Casse Pia's Chair" and will be
accompanied by q total eclipse of the
sun and moon. The star only makes
it appearance every lis years. 1t
will appear and illuminate the heav-
ems. and exceed in brillianey even
Jupiter when in opposition to the
sun, and, therefore, nearer to the sun
and brightest. The marvellous bril-
liancy of the "Star of Bethlehem" in
1887 will surpass any of it's previous
visitations. 1t will be seen even by
MONDAY, shining with quick, flash
ing light the entire year, after which
it will gradually decrease in bright
ness and finally disappear, not to re-
turn to our heavens until 2202, or
Sl5 years after 1887. This star first
attracted the attention of modern
astronomers in the year 1873. 1t was
then called q new star. 1t was no
new star, however, for this was the
star which shone so brightly B. c.,
and was the star that illumined the
heavens at the nativity of Christ.

Millions of Dead Letters.

The following interesting figures
are from the report of A. j. Dallas,
Chief Clerk of the Dead Letter Bu-
reau at Washington: Number OF
dead letters received during the
year, S,S53,651. Of these, 2,665,844
were sent to the dead letter Office,
because unclaimed; 56,l88 were re-
turned from hotels, the parties adj
dressed having left for other places
81, O62 were returned from foreign
countries; 289,618 were held for
postage; 1179 contained unavailable
matter; 201, 1889 were misdirected
35,773 were fictitious addresses. and
9167 contained no addresses at all.
The disposition of these letters and
packages was as follows: Opened
and returned to the writer's, 805,913
returned to owners without open
ing, S64, 008; filed for further action,
S0,549; opened and now in hands OF
postmaster for further investigation
1917; destroyed, owners not being
found and letters being of no value
2,1O5,9Sl; on hand at end of year, un-
opened letters, 5,4SS.
The great mas of the above letters
contained nothing of value. OF the
remainder, &c, 264 contained money
to the amount of 9,4S8.7z and q, ;.
974 contained drafts, checks, notes
etc, to the amount of 81, 1926, 216.65
The number containing books, mer
chandise, ETC., was 81, S08; containing
photographs, 1887; containing post
age stamps, 1919. Most of this
property has been restored to Tho
owners; a small amount, however
is still in the custody of the depart
ment. That which was unclaimed
and could not by any possibility bt
returned to to the senders or partie!
addressed, were sold at public auc
ton, realizing the sum of $4.305 II
which has been turned into tn,

Our Bodies Af,er Death.

Within very near approach TO
truth, the human family iphabiting
the earth has been estimated at ] .000.-
100000: the annual loss by death is
1S,000,000. Now, the weight of the
animal matter of this immense body
east into the grave is no less than
6S4, 00o tons, and its decomposition
produces $4,000, 900 cubic feet of mat
ter. The vegetable productions of
the earth clear away from the earth
the gases thus generated, and decom-
posing and assimilating them for
their own increase. This circle of
changes has been going on ever since
man became an occupier ofthe earth.
He feeds on the lower animals and
on the seeds of plants, which in due
time become a part of himself. The
lower animals feed upon herbs and
grasses, which in their turn become
the animal then, by its death, again
passes into the atmosphere, and are
ready once more to be assimilsted by
plants, the earth or bone substance
alone remaining where it is depos-

In what spirit the trial of Mr..
Parnell and his associates is TO be
conducted in the atmosphere of Dub
lin, is already foreshadowed by the
remarks made by Chief Justice May.
and endorsed by his associates on
the bench. On preliminary motion
for the restraint of the Dublin news
papers from working to secure the
conviction of the land league, his
lordship allowed himself to deliver a
harrangue, which assumed the truth
of every charge brought against Mr..
Parnell and his co-defendants. OF
the other judges, only one dIssented
from the Chief Justice, and he did
so. on the ground that the action
proposed was not severe enough
upon the land league. The truth
is that Dublin Is not the place, and
the Irish is not the bench, to give
the leaguers any sort of equitable
treatment. The latter represents
the ascendancy party as much as in
the days Of Emmet's trial. The city
contains o small army of depend
ents on tho Castle and its patronage,
which manages to give tone TO local
opinion. Dublin is a sort Of Eng
lish Pale" insulated from the gen
eral currents OF Irish opinion, and
always very useful to lreland's mas
tiers when they have political pros
ecution on hand and need a loyal
jury.

connections from Rags.

The manufacture of glucose from
rags. the novel industry recently
started in Germany, is regarded with
much .disfavor, and il is understood
that the German government will be
likely to interfere with the business.
The glucose is said to be chemically
identical with grape sugar. The
process. which is represented to be
very cheap, is as follows: Old linen
rags, which are composed of hard
vegetable fibres, are converted into
dextrine by application of sulphuric
acid. and the product thus obtained
is then wash with milk oflime. Next
il is treated with a stronger solntiou
OF the sulphuric acid than that firsi
-lasad- when the material is immedi
ately transformed and crystalized
into glucose, from which appetite.
