An Eccentric King.

1t is said that the present eccentric
King OF Bavaria caused to be erected, at
an immense cost, on the roof of the
royal palace of his Capital, magnificent
garden inclosed with glass. 1t is filled
with rare tropical plants and flowers,
and contains even tiny lake. Here,
at night, the scene lit up with a soft,
subdued brilliancy, the King will float
in miniature gondola, and listen to the
voices of the court singers, hidden
among the foliage to complete the illu-
sions in which he loves to dream away
his life. Once he conceived the plan Of
having one of Moliere's comedies repre-
sented before him by the young ladies of
q convent pension. Several weeks were
spent in rehearsals, and costly arrange
ments made to present the piece In n
manner worthy of the royal command I;
but, on the very evening of the intended
performance, it occurred to the King
that he might be the cynosure of all
young eyes, and at the last moment the
play was countermanded. Many years
ago he was induced to review the gar
rison of Munich, massed on the great
plain outside the city, upon which looks
down the colossal bronze statue of Ba-
varia. Splendidly mounted, he rode
hurriedly past the front; and then, as If
shrinking from the gaze of his soldiers,
he put spurs TO his horse, and, attended
only by his aid-de-camp, galloped away,
leaving his troops to defle before his
Minister of War and the Generals of his
staff. 90

The moon, says Prof. Proctor, does
not revolve around the earth, but the
two circle about each other, and the
real center of the revolution of each Is
the sun. If there were railway suffi-
GENTLY " elevated " to reach the moon,
which is 23S, S18 miles distant from us,
we should be fifteen months making
the journey at ordinary railroad speed.
Upon arriving, we should observe sew
eral interesting phenomena. First, it is
a very respectable luminary Of a dame
ter of 2,081 miles, with surface of A.
000, 900 square miles, q volume one
forty-ninth of that of the earth, and a
mass one-eighty first of it.
Then, the force of gravity being one
sixth of the earth, we could be thirty
six feet high, and still quite as active as
we are here But our longer bodies would
have a longer day in which to disport
themselves, for there is lapse oftwenty-
nne and one-half of our days between
the lunar sunrise and sunset. Our ex-
tremities, however, would certainly SUI
fer after sunset, for the surface OF the
moon is $50 degrees below zero at mid
night, and the reaction toward noon
would try even our prolonged proper
tions, for at noon the surface would be
3S degrees above the boiling-point. We
should be very lonely, probably, for
there is no living creature there now.
Still, as Prof. Proctor says that oil
planets pass through five stages, the
last of which is death-a stage which
the moon has reached-the apprehensive
mind naturally inquiries how soon the
earth will probably reach it. The pro-
lessor answers, reassuringly, that the
earth is now about 500, 900, 900 years
old, and that it took the moon 80, 600, 900
to reach its present state. He therefore
concludes that it will take the earth 500, :
900, 900 years more to reach the same
condition. There is thus no Immediate
cause for apprehension.
