The -Aue d AdverlIsInu.

As an illustration of the extent and
variety Of the advertisements which
crowd the columns Of the well-patron-
lied journals of the day, it has been
said, with but little exaggeration, that
if the whole Of our modern civilization
should pass away as completely as that
Of some Of the ancient monarchies it
would be possible for the historian Of
that distant future to reproduce in his
pages all the most prominent features
Of its art and its literature, its politics
and religion, its commerce andits trade,
from the advertising columns Of some
Of the great newspapers Of our times.
The very fact that the present is en-
phatically an advertising age shows how
keenly the importance Of the subject Is
appreciated and how strong ID the gen
eral faith in this method OF bringing
the buyers and the sellers, the employer
and the employed, and all the depart
ments OF the business world, face to
face with each other. SO thoroughly il
the present generation impressed with
the value Of advertising that il is 10
longer question Of how little busi-
ness man can do with, but how much he
cannot do without 50 that if is no
longer TO limit and abbrsyiate his bust
ness announcements, but rather To study
to extend, amplify and vary them aa
much as possible. In these days il has
become a recognized fact that the bust
ness man Who does not advertise il lot.
and thus, in the eager race Of ccmpetit-
ion. the people OF energy and the peo-
pie who succeed seize upon every
method u advertising themselves w
the world which ingenuity cam devise

The Midnlaht Sun in Auaust.

The correspondent of the New York
Herald who is with the Arctic ex-
ploring steamer Alliance, says: On our
way through the ice, which was made
with slovness and caution, we had our
first clear view Of the midnight sun,
whose altitude observed By the sextant
was deg. 33min. 40sec. In the clear
water astern several white whales sport
ed about. The statements that whale
fishing is no longer successful seems
strange in view of the fact that since we
have been In the Arctic seas we have
never been day without seeing them.
We have encountered whales of all
kinds and in abundance. Subsequent
to this we had, if possible, better
view Of the midnight sun, without the
distracting accompaniments of whales.
We had forced our way north, after
slow sailing ia the ice pack, to within
sight OF Spitzbergen, and when again
viewing the midnight sun we were quite
near Horn Sound. the most southern
ford on the southwestern coast Of
Spitzbcrgen. The first success OF sur
expedition had been scored. 1t was
clear, bright night this (don't mind the
seeming confusion Of terms with not
d fieck Of cloud as big as mustard seed
in the amber sky.
The sun looked like a great disk Of
molten gold, which seemed through the
smoked snow glasses to throb and pul.
safe, sending rays Of light from its cen
ter to its rim. These soft rolling rip
pies Of light seemed to depart from the
periphery with irregularity, although
tLey started from the center as il a peb-
BILE had been dropped there. Some
times they would depart from the rim
with the same regularity Dis they star
ted, and then again they seemed to
hurry off on one side and delay on the
other, giving the sun for an instant an
oblong appearance. This midnight
sun was not alone sensible to the eye !;
one could feel its rays, which burned
the skin with tho copper warmth of Tn-
dian summer days

A Barbecue.

Z Very few know just what barbecue
means. Well, if you want to see one
in all it's glory go to Maryland. The
barbecue ground is generally located
near spring. Around its clear waters
are hung score of gourd dippers.
Starting early in the morning we find
the campers already humming like
hive. Long, broad bitches have been
dug and these are foored with Goals
foot deep, over which are laid great
splits and on these huge carcasses of
hogs and bullocks. Farther on beyond
these trenches are great log fires, which
are kept constantly blazing, SO that at
any time the bitches may be replenished
with Goals. Such kissing and cracking
as there is above these immense fires as
the mounting flames curl and wreathe
themselves into great columns of smoke
Scores of coaches, buggies and wagons
are pouring in, filed with laughing,
jolly crowd, all intent upon days
frolic. Families come on horseback,
while not unfrequently can be seen
three riders to one mule. Gayly dressed
ladies come with their escorts and ne
groes flock in on foot. The whole
country seems to have entered into the
frolic. Down by the great boiling ket-
ties near the spring the darkies are
dressing shoats, sheep and great beeves.
Every animal is left whole, but is split to
the back bone. Long tables are spread
beneath the pines The horn is blown
for dinner. As the band strike up
lively air the people wind in long, fan
tastic line in and out among the trees to
the Widespread tables beneath. Babies
crow and prattle, mothers chat together
while old people find they have not for
gotten how to laugh. Certainly nothing
can be more jolly than Maryland bar
becLe.

Comet Racinu for Ihe Sun.

Two comets are now approaching the
sun, Encke's, which is no stranger, as it
yeyisits us once in every three and a
half yea s, and the new one discovered
in the northeast on the night that Presi-
dent Garfield died. Neither is yet visi-
BILE to the naked eye. Encke's rarely
becomes bright enough to be seen with.
out telescopes, but the new comet has
possibilities. 1t would not be unpre
cedented if we should have two bril-
liant comets this year. Two Of the
grandest comets on record appealed in
the year 14O2. At the very time that
the enormous comet of 1918 was scar
ing Europe, another huge comet was
visible in the southern hemisphere.
1t was also mistake to suppose that
1881 has furnished an unprecedented
number Of comets. Only four new
comets have been discovered this year.
In 1858, the year of the great comet,
no less than eight comets we're seen, Of
which six were new ones. In 1916 there
we're nine comets visible, of which
eight had never been seen before.
There have been many years in which
four and FIVE comets had been seen.
So, whatever may be claimed for 1881
on account Of its ether marvels, it
certainly does not yet take the front
rank as comet year.
