AUGUST STAR-GAZING

On the nights of the 9th, 10th and
18th, display of celestial fireworks may
be looked for The earth then plunges
through the domain of the erratic member
of the system known as the August me-
teor zone. This zone is gigantic ellipse
or hoop whose perihelion is within the
earth's orbit, and whose aphelion reaches
beyond the orbit Of Neptune. 1T is mys-
teriously associated, as Schiapareli dis
covered, with The second comet of 1862,
or has been gradually formed from its
substance The meteors are distributed
through every portion Of the ring, though
somewhat unequally. -
Every year, therefore, when the earth
crosses the zone, about the 10th OF Au-
gust, there is a shower of meteors more
or less abundant. according to the density
of the cosmical cloud. The meteors shoot
from the constellation Perseus, which is
for this reason called Perseides Some
times the showers are very brilliant, al
most rivaling the famous November ones
At ordinary times, an observer may be
reasonably sure of seeing several hun
dreds on the nights mentioned. These
meteors are distinguished from those be-
longing to other meteor systems by their
yellow color, and they leave behind them
trails of luminous vapor that often last
sveral seconds.
Poetry and superstition have given to
the August meteors the name of the fiery
tears of st. Lawrence, because they occur
on the anniversary of the day made MEM
1orable by the martyrdom of the famous
saint The constellation Perseus rises
late in the evening in the northeast, and
may be known by semi-circle of stars
forming the sword of the hero. Observers
on the nights mentioned will be sure to
see moderate display of meteors. They
may be rewarded for their pains by the
sight of golden shower of unusual abun-
dance and beauty. r6re Efl
Star-gazers in August will therefore,
find material for great employment as
they look upward on starlit nights. We

A NATTER OF MUSCLE.

One of the results of the freight-hand-
lers' strike now in progress is the demon
stratim of the physical incapacity of the
Russi,n Jews and Italians to do hard
work Those railroad companies that
have sought to replace the muscular
Irish and German strikers by cheap i'm
migration help, have learned to their
cost thtt while practical instruction and
patien! training may teach the green
hands bow to perform their duties, no
amount of experience will give them the
necessary strength and stamina. 1t is
admitted by the toremen in the various
railroad treight-houses that the new men
no sooner become familiar with the du.
ties required OF them, than they break
down physically, and have to stop work.
The reason for this is quite evident to
persons who have observed tue Russian
Jews and Italians at their meals Mel
ther the quality nor the quantity OF
their food Is calculated to fit them tor Sc
we're manual labor. A single piece OF
black bread soaked in water, and ba-
mana, or two constitute full meal for
one Of these economical foreigners. DC
casionally their bill of fare embraces beer,
cheese and crackers, but Is seldom that
any OF them eat meat or potatoes. The
effect Of tnis light diet is plainly visible
in the shrunken forms, the listless actions
and lack OF endurance that so plainly
distinguished the Russian Jews and the
lower class OF Italians from other work
ing-men The experience of the rail
road companies during the past few
weeks has shown that these ill-ted immi
grants are totally unfit to do the heavy
work required of freight handlers. ln
handling the heavy cases of goods, such
as are shipped by dry goods merchants
it requires five or six of these new men
to perform the work that would natur
ally fan to tue lot of one stalwart meat
eating Irishman. Muscle. built from
bread, cheese aad bananas cannot cope
with muscle that has plenty of beef ant
potatoes for its foundation and it is thl
fact more than any one thing else tha
gives the striking freight handlers as
surance of Ultimate success. The Rus
sian Jews ale less hardy than the 1tal
ians Mosto them are dwarfed in sta
ture, and have limbs no longer thar
those of a vell-developed boy IA or l!
years of age Their muscles are soft
their hands tender, and their vertebra
seemingly as plant as whalebone. The.
are continually complaining of being
tired, and are obliged to stop and res
every few minutes York Times.

The late DIR. John Brown, certainly
one of the most delightful essavists of his
time, was, strangely enough, afflicted
with a profound self-distrust. He could
not be persuaded that he was in any sense
a great writer, or that he could do any
thing people would care to read. No
number Of favorable reviews could change
his idea permanently on that head. 1t
might be pleasant for moment to read
them: it was kind, of course, in people to
write them; but they gave him no en-
couragement to try his hand again.
Not even Thackeray's letter, which he has
published, Or that of Wendell Holmes
which appeared lately in the Scotsman,
could make him at all believe that it was
his clear duty to go on. Therefore, his
friends had very hard work to get him to
take up his pen again. He would talk,
and tell the most delightful stories, and
make the gayest-hearted fun at pleasant
social gatherings; and one longed to have
a shorthand writer hid in some cupboard
near by to take down the wise, quaint
odd and tender words which then SO nat
urally flowed from him. But to sit down
and write, and still more to correct proofs,
the very thought of it seemed to freeze
him

says the Troy Times, "by the announce
ment that Vermont girl had gone to
California in response to a matrimonial
advertisement and had found her pros
pective husband hermit, living in a Sc
cluded gorge. The hermit now turns out
to be Frederick Moulton Shaw, of Los
Angeles, who was born in Rutland and
educated at Castleton, VT, where he is
we'll known. He went to California and
projected sanitarium at Los Angeles on
large scale, with water works, manufac.
tories and steamship lines. He secured
the cooperation and lost the money of
the leading men of the place. Shaw then
retired to small ranch, where he lived
in semi-civilized state, often sleeping in
trees. To the surprise of all, the young
lady who corresponded with him married
him on reaching California, and, though
the couple still live semi nomadic life,
the wife has gained an influence over her
husband which is leading him back to the
customs of civilization"

Times. One of the advertisers to whom
she wrote entered the house, it would aps
pear, without noticing the brass-plate on
the door which in London announces

way upstairs in what manner of dwelling
she had been beguiled. She sailed into
the drawing-room, and, without preface
of any sort, delivered her soul thus: eff

advertisement that wanted a situation
in gentleman's family, and | won't
trouble you no further" And so sailed

LEATHEROID.

Leatheroid is new article, which is
being made of paper It consists
of a number of thicknesses of cotton
paper wound sone upon another over
a cylinder. The remarkable qualities of
strength and adhesion it possesses are de-
rived from chemical bath, through
which the paper is drawn on fits way to
the cylinder. The effect OF the chemi-
cal bath on the paper is said to be won
derful Leatheroid, for the purpose it
now serves, consists of about twenty
thicknesses of paper; it is shaped upon
or around modls, while wet, into the form
it is to represent, and will hold that form
perpetualy when dry. When dry IL is
as difficult as raw hide to cut with knife.
A company has been formed at Kenne-
bunk, Me-, for the manufacture of this
article, and will at once build a large
mill there for that purpose. This COM
pany is making, for introduction into the
mills, rowing cans, boxes, etc., to take
the place of tin cans and. wooden boxes.
Cans made from this material are about
one fourth the weight of tin cans of equal
size; while tin cans are liable to get bent,
cans made from leatheroid are entirely
free from this objection They have the
elactisity of thin steel, and no amount of
kicking or handling will break them.
Orders have already been received from
several large mills for their rowing cans
and boxes, which are made seamless.
This substance is also used for covering
pulleys to large extent, making one Of
the smoothest and most lasting coverings
which can be obtained.
