New York. The height of her ambition
measured the exact dimensions of the

that classically operate song, "Oh, My
Little Darling, Love You" and had got
SO far as to assert that nothing in

movement of Mercury call for such body
between it and the sun. Ifthetwo white
stars which Prof. Trouvelot detected in
the corona were really planets, as he be-

the sun as our moon is to the earth, or
even nearer-a fact which refutes the
theory that the suns heat is so great that
it would dissipate body revolving round
it within the orbit of Mercury.

The Crown to be worn at the ap-
preaching Coronation of the En-
peror of Russia dates from the year
1868, and is the masterpiece of the
Court-jewcller, jeremiah Pauzie, a
native of Geneva, who made it for
the Coronation of the Empress
Catherine III. Its chief ornament is
the Orlof Diamond, which is said to
weigh no carats and to be worth
$4,000, 900 roubles. 1t formerly be-
longed to the Brahmin temple ut
Tcherigam, aud was stolen by q
French Grenadier when it came into
the possession Of Prince Orlof, who
presented it to the Empress. The
sceptre, too, made by order of Paul

1875 carats, bought by Catherine III.

roubles. Its present worth is csti-
mated at 100000 roubles. This
brilliant diamond formed one eye of
the massive golden lion OIL the throne
of the Shah Nadir; the other eye
was the famous koh-i-noor, now i'll
possession of the Queen Of England.
