AIR AND THE TELESCOPE.

The Air the Worst Enemy of the Astron-
omer's Observations.
The air we breathe is in truth the
worst enemy of the astronomers OBJ
servations. 1t is their enemy in two
ways. Part of the light which brings
its wonderful, evanescent messages
across inconceivable depths of space, it
stops; and what it does not stop, it
skaters. And this even when it is most
transparent and seemingly still: when
mist-veils are withdrawn, and no
clouds curtain the sky. Moreover, the
evil grows with the power of the instru-
ment. Atmospheric troubles are mag
nHied neither more nor less than the OBJ
iects viewed across them. Thus, Lord
Rosse's giant reflector possesses nom
tnattya magnifying power of 5000;
that is to say, it can reduce the Gppdr-
e9at distances of the heavenly bodies to
one six-thousandth their actual amount,
The moon, for example, which is in re-
atty separated from the earth surface
by an interval of about two hundred
and thirty-four thousand miles, is
shown as if removed only thirty-nine
miles. Unfortunately, however, in
theory only. Prof NeWcomb compares
the sight obtained under such circum-
stances to a glimpse through several
yards of running water, and doubts
whether our satellite has ever been seen
to such advantage as it would be if
brought substantially, not merely OPP
tica1ly within five hundred miles of
the unassisted eye.-Poputar Science

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

That Anecdote That Mr.. Sausage Tried
to Relate and the Exasperating Obstacles
He Net With.
/ think that one reason there are so
few good story tellers among US is that
the listeners are, in many instances, SO
willfully and stubbornly unappreciative
that it tends towards discouraging the
skillful narration Of frst-class anec-
dotes.
There were four of us together COM
ing across s.the divide a few years
ago, and this principle was then and
there calculated. Gibbon, Gregg and
myself were congenial acquaintance,
and we would have enjoyed the long
ride if had not been for man named
Sausage, who had only recently es-
capped from some 1ow-priced education
al institution. He had acquired few
case-lron facts Of the cyclopadia yari-
ETY., and with the odor Of the vale

St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1885-01-31

When Gibbon saw Mr.. Sausage get
on the stage he said to me, in low
voice: '.Nye, we are undone. Saw
sage will, doubtless, endeavor to relate
some anecdote to us on the way, and
then / shall commit an atrocious
crime"
But he didn't do so the first ten miles.
He contented himself by shedding other
information and explaining things that
he had just found in his physical
geography and stunning us with the
hard words that always float around
in the aquarium which young men refer
to as their brains.
Finally, however, some one reminded
him of story. Gregg tried to turn the
conversation, but it was of no use.
Said he: ut seems that many years ago

whose name is immaterial-"

We discussed the name for four or five
miles, and then allowed Sausage to pro-
coed.
"Well, as | was going to say, this
tourist, traveller or sojourner was pro-
pounding inquiries relative TO the CHI
mate, changes and isothernal-"
stNow, pardon me- said Gibbon,
..but are you sure that word is not pro-
nounced isothermal?''
/ ventured to remark that is-other-
nal was the correct accent, while Gregg
sided with Sausage. From quiet dis
cussion this grew into a regular row
which lasted at least ten miles. Then
we allowed the narrative to proceed.
ssWell, at least to make a long story
short, the traveller and a native Of this
country
Remember his name?" asked Gregg.
s'We'ye got the other mans name. We
ought to have this one.

the tourists name, you remember. :
Il beg pardon, said Gregg 4 don't
want to seem querulous and all the time
kicking up row with comparative
stranger, but you certainly gave US the
other gentleman's name.
We then had long and highly en-
joyable quarrel, during which Gibbon
and / challenged Gregg and Sausage to
fight us in dark room. each man to be
blindfolded and armed with an adZe.
Best man to pay all funeral expenses
and scrub out the room next day.
To this Gregg agreed, but Sausage
said he WASH t a very expert Alderman,
and wanted to apologize.
Gibbon and hesitated. Finally we
agreed to think it over, but in the mean
time we begged Sausage to go ahead
with his story, as we would reach the
home station in five minutes more.
At last he made out to tell the story
that Adam found under the currant
bushes when he went into the Garden
of Eden, about the place where the
year was divided into mine months
winter and three months late into the
fall.
At the station Sausage went on east
by the train, and we took No. 3 for Salt
Lake City. On the way Gregg, Gibbon
and each sent telegram to Mr.. Saw
sage separately, which read as follows,
to wit:

In a Bad Box.

A man can get into berth and shuck
himself very comfortably. He can
stand on his knees and duck his head
and take off some of his clothes, and
then he can lie down on his shoulders
or the back OF his neck and kick of
other articles of wearing apparel, be-
cause when the buttons are unbuttoned
his clothes are as liable to come off in
the dark as in the light But it is diff
ferent with a woman. Her clothes are
pinned on with all kinds of pins, from
the safety-pin to the darning-needle,
tied on with strings, hooked on with
hooks and eyes, buckled on with buck
les, and put on in many ways only
known to the fair sex. Give her large
enough room, three or four gas-lamps,
and large mirror and plenty of time,
and she can find nearly all the pins,
strings, hooks and eyes, buckles, etc,
and what she can't find she can break
at night and tie up in the morning; but
place her in small berth in the dark,
with only one or two eyes to watch all
the holes in the curtain to see if any,
body is looking, and only two small
hands to find things to unfasten, and
she is in bad box.

For abouta year ]. N. Grow, : young
attorney of this city, knd .. first t-classi isl-
low, has been paying devoted attention
to young lady by the name Of Nettse
Bernard. She was q lady Of marked
musical attainments, pretty form and
face and one Of the leaders of Mitchell
society. In time she and Mr.. Grow be-
came engaged. He went to work and
built pretty home, furnished it nicely
and the day Of the marriage was set for
the 23rd of this month. He bought Z
piano, fine furniture, and felt himself %
near the head Of household and fam
lily that he put his hard earned wealth
freely into his home. But last week his
dreams of house keeping and domestic.
happiness were turned to the most pain
tul nightmare. On the scene appeared
Mark Ward, Of Kimball, . man not un-
known to Southern Dakota. Mr. Ward
formerly resided at Canton, and banked
there as a partner Of F. A. Gale until
two years ago. Then he went to Kim
ball, and was member of the Dakota
legislature last winter. He saw Miss
Bernard, was charmed with her voice
and beauty, and began rapid courtship,
which resulted in their clandestine trip
to minister and marriage. Its pre-
sumed that Mr.. Ward knew Of her ap-
preaching nuptials with Mr.. Grow a the
matter has been known here for some
months. Whether he acted the honor
able part is not known, or whether tho
fascinating Miss Bernard insisted on the
change and he succumbed is still . ques.
ton in the minds of Mitchellites. Mr..
Grow is young man entitled to kinder
considerations. During the building Of
his house Miss Bernard was an interested
party, suggesting styles Of architecture.
several changes in the interior, kind of
furniture and various things. that shows
the cruelty Of her deception. Mr.. Crow
takes his disappointment stocially, and
certainly has reason to congratulate
himself that he escaped being bound to
a woman Of her instability of character.
The people Of Mitchell do not speak Of
Wards actions in respectful manner.
There was a decided deception some
where. and Ward and his bride are vel.
come to all the glory they can get out Of
their eleventh-hour escapade.
