about the Amerlcanism of his pupils.
Neither was there any doubt about their
age and their good looks. They were all
young and moderately handsome.
AS 1t is not every day lat one has an
opportunity to discover a bevy of pretty
American maidens at school for the ballet,
a word or two about their appearance can
scarcely be amiss. Down to their waist
they were clad in tight-ftting vests.
These vests were of various colOrs. Some
were OF blue, some were of white. and
some were of red. None had sleeves. 1t
is part of NJ. Bibeyrau's method to train
the upper as we'll as the lower limbs in
the ways of grace. Below the waist NJ.
Bibeyrau's pupils were costumed in a
sort OF fairy "OlOomer." The outlying
folds or tissues of this extraordinary gar
ment consisted OF white gauze, beneath
which were brooches of cotton cloth which
ended at the knees and which were sup
plemented, from the knees down. by silk
stockings of various hues. Pink, white
andblue slipperO encased the feet of the
fair students,
M. Bibeyrau was provided with fiddle.
With this instrument under his arm he
marched boldly up and down the line of
blushing, giggling girls. They were all
clinging with their left hands to the brass
railing. as has been described, with right
feet ditferentlally extended towards their
preceptOr, as il by way of salute. 1t was
all very funny, but the professor was
solemnity itself. Suddenly he paused in
his tour of inspection. The uplifted limbs
of the fair students wobbled wofully
about. The % little white fists clenched
the brass rod with renewed vigor, and
there was a desperate and manifest deter
mination on the part Of the class to come
to a respectful and motionless present
arms.
1t has been said by a clever writer in
describing the movements Of a queen of
the ballet shat she stood on her left toe
and projected her right limb, thereby be-
coming quarter to six and that she
then stood on her right toe and stuck out
her left leg and became quarter past
six" The twenty-five members of BIZ
beyrau's class, carrying out this figure Of
speech, ranged from about TWENTY-FIVE 10
nineteen minutes of six. STOPPING sud
denly down and taking mold of the heel OF
girl who was but minute or two better
than half-past five, the professor swung
her right limb up towards the ceiling
until she was at least 8 :52 p. m.
After this preliminary adjustments OF
their dancing gear the yonng ladies' were
instructed in the art Of walking upon
their toes, and were taught how to pick
up imaginary bouquets with their right
hands while the left lower limbs were eX-
tended skyward at right angles to the
nape Of their necks.
The professor is enthusiastic on the
subject of his class, and says that the
American ballet will be E'Ze ballet of re
future"

ANDRoNIEDA's NEW STAR.
Probably a World in Process of Partu.
ritiOn.


From the Commercial a dCertiser.
Even to those of us who are not astron-
omers, the recent appearance of a new
star in Andromeda is fact of the utmost
interest and picturesqueness. The nebu-
lar hypothesis teaches that all heavenly
bodies, including our own sun and its at
tendant planets, were formed by the slow
cooling Of gases, first into molten masses
Of red-hot solld material, slowly to go on
cooling and contracting while describing
their appointed courses in space.
The existence of nebul9, or cloud-like
masses of star matter in the heavens, has
furnished a strong support to the theory,
but until now no one of the nebule has
afforded us sight of that contamination
to which the hypothesis assumes that
their existence and nature tend; no nebu-
lac has finished the process of world par
turition and brought forth its young in
our presence.
That is seemingly what has now oc-
CURED. The first and most natural as
sumption Of astronomers is that the neb-
ul@ which star-gazers have watched and
studied through ages has at length given
birth to sun or a system, and thus set
the seal of observed fact upon the theory
that worlds and suns and systems are
born of star mists in that way.
The assumption that this Is what has
happened receives support from facts al
ready observed. The nebula In which the
new star appears differs from other cloud
like masses of the kind in a way which
seems to indicate it's greater advancement
toward the crisis of world formation.
The spectrum of other nebul8 is that of
heated gases; the spectrum of this one is
that which is given by solid or molten
masses, or by gases in state of extreme
compression and condensation. In a
word, the spectrum of the nebula midi
Gates that it is in precisely the state in
which, according TO the nebular theory,
it should begin to collect its matter into
stars.
Again, when the new star was first seen
it was apparently a ''star-like nucleus"
which has rapidly developed into a star
| of the eighth or greater magnitude. Here,
again, we have a strong suggestion Of
| actual star formation in our presence.
! If that is what has happened, the occur
! renee is unquestionably the most impOr-
tant one in it's bearings upon the advance
OF certain knowledge in astronomy that
has occurred since men first began 10
record the results OF heavenly obserYa-
! tions.
Whatever the explanation may be, the
| fact is certain that a new star has APP
peared where there was none before. II
| it has not been newly formed there, 1t
must be what is called variable" that
is to say, a star whose brightness under
goes periodical increase and dimmutioI,
! and il so, its period Of variation must be
50 great that its last previous success Of
| brightness occurred thousands OF years
| ago, before the date when orderly as
| Economical records were begun.

LETTERS FROM A CORPSE.
A Washington Lady's Life Wrecked by
Notes from Her Dead Husband.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-The Pension
Office records show a remarkable case of
life in death. In 1864 Lieutenant from
an Ohio village was killed in one of the
battles in Virginia and his body was sent
home, buried and handsome monument
erected over it. He left a widow. For
more than 20 years she has been trying to
get a pension, but, although she keeps
fresh flowers upon her husbands grave,
she cannot prove that he is dead.
The records in the Adjutant Generals
office are perfect, and atfidavits can be
furnished from thousands OF people who
saw and recognized his lifeless body, but
every few months she receives a letter
from the dead man, written in hand as
familiar as her own.
Two letters never come from the same
place. Now they are pOstmarked in
Colorado, then in Texas, then in New
York. Once she got a note from him
dated at Washington. he appears to
know what is going on at home, and al
ways alludes to local occurrences with a
familiarity that is amazing. He sends
messages to old friends ard gives her
advice about business matters which il
seems impossible for a stranger to know.
She cannot answer because he never gives
any clue TO his whereabouts and no detec-
tive has ever been able to find him.
Her friends believe that tie writer of the
letter is some crank or malicious person
who takes this way TO annoy her. Sew
eral times the writer has intimated that
he might soon pay her visit, but the
next letter always contains an apology
for not having done so.
The woman has suffered agony OF mind
beyond description and her life has been
ruined by this horrible mystery but of
late she has became more resigned and
would neither be surprised or disap-
pointed if her husband should some day
walk into her house.
