Four bright stars now form a starry
curve or arc that may be easily traced
late in the evening. The four stars
are Regulus, Mars, Jupiter and Spica,
in the order mentioned. Regulus may
be knewn as the bright star in the
handle of the Sickle, and the other
three are readily recognized.
On election day Judge George w.
Ward, of Arlington, Va, was confined
to his room. He placed himself in q
window in sight of the polls, 100 yards
away, tied his ballot to key, and let
it slide along string attached to the
ballot-box. The crier recognized him,
cried his vote, and the ballot went in
to the box.
The trade in painted photographs
of the works of famous artists has
assumed such large deminsions in
Germany that Defregger and other
well-known artists have engaged a
lawyer to prosecute the offending
parties, who, it seems, aggravate their
offense by celebrating the signatures
of the artists from the photographs.

High Peaks of the Andes.

Prof. Bickmore's lecture at the Mu-
scum of Natural History Saturday ear
ried his audience along the Andes from
trating with views the character of the
country and the people in the countries
that border the mountains. He fol-
lowed mainly the authority of Humboldt,
but presented also the results of later
travellers whose explorations have been
accepted as more accurate. The Andes
ranges are not continuous, as often sup
posed, he said, but are frequently separ-
ated by low depressions. In Mexico the
country is divided into three zones-the
hot, temperate, and the cold lands on
the mountains. In Guatemala the
ranges are marked and clearly defined,
and there are many high peaks, though
none so high as those in Mexico. The
buildings in this country are many of
the ancient structures which the early
Spaniards erected. All are in more
or less advanced state of ruin and pre-
sent many types of architecture. The
Moorish forms were also repeated by the
builders, copied from what had existed
in Spain. Some of the cities of Guate-
mala seem to be walled in by the noun
tains, and the ruins are often overgrown
with luxuriant vegetation. The South
American continent has not many har-
bors Or islands with the exception of the
southwest Pacific coast. In Ecuador the
group of peaks, of which Chimborazo is
the highest, was pointed out. This
mountain was at one time regarded as
the highest on the globe, but its altitude
is now placed at 20,5OO feet, while
another South American mountain
reaches 21,0O0 feet. These are inferior
to Mt Everest of the Himalayas, which
the Indian survey has recorded as 49,
O029 feet. The highest mountain on the
globe Mr.. Bickmore considers are two
volcanoes of the Sandwich islands
whose peaks are $4,000 feet above the
water, and whose bases are at the bot
tom of 5000 fathoms of the sea, making
them more than 81, ZOO feet in height

New Ribbons for Autumn,

New ribbons in preparation for au-
sumn are woven in canvas-like meshes,
striped or brocaded with gilt and finished
with feathered edges. Plush ribbons OF
a solid color on one side have the other
side in gay Roman stripes. Velvet rib
bons have scalloped edges, or tiny tas-
sells on their selvages, and are satin on
the reverse side. Ribbed velvet ribbons
come in two shades eNquisitely blended.
The watered ribbons are in every tint
of every color, and in all widths from
half an inch to seven-inch widths for
sashes. The Pompadour striped rib
bons will be again imported, though
they have not found favor here for
trimming summer toilets. - Harper's
