Based upon the fact that a small
quantity of lime water added to hard
water soflens it by precipitating the
chalk, IA process has been i'll use at Hen
ley-on-Thames for the last four years
which. at the cost of less than "A half
penny per 1000 gallons. uniformly re-
duces the hardness of the Henley water
from Is to . degrees. The Daily News
CLondon) describes a recent inspection
oi the process, the apparatus for which
is pronounced most useful, easily
managed. and thoroughly reliable" 1t
is said that in public institutions the net
profit of using soft water instead of hard
exceeds 20 per cent. per annum on the
price" of the apparatus. As for the com
fort and convenience of soft water as
compared with hard everybody knows

Alpha Centaurii. the leading star in
the constellation of the Centaur, is the
nearest star to the earth, so far as
known. Its distance is usually placed at
from 20, 900, 600, 600. 900 to 20, 900. OO0.-
900. 900 miles from the earth. A star
called Sixty-one Cygni is classed as sec
ond in distance. being put at 81. $780,
900. 900, 900 miles distance from our
globe. Most OF the stars, however, are
millions OF times further away from MS
than these. Light travels about 1856 900
miles in every second OF time. and yet
with this inconceivably rapid velocity il
would take light about twelve years to
traverse the space separating US from
that star. From the greater portion of
the stars light would be many centuries
in reaching us.-St. Louis Globe Demo-

The case of the late mad King Louis

Next day Humboldt found himself
seated at the dinner-table of the famous

guests. One of them, who was dressed
in black. with white cravat. gold bowed

and very bald head, sat with great grav-

lady daughter whose lives offer them
the perfect freedom that wealth
and leisure insures. They could
live abroad or at home, the father being

house in this city fitted up to their lik-

life that involves constant interruption
and the hardships and discomforts OF

Suddenly, before il was time to leave

The morning of April 8, 1862, broke

Union army had not a hospital on land
