Your cure broke them at once, and there has
been no recurrence Of them for moro than

WONDERS OF TIE HEAVENS.


Orion and His Neishbors-The Little Dog
and the Twins, Aurisa and Taurus.
If the observer goes out between ten and
eleven O'Clock at night, at this time of the
year, and faces the south, he will see the
consultations here represented high up in
the sky, and extending from side to side
across nearly the whole southern quarter of
the heavens. Orion is readily recognized
by the three stars forming the belt, lying
somewhat askew, in the center of paral-
telegram, two of whose corners are marked
by the first magnitude stars Betelgeuse and
Rigel This belt may serve as a convenient
measuring-sticlx for an observer, as it is
just three degrees in length. Another
celestial yardstick is furnished by Rigel
and Betelgeuse, which are about eighteen
degrees apart. The belt OF Orion, as
we said before, serves to point out the
chief of all the stars, Sirius, which may
be seen in the center of the map at
the bottom. The first bright star above
Sirius, and appearing in the left hand side
OF the map about on a level with Orion is
Procyon, the leading brilliant OF the small
constellation of the Little Dog. Above
Procyon is the constellation of the Twins,

tor and Pollux, and a number OF smaller

TIE WHITE AFRICANS.
Explorer Stanley's Emphatic Repetition OF
aMuch-Questioned Statement.


aMuch-Questioned Statement.
Justat this point l improved the good
chance of getting some information
from Stanley about the mysterious
''white Africans" who are said to exist
in the interior of the continent. Hav.
ing Just written novel about them
was naturally anxious-now that it was
just too late for any corrections-to
find out exactly how many mistakes ]
had made. at was in Mtesa country
that you met those white Africans from
Gambaragara, wasn't it?" inquired L.
''Do you really think there are whole
nation of them in the interior, as some
people sayP" ''Indeed | do. Mtesa' s
officers told me that there were great
numbers of them settled upon the slopes
of Mt. Gordon Bennett Chat big ex,
tinct volcano, you know, to the north
east of the great lakes), and that they
were timid, unwarlike set, more
given to skulking among the rocks
than coming out for fair fight
in the open. The four that
saw in Urganda were tall, slen-
der, long-limbed fellows, with brown
curly hair, rather prominent noses,
lips somewhat full and thick Though
not all of the African type), and COM
plexions not bit darker than muatto
in our Southern States.'' "And do YOU
really think they're a pure-blooded
African race? Mightn't they be de-
scended from the first Portuguese colo
nists, who settled ON the East African
coast in the days of Vasco da Cana
and Albuquerque" mo, | shouldn t
think that very likely. What would
the Portuguese be doing thereP
don't fancy they ever got as far inland
as that. It's much more probable that
they're a tribe of light colored Ethi-
opians, or perhaps of Copts, driven
down from the north by conquest. Be-
ing, as the Waganda told me, an I'M
warlike and timid race, they would
naturally keep themselves secluded in
these mountain Businesses of theirs,
avoiding all contact with the fiercer
tribes around them. ''And in that
way" suggested l, ''they would pre-
serve their light complexion unmixed. :"
Just so; and as | tell you they were no
darker than light mulatto-some of
them perhaps not quite so dark. +"
"And their women were very hand
some, were they not?" "They were in
deed-handsomer than any that l saw
elsewhere in Africa, although some of
the Urganda women were very good
looking, too. One of my chief cap
tains was married to woman from
Urganda, who went all the way down
the Congo with our expedition. "-DaUid

.AoDERN SCIENCE.
Its Discoveries in Regard to Mans Senses
and Constitution.

Its Discoveries in Regard to Mans Senses
and Constitution.
The experiments which have been
and are being made in Germany and
in this country on the five senses show
that there is no especial apparatus for
each in the human system 1t has
been proven that touch, for example,
is not function of the skin solely, as
heretofore believed, but is an org@niza-
ton which works out its wonderful
results through distinctly created ma
chinery. This \ machinery registers
the minutest pressure and the slightest
alteration in temperature. Scientists
demonstrate that there are distributed
spots on the skin which are cold and
hot, and that there are places interme-
diate between these oscillations which
are insensible both to pain and to cold.
These epidermal spots are unequally
distributed over varieties of human
bodies, but are to be found in such size
and localities as are best adapted to
the wants of an individual; and further,
that they peculiarly differ in their dis
tribution on the body of the same per-
son. 1t is stated, too, that the places
intermediate between the cold and heat
spots may be pierced with a sharp in
strument without producing pain. All
feeling, of course, proceeds from the
brain, the apparatus of touch being but
a register in given localities of the
human organism. A gentle pressure
on the hidden springs of the machinery
is at once telegraphed to the brain, aasi
the answer is sensation pleasurable or
painful. Another discovery has been
made, and it is that the whole of the
esophagus is alive to temperature, thus
evincing that the apparatus of touch is
made sensitive even there by the at
mospheric pressure. In fact, if the
hidden organs could be reached, it
would be seen that the organ of feeling
variously operates upon them. 1t is no
longer conjectured that the entire
surface of the body breathes, and
German scientists go so far as to
say that in the experiments touch
ing the five senses they indicate
the external covering of the human
body as the primeyal and reliable source
Of knowledge of the external world. "
and justify the belief that further re-
searches may ''shed more light on
some of the fundamental problems OF
pscychical action and unfolding" That
is going too far in the reputation Of
the primary motor, mind. Neverthe-
less, the onward stride of science is
developing something wholly new in
regard to that ''fearfully and wonder
fully made being, man, and the Gu
rious part of it is that man himself is
becoming gradually but surely to attain
a knowledge of himself! Discoveries
as to touch and temperature are the
most recent of wonders, and the twen-
tieth part of the mysteries of each have
not yet been developed.-M Y. Mer-

principal stars are located. The bright
star Procyon, in the Little Dog, is very in
teresting and remarkable, because astron-
omers have found thatit is accompanied by
an invisible companion. This unseen star
betrays its presence by pulling Procyon
now this way and now that, OF course
these motions could never se detected by
the naked eye. But the refined instruments
OF measurement used by astronomers en-
able him to detect them, and he is even
able to make not wholly untrustworthy
estimate Of this mysterious dark star, and
its distance from Procyon. The two are
unquestionably revolving around one an
other, but, as its companion is invisible,
Procyon seems like some traveller of the
sky staggering under burden.
The two first magnitude stars in the
Twins mark the heads OF these interesting
celestial brothers. The right hand and
northernmost is Castor and the other is
Pollux. Everybody knows the romantic
story of these brothers as il is related in
Grecian mythology. Castor is one OF the
most splendid of the double stars. 1t does
not require very powerful telescope
to separate the two components OF this
beautiful star, aud the effect OF the two
stars almost touching one another, and
outshining any diamonds is indescriba-
