The great Lick telescope. although not yet iu

power by its clearer presentation OF objects 10.

Infinitely more remote stellar universe. Its latest
performance Is said to be the discovery OF suns
Infinitely remote, In that great gulf OF the sky
which, because It has proved to be so empty 10

''the hole In the sky" Mr.. Boutwell, once wanted

mole In tue sky"-never dreaming that the alleged
hole was occupied by universe Of suns, many OF
which, very likely, are bigger than ours and all OF
which probably have their own systems OF atten-
dant planets Suns so remote that their light,
flashing through the star depths at the rate OF
Isl, 900 mil s per second, takes thousand years
TO reach our world may well have remained hith-
erto unseen, buried In fathomless space. II takes
fraction over eight minutes for the suns light to
reach the earth, but the sun is only 81, O0O, 600

with circitng suns and systems nothing less than
eternity for mental development would serve TO
qualify human minds even approximately TO

How He Buys an Engagement Ring.

"It's funny to see the different ways in which
various men select engagement rings" said a jew
eler's clerk, "and when man comes In here for
that purpose every clerk in the store can recog.
nize the fact at once. OF course he has only come
in TO look at some watches or q PAIR Of sleeve
buttons, but the very manner in which he avoids
the ring case betrays him at once. After q few
minutes, when he feels little more at his ease,
he usually takes the clerk into his confidence and
asks to be shown some sOlitaires II It's his first
venture and he doesn't feel quite sure OF his
ground he viii even go 90 far as 70 ask II solitaires
aren't sometimes used as engagement rings The
clerks answer usually removes the last vestlge OF

SOther men, again, walk In with the news tust

Mr.. Cox ON the Tariff.
He MAKES SPEECH WHICH PROvOEEs APPLAUSE
AND LAUGHTER

As soon as MI. Cox began TO speak in the House
this afternoon all the chairs around him filled up
rapidly, and there appeared to be the best at
tendance Of any period Of the debate. He held
that the prime question was to reduce
the surplus. He had been and was ready to vote
to lake on almost any taxes He would vote to DO
away with the entire internal revenue
system If there was no other way
to reduce the surplus He recounted
the various propositions for the reduction Of the
surplus showing objections to them all until he
came to that OF tarn reduction, which he consi l.
cred the one direct and proper way to prevent the
surplus
He thought that taxes should stay In the tax
payers pocket as long as possible. Taxation Was
a sacrtfie required OF citizens for the good Of
the whole community, and there should
be an equal distribution or the sacrifice, and no
more sacrifice should be required than absolutely
necessary. ne said that he would not characterize
the system Of taxation as robbery as had been
done. 1t did not ruiflli the definition. The theft
was done while the victim was on his guard;
while he slept-it was burglary.
His speech throughout was full OF wit and clever
points, characteristic though serious. He was APP
plauded frequently and at tunes his quick Wiz and
satire provoked laughter.
