The Catalogue or the stars.

1t is not from America, but from
France that the colossal proposal
comes for preparing catalogue Of
2,O00,O00 OF stars. This bold concep.
ton emanates from DR.. Gill, whose
astronomical observations at the Cape
and elsewhere have produced some
notable results, and who has put forth
his scheme for n star catalogue on this
gigantic scale in the organ Of the bu-
reau Of tho Permanent International
Committee for the execution or a pho.
tOgraphic map Of the heavens. DR..
Gill contemplates the establishment of
q central Office under the direction of a
chief, with assistant secretaries. and a
staff OF measurers and computers. The
work. 1T is calculated, would occnpy. 25
years. Admiral Mouchez, who defends
the proposal against some rather fierce
opposition which 1t fas provoked, saw
that astronomers estimate the ayerara,
cost Of observing and calculating eacf,
star at 10f. 1t follows that the bro.
posed catalogue woald cost 90, 900, DOOR,
or 9800, 900. SoO' =

A CLEVER TRICK.
How n Tramp Travelled From Omaha
to New York on Ono Dollar.

During the winter OF 1877 large
number of telegraph operators WHO had
gone out to Omaha from New York
were discharged owing to lack Of work.
Among them was one, Jim Doody by
name. who mad saved nothing ana was
totally unprepared for the catastrophe.
He awoke one morning with just one
dollar In his pocket. His relatives
lived in New York and how to get
there was a question that severely aeI-
tated Jlm's mind. Finally he evolved
a scheme, desperate but clever. He
was we'll dressed and looked as neat
and gentlemanly as could be. Going
Into the ticket office he asked for q
ticket to- New York. The clerk took
one out. stamped 1T and handed It over.
Jim looked at 1t moment, then sud
denly Remembered an engagement to
be kept before leaving town and rushed
out Of the Office.
In this way he found out what o New
York ticket looked like. Next, he Sc
cured an old calendar, printed on paper
somewhat resembling q long.distance
sectional railway ticket, and from this
he cut strip Of proper width. This
strip he folded In such a way as to rem
resent the various. coupons, and with
this absurd counterfeit OF a ticket he
proposed to reach New York. 1t cost
him fifty cents to cross the iUn,ted
States transfer bridge between Omaha
and Council Bluffe. SC, his capital was

Tho Cat and tho Eagle.

Il strange combat recently took
place in Scotland, in the null Of Kin
tyre. AS a lobster fishing boat was
passing along the shore where it is
mountainous and bare, the crews at
tention was attracted by q noise pro.
ceeding from what seemed to be bat
tie that was waged on the brow OF q
steep hill near tho shore. Tor somo
few minutes the fishermen failed to
recognize the character or the comba-
tants, but their minds were soon set al.
rest on this point when the well-known
squalling Of a cat. struck their ears.
The real facts Of the case were now
apparent. A prowling cat had been
pounced upon by an eagle. Up the
combatants scared, while the feathers
that flew from the eagle and spread in
oil directions convinced the fishermen
that the battle was continued in the
air. The fishermen watched the strange
combat until the combatants seemed n
mere black speck in the sky. Suddenly
the speck resolved itself into two and
tho cat came down through the air
with frlshtful velocity, sometimes as
round as a ball and anon stretched at
full length. 1T soon reached tito ground. !.
The fishermen proceeded on their jour
ncy, but ne xt day, when passing near
the scene OF the previous days incident
to their astonishment, the. cats carcass,
could nowhere be found. Near tho
spot, however, q large, newly-dead
eagle was discovered with the flesh lit.
orally torn off It's body to such an ex.
tent that tho bones were exposed TO
view. This clearly demonstrated that
the cal, was more than a mat ch for the
King OF birds, but how puss escaped
being dashed to pieces when it struck.
the ground remains niYaterv.
