w;,,ch such knowledge was passed from
man to man by word of mouth, woven
into tales and learned as a part of the
lore of the sailor, the hunter or the tile,

shis knowledge of the sky was put into
the formal shape of maps, globes or cata-
logues. Eudoxus is said to have con-
structed a celestial globe B. G. $3.50.
Globes would naturally precede maps
and maps mere lists or catalogues.

Of Ptolemy, but those of the great Hip
parchus (B. G. 12O. It contains the
description of 1,022 stars, their positions,
and their brightness. Here we meet for
the first time the name magnitude of q
star. Ptolemy divides all the stars into
observation-disclosures of brightness
Sirius, Capella, are of the first magnt
tude; the faintest stars visible to the eye
are of the sixth. But Ptolemy has gone
further, and divides each magnitude into
three parts. The moderns divide each
class into ten parts, that is, decimally.--

Gotham's Chinese Restaurant.

Unlike Americans, the Chinese do not
generally pay by the dishes ordered, but
by the tables or spreads, called by the
Chinese ''Gzuh." A first class spread
includes about forty courses, and it takes
two days to finish the feast. 1t costs $50.
A second class spread, with twenty
eight courses, costs $40. A third class
spread, with eighteen courses, costs $25.
The cheapest spread contains eight
courses for IS. This is the lowest price
for which a man can order a formal din.
ner in q first class Chinese restaurant.
But then the spread is made for any
number of people within twelve.
If a man simply wants to eat q short
meal for himself and a friend or two, he
can get ready made dishes Of fish, chick
en-, duck. pigs feet, rice, tea, etc.,
cheaper than in any other restaurant, be-
sides many dishes peculiar to Chinatown.
The prices run from five to twenty-five
cents. The foods are all chopped in
small pieces, rendering knives and forks
unnecessary. The Chinese table imple-
ments are chopsticks, Of ebony or ivory,
a tiny little tea cup, and a porcelain
spoon.-Wong Chin Foo in The Cosmo.

When did astronomy have its begin
nings on the earthl There have been
many learned attempts to answer this
question. They all have led to the con-
clusion that long before the historic
period there was a large common stock
OF knowledge; so large, in fact, that one
distinguished writer finds it simplest to
ascribe the origin of astronomy to the
teaching Of an extinct race: ''Ce peuple

Astronomy is older than the first re
cords OF any nation. In order that the

Manufacture of India Paper.

India paper, which the Chinese cali
lehi, is made from hemp, mulberry bark,
cotton, bamboo, rice straw. barley straw,
and from the interior membrane of silk
worm cocoon Sometimes the whole OF
the stalks Of a years growth are used,
The pulp is mixed, after it has been pre-.
pared, with a given proportion Of vege-
table gum called hotong in China The
paper is nodded in molds made Of fine
bamboo filament. Those sheets, sixty
feet in length, which the Chinese are said
to make, are supposed to be fabricated
by artfully joining several small sheets at
the moment of laying the paper. India
paper, being too thin to bear handling or
any strain, is mounted on vellum, which
serves as a lining to it, and the white
borders of which set it off as a frame
would do. The sheets are kept in a dry
place, far away from the fire, and may

London and French Shopkeepers.

London shopkeepers expect their GUS
toners to know what they want and take
it if they find it; French ~shopkeepers dis
play more wares on their counters than
they have got on their shelves in the hope
of tempting weak human nature-the
weak feminine nature-to buy what is
shown, whether needed or not. In a
London shop a customer will always be
treated with great civility; in a French
shop a customer viii not be treated at all
she will simply be endured. Some.
thing of this passive disrespect of the GUS
toner is 10 be encountered in those great
private shopping institutions of England,

unpleasantness in this case, however, is
the u~ndoubted ~cheapness of the articles,
which are actually sold at wholesale

appreciated the new departure is best evidencedin
the fact that the SIN reached a circulation of $780,
o a day, and The DAILY News $4,000. The
wonderful and constantly growingpopularity ofthe
condensed, low-priced papers has SO far broughtthe
cumbrous and high-priced blanket-sheets to their
senses, that they have now somewhat reformed
both as to size and price, but they are still too far
removed from the true ideal Of American jour
nalism to meet the needs Of the great majority.

Forty years ago the chief duty Of an editor, in
view Of his limited facilities, was to gather all the
news he could and print it. Intelligence was
transmitted slowly; many occurrences of interest
were never heard of beyond their immediate
locality; ocean mails were long in transit, and the
overthrow Of an European dynasty was not known
here until long after the event. Suddenly there
came a change. The railroad and the telegraph
superseded old methods, and the newspaper was
literally flooded with news. The death Of a petty
ward politician in San Francisco, the result Of a
Presidential election, the accession Of sovereign,
the outbreak of wal, and notice that a shanty had
beenburdenin Texas, allwere hurried overthe wires
into the newspaper offices, and there being ,..kNI
no idea of discrimination, all were printed. NSNHtI

to say that such a circulation could not be attained,
much less maintained, except by a paper Of high
grade Of excellence, as well as one sold at popu-

paper must be as good a newspaper as the best Of
Of its higher-priced competitors. And this THE

Is Doesn't Follow the Sun Around as
 the Poets All Declare.
 One by one the roses fall and one by one the bright delusions of our youth are dis, pelled. The struggle for existence year by year knocks the poetry out of our lives, and if this were not enough of that sort of thing there is always some crank at work to the same end. The latest development in this line has been made by fellow who has spent all summer watching a row of sum- flowers in his garden to prove that these gor- geoHs and Rsthetic flowers do not turn their faces to the sun all day long. Who has not read Tom Moore's beautiful lines in which he sings "How the sunfower turns to her god when he sets, the same look that she turned when he rose," and exclaimed what beautiful poetry! And how the lines were recalled every time sunhowers was seen noddine over garden wall or back yard fence, and who ever thought of being so critical and unpoetical as to watch the flower all day to see whether it really did turn or not?
 But, according to the Oregonian, fellow has been found out in Portland with no poe try in his soul who has undertaken this job. He drove stakes and set compass and took regular observations, and visited the flower three times day, morning, noon and night, and he says:
 'sWell, I found no twisting of the pedun- ole in a circle, no turning of the flower after the sun, none whatever. My flowers faced respectively north, south, east, west, north. east and southeast, as they did when I set my marks at them. So far as facing toward the sun, there was no movement that could detect One slight alteration did notice ir some, but not all of the flowers with which I was experimenting, tendency of the head to droop or incline toward the earth as, tn, seeds began to form.
