Some Wonderful Estimates of the Move
ments of the Various Planets.

Some Wonderful Estimates of the Moves
ments of the Various Planets.
The elder Strive made the movement Of
the sun through space to be about five miles
a second, but on the supposition of the
brightest stars being between two and three
times nearer to us than they seem really to
be. We can now see that the actual speed Of
the solar system can scarcely fall short of
twelve or exceed twenty miles second. By
a moderate estimate, then, our position in
space is changing to the extent of 5OO,OOO,OOO
miles annually, and a collision between our
sun and the nearest fixed star would be in
evitable (were our course directed in
straight line toward it, after the lapse OF
$4,000 years.
Theold problem of chow the heavens move"
successfully attacked in the solar system, has
retreated to a stronghold among the stars,
from which it will be difficult to dislodge it.
In the stupendous mechanism of the sidereal
universe the acting forces can only betray
themselves to us by the varying time con-
figurations of its parts But as yet our knowl-
edge of stellar movements is miserably scanty.
They are apparently so minute as to become
perceptible in general, only through obser-
walton of great precision extending Yer a
number of years. Even the quickest moving
star would spend 257 years in crossing an arc
of the heavens equal to the disk Of the full
moon Yet all the time owing to the incon-
ceivable distances of the objects in notion
these almost evanescent displacements repre-
sent velocities in many cases so enormous as
to battle every attempt to account for them.
Runaway stars" are no longer of extreme
rarity One in the Great Bear, known as
"Groombridge, $780," invisible to the naked
eye, but sweeping over at least 200 miles each
second, long led the van of stellar speed
Professor Pritchard's Photographic deter
mination of the parallax of Cassiopeia shows,
however, that inconspicuous object not only
to be sun about forty times as luminous as
our own, but to be travelling at the prodig-
ious rate of 100 mies-while DIR. Elkin's result
for Arcturus gives it a velocity of little less
than 400 miles-a secondl
The express" star of the southern hemi-
sphere, so far, is one of the fourth magnitude
situated in Toucan. Its speed of about 200
miles second may, however, soon turn out
to be surpassed by some of the rapidly NOV
ing stars picked out for measurement at the
Cape Among them are some pairs drift
ing" together, and presumed therefore to be
connected by a special physical bond and to
lie at nearly the same distance as ourselves,
This presumption will now be brought to the
test.-Contemporary Record.

A Oueer PocketboOk,

A bright, proud, very pretty young lady,
with portion of a bologna sausage clasped
tightly in her gloved left hand, created some
quiet amusement in Walnut Hill car Thurs
day afternoon She had run out of Cavagnas
with several parcels in her hand just in time
to catch car Painting, she accepted seat
rendered her by a great big fellow, who, hap
pening to look down, saw the piece of bologna
in her hand, and had considerable of time
preventing an explosion. Then the conductor
passed through the car. When he approached
the young lady the packages were dropped in
her lap and the right hand reached toward
the left, her eyes unconsciously following. A
deep blush spread over her face as she
dropped the bologna. Springing up she asked
the conductor to stop the car, and she alighted
The big fellow laughed heartier than ever
In her hurry to catch the car, while in Ca
vagna's, after making some purchases, she
hastily picked up what she thought was her
purse. 1t proved to be a piece Of bologna
sausage lying on the counter, and, never
glancing at it, she hurried off. The fire
flashed out of her eyes when she returned to
Cavagna's for her purse. but not word of
reproach was uttered The purse was there
awaiting her, and, taking it, she was soon
seated in another car, riding toward her
home. Cincinnati Enquirer.

In its simplest form, the bunk is merely
wooden surface supported by four legs The
poorest people cover it with tightly stretched
but carve the legs and edges into Thousand

ting with rugs and mats until it becomes a
couch worthy of ancient Rome.
1t is a bed that needs no making up, that
never squeaks or breaks down, is never dis
arranged and can be kept exquisitely clean
with the least amount of labor. Upon it the

smoke and enjoy life. 1t rests without heat

Women i'm Trousers.

An unusually large number Of cases of
women passing for men have recently been
discovered in Great Britain and France. The
most remarkable for length of time during
which the deception was maintained was
that of person who, during a voyage from
France to the island of Jersey, acted in
strange manner and finally fell unconscious.
A doctor found that although dressed as
man it was really a woman. After being
sent to hospital in Jersey she told her story,
which was that at the age of Is she had been
left an orphan and had then adopted male
clothes, which she had ever since worn with
out discovery. She was 30 years old and had
therefore worn trousers for forty-two years.
She had for the greater part of her life pur-
sued the calling of a courier, guiding parties
of travellers over all parts of Europe under
the name of Louis Herman Tobush. She had
done well at the business and had balance
at her bankers. When she was taken sick on
the steamer she wore a fur waistcoat, a long
overcoat, stiff hat, and turned down col
lar, and smoked pipe or strong cigar, as
she CHANGED to please. No one had any sus-
picion she was not man.
Among the witnesses in a suit at the Palace
of Justice in Paris was a person, apparently
young HAL, uIeSseu LlAe u SCuueul, WIN
was accompanied by what seemed to be an
elderly gentleman of grave aspect. When
the name of Nine. Libert was called the
young man stepped forward Il beg your
pardon" said the clerk, Il am asking for a
lady and not for a young man" But this
young man is my daughter" explained
the sedate gentleman, stepping forward.
The clerk decided to let the judge see the
witness and settle the matter. The judge
told the young woman to so home and put
on proper clothes before she appeared to
testify But have not single dress to
my name" she exclaimed. 1t turned out
that the old Mime. Libert runs a printing
office, and had for a long time worn male
clothing in order to manage her business bet
ter. She was bringing up her daughter to
the same custom-Boston Herald

America in Asia.

After long and diligent search in a queer,
dark, second hand booth kept by swarthy
Mongol, | was rewarded by the discovery of
a product of American genius that partly
satisfied my patriotism and served as a tangi-
BILE proof that New England marks the time
to which ali humanity keeps step. 1t was an
old second hand clock, made in Providence,
R. l., the battered and somewhat grimy face
of which still bore in capital letters the
characteristic American legend, Thirty
Hour ,TJker." Mongolia might know nothing
of American literature or of American maya
zines but it had made the acquaintance of
the American clock; and although this par
ticular piece of mechanism had lost its hands,
its Thirty Hour Joker" was a sufficiently
pointed allusion to the national characteristic
to satisfy the most ardent patriotism.
An American joker does not need hands to
point out the merits of his jokes, and this mu-
tilated New England clock, with its empty
key hole eyes and its battered but still hui
morous visage, seemed to leer at me out of
the darkness of that queer old second hand
shop as if to say, You may come to Siberia,
you may explore Mongolia, but you can't get
away from the American joker" was a
little disappointed not to find in this bazar
some representative masterpiece of American
literature, but | was more than satisfied a
short time afterward when | discovered in a
still wilder and more remote part of the
Trans-Baikal a copy of Mark Twain's Life
on the Mississippi" and a Russian translation
of Bret Harte's Luck of Roaring Camp -
