A Unique Newspaper.

Lying on the desk of Mr.. w. b.
Somerville, in his coy office in the
big Western Union building, a report
er espied a very strange newspaper.
AT first it looked like large piece of
foolscap closely written, but upon
closer examination it proved to be q
real live newspaper written by hand.
This unique newspaper is published
at Prince Albert, small hamlet in
the center of the Canadian northwest
territory, and is called the The Prince
Albert Critic. 1t size is four pages
four columns to hepage.
The paper has n circulation of sew.
eral hundred copies and is a specimen
of what can be done by an ente ,pris-
ing journalist with a font o;type
The mode of issuing it is rather ne.
culiar. The matter, instead Of being
set in type, is written in ink with an
electric pen on prepared PAPER. the
rest of the issue being imprints Of the
original sheet. The paper is newsv
for it's size, contains quite a number
of advertisements and is the official
paper OF the hamlet.-New York

Other Worlds,

BY means of the spectroscope a
very wonderful discovery has beer
made respecting Sirius. Astronom-
srs had noticed that this star was
In rapid motion through space, and
1t was found that year by year it
was changing it's position in the
heavens, traversing in about fifteen
hundred years q space equal to the
apparent diameter of the moon. at q
velocity of no less than twenty miles
per second. Of course, by actual OBJ
servation the only motion capable
of being detected would be that
which was square to the line ofsight,
so that although Sirius appears to
MS to move across the heavens. he
may really be travelling in a slantipg
direction, either toward or from us.
No one would ever have expected to
be able to tell whether u star was
approaching to or receding from
us, yet even this seemingly
insolvable problem has of late years
been accomplished by the spectre
scope. DR.. Huggins, our greatest
authority on this subject, having,
identified certain lines in the spec
trum of Sirius as those of hydrogen,
found on comparison that these were
displaced in such manner as to in
dictate that the star was receding
from us. 1t has been estimated that
this recession, combined with the
thwart motion of twenty miles Der
second, gives as the actual move
ment of Sirius in space a speed of
about thirty-three miles per second.
These, then, constitute some of the
chief items Conformation about Siri-
US at present within our knowledge.
There seems to be no reason to doubt
that, in common with other suns, he

TEN! Vast as ours appears, it is
dwarfed into insignitcance compared
with IA system whose ruling orb is
1000 times larger than that which
does duty for us. There seems, also,
no reason to doubt that these planets
are intended to be the abode of lie;
it may be that at the present mo-
menu none of them present any signs
OF life, but ] think we may safely in
fer without improbability, that each
one OF those worlds has u destined
period in it's development during
which life, similar to that which now
prevails on our planet, would be in
existence. What a world such n one
would be, in size perhaps not inferior
to that of our sun, himself a million
times large than our earth; and it
may be that rs this Sirian world is
so vastly superior to ours in size it's
