those who knew her in her prime have
heard much of the romantic story of her
life. Her early home was at Pveterkow

Her home was no longer happy. and

flashed as her voice rose IN the fiery
earnestness Of her eloquence.
During the years of her prime she
travelled and spoke extensively. Her la
bors were persistent in New York state.
She addressed the legislature many
times, and it was largely owing to her
efforts that the state laws were passed
that secure to married women in New
York the right TO their earnings and
their property. Before that time the
money due q woman for washing, for
school teaching or for literary work be-
Ionged TO her husband. and he could
draw her wages and spend them without
her consent, nor could wife hold or
inherit property-everything belonged TO
her husband The liberal laws which
we now live under are due TO the tireless
exertions Of this gifted woman, and
never ought the women Of New York to
forget the debt Of gratitude they owe to
Ernestine L. Rose.

THE MILKY WAY.

II was supposed to be divided as in the
diagram here given, the inner portion be-
Ing the stars seen in their thickness, and
the outer ring representing the stars
viewed In the direction of the length and
breadth. But afterward Herschel modi-
ded his opinions respecting the Milky Way,
and Professor Nichol, among more recent
Astronomers. says;
1T is only to the most careless glance
hat the Milky Way appears a continuous
zone. Let the naked eye rest thoughtfully
on any part of it, and if circumstances are
favorable it will stand out rather as an &C
emulation Of patches and streams of light
In every conceivable variety of form and
brightness"
The Milky Way has its greatest breadth
in the ''Swan," and in the Eagle" constel-
lation it divides itself In the Southern
Triangle" the zone is brightest and in the
Southern Cross" the hole or space, termed
by the sailors the Goal Sack, is very dis
tinct. 1t then contracts and expands, and
there is in Argo another gap. Then it is
lost for a space, then it branches out, and
soon crosses the Equator, dilates, contracts
opens out again and so returns to the
"Swan" again.
Philosophers have discovered much upon
this phenomenon, but all statements must
remain more or less speculative Mr.. r.
Proctor has likened the Galaxy to a coiled
serpent, and considers the openings in the
Milky Way as evidence that the stratum
of stars Is limited, and that here we can
see beyond it. In fact, it would appear
that 1t is a very complicated question; and
as the zone itself is complicated with out
lying branches beyond the range of our
most powerful telescopes" so an actual
knowledge of the Milky Way is beyond us
at present. 1t is composed of most extra
ordinary aggregations of stars, which ap-
pear not only impossible TO count, but each
one to be Independent of the other.

ployes to make a note Of storms and mag

strated that underground wires without

the other hand that accidents from light
