Our Sun u Star,

Most young folks now know that the
difference between night and day on this
planet of ours arises simply from the
fact, that among the innumerable multi
tude of stars there is one infinitely nearer
to us than all the rest; being so much
nearer to us that when we see it we have
day. When by the earth's movement
on its axis the sun has set in the west
we have night; at which time we depend
for light upon the more distant stars
unless, indeed, the moon is shining.
In the main, it is true that the enor-
nous difference in the intensity of the
light that we receive from the sun in the
one case, and from all the stars seen at
night in the other. depends upon the fact
that the sun is the star nearest to us. and
the other stars are suns infinitely re-
moved.-J. Norman Lockyer in Youths
Companion.

A Daring Argument.

A quick witted and daring western
lawyer once saved guilty client from
sure conviction on a charge of poisoning.
1t was proved that the poisoning had
been done by means of certain cakes, a
portion of which was produced in court.
When the counsel for the prisoner had
finished his speech, he said: "And these,
gentlemen of the jury, are some of the
alleged poisoned cakes. We declare to
you, gentlemen of the jury, that they
are not poisoned cakes. They are as
harmless cakes as ever were made, and
in order, gentlemen of the jury, to show
you that these cakes are not poisoned, l
will eat one Of them right here in your
presence"
And he did eat one. He took good
care, however, to leave the room at the
earliest opportunity, and to make bee
line for an adjoining room, where he
had an emetic in readiness and an anti
dote. But the jury never heard about
the emetic or the antidote until the law
yer's client had been acquitted. San
Francisco Argonaut.

A new apparatus for measuring the
mean level of the sea has lately been in
stalled at Marseilles 1t is based on the
principle that when liquid wave trav-
erses capillary tube or porous parti-
ton, its amplitude diminishes and it ia
retarded in its phases without tho mean
level of the wave changing. 1t consists
OF glass tube, the lower end of which
communicates by a flexible pipe with a
plunger which is lowered beneath the
lowest water level. There are two cells
In the plunger, the lower being filed
with sand and open to the sea, the result
being that the column of water in the
tube rises and falls very littls with the
tides, and the mean sea level can be read
from graduated scale.-New York

Is it not surprising that George
Eliot with all her knowledge of the
innermost workings of the human
mind, should have lost her way when
dealing with the morbid changes of
mind and brainl Tito's father, Bal
dassare, had been a great scholar,
but after long illness his memory
upon recovery became a perfect
blank; he could recall nothing of his
scholarship. though he had not for
gotten who he was. With all this,
Baldassare is not represented as hav-
ing lost his reason. He remembers
his past life, but he can no longer
read or write, or recall any of his
scholarship for which he had been
so distinguished. 1t was not amnesia
