THE SUN AND THE STARS.
Now Claims That the Tw
Bodies Are About the Same.

Astronomy Now Claims That the Two
Bodies Are About the Same.
The sun is star and the stars are
suns. This fact has been a familiar
one to astronomers for many years.
That the stars shine by their own in
herent light, and not by light reflected
from another body, like the planets of
the solar system, may be easily proved.
That many of them, at least, are very
similar to our own sun is clearly shown
by several considerations.
Three facts prove this conclusively.
First, their great intrinsic brilliancy
compared with their small apparent
diameter, diameter so small that the
highest powers of the largest telescopes
fail to show them us anything but mere
points of light without measurable
magnitude Second, their vast distance
from the earth, distance so great that
the diameter of the earths orbit
dwindles almost to point in compari-
son. This accounts satisfactorily for
the first fact. Third, the spectroscope
that unerring instrument of modern
research-shows that the light emitted
by many of them is very similar to that
radiated by the sun.
Their chemical and physical consti-
tuition is, therefore, probably analogous
to that of our central luminary. The
red stars certainly show spectra differ
ing considerably from the solar spec
trum, but these objects are compar-
atively rare and may, perhaps, be con-
sldered as forming exceptions to the
general le.-Gentleman's Magazine.

fair souvenir coins has arrived in the

hours after their arrival. These coins
are supposed, by their face value, to be
worth half dollar. But, so far, few
have been sold .as low as one dollar
The first one coined brought ten thou
sand dollars and the ones bearing the
numbers 1902 and 1892, being the year
when Columbus landed and the year
of the worlds fair, also brought good
round sums of money. The coins were
distributed to number of banks
whose customers had placed orders in
advance and they went as fast as they
came. The treasurer of the worlds
fair also had large number of orders
on hand and began to fill them in the
order in which they had been received
and booked. The United States mint
at Philadelphia is busy getting out the
coin and they will be sent out as fast
as they can be produced They are
pretty coins as they come from the

eagerly as mementoes of the great ex-

WHAT will Chicago do next2


AN bclO OF the 4hCnt hHCc'
Lord Duuraven complains that the
excursion steamers gave his cutter their
wash and interiercd with her speed, al
though lie admits that the NaIkyFie
would have been beaten in airy case.
The interference oi the steamers,
whether the same was more or less, was
no greater obstacle to the British cutter
than to the Yankee sloop, and this is
the first complaint heard. The cold
fact is that in two trials the Vigilant
has shown herself the speedier boat OF
the two, and this record she is likely to
maintain to the end.
OF course Uunraven is greatly dis
appointed, for he hoped to go back to
England bearing trophy which others
OF his countrymen have commended for
in vain; but he should bear his dis
appointment philosophically and build
a boat us close to the American lines
as possible.
BY tho time he shall have done this
American skill will have devised u
yacht Just little faster, and we shall
have another pretty race and another
pleasing triumph for the bird o free

An interesting bicycle case has just
been tried in Pittsburg. 1t seems that
a gentleman out cycling with his wife
thought the driver OF a wagon was try
ing to run them down, aud by way oil
retalatjng refused to let the driver pass
him. There was not very serious col
lison and law suit.
The judge advised tho jury that the
bicycle has the same right to the road
as the wagon, no more and no less; that
nobody has exclusive right to a public
highway; that the highways are to be
used by persons SO as to accommodate
cath other. Tho driver was found not
guilty and the costs divided.
This judge makes the law OF the road
clear in few words, and it is seen to be
the law OF common sense and common
polteness. In Il civilized community
everybody should find a real pleasure
in being considera;o of tho rights
and the convenience aud the comfort oil
everybody else.

WHEELING, OCTOBER II. 1898.
Governor MaccorIsIo and the sonat

Governor MacCorISIe and the Senate.
Now comes the startling intelligence
that in consequence of Governor Mac
Corkles protest against the removal oil
the coal duty he may have trouble to
get to the United States senate as the
successor to Mr.. Camden.
Tho startling feature Of this announce
ment is the open declaration that Mr..
MacCorkle has been laying his lines to
Dust Mr. Camden. Those who were in
formed knew that this was the guber.
material programme, bYt it was sup
posed to be n secret Joe Chiffon wants
the seat, and MacCorkle was to help
him in return for Chilton's valuable
service to MacCorkle in his campaign
for the nomination.
1t has been said freely by Democratic
politicians that MacCorkle was looking
out for himself and would endeavoE
secretly to make Chilton's success i'm
possible, Mt tho snme time holding tho
friendship of the ChiItons and their
followers. This was difficult role that
would bother a shrewder politician
than Mr.. MacCorklo to play success
fully.
Mr. Chiffon will not succeed Mr.. Cam
den. Nor is it at all likely that when
the time comes he will be found footing
for Mr.. MacCorkle. Chiffon may agree
with MacCork}o on tho question OF tho
coal duty, may see as clearly that West
Virginia must have protection for her
coal, the Democratic platform to tho
contrary; but while his party stands
where it docs on the tariff question and
he has political aspirations he will not
appear before tho ways and means com
mittee to cry for mercy. He has the adj
vantage of knowing what the governor
did not know, that tho Democratic party
OF West Virginia vii! not tolerate even
one sound Republican principle in a
Democratic politician.
It cannot be sald that Governor Mac
Corkle has cooked his senatorial goose
by protesting against free coal, for there
has at no time been any probability of
his being chosen as senator. His party
has not been thinking OF him in that
connection. This truth Is stated in ali
kindness and aolely because itisa truth.
II hereafter anybody shall declare, as a
solemn warning, that Governor Mac
Corkle destroyed his chance for the
senate when he protested against free
coal, that will be far from the truth and
will be perversion OF history.
The INrELLGENcER thinks that, with
very slight margin for accidents, the
cnucus nominee to succeed Senator
Camden could be named now; but this
is not necessary and might destroy
hopes which it is pleasing to cherish.
