SCARED AWAY THE SPARROWS.

4 Stuffed Cat Found to Be Cure for the
 Twittering Nuisance.
 Whatever else may be said against the English sparrow, no one can accuse him of being sluggard or of folding his hands for little more slumber when he should be out in pursuit of the early worm. But in this connsc- tion one very bad habit of the bird which came to this country as for eign pauper laborer employed to do contract work, may be mentioned. He awakens with the first streak of dawn, and fully a half-hour after awakening he spends in chattering like a lot of schoolgirls, until everybody in the neighborhood is wide awake and breathing generations. A story comes from Westminster, Md, which the Bal timore Sun gives for the benefit of readers who are afflicted with the spar row plague. A tree near the bedroom window of lady of that town became the home of a large covey of brazen- lunged, wide-mouthed, vociferous spar rows. The lady became as sleepless as Darius when Daniel was in the lions den. But her ingenuity came to her rescue before it was too late. One of the children in the house had an imita- tion tabby eat made of calico. This was placed in the window by the tree and the tables were turned on the sparrows completely. The very sight of the imitation cat made them shiyer with fear and flutter their wings in dismay. They all left their home, and as long as the calico cat sat on the win dow sill they did not return, but went and sang morning songs to one of the neighbors. This is discovery which

landscapes to get an approximately Place 300 earths like ours side by side, says the Copenhagen Nordstjernen, yet Saturn's uttermost ring could easily inclose them. Three hundred thousand earth globes could be stored inside the sun if hollow. If human eye every hour was capable of looking upon fresh measure of world ma terial 14,000 square kilometers large that eye would need 55,000 years to overlook the surface of the stun. To reach the nearest fixed star one must travel B, 1000, ,000, ,000 of kilometers, and if the velocity were equal to that of a cannon ball itwould require 5000, ,0O0 years to travel the distance. On a clear night an ordinary human eye can discover about 1000 stars in the northern hemisphere, most of which send their light from distances which we cannot measure. How large they must be, Round these 1000 stars circle 50,000 other stars of various sizes. Be- sides single stars we know of systems oi SAaiS iloNlbB IOulI OiIc luOtiSI. Still we are but short way into space as yet! Outside our limits of vision and imagination there arc no doubt still large spaces. The milky way holds probably at least 20,19f, ,000 stars, and as each is sun we presume it is en- circled by at least fifty planets. Count ing up these figures, we arrive at the magnitude of 1,0O0,955, 900 stars. A thousand million of stars. Who can comprehend it? Still, this is only a part of the universe. The modern tel escapes have discovered more and sim liar milky ways still farther away. We know of some 6,00O nebuln which represent milky ways like ours. Let us count 2,000 of them as being of the size of our milky way, then 2,000 by 20,19l, 900 equals 40,3s2, 900, 900 suns, or 2,0l9, 100, 0oO, ,000 heavenly bodies.
