Streams of Stars In the Milky Way.

Some of the streams of fainter stars in the milky way are very striking, and must convince the most skeptieal of their reality.
 It is possible to draw an arc of 0 circle through any three stars, and conic sec tion through any five, but where we find 10 or 20 stars falling into line<tnot once, but in many cases, and that there is curi' ous similarity between the strange curves and branching streams which these pha- langes of stars mark out on the heavens, there is no room left for doubt that the mind is not being led away by tendency of the imagination similar to that which finds faces in the fire or sees man carry ing sticks on the face of the moon.
 If it is proved that group of stars is arranged in line or marshaled in any or der it would follow that the individuals of the group must be actually as well as apparently close to one another, and that they form some kind of system, having all of them had common origin or been sub ject to some common influence. What these streams and curves of stars mean, and what forces have marshaled them in lines forms one of the grandest problems of the future, one that trust may live to see unraveled. Knowledge

Tyndale,s Translation of Jonah,

One of the most important events in the life of the late bishop of Bath and Wells was his discovery of the long lost transla tion of Jonah by William Tyndale. There was tradition that Tyndale had translat ed the book of Jonah into English, but no copy of the work could ever be traced One day Lord Arthur Hervey was looking through some old books in the palace li brary at Wells, when he opened volume of pamphlets, in the middle of which he found Q copy of the missing work, con ssting of 24 leaves, printed at Antwerp by Martin de Keyser. It had presumably been deposited at Wells some time during the sixteenth century, and had chanced to be bound up without being examined, with number of ancient pamphlets, prob ably during the eplscopate of Bishop Bead on.

The Language of Ants.

It has long been believed that ants have means of communicating with each other, and Lubbock and Landois gathered from their researches on the subject that the in- sects do so by means of sounds too high in pitch to affect the human ear. Janet, a French naturalist (Annales Entomolo- giques de France, LXID, has recently shown that certain ants make stridulating noises analogous to those of crickets, pro duced probably by the rubbing together of some of the many rugose or rough surfaces to be found on their bodies, These noises, too slight to be heard when made by only one insect, may be detected by imprison- ing lot of ants between two pieces of glass in space surrounded by ring of putty. On holding this to the car one may hear by listening attentively, gentle murmur likened by M. Janet to that made by liquid boiling slightly in a closed yes sel varied now and then by distinct strid- ulating sounds. These sounds are heard only when the ants are disturbed.

A Maine Legend.

One of the legends of Searsport: A man named Harrison was much bothered by bears that invaded his planted fields Meeting neighbor one day, he applied to him for advice as to what could be done to keep them out. The neighbor replied
 "Bears are fond of molasses You just make a trough and fill it with molasses and rum and put it where they come into your field, ard they will drink it for the sake of the molasses, and the rum will make them drunk, so you can go in the morning and knock them on the head. |"
 Mr Harrison followed this advice and went to the field the next morning. There he found, not bear, but his neighbor drunk. (Me.) News.

How Thermometers Are Made.

A small glass tube, blown into bulb at one end, is partly filled with mercury. The mercury is boiled to cxpel the air and fill the tube with mercury vapor, and then the tube is dramatically sealed and allow ed to cool. The gradations are found as follows: The instrument is immersed in ice water, and the freezing point is found and is marked. Then it is placed in water, which is allowed to reach the boiling point, and so 2l2 degrees is found. The spans between arc marked by mathematical cal culationS

Medicine Measures.

A teaspoonful is almost exactly one dram; adessertspoonful, two; a tablespoon full, four. The regulation wineglass holds two ounces; common teacup, about six; a tumbler, about 10. With these facts in mind, it is possible for any one to give proper doses of medicine or medicinal prep arations without aid of the graduated vessels employed by pharmacists. .-Phila- delphia Ledger

'sThe Pathfinders,' newly organ
lied young mems club, gave their first
annual banquet Thursday evening.
The organization is of an educational
and social nature, and it is the pur-
pose of its members to more closely
unite in order that they may do the
most good; that entertainments may be
given for the benefit of the deserving,
and in general to do the most good in
the most possible ways.
The hall at the corner of Tenth and
Center streets was artistically decor
ated, the tables having been set and
the orchestra being present to welcome
the large number of guests. At the
hour of .1O:3o the gaests-were seated at
bountifnl repast. William Foster
acted as loastmaster and in few we'll
chosen and historical remarks eX-
pressed his appreciation OF the organi-
zation and ex' ended to the guests the
hand of Pathfinder fellowship. Re-
sponses were made by William Frazier
and in very happy manner he nobly
acquitted himself by the subject "Our
Boys" ''Afro-American Journalism
was the response delivered by Thad
Ruff, who paid a tribute to the one
great wonder of civi,ization-
per and other journalism. The subject
'.Our Girls" was responded to by Miss
Zella Davis, who by her educational adj
vantages and constant study has
grown to be one of our city's intellec-
tual lights. The language encouched
in her response was indeed praise
worthy and showed the kindness of
heart and willingness of hands to help
those who need help. Remarks were
also made by Charles Ruff.

EVENINGS OF pLEAsURE.

The East Side Baptist people had a

The chemistry Of Cleanliness.

Few people realize the Importance OF
keeping the surface of the body in
state of cleanliness. Prof Lewes tells
us that while we may live for days
without any action in the stomach or
liver, it would be impossible to survive
if the functions of the skin were en-
tirely stopped. There are upwards OF
three thousand ducts to the square inch
of skin, and these perform the import-
ant function of throwing off the moist
ure produced during the combustion OF
waste tissues. They secrete about
twenty-three ounces of perspiration IN
twenty-four hours. This wonderful
provision of nature enables the indl-
vidual to exist in an atmosphere OF
perpetual moisture, none the less posi-
tive because invisible and insensibie
This evaporation is natures method
of regulating the temperature OF the
body, as the vaporizing of the perspira-
ton keeps the surface comparatively
cool. It seems an incredible statement
that one may endure for a short TING a
heat of 325 degrees Fahrenheit, WI
{; water bath of l20degrees FahrenRet
is alHiost intolerabie. ut is siilt sAt T
out of twenty three ounces Of perspira-
tory matter, at least one ounce is solid.
This remains on the surface of the skin
and fills up the pores The Importance
of removing this becomes apparent
when one studies into the more mi
mute details of the philosophy OF life.

One of the dangers of mining Sc, is
to be in fair way toward removal, or
at least a degree of modification that
will rob accidents of most of their ter
ror. Since it has been proven that
death from suffocation is not due, IS
has been supposed, to the presencs of
earbonic acid gas, but to the absence
of oxygen, it stands to reason that Il a
supply of oxygen can be furnished the
immediate danger is averted. Oxygen,
compressed into almost inconceivably
small space, is stored in strong bottles
fitted with inhalers. tubes and regular
valves Each miner may carry one of
these bottles stung at his belt ready
to use in case OF accident. 1t has been
suggested that large casks or other
sllitab BILE vessels with compressed oxy-
ger, be stored along the ways and on
various levels of the mine ready to
open in time of need. On the same
principle oxygen might be forced into
wells, vaults or other places where
bad air is a menace to health or life,

A Tour Of France in Balloon.

An interesting experiment in aeron-

due to bad plumbing and other causes
accounted for some of the waste, and.

S ciety in all large cities has to be
continually on its guard to protect
itself against the impostors. Friends
are very careless, in too many instances
OF who they introduce into the HON S
OF the city in which they live. An
Introduction carries with it respo ST
bl ity for the reputation and cond ct
of the one introduced. The mposter is
always brazen and will often push
himself into places where even pure
minded man would hesitate Many of
these imposters disregard all morale d
religious laws and the common laws
the land. The cloth they wear, the
food they eat and the money they
spend are often the product of tn
wages of sin The woman who fur

the mans names as she should lawfully
do Yet such men will attempt to
enter the homes of respectable peop e
and accompany their daughters to
