c. P. Huntington has not moved
into his new 1900. 900 palace at Fifty.
seventh street and Fifth avenue New
York, because he is afraid if he does
he will die. He never will move into
it. 1t is the old superstition that old
men who grow rich, build houses for
their own funerals. When Mr.. Hunt
ington started his plans back in 1889
he no doubt thought of this supersti-
ton, but let it have little weight with
him. He expected to move in three
years ago, but it was only last year
that the house began to near compile
ton. In the meantime his health
had become less and less vigorous.
His age and his years OF hard work
and worry began to tell upon him.
The superstition, it is said, came back
with renewed force, and he began to
think a great deal about it. At last
his friends say, he became absolutely
convinced that, should he move in,
the first function to which his friends
would be wanted would be his funeral.
Then he decided that he would not
even keep the house in the family;
that he would sell it, and remove
every possible danger Of his having to
occupy it. He will never live in the
house, he will never furnish it, and if
he lives twenty years and the house
remains unsold he will still be OF the
same mind.

Dimensi0ns Of an Aurora.
New York Sun

A Mr.. Harvey has made an interest
ing communication to the Astronomi'
cal Society of Toronto concerning the
height of q widely observed aurors
which occurred on July Is OF last year
This aurora was seen as . magnificent
arch of light, which, after lasting sew.
eral minutes, broke up and soon van
ished. The exact position of the arch
was noted by Mr.. Harvey at Toronto
and by a fortunate coincidence, its
breaking up was noted by Mr.. Dund-
sen at Balls, ITO miles north OF Toronto.
By comparison OF these observa
tions it was found that the perpen.
dicular height OF the arch was 16t
miles, its breadth Is miles; and sup
posing that it maintained an equa
height about the earth. the two ex
tremities of the arch must have beer
separated by a space OF $500 miles.

The Eskimo count upon their fin
gers-one, two, three, four, five.
Above five and up to 10 they use the
second hand. Thus, six is "the first
finger on the other hand" Above 10
they employ the toes. Thirteen, for
instance. is "three toes upon the one
foot" and 18 "three toes on the Sec
ond foot" Twenty they describe as
"a whole man." They seldom 90
further than this, but they can do 90
if necessary. For example, they ex-
press % by saying, 1.-TWO on the second
man." 81 "two toes on the second
mans second FOOT" 40 is the whole
of q second man." According to Dr.
Manson, they cannot, or at least dc
not, count beyond 100, which is the
whole OF the fifth man."

To Make Sunlight.

Nicola Tesla, whose wonderful
achievements in the line OF electricity
are we'll known, thinks that he will
soon be able to produce sunlight on
the earth at will. He says that the
light OF the sun is the result of elec.
trio vibrations in the 95, ZOO, 600 miles
of ether which separate us from that
luminary, and does not proceed from
a great central fire, as the scientists
have all along held. If these vibra-
tions can be reproduced, the light will
follow. The rapidity of these vibra-
tons In q second necessary TO produce
the desired result are, he says, OK.
pressed by the figure 5 with IA
ciphers annexed, and he is now trying
to build q machine which will pro-
duce these vibrations. It would ap-
pear from what he says that this vi.
bration must be produced in nothing
|-ether-for he asserts that if one
had solid chunk of steel as big as
house, and could communicate to il
this vibration, it would instantly be
atomized and disappear.

Ex-Governor Boies, chairman oI
the Democratic State Convention oI
Iowa, dealt very plainly with the
strike question in his speech before
that body. He is amazed that certain
labor organizations after having d" fla.
grantly violated the laws have de-
nounced the State and National au.
thorities for interposing their military
power to sustain the laws and protect
the country against anarchy" He
dwelt on the unressonableness and in.
justice of the sympathetic strike, its
inconsistency with every sound princi-
pie OF morals and added: "The SYM
pathic strike must 20 or the
unions that engage in it will be
destroyed and with it must 60 for
ever the scenes of riot and carnage
that have characterized so many re.
cent strikes, or the organizations re-
sponsible for them will be ground into
dust under the iron heel Of an awak.
ened public sentiment that will never
consent to see the laws that are abso.
lutely essential for the protection ol
life and liberty openly and fagrantly
violated, and thereby the existence ol
our institutions put in jeopardy"
