IMMENSELY OF THE HEAVENS.
A Peep Into Space That Fairly Dazzles the
Imagination.

Imagination.
If our sun were removed to the
pleiades, it would hardly be visible in
an opera glass, with which nearly 100
stars can be seen in the cluster. Sixty
or 70 pleiades surpass our sun in bril-.
liancy, Alcyone being /, 900 times more
brilliant, Electra nearly 500 times and
Maia nearly 400. 'Sirius itself takes a
subordinate rank when compared with
the five most brilliant members of a
group, the real magnifcence of which
we can thus in some degree a~pprehend."
If we seek to know the dimensions, not
Of the individual stars, but of the clus-
ter itself, we are met with many diff
cultles, but on the assumption that it
is approximately spherical in shape we
can calculate its diameter to be over
40, 900, 900, 600 miles, so that light
would take seven years to pass from one
extreme to the other. If we think Of the
dimensions of our solar system by them
selves or in relation to terrestrial mat
tiers, they appear stupendously enormous.
Neptune, the most distant known
member, has an orbit over 8, 000,O 900, 900
miles across-a distance that a ray of
light would travel in ~ hours-but the
solar system is to the pleiades but as a
Lillipution to a Brobdingnagian-is but
as a microbe to a mountain, for a sphere
the size of the solar system would, if it
were spherical and its diameter that of
the orbit of Neptune, be relatively SO
minute that it could be contained more
than 400, OO0,O 900, 900 times in a sphere
the size of the pleiades-in other words,
the limits of the pleiades could contain
$50 solar systems as many times over
as there are miles between Neptune and
the sun.
Tt must not be forgotten that, al
though there are 2, 800 stars in the clus-
ter, yet with such dimensions for the
entire group vast distances must sepa-
rate the stars from one another. In fact,
2, 800 spheres, each with a diameter of
8, 900, 600, 900 miles, could be contained
in the limits assigned to the group, and,
assuming equal distribution of the stars
. in the group each would be at the cen
ter of a sphere 5000, 900, 900 miles
across, and therefore a light journey of
1877 days from it's nearest neighbour

According to Law.

The prisoner before the wild and
woolly western court hadn't much of a
chance and no friends, but a young law
yer from the east, out there to win his
spurs, undertook the case for the glory
there might be in it, and the first thing
he did was to demand a jury trial.

judge.

name Of the constitutional right of 'ev-
cry citizen of this great and glorious
country that my client here be tried
before a jury Of his peers"
"He can't git it, said the judge, al
most overcome by this oratorical out
burst.
81 demand it, your honor" insisted
the young advocate.
"D'you say a jury of his peers?" in
quired the judge, as if about to relent.
"Yes, your honor"
"Well, now, look a-here, young fell

I'd fine you fer contcap'. D'you think
we'd stand a dozen more like him in

ment." And the mandate of the court

More than once we had practical ex-
perience Of sandstorms. On the first &C.
casion my tent was blown over upon me
as I slept, and Twas left crawling about
under the Tapping canvas trying to find
my shoes. When I had emerged, I found
this new kind of hailstorm rather try
ing to the exposed parts, and I rather
prided myself on my success in re-erect-
ing my house unaided. The other tents
held, and their occupants did not know
of my mishap, but every other upright
thing was cast down, and a number Of
loose properties went off into the desert.
They were all recovered except a sponge,
which, being light and elastic, hoped
off miles beyond recovery, and by the
next morning might have arrived in the
mahdi's country. The next visitation
was in the daytime, when we were on
the march. 1 saw it coming in the dis
lance, a wall of sand cloud sweeping to-
ward us, though the atmosphere where
we were was still. 1 stopped the cara
a and began pitching camp imme-
diately, but before the operation was
complete we were struck by the storm

burst of derisive laughter from his in
subordinate command.
In a short time he r~eappeared, and
exhibiting q pass to the sentinel adj
vanoed toward his demoralized COM
p.ry, and resuming his rife uttered the
single word, Attention."
Every face instantly sobered, for ev-
cry man felt that not only was Tom
deeply offended, but that retribution
was close at hand. Very quietly he
gave the order: by the right flank!
Right face, company! Forward, march,"
and retribution began.
1t was December. Snow had fallen
some days before, then rain, followed by
a day or two of unseasonably warm
weather. The country roads, tramped
by troops of drilling cavalry and plowed
by teams and loaded wagons, were all
slush, water and very tenacious, deep
mud.
Straight to this abominable highway
Tom marched Company l. Directly into
the middle of the road, where the mud
was thickest and the water deepest, the
boys wheeled in obedience to his stern
command. Then, as unconcernedly as
though Oh the most perfect parade
ground in the world, he issued his or
ders:
"By company, into platoonsl Left in
to line, wheel! On right, by file into
line!" and through all the evolutions.
At one moment Company l charged
bayonets down that fearful road at dou-
BILE quick, at another wheeled in circle
through slush, while Tom noted defects
and corrected them as nonchalantly as
though ON a grassy lawn.
For a full hour and a half, long after
recall had sounded, without halt or rest,
Tom Unanswered that weary company.
At last, wet, weary and half exhaust
ed, the mud b~edraggled company was
led to quarters by it's memorable COM
mander. Throughout that remarkable
drill the only words Tom uttered that
indicated the state of his feelings were
spoken as he gave the command of dis
missal.
Company, right facet" he ordered.
Arms apOrG! When you 1ellOWS Ould
like to defy discipline again, let me
know. Break ranks, march!"
And SO ended the proceeding, which
was known as tom Crandall's march"
as long as Company I was an organiza-
ton.
In the days which followed the boys
of Company I came to know their order
ly sergeant better and learned to respect
and appreciate his military qualities,
for if his literal Interpretation of orders
sometimes tended to their inconven-
fence it oftener led to their comfort
and well being, and in more instances
than one to the preservation of some of
their lives.
Poor Tom sleeps today in the silent
camping ground, and many of his old
companions are with him, but with each
returning spring the floral emblems of
his surviving comrades are laid upon
his grave as tenderly as though that gro
tesque march, of which he was the hero,
had never been. George 81. Hosea in

She Paid George.

They sat cozily side by side at the the
alter enjoying to the top of their bent
the miserable fate of Desdemona, and
dear George told her that he would nev-
er be jealous of her-no, not if she
should give away /, 900 pocket handker-
chiefs, and then they had squeezed each
others hands under her lace wrap, and
they were happy al happy can be. Dear
George" bought her a box of bonbons
and then ate them all up, for no man
was ever so much in love as to be shy in
the matter of eating.
By and by it came to the end Of the
third act, and after looking very rest
less and wretched George said fondly,
"You won't mind, dear, will you, if I
just step out into the vestibule to stretch
my legs a bit, will you?"
If George had had half an eye he
would have seen that she did mind
very much. No woman likes to be left
alone in a theater, but she only said
coolly, ooh, not in the least, if you
care to 60"
So George crawled over the laps of
half a dozen ladies, treading on their
toes, scratching their chins with his
watch chain and brushing the bloom
off their laces and evening attire.
She waited about five minutes, and
then, swiftly bundling her wrap around
her, and with her pretty face scarlet
with indignation and embarrassment,
she bravely left the theater and went
home.
And it served George right.-New

Sewer Gas.

Occasionally the assertion is heard
that the healthiest of all occupations is
that of sewer s~cavenging. In large cities
the men. in spite of their filthy work,
are proverbially healthy. MI. Laws, a
chemist, who has been employed in spe-
cial Investigations in the sewers by the
London city council, has proved in a
huge report that sewer gas is all but in
nocent of distributing bacteria of any
kind. and certainly not those which are
pathogenio. The sewage contains mi
crobes Of various kinds in abundance,
but the gas itself is much freer from
these dreaded organisms than the out
er air of the street. Of all this he
gives most convincing proof, and so
challenges the theories which lay to the
account of sewer gas a train of horrible
ravages on health. This is a startling
revelation and suggests that fresh in
quiry is needed into the real causes of
so much illness traceable to drains and
foul odors.-San Francisco Call.
