TIE SOLAR SYSTEM.
Vastness af Some of the Greater Stars Of

Vastness 9f Some of the Greater stars Of
 the Pleiades.
 If our sun were removed to the Pleiades 1t would hardly be visible in an opera glass with which nearly 100 stars can be seen in the cluster. Sixty or seventy Pleiades surpaSs our sun In brilliancy, Alcyon being 1000 times more brilliant Electra 500 times and Maia nearly 400, says Longman's Maga- zine. Sirius itself takes a subordinate rank when compared with the five most brilliant members Of group the real magnifcauce of which we can thus in some degree appreheud. If we seek to know the dimensions, not of the individual stars, but of the cluster itself, we are met with many diff entities, but, on the assumption that it Is approximately spherical in shape we can calculate Its diameter to be over 10000, GOO, 900 miles. If we think of the dimensions of our solar system by themselves or in relation to terrestrial matter they appear stupendously enor. nous. Neptune, the most distant known member, has an orbit over D.. OOO,OOO,OOO miles across, but the solar system is to the Plciades but Lilipu- tian to a Brobdingnagian-is but a microbe to a mountain-for 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 1t could be contained more than 100000, 100000 times in sphere the size of the Pleiades; in other words, the limits of the Pleiades could contain i50 solar systems as many times over as there are miles be- tweeh Neptune and the sun, It must not be forgotten that though there are 2,5Oo stars in the cluster, yet with such dimensions for the entire group vast distances must separate the stars from one another. In fact, 2,3OO spheres, each with n diameter of 5000, ,OO0, 600 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 center of sphere 5000, 600, 900 miles across, and therefore light journey of 1s7 days from its nearest neighbor.

An Ancient HantInr Ground.

There is still deal of good hunting on the Delaware peninsula, although the region has been steadily shot over by 8 sporting population for the last two hundred and fifty years. Della ware has stringent game protective laws, and in the lowest county of the state there are great swamps that still harbor considerable variety of game. The same is true of several of the Maryland eastern shore counties, and the two Virginia counties have prob ably as good aquatic hunting as is to be found anywhere on the Atlantic coast short of few almost inaccessible points north and south

Jewellers to Queen Victoria have d soft snap since her craze for theatrical performances at Windsor It is Cpiued that diamond brooches and bracelets must be bought by the gross, Gs her majesty always pays tkc artists ln these tokens of her consideration and appreciation of the show Many arc the favored stars who now own a queens brooch, and who look on the gift as lucky piece ever after. It speaks well for their loyalty and the beauty of the jewel that the rccip- tent always says it shall never leave the family, but become an heirloom from that time forth. The worth of these souvenirs rarely varies in price, but they vary in design, and the artist who receives q crown in diamonds nIid fubies with the initials w. R. l." from the royal hand deems the honor worth living for. Mime. Sigrid Arnoldson re- ceivcd one of these brooches when she sang in "Phlemonet Baucis" recently, and Mrs. Kendall has one like it which she told some friends was placed in her dress by the queen herself, when the Kendals were eommauded to play at Windsor seven or eight years ago.

Mir. Gladstone has had scv- eral operations performed upon one of his eyes, the result of which, it is be. licved, will be almost fully to restore his vision, while the other eye is still sound enough to enable him to read and write. Sir William Harccurts eyes are both much obscured, and must soon have relief or be altogether dark ened. He will presently place himself in surgeotI's hands. Nj. Jules simon is in like plight, but hopes to have the opaque veil entirely removed. And Sig.

 Part of the growing difficulties oc- casioned by the lesertiOh of the eoun- try and the erowting of the cities will be remedied, perhaps, by six years hence-in that wonderful year 1900 which electricians set ss a milo post of human progress--by the crowning of steains rival, says the New York Press. Machinery Is rapidly taking tho dead- ening drudgery out of farm work when conducted scientifically and on large scale, and Is causing it to attract the attention of city people who long for the healthful fields. Only the bodily tiiscomforts of farm work have pre- vetited an exodus from the city to the country Already electricity is turn ing its attention to the long neglected farm work, and has discovered proiita- ble results to be had by subjecting crops to currents of electricity. It is beginning to simplify the ponderous farm machinery, and as soon as the storage battery has received its finish Ing touches and can be applied to light
 
 his profits the farmer will be looked upon with envy by the prisoners of city streets and counting house walls Those particular effects of electricity upon farm machinery and farm life are, however. visible chiefly in the inns agination at present, and are not at all likely to be realized In six years; but one great change may be looked for in this direction in the immediate future, and that Is the improvement of tho farnefe condition by means of good roads and the rapid transit which electricity is almost feady Co bring thus greatly enlarging his market and bringing him higher prices for fresher products, and also bringing him closer to the life and pleasures and stimu- lating effect of the city. There is to be 8 wonderful change in farm life in the more thickly settled parts of the country in a very few years, and rapid transit will be largely responsible for it. The cheap transmission of electrical power must bring soon many changes that will be felt in the city houschold and perhaps the chief of them will be the abolition of the cook stove as it Is known at present. The small electric heater has already begun to take its place, and 1t is almost certain that even in six years coal will be banished from a majority of the kitchens in cities ad- jacent to water power from which electricity is generated. When heat is wanted for cooking purposes 1t will be had at moments notice by the press. ing of a button,

French Marriages.

When a French bride marries she does not assume the hymenial white satin, as Is our custom, if her family or her husbands are in mourning, but goes to the altar in simple white mus lin, as M. Ernest Carrots bride did a few weeks ago, Though in view of the late presidents tragic death it seemed somewhat soon for the we'd ding, Mme. Carnot herself wished that it should take place, as it accordingly did, but with so much privacy that not even single relative, except those i'm. mediately connected with the young people, were informed. The brides family wore costumes of pale gray and violet, while the Carnot ladies were, of course, in deepest mourning The bridegroom's mother appeared deeply moved during the service, and an air of silence and sadness hung over the bridal. Mile. Chris was an especial favorite with the late N, Carnot and is extremely pretty She had no orua- mcnts, except a bouquet of white roses, with some fastened into her simple dress. Ike Lady chapel of St. Pierre de Passy, in which the marriage took place was adorned with similar flowers, but tbere were none in any part of the church.

AMERICANS AND DIAMONDS,
They Buy Morc Thnn she People of
 Europe.

Thof Buy More Thnn the People or
 Europe.
 It is claimed that Americans buy more diamonds than any other people. They have always worn more, and at all times of day, in and out of season, so they were feproach to their English cousins in the early days of social inter course. But American women's dia- mond earrings worn early in the morn ing, though decried by conservative, Britishcrs, had the power to change the standard of dress Ridiculed as they were, the Americans won the day, and soon European danes began to wear their jewels in the street and V, all possible occasions. A craze for di,s monds spread over society, and not only family heifloons but much new jcwelry employing these once rare stones, aud bought dirt cheap, became feature of the daily toilette. Of course, when fashion took hand in the business, the diamond market boomed and syndicates talked very loud and big of the fields where the sparlslcrs bloomed perennially. The It&Al ktll ClhdlttN bAt llulAhAihlif hiitA rhinestones Rs we'll as the almost-im- possible-to-detect paste from the Rue de Ia Paix and the Palais Royale have had tremendous vogue, but, as de- mand increases supply, the diamond Syndicates wese equal to the occasion, and real stones" could be purchased for a little more than the false ones. The result has been that everybody has worn some sort of diamond. In this country the craze has grown into cult Tiards gleam on the brows of the wives of millionaires. Necklaces worth a princess ransom are bought by anybody who has money to pay for them. Brooches, pins, bracelets, starred with the gems, aee so common a woman must plaster herself with them to be observed. Every girl just engaged" exhibits a diamond ring, and it has de- veloped vein of humor, if not a new class of joke, that much envied gage d'amour. The nice young man who polishes your boots for a nickel wears a diamond" in not too fresh neck scarf, and the gentlemanly car con ductor is not above ornamenting his little finger with an off coiored African stone! In fact, where there is the least excuse for jewelry, one may be certain the preference will be given to the dia- mond kind.

It is remarkable how many people live in Florida for no other purpose than hunting hidden treasure, says the Cincinnati Inquirer. From the stories told it would seem that there must be millions of dollars in Spanish doub- looms hidden along the Florida coast. Some of these have actually been found, just enough to give zest to the search. Capt. Kidd is supposed to have planted few hundred thousand dol lars down there, and number of other pirates used Florida soil as a deposit bank. There are people who have lived there for twenty years in order to find treasure, and have impoverished themselves in their search for this vast wealth. There have never been any very large finds, but number of small ones, and the belief that there are large sums hidden seems to be uni versal.

Believed to Have Originated in the British
 Army-Fsvorod by Continental OHlcerS.
 Tn every capital of Europe the mono. cle is common enough, says the New York World. It attracts no attention on the street In a row of men at 6 theater a considerable proportion are sure to have it. Perhaps half the off. cers In the Ger man army wear mono cles They are seen in abundance at any meeting of the French academy. Even sociaf list deputies in France are not ashamed to go among their con. stituents wearing them. A session of the English house of commons glitters with solitary eyeglasses. The single eyeglass is said to have originated among the officers of the British army. About the beginning of the century an order was issued that army officers should not wear eyeglasses or spec tacles. It was supposed that they gave the wearers an unmilitary appearance. The order caused severe inconvenience to many short-sighted officers, and one of them belonging to crack regiment invented the single eyeglass; it's use was no contravention of the order which prohibited spectacles and eye. glasses. 1t soon became very popular in the army and was afterward adopted. On account probably of this origin the single eyeglass is very generally worn in Europe by army officers. It is by some thought to give an aspect of de- termination and ferocity to the wearer, whereas eyeglasses lend an air of feebleness.

 Three men went out on a quiet drunk the other night, says the Kansas City Times. They drank early and often. In the descriptive parlance of the north end they made night of it.n Unlike the ma jority of men, the more intoxi- cated they became the less they talked" They were muteS, all three of them, deaf mutes.

Their fingers began to grow thick and did not readily respond to their owners will as was their wont in periods of sobriety Toward midnight 1t became plainly apparent that their artificial source of expressing their thoughts was losing it's integrity, also its orthography. This fact pleased the mutes. They looked as if they would like to whoop a few times in defiance Of the police and the public. But as this pleasure was denied them, they pounded the bar and nodded to the bar tender to fill the glasses again. But the denf-mute humanity wears out the same as the other kind, and shortly be- fore dawn stole down from the Sni hills they dropped of into sound and unbroken slumber, Then only they became audible.
