Photographing Starlight.

1t is possible to measure the light of
the stars and planets by pho biography,
but this is II slow process, and during
the last year an almost instantaneous
method of measurement has been de-
yeloped in Ireland. This consists in
the use IN place of the eyepiece Of
telescope of very sensitive photoelec.
trio cell, which is connected with
specially constructed electrometre.
The photoelectric cell, as now EN-.
ployed at Mr.. Wilson's obser-ga
cell containing the liquid mnanthoI,
side of the cell having an aperture
closed by n quartz window, while
glass tube having a tightly fitting ga-
minimum wire passes through the OPP
posite side of the cell nearly to this
window. The outer end of the alumni
mum wire is connected by platinum
wire to one pole of the elec-
trometre, and aplatinum wire in the
bottom of the cell passes to the other
pole. The inner end of the aluminium

through the quartz window and falls
upon the selenium, the latter receives
a positive electric charge and the
liquid negative one. the difference

electrometre. An ordinary parnfline
candle at distance of nine feet pro-
duces an electromotive force Of about

trated in two-foOt rejecting teIe-
scope is slightly greater than this,
while that of Arcturus is 80 of that
Of the candle and that of Saturn or
Regulus so. Starlight is thus shown
to be an easily measurable quantity.
The values obtained agree fairly we'll

photometric measures of magnitudes
obtained by noting the thickness of

Maine Supplies the Worlds SpOOIS,

Practically all the wood used in
making spools for thread in this
country and Great Britain is cut in
Maine forests, but SO great is the
amount of lumber required each year
for the making of these seemingly in
significant articles that Maine will not
be able to supply the raw material
much longer. The spools are made of
birch wood, and the birch of the
Maine forests is the best for the pur.
pose. More than two million feet of
lumber is shipped to Scotland every
year for the use of the great thread
manufactures there, and almost as
much is supplied to domestic manu-
facturers. The business began in
Maine twenty-five years ago, and land
that was cut over at that time is now
well covered with young trees, but not
for twenty-five years more will this
timber be fit to cut. Birch timber is
becoming scarce, and it will not be
many years before thread makers will
have to look elsewhere than to Maine
for their spool wood. While it takes
fifty years for birch forests to renew
themselves, the crop is considered
profitable one. New York Sun.

that the change means the loss Of
thousands and thousands of votes.

aside, on what does Tammnny count for
a revulslon Of public opinion in its
favor? That it has been "reformed"?
That it has discarded all its old meth

that the righteous enforcement of the
