of the great difficulties of seeing and draw
ing such faint misty matter"
Professor Barnard's wonderful work in
the same line is too well known to need
comment. He was the first to picture the
starry myriads of the Milky Way by means
OF the camera, and it is needless to say
that his negatives rank first in excellence.
Professor Pickering of Harvard in 1883
designed camera for charting large Sec
tions of the armament, with view of
determining the magnitudes of stars, and

tanned photographs of stars not visible in
the telescope.
In 1886 many leading astronomers con-
cluded that an international congress
should be held for the purpose of a COM
bined effort to chart the entire heavens by
means of photography, and that such a
distribution of the gigantic task be made
that fulfillment uniting uniformity and
accuracy would be insured in some years.
This grand design was carried out, and in
1887 delegates to the number of ffty-four
from all parts OF the globe attended the

It was found that this artificial retina
by steadfast gaze into space saw more
the longer it looked, unlike the visual
retina that gains nothing if riyeted on an
unehanging point. From the seemingly
dark voids of space far off stars revealed
their existence and faint sprays of
nebule described their coils to the scien-
tific manipulation of Photographic chemi-
Gals, thus opening the portals OF the I'M
seen universe.
The study of the magnitudes of the stars,
of their variability, their parallax, their
proper motions and their unseen duplic-
ity by means of their spectra, were gradu-
ally included within the scope of stellar
photography; and there has yet been but
beginning of the valuable results to be
expected.
To enlightened experiment the progress
of recent years is largely due, and asso-
ciated with it the names of Roberts, Bar
nard and Pickering will ever be foremost.

He FOUND HIS FINGER.

MIR. Summons Discovered It After a
Lapse of Nearly 80 Years.
John Summons is responsible man, q
good farmer, who stands high among his
neighbors and whose reliability has never
been brought into question. He was a
brave soldier of the Confederate army and
was one CT those who participated in that
bloody tragedy On the banks of Chicka-
manga Creek on September IS, 1868. Dur
ing the hottest of the engagement Sam
mons found himself in an exposed posi-
ton with shot and shell playing high
revel around him, and he sought such shell
ter as was afforded by large oak tree
which was in direct line of fire. While
handling his piece a bullet struck his gun.
stock and cut off the two first Joints of the
forehnger of his right hand as clean as
knife could have done it. The dismem-
bered finger dropped among the leaves,
and as he was more particular about saw
ing the balance of his body than about
finger, be made the best Of his wav out OF
the fight, stanching his bleeding hand as
best he could.
The war was fought to finish and Sam
mons came back home and went to work,
charging up his manned hand to the losses
of the Confederacy. Some years ago he
decided to visit the battlefield, which he
had not seen in nearly thirty-two years,
and so he betook himself to Chickamauga
and started to stroll over the battlefield.
The tree where he stood when wounded
occupied such conspicuous position that
he found little difficulty in locating it. with
all the scars and knots in its rugged
trunk caused by the flying missiles OF
death. Having found the tree he put
himself in the same position in which he
was standing when wounded, and then it
occurred to him to look for the bones OF
his missing finger. Scratching around
among the leaves, much to his astonish-
ment, he found the bones where the finger
had fallen, and they correspondent ex-
actly with the finger he had lost. They
had laid there undisturbed ever since that
dread day, and it was with strange feel
ing that he took them, and after establish
ing their identity to his perfect satisfac-
ton, wrapped them up and took them
away with him as strange souvenir OF
his wartime experiences, Mr.. Summons
has them in his possession now, and will
preserve them as an evidence Of the fact
that he found them on the battlefield
after lapse of SO many years.-Atlanta

s Honesty rewarded in This Life.

ssThe case presented in last nights pa
per of reward of $40 being paid for the
return of $50 reminds me of a similar
anecdote-only different" said the ancient
New England member of the club this
morning. at happened in Providence,
r. T., forty years ago, when the city con-
tanned but one millionaire, who was an old
Scotchman, named Alexander Duncan.
One day Mr.. Duncan, in leaving his Office,
dropped a large roll of bank notes in the
street. They escaped his eye, but lot that
of the small boy who is around every
where, and who pounced upon the
bills Immediately. The roll con-
tained $500. When Mr.. Duncan
received it he eagerly counted the
money, and finding it correct, he turned
to the bow and said: Il thank We, my lit
lie man. Then noticing the look of dis
NAV in the poor lads countenance, he felt
in his trousers pocket and fished out
coin, which he handed to the finder of his
wealth. And the coin represented-what
do you thnkP'
"Five dollars"

"a half dollar
"a quarter of dollar"
"Just half of that. 1t was an old Span
ish coin that we used to call ninepence in
New England and that you called shil-
hing in New York. In other words, it was
12H cents which Alexander Duncan, the
millionaire of Providence, paid to the hon.

In the text of his history he gives March,

Alvarado entitled primitive Descubri-

of the discovery of gold placers in the San

GARDEN PARTIES.
Tho Advantages and Pleasures Of These
Out of Door Summer Receptions.

Town garden parties resolve themselves
into large receptions given out of doors,
and those who know what crowded draw
ing rooms imply in the sultry summer
days are particularly glad of this change
of place. They will willingly spend an
hour or more at one of these out of door
reunions instead of thinking quarter Of
an hours stay oil too long indoors, where
it is a case of heat versus draft, and diff
cult to determine which is the most objoc-
tiOnable experienced in drawing room, tea
room or even on staircase. Although
these functions are designated garden par
ties, yet the real style and tito are lat
homes, " the address being sufficient indi-
cation to the invited guests as to the de-
scription of entertainment to be given
A band playing in the grounds where
the garden party is given would appear to
be sine qua non, but the excellence Of
the same is merely question of expense.
AS the weather is by no means always
to be counted upon to remain fine, it is
seldom considered advisable to have tho
whole of the refrc&hment tables out of
doors, and thus only ices, berries and
cream and ice cups are served out of doors.
Tea, coffee and the rest, with ice ind ber-
ries and cream over again, are invariably
served within doors. But refreslment Ia
bles out of doors considerably take off the
strain from the tables in the tearoom,
especially during the first half hour, when
the great rush IS made in this direction.

The Brocktons were out to win. Ihey
felt very kcenly the defeat of Saturday at
Waterville, and thought to make sure OF
victory, yesterday, by putting korwan IN
to pitch, much as they desired to save him
for Bangor. Jim did good work, but

The Brocktons scored IN tho second,
but would not have done so but for de
cision of Umpire Miller which caused the
crowd to enter violent protest from all
sides France had been retired, Doherty
to Kelley. Stackhouse made hit. Toman
reached first on balls. Shea died out to
Dextraze, who threw to first to catch
Toman, who had gone nearly to second,
thinking "Dex" would not get the HY.
The ball was fielded promptly to Kelley,
who touched out Toman but it was not
allowed. Stackhouse scored on the play
when three men should have been out.
Korwan was an easy third out, Coyle to
Kelley
The Remedies did not score till the

first on balls. Kelley flied out to Wise
CIyle then took first on balls and Doherty
was forced in. Dextraze flied out to Wise
and Baker came tearing home. Bean

Butler was disposed of by Toman and

Baker sent to the low lands. Doherty
scored and Baker came tearing home
when Stackhouse in his anxiety failed to
hold Toman's late throw to catch BAKER

Brockton had a good chance to score in
their ninth, when johnson missed Stack

Coyle was too many, however as Shea
popped up an easy one to johnson, and
