Other suns Than ours.

If our sun could be as far removed
from us as are the seven stars it would
hardly be visible in an opera glass, yet
there are sixty or seventy such groups
as the Pleiades in sight every night,
each group being composed Of scores of
suns larger and more brilliant than
that which makes life on our world
possible. Alcyone is a sun loo times
more brilliant than our orb Of day,
and Electra and Maia are each 500
times larger than Old Sol. Several Of
these immense sun groups taken col
lectively and not reclzoned on the basis
Of individual membersl are believed to
be as much as 10000, o00.00O in diam
eter. If this calculation is not at fault
it would take light seven years TO fash
from one extreme Of such a group to the
other.

RUINED BY PIE


Love for This Pastry Barred Hin Ont OF
the Pulpit and Drove Him to Forgery.
A most singular case is now in the
courts at Kingston, in this state A
young man living there was lately
found to be forger, and when he con
fessed he said he was driven to the
crime by an ungOvernable gluttony for
minee pie. To satisfy his craving he
had forged the signature of a wealthy
man to a note for one thousand dollars,
and had got the paper discounted, says
the Buffalo Courier. With the proceeds
he went on 4 mince-pie spree, and had
devoured sixty dollars worth of this
pastry before he was arrested.
According to his story his extraordi-
nary liking for mince pie began to
show itself when he was a boy. He
seemed even then to feel that there
was something abnormal in his appe-
tite, for he went voluntarily to Bloom
ingdale asylum in the hope of being
cured of his gluttony. After he came
out he believed he was cured and be-
gan to study for the ministry But
in fatal hour, about two years later
the mania Tor PIE came upon him
With irresistible power. lie broke
into the housekeeper's closet in the
Auburn Theological seminary, where
be was a student, and gorged himself
with mince pie. His relapse so proved
upon him that he went to the faculty,
and they advised him, he says, to drop
his studies, as it would be det-
rimental to the ministerial cali
ing for him to enter it with
such fatal appetite for mince pie He
would be likely to suffer seizure of his
mania at a supper in the church parlors
or at the table of one of his flock, and
create an unforgetable scandal. He
took the advice of the faculty and
went to peddling clothes-wringers and
bed springs, but his malady was now
so deep seated that he subordinated
everything to his craving. He devel-
oped an unusual cunning for stealing

CLOSE OF THE SCHOOLS.
Informal Exercises Conclude the FaN Term

i Yesterday was the closing time with the public schools of Phoenix for the two weeks holiday vacation. All of i this does not come to the teachers. however. For them neN: Monday is the institute, which they must attend the coming week, emitting Christmas.
 There was no general exercises yes- terday afternoon. Each class had rhetoricals after lunch hour and then.
 especially with the youngsters, there
 were games and there was hilarity. judiciously guided by the teachers, till dismissal time
 In not a few rooms the exercises were with especial reference to the Christmastide. To the inquiry, What is Christmas?" the usual childish re- uly is: 'fWhy, it's the time when we don't have school and when we have Christmas trees and candy and lots of presents" But to this the careful teachers yesterday in all the primary grades added the knowledge of the cause of rejoicing in the birth of the Babe of Promise so many centuries ago.

 The very enjoyable occasion was con- tluded with refreshments being served.

THE MARICOPA & PHOENIX.
Decided Success of the New Mesa
 Line.

''The Mesa extension," said General Manager Honshell yesterday, "has been a success in the way of traffic that we had not deemed probable. From the very first day the travel has been heavy and it's increasing day by day as the people of the three towns become familiar with the advantages of the quick travel. We are going to keep right up to the public demand and will make additions to our regular local trips when it may be necessary. On carnival week, for instance, we will run trains each way every hour or so and will so arrange that the last train will leave Phoenix about midnight so as Ito accommodate all the southsiders who might stay to witness the evening festivities
 There is not small amount of freight also going to Mesa by rail, and wagon transportation between Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa has practically been wiped out. The result to Mesa espe- cially is gratifying, the town, showing a degree of life unknown for several years past.
