say that it was the northern cap-a statement that was the most important part of the telegram. It's formation came about extremely early in the northern season and was the more unex- pected because the north pole is so tipped away from us and Che '.phase" is such that the most northern point we saw on the planet had latitude ali the time of only 67 degrees.
 The dark regions on the planet con .tiuue to exhibit canals upon them as they did two and even four years ago. They are most easily seen in Major and Aurorae Sinus, and a number of them have been measured for position and di- rection with view to improving our maps of those regions. Only minor points of difference have been noted be- tween their present appearance and their configuration two years ago.
 The most interesting of recent ob- servations is the recovery by Dr. T. J. J. See, of the companion to Sirius, dis covered by Alyan c. Clark, in 1862. When the companion was discovered it was some distance from the bright star. Soon it was found to be in motion about 1t and it was constantly watched until 1890, when it got so near it's primary, as Sirius is called. that it could no longer be seen. During the intervening six years it has been invisible, but from the knowledge of it's orbit it was predicted that as soon as sirus became visible this year it's companion would be suffi- eiently separated from it to be observed. This has happened. The early morning of August 31 proved favorable in every respect for search. and at little past five o'clock pr. See quickly and with certainty detected the feeble light of the. companion star near the predicted place.

WOMAN AND HER AANDeLAss.
Lis*le Mirror sn Indispensable Toilet

Little Mirror an Indispensable Toilet
 Table Adjunct.
 The wise woman is she who never under any circumstances neglects her hand-glass.
 If you do not possess one of these eN- sentialS to feminine contentment. get one immediately, and use 1t religiously, advises a southern woman. Never mind if you have in your dressing-room a fine, full-length pier glass, the hand mir TOT can't be dispensed with. Especially if you are the woman who uses the least little bit of makeup.
 A little makeup is many times advisa- ble, even necessary, and, of course, it is innocent enough, q touch to the eye brows and a slight kiss of nice powder to the face generally improves and is recommendable when ones face is apt to be shiny.
 But, for beauty's sake, don't appear in public after even the slightest attempt at makeup without first using the hand glass thoroughly.
 Take it to the light, the strongest one in your room, turn your back so that the glare will strike the glass, then peer into it. That is the way you will appear to the naked eye of your fellow-beings.
 If there is d daub of powder visible, a little too evident darkening of the brows, the glass will reveal it as clear as would the eye of a beholder.
 The glass placed against the wall softens these defects, and they are not noticeable, but the hand-glass reveals them mereiessly; therefore use it on all occasions.
 met a charming woman the other morning. She was daintily dressed in the freshest of morning dresses. A be- coming flower garden of hat perehed above her glossy, black braids, and she would have presented very refreshing sight but for one thing-her lovely black front lashes were laden with pow der.
 She had used her puff before going out and had neglected to scrutinize the effect, which was very peculiar, indeed, marring whatever good effect the wom- ans beauty might have had.
 So that leads to another bit of advice. Always remember after using a puff to pass soft brush over the eyelashes and bangs. ."-Chicago Tribune.

Difficulty of Cable Laying Largely Over
 come by It.
 It is said by the engineers who con ducted the laying of the Amazon river cable to Manaos that the difficulties of their enterprise would have been aI- most insuperable if the ordinary meth ods of sounding had had to be relied upon. There were no charts to go by, the river bottom was constantly shift ing, and the softness of the soil. mostly alluvial clay, would allow the lead to sink into it for several feet An elec- tric device, ftly named submarine sentinel, was suspended from the cable ship and set at say five fathoms.
 So long as there was no signal from the sentinel" the engineer could steam ahead without fear; but the moment the ship got into water shallower than the gauge fixed upon. the sounder gave

touaam Use for It,

A good coffin story is related in Sir Daniel Lyson's "Reminescences." The hero was private soldier and the scene the West Indies, and the story neatly illustrates the rigidity of the red tape which binds the administra- tive departments of the army. "One poor fellow who was given over by the doctors and supposed to be dead, was measured for his coffin, and the coffin was made. In these hot clima tes there is no time to be lost. The man, how ever, disappointed the doctor and re- covered. Then came the question, who was to pay for the coffin? It was charged to the man, but he refused to sign his accounts with this charge against him, saying he had not ordered the coffin and did not want it. At last compromise was arrived at, The man agreed to pay, provided he was to have the coffin; so it was given him, and he stuck it up on end by his bed in his barrack room, fitted it up with shelves and kept his things in it all the time we were at Grenada.

CLEARER SKIES.
The Flagstaff observat5ry Win
 Go to Mexico.
TO Dodge Hot and Wind Rent Air-Kind of Atmosphere Needed for obser- Vations = What Has Been
 Done in Arizona.
 1CoPYRIGHT. 1S96.

Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, A. T. The plan of the Lowell Observatory ;s to move to the City of Mexico some time in October or November. The req son for this is that after two years eX- nerience in Arizona we have found that fbe seeing at Flagstaff during the win fer is not very good. and we hope to get better results farther south.
 Let me explain what seeing is, and what constitutes good seeing. Every one has looked across the top of a hot stove, or through a stream of heated air rising from register, and seen the objects beyond tremble and jump about. Now the stars and planets seen through our atmosphere are jumping and trem- bling in the same way. Instead of through the stream of heated air from the stove or register, we always see the stars through great masses of air at varying temperatures. Now the amount of this apparent motion. or refraction, as it is called, is very small, but when the object we are looking for is a star or narrow faint line on some planet, the refraction may be sufficiently great to enlarge the image of the star or confuse the narrow line with it's close surround ings. We, therefore, have to determine just how great this refraction is and have series of numbers, usually from one to ten, each number standing for certain amount of motion due to the condition of the air at the time of ob servation. We also have methods of measuring this motion by the appear ance of the stars or the limb of planet. in the telescope, and every clear night we estimate the amount due to our at 1nosphere and record one of the num- bers in the scale as the quality of the seeing"
 Good seeing, then, depends on the amount of apparent motion caused by our air, and has almost nothing to do with clouds, as most people suppose.
 Now we have found that on account of refraction the atmosphere of Arizona in winter is not very good for observing. whether the skies are clear or not. and we think this results from our being too far north, where great areas of the country are subject to what the mete- orolegists call "eyelonie movements" that is, alternate areas of low and high

an alarm. and special reekonings were taken. A somewhat simpler device, having the same end in view, has been invented, the idea being to have it usel as a substitute for the hand lead as vessel approaches a coast or shoal in darkness or fog, when the captain is doubtful of his bearings. The appa- ratus consists of metallic cylinder having water-tight chamber. Within the chamber works a piston, upon the outer edge of which is a heavy ball. When the apparatus is swinging clear in the water, the weight of this ball keeps open an electric circuit; but, as soon as the sounder touches the bottom, the circuit is closed, and the current, conveyed by wires running in the cable by which the sounder is attached to the ship rings bell in any department of the ship. The cost of the device is quite moderate, and it's inventor claims that it's operation is simple and sure Philadelphia Press.

Did the Grocer. But the Judge Came Out
 Ahead.
 A Washington attorney is rather noted for the facility with which he for gets financial obligations. He has owed certain grocer eight dollars year or two. The other day the mer- chant concluded to try a new course with him. Meeting him in his store, he said:
 Judge, have & customer who owes me small bill and has owed it for a long time. He makes plenty of money, but won't pay. What would you dol"
 "I'd sue him." said the lawyer, em- phatically.
 "Well, I will put the account in your hands," and the merchant presented a statement of the account against him. self.
 "All right. will attend to it." said the discipline of Blackstone.
 A few days later the merchant re- ceived the following note from the law yer:
 "In the case of - against - l took judgment for full amount of your claim. Execution was issued and re- turned mo property found.' My fee for obtaining judgment is ten dollars, for which amount please send check. Will be glad to serve you in any other matters in which you may need an att y."-Washington Star.
