every pool is full Of trout, suckers and
pike. All Of the waste from the winery

hole of water just below the winery.

MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY
Two Sciences That Are Closely Related
and Necessary to Each Other.

Two Sciences That Are Closely Related
and Necessary to Each Other.
Probably in none of the sciences, ap-
piled or pure, is knowledge of higher
mathematics so essential as astron-
omy. Certainly none involves so much
mathematical labor. The method of
the least squares is one in almost con-
slant use by those engaged in astro-
nomical calculation, and the amount of
labor often entailed by this process is
enough to make the head of an ordi-
nary citizen swim even to think of.
One of the most extensive least square
solutions ever made, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, has recently beenpub-
lished by Prof. Schur, of Goettingen.
The helfometric triangulations of the
stars IN the cluster Praesepe (the Bee
hive) gave rise to a series of "a normal
equations, involving "a unknown guam
titles. The solution of this set of
quantities was effected by Prof. Schur
in ten weeks by means of the usual
'Gaussian method of elimination. Prof
Schur comes to the conclusion that no
other method by successive approx
nations is to be compared to the
Gsussian method, even though it night
seem to promise saving of labor in
advance. Prof. Schur mentions as the
longest least square solution he has
been able to find in astronomical liter
AZURE geodetic adjustment made by
Baeyer, in which set of normal equa-
tons with IS unknowns was success
fully solved by the famous computer
Dase, in three months.

BICYCLES or GREAT COST.
Rev York Firm to Meet Demand for
$1,000 Bic-cIes.

Rev York Firm to Meet q Demand foI
$1,000 Bic-cies
The most prominent New York jew
elry firm has something new for wheel
men in a silver bicycle, which was put
on exhibition at their store few days
ago. The wheel is the first of the kind
ever made. In order to insure strength
and durability it was necessary TO have
the supporting rods and spokes of steel.
All the rest of the frame is of sterling
silver. The handle bar is of plain sill
yer, with FURNISHED ivory handles. The
other silver parts are finely engraved
by hand, with repousse etching of the
Louis XVI. style. The sprocket wheel
is of plain silver. The saddle itself is
studded with silver nails. The cost Of
the machine, as it stands, is $500. A
silver lantern to go with it viii add
from 500 to 5000 to the price.
The completed wheel weighs about
26 pounds. A member of the company
said, in explaining the construction Of
the new bike: This wheel was buslt
to supply a demand which we know to
exist among some of our patrons for
a better and more expensive wheel than
can be had on the market at present.
Such a wheel we have tried to make,
and l believe that another season will
see many of them at the fashionable
resorts"
A woman's wheel is being finished
III the firms shops. This wheel will
be much more richly ornamented, and
its price will be $1,000. A lantern,
which is being made to go with it, will
be set with precious stones and will
cost several hundred dollars.

The Lava of Idaho.

Ages ago a vast river of fire poured
down the center of the state of Idaho.
This river consisted of molten lava,
was four hundred miles long, one hun
dred miles wide and from three to
nine hundred feet thick. Across the
corpse of this mighty river of fire a
river of water has slowly cut a chan
mel in several places. Born in the
melting snow of the majestic Tetons,
this river has cut its way for hundreds
of miles through lava beds in its
course tumbling over numerous preci-
pices until the great climax is reached
at Shoshone falls, where this mighty
river makes an awful leap of two hun
dred and ten feet, magnificent spec
tacle, in marked contrast to the desc
