THE EARTH's SATELLITE.

revolving around it's orbit. The So
called rings consist also of thousands
of satellites, only our present telescopes
are not powerful enough to separate
them. So likely our own earth is also
surrounded by great number of I'M
known satellites. At least one of them
think I have discovered. Its path
is from west to east. When got it I'M
der my telescope was making observa-
lions of the suns spots. uncovered it.
1t took about five seconds to pass across
the suns disk from the time ! first saw
1t, when it was at the spot indicated
by the arrows. Its distance, of course,
cannot be determined unless other OBJ
servers had an opportunity to see it
or had it under their cameras. How
ever, at the same speed, approximate
ly, it would move round our earth in 90
minutes, and if it's distance from us
be 500 miles it would then have speed
of about five miles per second.
"Our earth may have q great num-
Der of such small satellites revolving
round it's orbit, yet unknown, and they
might never be discovered for this rea-
son: In the daytime they are not Wis
ible because of too much light from the
sun. At night, after the sun has set,
they are in the shadow of our earth
again, and not having light of their
own they would be in eclipse. If their
mean distance from our earth was 500
miles to be visible by a telescope of $50
magnifying power, such as used, their
diameter must be at least IS feet. If
smaller they would not be visible. Com
pairing their diameter by the transit
of Mercury it would hardly be one
tenth. hope other observations may
have been made by other astronomers,
SO that we may be able to determine
It's distance"

BACKWOODS SURGERY.
Treating DislOcation With Pulley and
Steam Engine.

Treating Dislocation With Pulley and
Steam Engine.
Probably as queer piece of back
woods surgery as has been described. 4"
says a frequenter of the region, twas
that performed by a Moosehead lake
guide known as old Sabattus 20 years
ago. The man was not an Indian, as the
nickname implies, but a Yankee, one of
those rough fellows formerly character
istic of that locality. This guide was
left on lake steamboat at one of the
far up landings while the engineer went
ashore with the company. A man named
Meservey came aboard and in fooling
around the boat managed to tumble
down into the fire pit and put his shout
der ont of joint
Here was dilemma The other
members of the party would not be back
for half an hour, and the injured man
was in great pain. The guide was a man
of expedients. He got a rope and tied
his patient securely to a post Then he
tied another one around the mans wrist
and hitched the loose end of it to q pull
ley of the engine. He managed some
how to turn on steam, and the pulley
began to wind up the rope. 1t drew the
arm out tight in beautiful shape and
presently the joint snapped back into
its socket Then Sabattus jumped
around to shut off steam while the pull
ley kept ON winding. Holy Moses,
gasped the guide excitedly, how does
it go? don't know where it is. can t
stop the blanked thing And the pulley
meanwhile was slowly but surely pull
ing Meservey to pieces. His eyes were
sticking out of their sockets, and he
screamed and gasped for breath.
"Sabattus danced around like wild
man, not knowing what TO do, when he
happened to spy Ratchet lying near,
and, jumping for that, he cut the rope
and saved dreadful catastrophe. This
was done just as the party of city folks
who had gone ashore came rushing back
ON to the boat alarmed at Meservey s
screams. 1t twas some years afterward, "
says the narrator, that was present
when a lot of summer company arrived
at Greenville. Sabattus was there, too,
and presently distinguished looking
man, one of the newcomers, went up to
him and said with meaning smile,
Are not you the man that practices
surgery by steam?' and Sabattus had to
admit that he was that same Teller.

airy regiment, organized to repel the
st. Adams raid, and was appointed a
major of the regiment. At the close of
the war Maj. Grout returned home and
resumed the study of law in the Office
of his brother, Gen. Grout. He was adj
mitted to the bar in 1865, and practiced
law in partnership with his brother in
Barton, VT, at the same time assisting
in editing the Barton Standard. In
1875 he moved to Chicago, where he
practiced his profession for three years.
He then moved to Moline, Ill, and was
elected supervisor of Rock Island coun-
ty. He declined a proffered nomina-
ton to run for congressman, and in
1880 returned to Vermont, settling
with his family in the Hinman home
stead, where his wife was born, in
Derby. After leaving Chicago Mr..
Grout abandoned the practice of law
and turned his energies to farming.
He owns one of the largest farms in
Vermont. He was elected to the legis-
lature in 1872 and 1874, and the latter
time was chosen speaker. After his re-
turn from the west he was again sent to
the legislature in 1884, 1856 and 1888,
serving as speaker the last two terms.
He was state senator in 1892 and has
been vice president and president of the
Republican league of Vermont.

No Autographs For Her.

A certain family whose home is in
the suburbs of London have in their
employ cook whose ways are invari-
ably so methodical and her cooking so
near perfection that were she to leave
her present home one-half of the mis-
tresses in the district would be eager to
secure her services. Neverby any chance
has dinner been late at Myrtle Villa, or
the joint under or over done, neither has
any policeman crossed its threshold.
But, treasure that she is, she came near
to making change of residence at the
close of her very first months stay.
On the morning of the day upon which
her wages became due her mistress re-
quested her to step into the study where
her master was waiting to pay her. In
a few moments she rushed from the
study to the kitchen, where she had
left her mistress, and in less time than
it takes to narrate had given that aston
ished lady notice.
'But whatever is the matter, Mary?"
inquired her mistress. "What has your
master said or done to annoy your"
HE hasn't said nuthin," replied
Mary as she fiourished a check in her
mistress face, but he's on'y given me
this for a months slavery. Not me.

MAY HAVE SATELLITES.
Chicago Astronomer Thinks the Earth

Chicago Astronomer Thinks the Earth
Has at Least One of Them.
Louis Gathmann, one of Chicago's en-
thusiastic amateur astronomers, thinks
he has discovered a satellite of the
earth. 1t has generally been taken for
granted that it has none, but Mr.. Gath
mann now believes this view to be err
roneous.
HAS our earth a number of satellites
revolving around its orbit similar to
those of Saturn or Jupiter?" he asked,
and then he proceeded to answer his
own question thus: even Mars has
two known satellites, while our earth,
so far as is known in fact, has none.
Luna, our moon, is by no means satel-
lite, but q planet. Luna does not re-
volve round our earth, as all other
known satellites revolve around their
respective planets in our solar system.
Saturn has a great number of planets

AS the circus procession was re-
turning to the show grounds on
South Flores street after the pa
rade this morning the big van con-
tanning the colored band broke
down by one wheel coming off.
All the musicians, with their in

stampeded, under the impression
that one of the animal cages had
broken down and the animals
loosed.

CIRCUS IN TOWN.
VISIT OF FOREPAUGH AND SELLS
BROS SHOWS.
People Came in From the NeighbOring
Towns to See the Big Parade, the
Menagerie and the Fine Ring
Performance.

The Adam FOrepaugh and
Sells Bros combined shows ar
rived this morning over the In
ternatiOnal from San Marcos in
four sections and pitched their
mammoth tents on the old circus
ground at the Arkansas Pass de-
pot. The big parade passed
through the streets at IL o'clock
and was witnessed by crowds on
all sides. Many visitors from
neighbOring towns came in on
the morning trains and on wag-
Ons and the city presented Il hOli-
day appearance.
1t is estimated that fully 40,
900 persons witnessed the glitter
ing pageant. The rolling stock
is newly-painted and decorated,
the tableauX wagons, animal dens
and band wagons being resplen-
dent with new gold leaf. Three
bands, a drum corps and Scot
fish bagpipes, together with a
calliOpe. furnished music all
along the line and many open
cages added to the interest of the
splendid street display.
Prominent featured of the ami
nal exhibition are the two mon
ster hippopOtami; two big herds
of trained elephants, one of
which includes the justly famed
FOrepaugh eight that do anything
but talk; the largest and finest
polar bear in captivity; horned
rhinOceros; a flock of Ostriches,
a cage of Australian kangarOOs,
horned horses, tapir, pair of
the finest royal Bengal tigers ev-
err seen, 16 lions, including three
cubs born at Elyria last summer
and so other cages of animals of
the circus proper. The first tour
nament took place precisely at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, and as
the cavalcade encircled the hip
podrOme track it afforded the
management rare opportunity
to display the magnificent ward
robe which has been provided.
A new feature in the shape of
living illustrations of rare works
of art was introduced on the ele
waited stage, and after the custO-
mary Introductory song by a lit
tie clown with a big voice the
different feats commenced with
an act on aerial bars. Trained
ponies, dogs, pigs and mules APP
peared during the performance,
being judiciOusly sandwiched in
between wonderful bareback rid
ing acts and thrilling leaps and
gyratiOns in the air by trapeze
and slack wire artists.
One especially noteworthy fea-
ture was the appearance of lady
riders in each of the three rings
