Stars and Distances.

In all the heavens, with the excep.
ton of passing meteors or meteortes,
not one body occupies n position closer
to earth than the moon, which is some
100000 miles away. Very far, of course,
side by side with any earthly distances,
but mere fraction side by side with
other astronomical distances. Next to
the moon, our nearest occasional neigh.
Dor Is Venus, and then Mars. Both
Venus and Mars, however, are often
further away from us than the sun,
which remains always at somewhere
about the same distance, roughly at
from 90,000,000 to 100000 miles.
This dividing space between sun and
earth is of great importance In think
ing about the stars, and it should be
clearly impressed upon the mind. Next
to the sun In point of nearness come
the more distant planets-Jupiter,
which is about five times as far from
the sun as our earth is; Saturn, nearly
twice as far as Jupiter; Uranus, nearly
twice as far as Saturn; and Neptune,
lcarly three times as far as Saturn. All

the solar system as whole, consisting
thus of the sun and his planets, includ-
ing the earth, may I've fairly well grasp
ed by any one taking the trouble to
master two simple facts. They are
these: That our earth is roughly about
100000 miles away from the sun,
and that Neptune, the outermost planet
Of the solar system, is nearly thirty
times as far distant from the sun as our

AN HISTORIC STEAMER.
IL Has Bod n Remarkable Career on
the Hudson River.

the Hudson River.
The steamer Drew left Albany on her
last trip Saturday night, amid the shrek
demonstration was not so great as that
which heralded its FIRST arrival 1t Is be-
cause not so many vessels ply the
waters of the Hudson Mt Albany as
there did thirty years ago. Then the
river front Of Albany was lively and
bustllng. Now but for the tugs of the
Roman line, the New York and New
burg boats, and the few steamers that
carry freight and passengers TO nearby
points, the waters of the river would
be unvexed by passing craft.
1t Is the day of the railroad, but,
while wind and water hold, the pleas
ure and profit of marine adventure
will never lose their charm. And so,
though we speed the departing Drew,
the coming Adirondack Is cordially vel
coined. If at the end of the first quar-
ter of the twentieth century the boat

day It went into commission. If its
saloons and cnbii-, could talk what n
history they wruld tell; for In its time
the Drew carried as passengers nearly
every person of prominence on this
side of the Atlantic, and travellers
from the old world were bonld to have
one trip on the Hudson River nign;
boats. the fame of which had penctrat.
ted wherever travellers go.
There was nothing like them In the
world-certainly nothing in Europe
which anywhere approached them fol
space of accommodation, for appoint
ments. and for general comfort The
boats on the Rhine were small when
compared with them. while the channel
packets produced hideous Nightmares
when contrasted with the luxury OF
travel on the Hudson. Not even t;lc
boats on the Mississippi, when traveI
on that river was at its height, were to
be mentioned in the same breath. The
Hudson River steamers confessedly led
all lines of inland travel until Colonel
James Fisk, Jr., took charge of the
Fail River line of steamers. That
marked the beginning of another era
in American steamboatlng, and now
the Sound boats in many respects arc
unapproachable. But the officers of the
Peoples line are resolved that :he

One plan suggested for helping banks out of their difficulties in tight times is that the separate small country banks should be merged into few central ones, something after the manner of a trust. Each country bank should main- tain its own individual existence as be, fore, but instead of standing alone it would merely be a member of the great central trust or machine. It would prac- tically be the country branch of large central bank in one of the great cities. The general management would be To- cated at the central headquarters. If this were done, when one of the branch banks became embarrassed the resources of the whole trust or combination would be at its command to restore it. The central banks might be located in one of the largest cities in each section of the Union, their branches extending through all the adjacent states. The banking business of Great Britain is chiefly man. aged in that way.
