The Mystery of the Heavens.

Look through telescope at some tiny
star invisible to the naked eye. The light
from that star perhaps left its surface be-
fore the time of William the Conqueror
1t may belt is not quite impossible-that
the tiny star has since those days actually
left off shining. But still we see 1t in our
sky, because the rays which started while
1t yet shone are arriving moment by mo-
ment, telling us the story Of what the star
was like hundreds of years ago before it
parted with its brightness.
Perhaps again, we are examining
through large telescope faint and far
off nebula-a mass of whirling gases the
light of which has taken, say, 5000 years
TO get here We see what the nebula was
like in prehistoric ages 1t may since Hen
have lessened In size and changed in shape.
1t may now wear very different aspect,
and men looking from earth 10, 900 years
hence will be able to see what that nebula
was like In our days. All these things help
us to understand what the immensity of
the stellar system is--and yet more, to
imagine dimly what the measureless ex-
tent of all creation must be If many such
star systems float side by side throughout
the vast domains of space.-Chambers'

Boring . Coral Reef.

Funafuti island, due north Of the Fiji

OF researches into the nature of the islands
formation. Funafuti island Is typical
atoil, being mostly submerged on the west
ern side, with long strip on the eastern
side above water II Is about Is miles in
circumference and miles In its largest
diameter
About six years ago committee was
formed by the British association to super
intend the boring and sounding of coral
reef so as to determine as much as possible
the character Of the formation The chief
in charge OF the expedition Is Professor
Sollas secretary Of the original committee
The main feature of the expedition Is to
learn so far as possible the structure of a
coral reef, and with good luck IL Is hoped
to get down 700 feet into the islands for
nation The explorers are instructed to
bring back core in a pile of the drills

much Of the island has been formed by liv-
ing coral growing on coral, how much by
coral debris and how much by other for.

New Mining Explosive,

Miners are becoming interested 10 q new
mining explosive described by Professor f.
Kleinpeter of Vienna, which Is being in
troduced In Austria. The name given to
it is dahrnenite A, and its strength Is said
to be 33 per cent greater than the best gel
attn dynamite, and, in consequence of the
large volume of gas which 1t produces
being approximately double that yielded
by dynamite-it has wedging rather than
pulverizing action, resulting in a ma
terially increased fall Of lump coal. Other
advantages mentioned are that it can be
compressed without losing any Of the ex-
plosive force, and in this state is claimed
even to exceed dynamite A weaker de-
tonator is required to bring 1t to explosion
than is demanded for any other known
safety explosive, and 1t Is better able to
withstand the effects Of storage, and no
decomposition can take place when the
packing is proper. Indeed, such is the
safety with which 1t may be handled that
the German railways allow it to be carried
on any train,
