LIMITS OF THE UNIVERSE.
mining and Scientific Press, San Fran
cisco.)

The announcement that the limits of
the universe nave been reached by human
vision is startling. Prof Newcomb, REQ
ognized as one of tho greatest of living
astronomers, says evidence is accumulat-
ing which points to probability that the
small stars which our powerful modern
telescopes have brought into view, do not
look small because they are farther away,
but by reason of their inferior size. There
are no more beyond. In other words,
we are actually able to see the boundaries
of our universe. OF this universe we
know the general form. 1t has the shape
of an enormous disk, the solar system be-
ing not far from the center. We may say
that this disk. so inconceivably huge, has
a diameter four or five times it's thick
ness. AS to the length of the diameter
we cannot speak with great accuracy, be.
cause we are not acquainted with the
precise distances of many of the stars.
Fifty years hence we shall know great
deal more on that subject than we do at
present. We may say that the distance
across the disk, from one side of the uni
verse to the other, is 10000, or may be
$4,000 light years. There is wide mar
gin of guess in the estimate A light year
is the distance which ray of light will
travel in one year. One can figure that
out himself, the rate being 1856, 900 miles q
second. 1t takes little over eight min
utes for light to come to us from the sun,
which is 90, 10000 miles away. The light
by which we are able to see very distant
star through telescope may have started
from that star 25,000 years ago. Assum-
ing that to be the case, it is 25 600 light
years away from us. We can see about
5000 stars with the naked eye With the
most powerful telescope we can see per-
haps $4,000. There is no telling how
many millions moro there are unob-
served. One may get notion of meas
urements from the fact that the radius of
the earth's orbit, line 80, DOC, 900 miles
in length. not only vanishes from sight
before we reach the distance of the great
mass of stars, but from that distance be-
comes mere point that the most delicate
| appliances fail to make measurable.

The Tortured Horse.

Now that horses are passing away be- fore the trolley. the cable, the bicy- cle and the horseless carriage many horse owners are learning for the first time that the use of sunbonnets on horses has materially decreased the mor- tality among them in Europe. The horses must present droll appearance with their faces peering out of their straw bonnets, their ears also being vis- ible through holes made for the pur- pose. Before the horse becomes quite extinct as a draft animal the sunbon- net might bo used with advantage to lessen the misery of his remaining sum- mers.
 The passing of the horse, by the way. is very generally deplored. However, no lover of animals will grieve over his ceasing to be Nature was very cruel when she made horses. The victim ever of mans ignorance, and until late years the victim also of his unchecked brutal ity, the victim also of his pleasurings and his gambling, the horse-denied the power possessed by other domestic animals, such as the cat and the dog, of voicing its anguish-has led life of ghastly tragedy. Very occasionally from birth to death he has been well cared for. But the common lot of the horse has been the tortured fate of any sensi- tive creature at the mercy of that most cruel of created things-mankind. The passing of the horse will very apprecia- ply lessen the total of the worlds suf- fering Vogue.

Big Magnets For Hoistins Iron.

It is known that for some time past electro magnets have been used at Wool wich for hoisting shells and for other purposes. It appears that these can be advantageously employed for handling plates in plate mills. A recent installa- tion of electro magnets for this purpose has proved remarkably successful. A primary difficulty was encountered in the circumstance of the magnets pick ing up too many plates at one time, as the magnetism was carried for some distance through the pile. The diffi- culty, however, was found to be readily overcome by little dexterity on the part of the operator. After the magnet has been lowered on to a pile of plates and several plates have been taken up together, the operator simply pulls the switch out, thereby breaking the cur rent for an instant. By this operation one or two plates can be dropped off at each breaking of the current, sufficient residual magnetism remaining with the plates next to the magnet to hold them until the current is switched on again. The operation is continued until only one plate is attached. With double pole magnets up to five tons can be safely handled, taking four amperes at 240 volts.-London Industries and Iron.

Eggs as Ammunition.

People in the little mountain town of Sharpsburg, Ky, have peculiar diver sion known as egg throwing. The heav- fest battles occur on Saturday night. Jim Strong is the captain of one egg throwing band and Bill Eversole is the captain of the other. They have about 90 men each. Each man has to provide himself with a dozen eggs, and, of course, it is to his interest to buy them where he can get them the cheapest. As no individual expects to be struck by his own eggs, he does not require the dealer to "candle" them. In this way the dealers in country produce here are able to realize at least cost price on their sickest eggs.
 Last Saturday nights battle was a glorious one. The moon was shining, and the boys lined up for the fray about 9 o'clock. Every member of the two companies was present. The captains did not throw, simply directing the movements of their men. Each had his full quota of eggs when the battle be- gan. The first volley was thrown by Strong's men, and six men on the Ever sole side were struck. Then the Ever soles began to throw eggs, and at the first volley seven Strong men were marked, and one egg carried away the cap of Captain Strong. Then the throw ing became indiscriminate and no at- tempt at volley work was made
 The sport did not cease until the en- tire 460 eggs were thrown. Nearly every man had been plastered, and the cap tains were regular omelets from head to foot. It was decided that Strong s men won the fight. The most casual observer passing along the street next morning could have told there had been an egg battle, for the houses, sidewalks, fences and curbstones were plastered with eggs and shells.-Chicago Record.

Merit in medicine means the power to cure. Hoods SarsapariIla possesses actual and unequalled curative power and there fore it has true merit. When you buy Hoods Sarsaparilla, and take it according to directions, to purify your blood, or cure any of the many blood diseases, you are morally certain to receive benefit. The power to cure Is there. You are not trying an experiment. It will make your blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus drive out the germs of disease, strengthen the nerves and build up the whole system.

Origin of Desserts.

We are indebted to the French sys- tenn of gastronomy for the dessert courses at heals They had no place in the early English dinner and were first introduced into that country in the time of the Stuarts, when the French revival took place under Charles I. At first they were simply accompaniments to other courses, being composed of vari- ous sweet things, designed, according to an old Norman writer, ito take the taste of the horrible cookery out of their mouths. i" In the course of time the sweets were put in course by themselves, which stimulated the French cooks to put forth their con- stant endeavors to invent new dishes. Louis XIV had cook who invented new desserts for his masters dinnerA
