OUR ASTRONOMERS IN MEXICO.

Discoveries Made There by the Ex.
Perts of the Lowell Observatory.
The Mexican Herald prints an account Of
the removal from Mexico of the great tel
escope Of the Lowell astronomical observa-
tory because of the coming of the rainy
season In the tropics. 1t was but four
months ago. or early in December last.
that the observatory was temporarily
established In Mexico under the direction
Of Prof Lowell, for the purpose of observ-
ing the opposition of Mars and for the
measurement of southern double stars. The
telescope has been used night and day, and
the results were satisfactory. Prof. Lowell.
Prof. Douglass and Miss Leonard made
more than 100 drawings of Mars, and also
secured large number of sketches of
Venus and Mercury. adding at least twenty
new markings TO the maps of these plan
ets Prof. Douglass continued his study Of
the markings on Jupiter's satellites. and
made important discoveries. 1t is said
also that DR.. See and Mr.. Cogshan, two
keen-sighted observers, have measured
over 800 double and triple stars since the
beginning of this year. The asIcohomcrs
Of the world. however. will moi be able to
estimate the value of the recent researches
until fun and exact Iepurts shall bG made.
The learned. presiaent Of the. republic of
Mexico, Gen. Porfirio Diaz,ssnaSs TtaksH q
astronomers. and has repeatedly visited
the observatory s,Gce last Decssnbe-., The
cabinet ministers and other officers of iae
government conrteouely extended all p.s-
siilc' siG to :hs American party. and tie
M"Aican couartunty at large gave a good
welcome to the strangers.
The observatory has removed to its quar-
tiers at Flagstaff. in Arizona, where Prof.
Lowell expects to remain until the ap-
proach of winter. when he will go to Peru.
1t Is to be said for the president of Mex
leo that his interest in all scientific re-
searches has become very deep within re-
cent years. He has made this interest
manifest by remarks made in several OF
his messages to the Mexican congress
Prof. Lowell and his party had reason to
appreciate the intelligence OF Gen. Diaz.

Clever Woman DefeaAea.
/ the New York Advertiser.


Il am called a clever man, so I am a liv-
ing contradiction of the idea that men Of
education and intelligence do not marry
women similarly endowed" said a success
full author recently. That a clever woman
does not make a good wife is one Of the most
ridiculous of fAlacies. There is nothing in
life that a clever woman cannot and will
not do better than q stupid one. Education
develops a woman's power in every direo-
tion and makes her more capable of d.
recting a household and constructing q pud-
ding than she would be without II. The ed
ucated woman who imperfectly performs
her duties in life. would not have fulfilled
them better. but much worse. II her mind
had received no training. And the badly
Informed girl who cooks q good dinner and
mends her husbands socks would do both
a great deal better IL her powers of mind
and of intelligence had been cultivated
and brought to bear on her daily work"

A Qncer Fact About Vision.

From st. Nfchoas
In the eye itself certain things may go
on which give wrong sensations. which.
although not truly illusions, are very much
like them. Thus. when We suddenly strike
our heads or faces against something In
the dark. we see stars" or bright sparks.
which we know are not real lights. though
they are quite as bright and sparkling as II
they were. When we close one eye and
look straight ahead at some word or letter
in the middle of this page. for example.
we seem to see not only the thing We are
looking at. but everything else Immediately
about it and for a long way on each side.
But the truth Is, there is large round
spot, somewhere near the point at which
We are looking. in which we see nothing.
Curiousfy enough. the existence of this
blind spot was not discovered by accident
ard nobody ever suspected II until Marlotte
reasoned from the construction of the eye
ball that II must exist and proceeded to
nnd II.

Miss Marie Edith Rice, who is said to
play an excellent Mrs. Ralston in "Jim the
Penman. is not only a beautiful and tai
ented woman, but she is quite an athlete.
Miss Rice is and always has been a lover
and deWotee' to everything aquatic: she
delightsis TO be on or in the water: she b
boat with the skill of an Old salt. and,
attired in her natty bathing suit, is almost
, as much at home in the water as on land.
What she Is not familiar with concerning
swimming is practically a waste of time to
learn. It was during her stay at one Of
the Long Island beaches last summer she
demonstrated her wonderful endurance in
swimming. A friendly contest was ar
ranged for between a number of the lady
swimmers. in which there was consider
able interest. for there were some pretty
good aquatic navigators present. 1t was a
long distance contest and Miss Rice won
easily, swimming five miles, distancing her
nearest competitor three miles. She also
established quite reputation as a life
saver. and i'll consequence was urgently
requested to become member of the life
saving crew at that station. which honor,
she modestly declined. On three different
occasions she saved soul from q watery
grave. two Of which were accidents. and
the. other a determined effort to end a
life of sorrow and remorse. Those at
tributed to accident she had little trouble
in saving; the other fought against rescue,
and 1t was only after a struggle and q
third descent, which produced unconscious
ness, that Miss Rice was enabled to turn
the unfortunate girl on her back and float
her into shore. where, with the assistance
and herculean efforts of others, she was
resuscitated.
