The three.year.oId boy OF J. A. John

The three year.old boy oil J. A. John
son, of Lynn Center, ILL.,, is subject TO
attacks of Group. Mr.. Johnson says he
ia sati6ed that the timely use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, during Sc
we're attack, saved his little boys life.
He is in the drug business, member
ofthe firm of Johnson Bros, OF that place
and they handle great many patent
medicines for throat and lung diseases.
He had all these to choose from, and
skilled physicians ready to respond to
his call, but selected this remedy for use
in his own family at time when his
child's life was in danger, because he
knew it to be superior to any other,
and famous the country over for its
cures for Group. Mr.. Johnson says
this is the best selling cough medicine
they handle, and that it gives splendid
satisfaction in all cases. Sold by ]. 81.

COST OF soLoMoN'sT TEMPLE.

COST OF SOLOMON'5TEMPLE.
A noted statsitician and investigator
who has lots of time for such work has
been doing some figuring on the cost of
the Temple of Solomon, and says few
people, even in these days of palmly ex.
travagancs aud millionaire display,
have an adequate impression of the
enormous cost of the great temple.
According to Villalpandus, the "tal-
euts" of gold, silver and brass were
equal to the enormous sum of $685.
$4,000 pounds sterling. The value of
the jewels is placed at figure equally
as high. The vessels of gold, accord
ing to Josephus, were valued at lac, 600
talents, which, reduced to English
mouey, was equal to SIS ,296, POS
pounds. The vessels of silver, accord
ing to the same authority, were still
more valuable, beings set down SIS worth
GAG ,344, 900. Priests INVESTMENT and
the robes of singers, 100000, and the
trumpets, 1000 pounds 10 this add
the expense of the building material,
labor, etc., and some wonderful figures
result. Ten thousand men hewiDg
cedars, $4,000 bearers of burdens, SO.-
600 bewers OF stone, 8 800 overseers,
all of whom were employed for seven
years, and upon whom, besides their
wages, Solomon bestowed 6,733, $40
pounds. Ii their daily food was worth
so cents each, the sum total for all was
63 3,S77,0SS pounds during the time OF
building. The materials in the rough
are estimated as having been worth
2,545 337 900 pounds. This gives q to-
tai, just for this much of the expense,
which by no means expresses the whole
cost, OF l0,7l9,760, ,261 pounds, or about
$50, Ill, ,034, SGT 46.

THE NOVEMBER METEoRs.
The feature of greatest interest Q

The feature of greatest interest on
the astronomical calendar for Novem
ber is the possibility Of brilliant dis
play of Leonids on the 18Th and 14;h of
the month. Once in thirty-three years
at about this time in November won
'jerful shower of meteors has been Oh
served. The shower of November r.
1888, is reported to have caused con-
sternation among the ignorant negroes
Of the South. while it attracted atten
tiou the world over. The air is said to
have seemed as full Of falling stars as
snowhakes in snow storm. Ia 1866
Europe witnessed remarkable display
Tor some six or seven hours. The LIE.
onids, as these meteors are called, be.
cause they seem to rsdiate from point
in the constellation Leo, are, therefore,
due to return in force in 1899, but the
earth will doubtless meet the advance
guard this and next year, while there
should be some stragglers in 1900 Un-
fortunately, moonlight will seriously
interfere with observations in 1899,
Wi lie even this year the moon is be-
tween the full and the third quarter on
The 18th of the month. In 1898 condi-
lions will be more favorable. In any
case it will be advisable to warch for
Lsonids this year, as there is an even
chance of something spectacular. Leo
ioes not rise until about midnight this
month, SO that the later the watch is
kept up, the greater the probability OF
seeing the meteors.
Another we'll known meteoric shower
due in November is the Andromedes
They are seen on or about the 9th of
the month, and come, as their name in
icates, from the constellation Of An
dromeda. Every thirteen years they
appear in unusual numbers, the last
Two times having been in 1872 and 1885,
so that the period will be completed 10
1898 II is by no means improbable,
however, that there will be andre
medes enough to cause comment this
year. Audrolpeda is above the horizon
almost the entire night during Novem-
Der, so that the meteors may be ex-
pected at any time, although, as rule,
more are seen during the hours after
midnight than any other time.
Extensive preparations have been
made to photograph the November me-
teors this year. Yale College Observa-
tory Was the pioneer in tuis work, but
the success attained was never very
satisfactory. Prof. E. E. Barnard, OF
the Yerkes Observatory, has secured at
enc time or another several very good
photographs of meteors, and only the
other day Prof. Pick ering, of Harvard,
had the good fortune to photograph the
spectrum of meteor. In all these
cases the astronomer had to wait until
some meteor chanceG to cross the 6eld
of his lens, as it would be manifestly
impossible to photograph meteor after
it had been found visually. 1t is hoped
now, however, with improved Lenses
aud great shower probable to catch a
large number of meteoric trails on the
plates.
