POPULAR SCIENCE.

The difference between a planet and
star Is this: A star shines by it's own
light; planet by light reflected from
another body.
The poles of Jupiter are flattened al
most exactly like those of the earth.
The phenomenon can be plainly seen
with the telescope.
Among the botanical specimens col
lected by the Cornell scientific party in
Greenland were some full-grown for
est trees less than three inches in
height.
In the useful report of DR.. Lintner,
state entomologist of New York, it is
stated that the little red ant, pest in
troduced from Europe, has the single
redeeming feature that it is an active
and efficient enemy of the bedbug.
The Pleiades contain six stars WISH
BILE to the eyes of ordinary keenness,
though ~ or IA have been counted in
this cluster by persons of eXtraordi-
nary eyesight. A two-inch telescope
shows about 60 stars in this cluster.
Mathematical calculations show that
an iron ship weighs 81 per cent. less
than a wooden, and will carry 115 tons
of cargo for every 100 tons carried by
a wooden ship of the same dimensions,
and both loaded to the same draught of
water.
The most scientific forester in Eu-
rope says the oldest trees in northern
Europe are the pines of Norway and
Sweden, and that these are not known
to live more than $40 years. Ger
many's Oldest oaks live only little
more than 800 years.

Cupid breaks his bow at the sight Of
a face full of pmples. Hollow cheeks,
sunken eyes, and "a sallow complexion
will defy his best intentions. Beauty
is more than skin deep. The skin is
merely the surface on which is written
in plain characters the condition of

cal Discovery is good for the complex
ion because it makes the whole body
healthy-because it blears and purifies
the blood, makes the digestion strong
and clears out impurities of all kinds.
BY increasing the ability to assimilate
nutritious food, and by the infusion of
its own ingredients it enriches the
blood aud so makes solid, heating flesh.

from the same cause-a disordered di-

Every morning he starts out for a
kind of century run about the house,
evidently TO improve his digestion, and
he disturbs the family at night. He has
made havoc with heap of nuts In the
attic, and evidently has no conscientious
scruples against the appropriation OF
other food. All kinds of traps have been

You have seen the woman who jerks
her head as she walks, suppose? The

is just the woman to miss a good hus.

The girl who cannot walk without
skipping is very cheerful girl and en-.
joys life with much the same gusto az
the girl with an elastic step who tips on
her toes at every stride. But perhaps

for a moment into shop windows and
then walk briskly on, and who goes
through life with the fixed resolve of
getting the most pleasure out of every
thing.

ties with One.
No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no init
mate knowledge of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidity
ferocious, and illustrators have pic
tured him as n sort of semi-wild beast,
til the general public has come to look
upon him as dangerous, says Outing.
"Give a dog bad name," is an old
saw and perhaps true one, but when it
is applied to the bulldog, it is manifest
ly unjust. Writers, too, have fallen into
grave error in claiming that the bull
dog is deficient not only in affection, but
in intelligence.
No greater proof of the falsity of the
latter could be given than was wit.

one of the hardest men to catch nap

"Why," said he, Frank could lean
up against a telegraph pole and fal.
sound asleep, but with the regularity
of clock he would hit the pole with his
club. A sergeant could always easily
locate him on his beat from this noise,
but Cogswell would invariably be wide

The story, as told, by the old men who
served with this officer, runs like this:
Much complaint had been made about
policemen sleeping on their beats, and
the chief decided to put stop to it.
All sergeants doing night duty were
instructed to keep close watch on the
patrolmen in their respective districts.
Nearly third of the men were caught
and reported before the patrolmen dis
covered that they were being closely
watched. Cogswell was suspected OF
| taking nap occasionally, but no SER

a case against him. He was often
caught on a dry goods box and lean

every instance his club would be tap
