after long run the dogs brought up at

Star Distances.

Great interest has been created in as
Economical circles by some of the results
reached by Professor Simon Newcomb
in his more recent Investigations. One
of these is that astronomers have been
overestimating the distances OF the stars
and the other that our universe has, att
er all, fairly we'll defined limit. The
first of these conclusions Professor New
comb bases on an idea that the stars
which are called the smaller ones be-.
cause they are less bright may not be
large stars at very great distance, but
perhaps smaller or DINNER ones nearer
at hand. The old idea is familiar to all
namely, that all the stars are OF the
same brightness and that the fainter
ones are at very much greater distance
from us than tho bright ones. This the
ory. however, has been weakened by
later discoveries, such as, for example,
that Sirius has companion whose light,
if equal surfaces be considered, is but
fraction Of that Of its principal, and as
tronomers have come to recognize dim
stars, or even dark ones, like the com.
panions of Algol, about which so much
has lately been written, to be quite as
common perhaps in the universe al
the bright ones. Professor Newcomb' {
proposition as to the limits of the uni
verse is regarded as even more novel ant
striking, suggesting, as it does, the pos
sibility that some day all the stars viii
be seen New York Sun

The Spectrum of a Star.

A late circular issued from the Har-
ward college observatory includes in its
account of the most important recent
discoveries the spectrum OF star
known as Zeta Puppis, its remarkable
character being unlike that of any other
vet obtained, the continuous spectrum
containing three systems of lines-first,
the dark hydrogen lines, such as are
found in stars of the first type; second,
two bright bands or lines, which may
be identical with the adjacent lines in
spectra of the fifth type, and. third, a
series of very faint lines. But the most
important feature of this spectrum is
new element not found on the earth or
in any other stars, an element which,
though similar to hydrogen, yet dis
tinctly different from it. Just what II
is or by what name to call ii astronomers
are undecided, the marked peculiarly
being noted that it produces vibration
systematic rather than accidental OF
three ten millionths of a millimeter and
the action of which can be traced only
on specially prepared Photographic
plate. Another extraordinary discovery
noted is a new variable star in the con
stellation Crux, with period Of about
year.

General I.ee.a Rebuite.

"The bravost are the tenderest," and
they are also the most magnanimous.
An anecdote, told by the Washington
Times of General X. Il, Lee, shows how
great in mind and elevated in soul was
this distinguished soldier
General Lee, in October, 1865, accept
ed the presidency Of Washington col
lege, at Lexington, Va, at a salary OF
81, 800 year He had been previously
offered the position Of president of the
National Express company, organized
by capitalists in New York, at salary
of 500, 600 a year, and, although very
poor in purse, he decided, as he always
did decide, 60 follow what he deemed
the line of his duty and devote the re-
mainder of his life to the education of
youth
He welded his vast influence in the
south to soften the asperities that ever
spring from civil war and to promote
among its people spirit of national
fraternity
In the period Of political feeling en-
gendered by party strife under the re-
construction act of congress several
professors in his college, while in a
large company of ladies and gentlemen,
denounced the government of the Unit
ed States in his presence, and he re-
proved their harsh structures by reciting
the following lines written by the per-
sian poet HATH:
Learn from your orient shell to love thy foe
| And store with pearls the hand that brings
thee woe.
| Free like yon rock, from base, vindictivt
| pride,
Emblaze with gems the wrist that rends thy
side.
After reciting these beautiful lines
in clear voice and with deep feeling
General Lee added, "Ought not we
who profess to be governed by the
principles of Christianity, to rise at least
to the standard of this Mohammedai
poet and learn to forgive our enemies?"
