SATURN,S FAMOUS KINGS.
A Phenomenon Unlike Anything Else In
the Whole Solar System.
Tuo,.v ope who has piven the least


Every one who has given the least
attention possible to astronomical
curios knows that Saturn presents
phenomenon to which there is moth
ing analogous in the whole Of the
solar system-two broad, flat and
very thin rings being his constant at
tendants in his trips around the sun.
Galileo first noticed a popularity in
the appearance Of this ringed planet,
which he said appeared like large
body placed between two smaller
ones" Huygens first described the
rings and figured them for the bene-
fit Of those not fortunate enough to
own telescope.
The breadth Of these rings from the
outer diameter Of the larger to the
inner edge Of the smaller has been
computed at 30, 900 miles; total di-
ameter of the outer ring, 167, 900
miles, and space of 10000 miles is
supposed to intervene between the
inner edge Of the small ring and the
surface of the planet itself.
The composition of these rings, or,
rather, this system Of rings-some
authors mention three and even four,
although 1 have mentioned but two
in the opening, which seems to be
the number accorded by the majority
of writers-is simply matter OF con-
lecture. Some astronomers claim
that they are composed of material
similar to that of the planet itself,
while others are sure that they are
composed of numerous satellites
(moons) mingled with vaporous mat
ter travelling in planes"
Maxwell says, 1.-The rings must be
formed of separate particles moving
around the planet as independent
satellites" According to Otto Struve,
observations on the rings for period
over 200 years prove beyond doubt
that they are widening, and that the
lower edge of the inner one is slowly
but certainly approaching the body
of the planet. st. Louis Republic.

"What is it?" And Johnston follow
cd the eyes of the Alphian.
"Our shadows Oh the crystal cliff"
said Branasko in an awed tone "Only
the light from the changing sun could
make them So
Johnston shuddered superstitiously at
the tone of Branasko's quivering voice
and their giant shadows, which stood
out OH the smooth crystal like silhou
cites. So clear cut were they that in his
own shadow the American could see his
breast heaving and in Branasko's the
quivering Of the Alphian's huge body
and limbs.
IF we have happened upon the home
Of the sun, only the spirit of the dead
kings could tell what will become Of

"Puhi You are bllndly superstitlous,
said Johnston. "What if we do come
upon the sun? Let's go down there and
look into the mystery"
Branasko fell into the rear, and the
American stoutly pushed ahead toward

creasing AS they advanced the cave got

plain, over which hung fathomless dark
ness, and out of the plain great, da7-

Whist We Owe to Fire.

It is worth while to note how few
Of the things, besides the fire ON the
hearth, that go to make up a modern
fireside could ever have come into
being except through the agency Of
the fire. Trace the origin Of the
book you have been reading in your
cozy corner Of the hearth. Speech
itself is partly growth and partly
m invention, but we're we not so
familiar with them we should bow
our heads in awe In the presence Of
these wondrous arbitrary characters
we call the letters Of the alphabet,
by means Of which we represent
thought and speech, 80 that ideas are
preserved age after age. We look
at these characters and straightway
In our minds are reproduced the
speculations of Plato, the poetical
imaginings Of Virgil or the teach
ings Of Jesus.
Through picture writing, hero
glyph, such figures as children play
with and call the rebus; by steps like
these-and the steps were many CEN
turies-the race climbed to the attain
ment Of a phonetic alphabet. Then
many centuries still passed by, until
at last, after the beneficent fire had
helped men smelt and shape the
stubborn iron the movable type was
invented, and all the thoughts Of the
world are the common property Of
any who will learn to read. Measure
the distance from the hut Of the bar
barian to the flreside of a modern
home, and you measure the total ad-
vance that man has made In civiliza-
ton. Rev. NJ. ]. Savage in Peter

Reputatlon.

The value of reputation Is almost
cynically set forth by the case Of a
young literary man whose rejected
story came back to him from great
publishing house with few words
of praise qualified by the declaration
that it showed traces of the amateur.
Encouraged by this he set to work
and produced a novel. This he sent
to the same house, and 1t was ac-
cepted. 1t succeeded, and the young
author soon afterward sold to the
same publisher the rejected story at
double the price he had originally
asked. New York Sun.

Khircese Prefer the Moslem Faith.

Our Odessa correspondent says that
the Russian orthodox missionaries
have SO failed in their proselytizing
efforts among the Khirgese that the
missions will probably be shortly
withdrawn. Nearly the whole of the
steppe tribes, generally described az
''heathens," are now adopting, al
most zen masse," the Mohammedan
faith, which is spread among them
chiefly by Tartar teachers. The Mo-
hammedan Tartars have always en-
joyed the right of free proselytisH

Broke the Record.

Frank p. Gadson Of the BaZar
introduced a pleasant custom sew
eral years ago Of making a dis
play of their new fall and winter
goods. The annual exhibit took
place Tuesday and Wednesday
and the attendance of sight-seers
and purchasers exceeded that of
any previous opening and the ex-
preston of surprise and pleasure
at the display in quality, quantity
and prices was general. The at
tendance broke all previous rec :
ords and the opening was a pro-
nOunced success, extending and
charging the impression in the
mind of the public that the Be-
Zar's stock of goods is second to
none in the city, while the conven-
ing efficacy of its prices, stand
prominently in the van.

To KlOndike by Proxy.

Ocala's genuine promoter, C..
II. Campbell, looked SO pleased
yesterday that he was asked the
reason and replied that he pro-
posed to work the Yukon country
by proxy. Mr.. Campbell has an
old time friend in Missouri, who,
through a returned Missouri
bosom friend Klondiker, aurifer-
Gus in gold nuggets, insists that
his friend shall return with him
to the Yukon country next spring
and he shall have lay out for a
fortune. Mr.. Campbell's friend
accepts the offer providing Mr..
Campbell will take care Of his
family during his absence. For
SO doing Mr.. Campbell is to have
one-half of the fortune his friend
expects to endow himself with.
Mr.. G.. has accepted the PROPOSE
tion. Who knows but that our
genuine promoter may yet be-
come a millionaire. All of which
we hope will come true.

Make the Most Of Yourself

1t is the duty Of every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is
sure to find some place where he
can be useful to himself and to
others. But he cannot reach his
highest usefulness without good
health and he cannot have good
health without pure blood. The
blood circulates to every organ
and tissue and when it is pure,
rich and healthy it carries health
to the entire system, but if it is
impure it scatters disease where
ever it flows. Hood's Sasaparilla
is the one true blood purifier. 1t
cures salt rheum, scrofula, ca
tarrh, dyspepsia and rhematism
because these diseases have their
origin in the blood.
