The Egyptian AfterClow.

We all know what 'Egyptian dark
ness" is, and that in most tropical coun-
tries sudden darkness after shutdown is
one of the pccuiiarities. In Egypt at
certain seasons of the year there is Il
marked exception to this sudden draw
ing of the curtains of the skies. The
sun goes down and darkness comes on
very suddenly and continues for Il
space of 20 minutes or half an hour.
Then, all of a sudden. the hills and sands
take on a CHASTITY paleness and in an
other moment everything begins to
brighten, and it appears that the sun
is about to rise out of the west. These
tints of golden, purple, orange and lilac
attain their maximum degree of bright
ness in about ten minutes after they
begin, and in 90 minutes everything has
faded into darkness and you are only
conscious of the fact that you have Just
witnessed the phenomenon known as
the "Egyptian aftergow."

considerably taller than the aver

empress of Japan presents to the gaze
all those attributes which her people
hold to be most expressive of patrician
beauty writes Mrs. Robert =. Porter

slight figure, straight in outline, she has
the delicate waist. sloping shoulders,
slender neck and long, pale face to BE-
seen only among the nobility of Japan.
Her features, especially the nose, are
more decided than one is accustomed
TO find. She has the long eyes and
brows and the Jet black hair. growing
in that arch upon the forehead. which.
suggestive of the beloved Mount Fugi-
yama, is considered a browning beauty
in Dai-Nippon. The empress has also
the exquisite hands of the japanese
gentlewoman, and her tiny feet lose
nothing in beauty by being incased in
sharply-pointed European shoes. Her
ma iesty wore,'' continues Mrs. Porter

THE RUNAWAY STAR.
Travelling Through Space at the Rate OF
Two Hundred Miles a Second.

Two miles a second
The greatest velocity that has been
recognized among the stars is found in
the motion of Il star known as 1880
Groombridge, or the runaway star, a.;
it is sometimes called, which is believed
TO be rushing through space at the rat e
of 200 miles per second. This star ap-
pears to be moving in perfectly
straight line through the sky, and it
may be visiting our star system for
the first time, but whence it comes or
whittier it is going no one can tell and
il is a great enigma to the astronomers.
Its wonderful velocity cannot be eN-
planned. as it is far greater than could
be produced by the influence of all
known orbs in the universe, and, on
the other hand, the combined attrac-
ton of all the other stars cannot stop
this wanderer in its solitary flight
through space, until it has rushed on
to the remoter distances, beyond which
the largest telescopes have never pene-
trated.
1t has been mathematically demon
strated that a body approaching the
center of our system from an infinite
distance cannot move with Il greater
velocity than % miles Il second. if in
fuenced by the attraction of the masses
in our universe alone. but here we have
been considering Il star moving with
eight times that velocity and still, not
understanding the fact that it has the
greatest motion known among the
stars, it would require 1S5, 900 years for
this remarkable star to complete an en-
tire circuit around the heavens.-Chi-

and is now 60 years of age. About
six weeks ago the local physicians de

They found that a portion of his skull
had been forced into contact with the

DUCK SHOOTING MADE EASY.
How a millionaire Bags the Game With
out Firing His Gun.

There is a man in this city who has
the wealth of Il millionaire and the in
stincts of sporting man. Being bic
to crafty the instincts, he had bought Il
patch of river land in the neighborhood
of duck colony, and there established
| an exclusive shooting ground.
Now, everybody does not know this.
People generally believe that Mr.. Mil
lionaire is as mighty Il hunter as Mr..
Nimrod of Biblical fame.
But here is the secret of this fortll-
nate sport, as related by an eye-wit-
ness. An old French hunter is en-
ployed on the island, and what Pere
Pirault doesn't know about duck shoot
ing isn't worth knowing. He has an
unerring eye and n dilapidate1 old gun
that will bring down more birds at IA
shot than the best shotgun in the hands
Of sportsman, for that gun of Pere's
never missed bird in its career. The
usual form of dialogue between Mr.. Mil
lionaire and his hunter is here repro
duced:
Deere eez one duck, Meester NJ
II don't see it, Pere."
Mon? You no zee dat duck? Dat
is SO. Hit make not vary plain. My
sef, 1 show hit, Meester NJ" and Pere
gets behind the elegant new shotgun
and the amateur sportsman.
Bang, bang. Only one gun goes off,
but that is Pere's, and more than one
duck falls inert.
You shoot. dem duck, Meester M
says Pere, innocently. Hit was a
great shoot-pour vous."
The sarcasm Of foreign tongue is lost
on Mr.. Millionaire. Pere loads up and
gives his old gun her head again, and
more birds are slaughtered. And it is
confidently believed that Mr.. Ms new
shotgun has never been fired within the
memory of man.-Chicago Times-Her-
