BOUNDARIES OF THE UNIVERSE

Professor Newcomb says that evidence
is accommodating which points TO a prob
ability of our actually being able TO guess
at boundaries of the universe through
our powerful modern telescopes. OF this
the general form is known-it has the
shape of an enormous disk, the solar sys-
TEN being not far from the center, 1t
may be said that this disk, so incon-
ceivably huge, has a diameter four or
five times its thickness. Tne length of
the diameter cannot be spoken of with
any great accuracy, however. because the
precise distance of many of the stars is
not known. Many of the stars brought
into view by the powerful glasses do not
look small because they are farther away
but on account of their inferior size. 1t
is thought that there are no more be-
yond. The professor predicts that fifty
years hence a great deal more will be
known on this subject than is known at
present. With the naked eye about 5000
stars can be seen, but with the most
powerful telescope about 500OO,O0O are Wis"
ible, and there may be millions more
there observed.-Npw IDEAS.

the Royal George were beaten down by
no great storms. IT was as though the
finger of Providence had pointed at
those three ships and at nothing else.
Not quite three years after the Fury
dice caDsized, there was d boat race
on the Thames up in Canada. The day
was Queen Victoria's birthday, May
"a, 1881. The day was clear, it was a
holiday, and the race was exciting; so
to- steamboats, accompanying the
racers We're crowded. The Victoria.
had on her decks every soul she could
carry: but everybody behaved well, and
there was no trouble and no danger
until an exciting part of a race caused
the crowd to rush to one side OF the
boat. Then she capsized. She had 700
persons on board, and more than 300
died. The suddenness of this disaster
was appalling. A traveller driving in
q carriage saw the crowded Victoria
standing after the racing boats, the
road ran behind low hill, cutting off
all view of the river for a hundred
yards or so. When the driver had
passed the bluff and again saw the
river the Victoria had capslzed.
There are countless other instances
of such strange providential happen
ings; they all go to show that man is
as safe anywhere as he is anywhere
else, and that when his time is up he
must go.

Queer Notion OF "A Little Boy and a
Little Girl Who Cot Aboard "a Train
and Wanted to Go to Relatives in
Jersey--No Trace Yet OF tho Miss
ing Son OF George Gardner.

A somewhat peculiar case of intended
elopement was nipped in the bud yes
terday, and the runaway pair returned
to their parents. The chldren-for
such they are-are aged five and four
years respectively. Both are the chill
dren of prominent men who are near
neighbors. The little girl went to the
boys house and asked the little fell
lows parents if the boy could go with
her. Upon being answered in the af-
firmative, and without saying a word
in explanation of their intentions, the
couple went to the depot and boarded
a Delaware and Hudson train going
north. Before the train started the
conductor asked the little girl where
she was going and she said to her
uncle in New Jersey. He told her that
the train was going to Carbondale, and
asked her for her ticket. She said she
had not got her ticket yet, but had
money to pay her fare. A young man
who was at the depot and who noticed
the children get on the train, suspect
ing that something was wrong, got on
just as the train started and told the
conductor of his suspicious. The train
was stopped and the children ques-
toned by the conductor. with the result
that they We're put off and taken by
the young man to their parents.
George Curdner, the father Of the
missing boy whose disappearance was
recently mentioned was in the borough
yesterday. In reply to inquiries he
stated that he had given up the task
of dragging Scull pond until the ice
breaks up. The only evidence he had
so far received to substantiate his be-
lief that his boy was drowned in the
pond is the recovery of some portions
Of clothing. While he was unable to
identify these, he has reason to believe
they We're similar to the clothing worn
by his boy. He viii proceed with his
search in the pond as soon as the
weather permits.
