Though the determination of the places of the fixed stars in the northern hemisphere has engaged the attention of many obServatories during the whole of this century and our knowledge of tho places of the northern stars would therefore presumably be nearly perfect, 1t is a fact that Dr Gould work upon the southern skies practically capitalized OUT knowledge of the two celestial hem> ispheres, says Professor T. J. J. See in The Atlantic. Such an achievement is a veritable monument to the American nation and has added new luster to the American name Had the American people never contributed anything be- yond the labors of Gould to the world 'e knowledge of astronomy this magnifi- cent contribution alone would entitle the nation to an honorable place i'll the eyes of posterity
 And yet how little is the work of Gould known to even tho best circle of American readersl So great was his de- yotion to the cause of pure science and so oblivious was he of contemporary fame that none but professional men of science are able to appreciate his ineom- parable services to the sublimest of the sciences. It is certain that he has gain ed place among the greatest astrono. mers of any age or country and that the estimate now placed on his work will only increase with tho flight of centuries.

 "What Happened to Jones".

The coming engagement of Harry Corson Clarke and his company of merrymakers Is arousing the utmost enthusiasm amongst our betterclass of people and the engagement of this talented comedian at the opera house next Wednesday night, No- vember 3, bids fair to be the most successful, from botb an artistic and financial standpoint. of any in thIA city in years. He has certainly shown great foresight and executive ability in securing the reigning New York success for the western territory, for in What Happened to Jones" he has, what is said to be, the best and cleanest comedy writ ten in years and in addition to that it fits him like the proverbial glove. As "Jones," who is equally at home selling hymn books or playing cards, he is excruciatingly funny, and the many complications in which he finds himself are so cleverly handled that he has won the admiration of both the press and the public.

 Booth had keen sense of humor, and among his intimates he was anything but the sad and gloomy man whom the outside world associated always with the character of the melancholy Dane of the stage. His published letters show how bright and cheerful he was usually in his familiar correspondence, and the following rhyming epistle is worth printing here as an example of his not infrequent efforts in that peculiar line.

RATES OF TRAVELLING.-lt is
well known that the speed OF traV-
ellIng has increased amazingly
since 1903, and it is matter for con-
lecture whether it is possible to in
crease in the same degree by 1898.
A French statistician has Just
drawn up an interesting document
showing at various eriods in what
time certain frontier towns could
be reached from Paris. The years
are, 1850. I782, 1894, 1854 and
1907. In 1850 il took five days to
90 from Paris to Calais. One hun"
dred and thirty-two years later, in
r78a. the duration OF the journey
had been reduced to 90 hours. In
r8sA il had fallen to 2S hours, and
in I8sAto hours and 40 minutes.
TODAY one Of the best expresses
takes 4 hours AZ minutes. The
Journey to Strasbourg took sr8
hours in 1850, IoS hours in 1889,
10 hours 40 minutes in 1854, and
TODAY A matter of hours 20 min
utes. The difference tor Marseilles
is still more phenomenal. From
* DAYS in 1850, the duration OF the
Journey was reduced to SO hours in
1874. and today it takes 10 u hours.
The distance from Paris to Bay
onne two centuries ago took 3SS
hours; today it occupies II hours
II minutes. Brest can be reached
in "a hours 81 minutes, while in
1850 it took 27o hours. Finally,
for Havre, 81 hours was considered
quick travelling IN 1850. 1t took
Ts hours in 1888, and II hours in
I834. Today it is a matter OF 8
hours 10 minutes. In this connec-
tion it is interesting to read a re-
Gently published anecdote OF the
meeting Of Mr.. Gladstone and Mr..
Ruskin, in which amusement for
the listeners was found in the alb
solute contrast between them az
every point on which conversation
could conceivably turn. AT one

Here. indeed, it was thought, was

stone unfortunately dropped the
remark tnat "Sir Walter had made
Scotland" On Mr.. Ruskin's in
ouirv as tc the meaning OF the
phrase, Mr.. Gladstone began tell
inc of the amazing contrast be-
tween the means OF communication
in scotland before Sir Walter
wrote compared with the present
day, mentioning the number ol
coaches that were now conveying
the masses OF happy trippers up
and down the TTossachs. Mr..
Ruskin's face had been deepening
with horror, and at last he could

There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness IS caused by an inhamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when II is closed
entirely deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and

hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

COCKFIGHTS IN SPAIN.
fighting is believed to be the ma
tional diversion Of Spain, but cock
fighting divides the interest with it.
In Madrid people subscribe annu-
ally to the cockights, as they do
in New York to the opera season.
These chaste affairs take place in
Madrid every Wednesday and Sat-
urday afternoon almost all the year
round, with due advertisement and
entire publicity.
A mixed crowd patronizes them
--toreros and grandees, youths and
staid men of business. The Circo
de Gales or cockpit club, il quite
close to the Mediodia station. The
entrance fee is one peseta, equal in
its present depreciation to 10 cents.
The building is octagonal and
about IS yards IN diameter. 1t
looks like miniature circus arena
inside. In the middle stands the
circular platform where the birds
fight. II is raised about three feet
from the nam floor, is six feet in
diameter and is covered with a
mating OF thick rope woven firmly
in circular rings. This is enclosed
in a broad meshed white netting
fastened to a rail about a ward high
which runs round the pit"
In this netting are two small
doors opposite each other. A
triple row of seats surrounds the
theatre of action Usually about
200 people are present. The birds
are generally oi English game
breeds. They weigh seven pounds
on the average. After beng put
on the scales the odds on either
side are chalked up on the black
board. The handlers squeeze
lemon juice on the birds spurs to
make the wounds smart more and
so increase the 6erceness.o the
conflict. The feathers are plucked
from the necks OF the combatants,
giving the cocks an uncanny ap-
pearance. Metal spurs are seldom
used, but the wounds are neverthe-
less hideous.

MODERN BULLET WOUNDS. The
study of the effects OF the modern
bullet wound has brought to light
some interesting facts bearing on
the relations more particularly OF
calibre to velocity Of transit, in
which the destructive tendency OF
the latter is markedly shown Both
the Spanish and the American
are supplied with rifles Of practi-
cally the same callbre, and the
comparison of the results can be
estimated only in connection with
the rifle wounds made during our
Civil war by the Mimic ball. In
the small bore arms the initial
velocity is in definite degree pro-
portionate TO the shortness OF
range, although not much essen
tial difference is noted in results
within a distance OF 500 yards.
Obviously the direct penetrating
power OF these missiles is greatly
increased, they scar sely ever lodg-
ing but almost invariably passing
through the body. The wound OF
entrance, in accordance with the
ordinary rule, is small and cleanly
cut, that of exit being large and
ragged. The latter condition is
shown in very striking degree as
to size and laceration on the side
OF the damaging effects OF the small
bullet. The exits OF the modern
missiles are surprisingly large, due
doubtless to the degree OF resist
ance to the velocity. Consequently
when bone is struck the commin-
ution and inceration are CORE
spondinglY extensive and destruc-
tive. In brain wounds the skull is
for similar reasons extensively
shattered, the brain substance in
the track being reduced to pulp
by the expansive force of transit.
Judging from these facts, as Veri-
fed on the field Of Guantanamo by
Assistant Surgeon Van Duser, u.
S. NJ, the only comparative safety
was guaranteed by simple flesh
wounds in which no consi derable
extent of tissue was involved.
Fortunately there has been oppor-
tunitl' fer studying in our own sail
ors the wounds Of larger dimen-
sions caused bY shells and flying
solinters OF wood and steel, but

WALKER, Mimi, Oct. 6.-This has
been a day of rumors, the first being
that Marshal O'Connor had been cap.

Bear island pillagers, and tho second
that the wild, turbulent reds of the
island had secured ammunition and
would resist both the marshal's posse
and the United States regulars to the

Thre was nothing in either of these
reports Marshal C'Connor went over
to Bear island and had talk with the
Indians, but there was not SO much as

slightest degree In fact, it is stated
that his parley was satisfactory to the
Indians, and that they promised to

members of the tribe wanted.
