THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

vastness of Some of the Greater Stars Of
the Pleiades.
II our sun were removed to the
Pleiades it would hardly be visible in
an opera glass with which nearly 100
stars can be seen in the cluster. Sixty
or seventy Pleiades surpass our sun in
brilliancy, Alcyon being 1000 times
more brilliant, Electra 500 times and
Maia nearly 400, says Longman's Maga-
zine. Sirius itself takes q subordinate
rank when compared with the five
most brilliant members of a group the
real magnifcance of which we can
thus in some degree apprehend. It we
seek to know the dimensions, not OF
the individual stars, but Of the cluster
itself, we. are met with many diff
culties, but, on the assumption that it
is approximately spherical in shape,
we can calculate its diameter to be
over 40, ,OOO, ,OOO, 900 miles If we think of
the dimensions of our solar system by
themselves or in relation to terrestrial
matter they appear stupendously enor-
nous. Neptune, the most distant
known member, has an orbit over s.
600, ,OOO, 900 miles across, but the solar
system is to the Pleiades but q Lilipu-
tian to a Brobdingnagian-is but a
microbe to q mountain-for sphere
the size Of the solar system would, II
it were spherical and its diameter that
of the orbit of Neptune, be relatively
80 minute that 1t could be contained
more than 400, 900, 600, 900 times in a
sphere the size of the Pleiades; in
other words, the limits of the Pleiades
could contain $50 solar systems as
many times over as there are miles be-
tween Neptune and the sun. 1t must
not be forgotten that though there are
$500 stars in the cluster, yet with such
dimensions. for the entire group vast
distances must separate the stars from
one another. In fact, 2,o0O spheres,
each with diameter OF 1900, ,O00, ,O0O
miles, could be contained in the limits
assigned to the group, and assuming
equal distribution Of the stars in the
group, each would be at the center OF
sphere 1900, O0O, 600 miles across. and
therefore light journey OF 1877 days
from its nearest neighbor.

ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM.

Country Life May He Made Less Laborious
by New Agency.
Part Of the growing difficulties oc-
casioned by the desertion of the coun-
try and the crowding of the cities will
be remedied, perhaps, by six years
hence-in that wonderful year 1900,
which electricians set rs a mile post OF
human progress-by the crowning OF
steam's rival, says the New York Press.
Machinery is rapidly taking the dead
ening drudgery out of farm work when
conducted scientifically and on large
scale, and is causing it to attract the
attention of city people who long for
the healthful fields Only the bodily
discomforts of farm work have pre-
vented an exodus from the city to the
country. Already electricity is turn
ing it's attention to the long neglected
farm work, and has discovered prohta-
BILE results to be had by subjecting
crops to currents of electricity. 1t is
beginning to simplify the ponderous
farm machinery, and as soon as the
storage battery has received its finish
ing touches and can be applied to light
ening the farmers toll and increasing
his profits the farmer will be looked
upon with envy by the prisoners OF
city streets and counting house walls.
Those particular effects OF electricity
upon farm machinery and farm life
are, however. visible chiefly in the inn
agination at present, and are not at all
likely to be realized in six years; but
one great change~anay be looked for in
this direction in the immediate future,
and that is the improvement OF the
farmers condition by means of good
roads and the rapid transit which
electricity is almost ready to bring.
thus greatly enlarging his market and
bringing him higher prices for fresher
products, and also bringing him closer
to the life and pleasures and stinu.
lating effect of the city. There is to
be wonderful change in farm life in
the more thickly settled parts OF the
country in very few years, and rapid
transit will be largely responsible Ser
it. The cheap transmission of electrical
power must bring soon many changes
that will be felt in the city household,
and perhaps the chief of them will be
the abolition of the cook stove as it is
known at present. The small electric
heater has already begun to take its
place, and it is almost certain that even
in six years coal will be banished from
a majority of the kitchens in cities ad.
jacent to water power from which
electricity is generated. When heat Is
wanted for cooking purposes it will be
had at a moments notice by the press.

Il Was Fixed Up Aftsr the. fa11aasA q

The found spectaole" tricki iaa rrtt-
ty old one. but is worked every day a
the year, says the New York Herald-
was talking with an egg and butter
merchant . short time, ago when .
tough-looking Citizen 3nmped so& ofa
passing truck and rushed In with n
pair Of gold spectaoles, or Whist ap-
peared to be, in his hand, and glibly
said:
..Genta. here's q pair At spsctaoles
I've picked up-use glasses9 What'h
you give me fur 'em? Can have 'em
cheap. Idon't use speca, and I'm In IN
awful hurry-quickr'
'What. do you ask for them" In
quired bystander, looking At the pair.
'sThey look like gold, man"
ssMaybe they are" says the man,
hastily snatching them away, az II he
had suddenly conceived the idea
Anyhow" says he, ''they ought to be
worth a dollar and haif-IU give 'em
to you for ffty cents, say"
He passed them to me. I saw 1t
once they were the commonest kind OF
ordinary glass In q brass frame.
"They are worth just one dollar .
dozen," said I.
And the man looked daggers at me,
but sneaked out without word. This
is an old trick, played usually IN .
crowded street.
THAT'S nothing" said the egg and
butter man, laughing, ITO the trick
played on me some time ago. Two
men stopped in front of my store with
a light delivery wagon, and one OF the
men rushed in and called me by name.
asked me how business was, and 50 on
81 didn't recognize the man. and
looking out of the window to get some
clew to him from the wagon, just
caught glimpse of the latter being
slowly driven up street. Still l sup
posed it was some fellow had had
business dealings with.
"sLook here says he, I've got .
couple OF fine cheeses in my wagon
two more than our list calls for deliv-
cry. Now, don't say anything, but you
can get them dog cheap
ssI told him didn't do that kind OF
business. Dut ne says All IA8AV
your neighbors will And / knew
they w.uld, too, and says: Hold on
And he came back. Bring 'em in.'
says I, and I'll see.' He brought 'em
in.
''They looked all right and weighed
all right, and ought to have been worth
eight dollars each. I took one and
gave him four dollars Without my
asking it, he had thrust in his knife
and twisted it around and brought out
the center of the cheese, and it was
sound and good.
ssBut the man was ia such hurry,
and the more thought Of it the more
singular it looked. And i guess my
conscience pricked me a'little. for'1 be-
gan to think it was the same as buy
ing stolen goods. Still, l wanted q
good cheese.
81 sent out for tester and thrust it
through the cheese and brought out
well, the worst stuff you ever saw! It
wasn't worth anythingi Then l saw
that this thing had been plugged and
the center filed with good cheese 80
nicely you couldn't see it unless you
were looking for it. twas the regular

MADE THE BURGLAR WORK.

A NIGHT Wst~hrnan rerrorsxed the MArAa-
der with IN Unloaded Revolver.
A very large and hopeful burglar,
with gunny sack in which to carry
away his plumber, pried of the scuttle
cap Of cellar belonging to the Menlo
Park Manufacturing company the other
night and dropped lightly down into
the vault beneath, says the New York
Herald. When his eyes became accas-
toned to the gloom he found maa
who had heard him coming standing in
a heroic attitude with revolver pushed
in his face.
The one was the night watchman
and engineer Of the building "Up
with your hands, I" said he, and up the
burglars hands went as if they had
been trained TO the business and had
done nothing else al their lives.
The position was pleasant one for
the night watchman. ALI he had to do
was 10 keep his pistol in position and
wait till morning, when fifty workmen
would rush in, bind the prisoner and es-
cort him in triumph to the nearest jail
But who was to look after the fires?
This thought occurred to him after
about an hour had passed, and the bur
glars hands had grown white through
holding them up too long and letting
the blood get emptied out.
"See here" said the engineer, "if
turn my back on you to attend to the
furnaces you'll pick up bit OF coal on
something and hit me . bi6 on the
head, steal everything in the house And
then go home to your family
The burglar said nothing, but looked
q lot.
"Then," went on the engineer ST
don't attend to the furnaces the place'll
blow up, or the steamu go down, and
then theren be all sorts of things ts
pay"
Better let me go home to me poor
mudder," the burglar suggested, look
ing hopefully up to the scuttle cap.
That seemed the only way out of it.
The engineer thought and thought,
keeping the revolver cooked the while.
Suddenly he burst out with:
Say! Did you ever fire furnaceT
"Naw," quoth the burglar. "Lem.
me go home to me mudder."
swell, get move on you, you son o4
q pirate. Take that shovel and put the
coal in. Now turn the fires. Don't yoa
know how to turn fires? Well, you've
got five hours to learn. Hurry up, darn
you, or there's bullet waiting for yoa
here if you don't"
At the point of the revolver the en-
gineer kept the burglar working all
night. When he wasn't busy at the
coal he kept him polishing up the brass
work, and after he had finished the
brasswork he made him swab the floor
and empty out ashes. The burglar ad-
mitted that he hadn't done any work
for five years. When the workmen
came in the morning and took him of
to the police station he almost tainted
from exhaustion.
The engineer said to his wife whes
he went home: Lucky thing all
round, isn't it, that that blamed bur-
glar didn't notice my pistol wasA''
loaded"
