WILLIAM CHOSE THE TEXT
From Which His Birthday Sermon
Was Preached

Berlin, Jan. 2s.-The peculiar opposite
ness Of the text of the special sermon on
Emperor Williams birthday. namely BE
still. and know that I am God. Will be
exalted among the heather" has at
tracted a great deal OF attention and II is
now explained that the emperor himself
selected il. 1t is suggested that the add
ing Of the word Chinese" would make
the passage perfect.
An article recently in the Hamburger
Nachrichten on the OCCASION OF the en-
peror's birthday. bears Enthusiastically the
ear marks of Friedrichsrube and ex-
presses Prince Bismarcks views. IL says:
1.-THE monarch has stepped into the
foreground of public life far more than
his ancestors did. The policy Of the en-
pire and OF Prussia bears marks of i'm
perial origin and the strong individual
ity of the sovereign is ever-perceptible in
the most different speeches He not only
governs. but rules. and is in reality the
actual leader OF the nation and disposer
of the destinies Of Germany. II Germany
is now animated by a higher spirit than
short time ago. il the confidence OF the
state government visibly increases. if the
spirit OF enterprise is impulsed. we at
tribute it mainly TO the fact that the en-
| peror has known how to find ways where
by desired ends are attainable."
The article concludes:
The gloomy visions which formerly
troubled US on the emperor's birthday
have begun to disappear. and we venture
| to hope that the future will not bring us
| fresh disillusions such as 10 again make

from securing the squirrels alone and
unaidsd.
1t cannot be called unsportsmanlike
the hunter does not make a hog Of
himself and go In for big strings rather
than sport; but it is taking. a somewhat
unfair advantage of the animal. 1t Is
not much of trick to kill a squirrel
with shotgun, and the pleasure from
begging one that way can not equal
that which comes from shooting one
with a rifle.
The squirrel makes a dainty dish,
good enough to tempt any epicure, IL
properly prepared; but the variety Of
ways in which they may be served is
not large. They are best fpicaseed.
Squirrels are always to be found
where there are great oak, chestnut or
hickory trees and where nuts are plen-
ttful. Last year there was splendid
sport near Worcester, and this yea
hunters may be sure to find them 2
Northboro, Charlton, Oakdale

particularly abundant about Hub
bardston, Princeton, Wiuchendon,
Rindge other points in Massachusetts,

over the Ioitchburg or Boston and

Many local sportmen are looking for
ward to bagging good numbers both in

tiful in the immediate vicinity of Wor-
cester, particularly near Holden reser-
voir, and they will be this year II nuts

Razor Blade.
(From the Philadelphia Record.)
The invention OF the modern high

jectiles that are the finest product Of
ingenuity and improved '-uachinery,

artisans. Instead of cast iron globes
that could be turned out by any foun-

Of the grades of steel, tempered with
as much care as a razor blade, and
ground and polished with as much ex>

HOW FISH BREATHE.
(From Parsons weekly


Fish do not breathe air, but the life
supporting constituent of air-oxygen
gas-Which is soluble in water to the
extent Of volumes in 100 at ordinary
temperatures, and 4 in 100 at freezine
point.
The water containing the dissolved
oxygen is made to pass over the gilIs.
where 1t is separated from the blood
only by very thin membrane, through
which the gas is able to pass.
Fish in ice-bound rivers have to de-
pend entirely upon this store of oxv-
gen for their respiration, and if If he
comes exhausted they are suffocated
just as we should be If deprived of oxy.
gen.
1t rarely happens. however, that any
considerable area of water is entirely
covered with ice, especially in the cases
Of rivers. Holes and cracks are almost
sure to occur here and there, by which
the oxygen of the air can reach the
water and become dissolved in II Dur
ing a long frost fish may always be
found congregated beneath air holes in
large numbers. They are there to
breathe.

CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
The Sensitive Plate Reveals More Than
the Eye Can See.
(From Sd. Nicholaal

(From st. Nicholas.)
Almost the first use in science to which
the new discovery was put was the photo
sraphine Of the moon, the first recorded
resented TO the New York Lyceurn OF
iatural History. His son, Henry grew
fond Of astronomical photography that
a leaving college he went to Ireland to
| ae the great rejecting telescope of Lord
oSse. After seeing 1t he determined to
cake one like It. The reputation of the
Yankee boy-that he can make not only
the thing he undertakes, but also the ma
chine that makes twas proved to be
deserved by Henry Draper, for he made
and he mounted the first American re-
1900 photographs of the heavens, and the
instrument is still in use in Harvard OBJ
servatory.
The telescope not only reveals more than
sitive film surpasses the power Of the eve
when aided by the telescope, for the cam
era records on the film objects which the
eye cannot see through the greatest mag
nlfying lenses. No matter how far away
or now dimly 1t shines, the light of the
faintest star in time impregses the film.
and thus that which is invisible to the
eye becomes visible on the plate.
In celestial photography the camera is
Kept moving during the taking of the pic
ture. The exposure sometimes lasts sew
erai hours, and If the camera were sta
uonary the. motion of the earth would
soon carry the subject out of line with the
telescope The camera, therefore IS At
tached to the tube of the telescope and
the object to be photographed is brought
INTO the lens at the intersection Of two
cross wires, Then by system of clock
work the telescope moves So thar the
subject occupies the same position on the
plate during the exposure. In the picture
on the Swift comet may be seen small.
Whlte lines. These are the marks or
trails of the stars. The telescope was adj
lusted to the speed Of the comet, and as it
travelled much faster than the stars the
streaks instead of as points of light.
1t Is another curious feature OF celestial
photography that plate may be exposed
several nights on the same subject. L have
seen star cluster and nebulae nictnras
which were exposed, the former on cNo
ana the latter on four successive eve
nlngs. The picture showing the nebuiae
required a total exposure of thirteen
hours and forty-four minutes.

SMOKING OUT AN OWL.
tFrom the Portland oregonian


City Treasurer Hacheney is one az
those old-fashioned men who get IN
first in the morning, build fires and
make some coffee for the refreshment
of himself and others, as they turn
out. Monday evening he laid the fire
in the kitchen stove, as usual, before
going to bed. Yesterday morning,
when he opened the stove door to apply
match to the kindling, he was start
led by vicious swapping and the
sight of some hideous, sooty looking
goblin, with huge eyes and ears, which
caused him to jump halfway across
the kitchen and imagine the devil or
one Of his imps had taken possession
of the stove. On recovering his euua-
ninity, he made an investigation and
found that a gray owl had made its
way down the chimney. through the
stovepipe and draught, into the stove.
Mr.. Hacheney could hardly believe his
senses, and at first imagined that some
one had been playing a belated April
fool trick on him. but the disclaimers
Of all the family and the fact that the
OWL was literally covered with SCOT
and ashes, convinced him that the bird
had come down the chimney.
