From the New York Sun: From
measurements of the neal parallaxes
of the stars the Beta, Gamma, Epsilon
and Zeta, in the Great Bear-ive of the
even stars which form the Great DIP
per- astronomers now obtain values
so small as to indicate that the system
formed by these stars Is separated
from the earth by such a distance that
it is no random assertion to say that
200 years must be required by the light
to reach us. The distance of Beta and
Zeta is found to be at least 4,000, 900
times greater than that which separ-
ates the earth from the sun, and from
calculations made by Mr.. Hotter the
star Epsilon of this group is calculated
to be forty times brighter than Sirius.
A few years age Professor Pickering OF
the Harvard college observatory de-
duced from spectroscopic observations
of the star Eta Ursae Majoris-Mizar,
the middle star in the handle of the
Dipper-that its distance is about $50
light years, an estimate with which
these later determinations of the dis
lance of other Dipper stars accord fair
ly well.

Dickens PILGRIMAGE.

One of the latest ideas in London is
a Dickens pilgrimage. An admirer of
the novelist intends personally conduct
ing a party of all who care to join him
in a perambulating pilgrimage to the
spots in London hallowed by their as
ISOLATION with the writer. The pro-
gramme makes a start from Devon
shire terrace (where Dickens lived
from 1899 to 1866, and passing Harley
street, Wigmore street, Wimpole street,
Welbeck street, and Cover street. ar
rives at Tavistock square. Thence the
route continues to Great Ormand
street, Kingsgate street, Lincoln inn
fields. and Furnival inn. Several OF
the places lived in or referred to by
Dickens will be viewed-some for the
last time before demolition.

loose smut Of oats has not proved an
efficient preventive Of the loose smut
Of wheat, hence 1t has not been en-
ployed by the station to any extent.
A recent bulletin Gu. 8. Department Of
Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin No. 75),
by Swingle, however, prescribes a
method of hot water treatment for the
loose smut of wheat which, it is
claimed, has proved efficient. This
ough trial at the station this coming
season, is as follows: 1.-THE seed, en-
closed in coarse gunny sacks or open
baskets, is soaked four hours in cold
water. 1t is then removed and al
lowed to stand in the wet sacks about
four hours. The enclosed seed is then
dipped in a vessel containing water at
ITO and 120 degrees Fab, and after a
moment it is lifted, allowed to drain
a little and then dipped again. This
operation should be repeated several
times. The object Of this preparatory
treatment is to bring each seed in con-
tact with the warm water, and the
WAOlC tllAC COAouLuCu SAOuLu uOI CA
coed a minute. The sacks Of seed
should then be plunged in water at 1872
degrees Fab, for five minutes, care
being exercised in maintaining this
temperature within a degree or two
throughout the operation, as we'll as
to keep the seed constantly stirred.
To maintain the temperature it is
necessary to have a third vessel con-
tanning boiling water, by the addition
of which to vessel No. 2 a uniform
temperature may be maintained. The
thermometer used should be an accu.
rate one. 1t has been found that quite
a percentage Of the seed Is killed by
this treatment, hence it is recon-
mended that one-half more seed bt
used per acre in planting. William

Rubber Collars for policemen.

The police board has given the men
on the force the privilege of wearing
rubber collars, as well as linen or Gel
luloid collars. They must be of the
regulation style. About 125 of the
collars have been received at the CEN
trail police station for men in the dis
trict. Nearly all on.the force will give
the collars a trial. and have ordered
one or two at a cost of % cents each.
An effort was made to have the board
adopt the rubber collars as the only
kind to be worn by the men on the
force. The board refused to do this.
The collars are very stiff, and similar

The Best Music.

What do you consider the finest
piece of music you ever heard?" a pro-
fessional musician was asked.
WELL" he replied, after some re-
Fiction, altogether the most thrilling,
soul-satisfying melody l ever listened
to was the yowling of a cat"
you are Joking"
Il never was more in earnest in my
life. l will tell you about it. For sew
eral years l resided in a small town.
l was an unmarried man, and my lodg-
ings were on the top floor of a tall
wooden building used as a store and
%postoffice. The only means of access
to my room was a narrow, winding
stairway, and up there l pursued my
studies, sometimes until very late at
night. On one occasion I had sat up
until after midnight and went to bed
very tired.
About l o'clock 1 was aroused by
the appalling cry of ''Fire!' 1t was re-
peated two or. three times. There was
no fire department in our little town.
Every man was his own fireman. In
imagination 1 had often dwelt upon
the horrible probability of a conflagra-
tons breaking out in that store build
ing, and the slender chance I should
have of escaping if it took place at
night.
81 was wide awake in an instant, and
nearly paralyzed with fright. I could
see no flame, but l seemed to smell
smoke. Grasping my clothes and hur-
riedly putting them on as I ran, ]
fastened to the stairway. l heard the
terrible cry repeated, apparently on
the roof, and l paused a moment at the
top step.
1T was repeated again, and this
time l heard it distinctly. 1t was not
'Fire!'
cit was Me-a-ow! me-a-ow!
Don't talk to me of the concord Of
| sweet sounds" he continued. "The
yowling of that cat, as it came distinct
ly to my ears, assuring me that my
| fears were groundless, and that l wa:
in no immediate danger of being
burned alive, was the sweetest music
| ever heard. 1 listened to it hank
fully for half an hour"
