CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
The Manner fnWhich Star Negatives
Are Taken.
(From st. Nicholas. }

The telescope not only reveals more
than can be seen by the eye alone, but
the sensitive film surpasses the power
of the eye when aided by the telescope
for the camera records on the film OBJ
Jects which the eye cannot see through
the greatest magnifying lenses. No mat
ter how far away or how dimly it shines
the light of the faintest star in time
impresses 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 a pic
ture. The exposure sometimes lasts sew
eral hours; and If the camera were sta
tionary the motion of the earth would
soon carry the subject out of line with
the telescope. The camera therefore
is attached 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 a system
Of clockwork, the telescope moves so
that the subject occupies the same posi-
ton on the slate during the exposure.
In the picture of the Swift comet may
be seen small white lines. These are the
marks or trails of the stars. The tele-
scope was adjusted to the speed of the
comet, and as it Travelled much faster
than the stars. the photographs of the
stars appear as streaks instead of light.
1t is another curious feature of celestial
photography that plate may be exposed
several nights on the same subject. ]

lures which were exposed, the former
on two and the latter on four successive
evenings. The pictures showing the neb-
ulae required a total exposure of thir-
teen hours and forty-four minutes.

No. the Same Man.

Evangelist DAILY, who is to con-
duct revival meetings at the Bap-
tist church, has been supposed by
some to be the lecturer, who. as a
former Catholic priest, spoke in
this city some months ago and
dealt SO harshly with the Church
of Rome as to offend protestants
and Ce..A.x,lirs alike. He is, how
ever, not the same man. While
he is like the other in the fact that
he was once a catholic priest, he
is very unlike him in spirit. He
comes to La unta, not to discuss
questions of church difference, but
to preach as an evangelist. He is
in it with such earnestness that no
one can doubt his sincerity. His
first sermon will be at the Baptist
church tomorrow morning. Every
body cordially invited.

When . man breaks down with thst
dread disease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition, he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing.
He consults this doctor and that doctor.
He indulges in all kinds of absurd athletic
exercises. He tries first one climate and
then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse.
That is the story of most consumptives.
Finally, when the consumptive dies, the
doctor shrugs his shoulders and pfonounces
consumption incurable. A thirty years.

By local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
OF the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
OF the mucous lining OF the Gus
tachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness IS
the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused oy catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition Of the

bruised from the beating she had received
at her husbands hands. Her husband
was not in the house and as the ncighboI
was leaving. he heard screams coming
from the back yard. Running back, he
found the insane man dragging his little
girl toward the chopping- block, telling her
he was going to chop her head off with an
axe. The ncighbor tore the child from him
and later he was placed in the costody of a
constable. The following morning the
ed amazcncnt when told what he had
done. Dependency over the poor results
of work OH his farm had made temporary
lunatic of him.
1t is almost impossible nowadays to pick
up a newspaper without reading a story
like this. Modern business competition
and the universal greed for more money
cause men to ovcrwork and ovcrworry at
the expense of their health. Too little at
tention is paid to ill.hcalth. A man isn't
supposed to be sick until he is sick abed.
As a matter of fact, man may be a very
sick mana dangerously sick inn-and go
about his ordinary avocations for some
time. The right time to treat sickness is
before, not after q man is fiat on his back.
When a man shows that he Is worrying
over his work and the results Of 1t, when
he suffers from headaches, nervousness and
dependency. when he is restless and
slccpless at night and loses his appetite, he
is sick and it Is time for him to take the
rightsncdicine. All these conditions and
symptoms arc the result of insufficient and
improper nouIishmcnt, aggravated by over
work and ovcrworIy. If mans body Is
properly and sufficiently nourisfcd il is al
most an i:npossibilli,y to ovcrwork him,
and worry will not harm him.
There Is a marvellous medicine for hard.
working men who arc on the down-grade
to some serious physical or nervous all

Discovery. IT corrccts faults of nutrition.
1t gives a man the appetite he had when he
was boy. 1t invigorates the liver,
strengthens tho stomach and increases the
flow of digestive juices. II aids assiinila-
tion and fills the blood with the lifc-giving
elements that build new. firm flesh tissues
in all parts of the body. 1t tones and
builds up the enfecblcd nerve fibcrs and
brain cells. It makes rich, red blood and
is the greatest of all flesh builders. II
does not make corpulcnt people more cor
pulent, but builds solid, muscular flesh
without raising the weight above the nor
NAL figure. 1t gives sweet, refreshing
sleep and cures nearly all nervous and
all cases of consumption If taken in the
earlier stages of that fatal nialady. This
great medicine is for sale by all good mcdi,

urge you to take some inferior substitute
for medicine of worldwide rcputc, in or.

Oddly enough, they were quite fashion
able 40 and so years ago. A fayorite
and one Of the most beautiful objects
imaginable is bunch Of crystals from
one of the famous caverns in the lime
stone district. Some of these are as clear
as rock crystal, and are not alone many
faceted but are often covered in part
with masses of large and small crystals
of great brilliancy.s When the faceting
occurs in certain patterns, the crystal
has the fire of a precious stone and, in
q well lighted parlor will throw colored
lights and fires in every direction. Still
another bea utiful object is mass of fine
fern leaf coral, which is found near the
keys in the middle and eastern part of
the island Some of this is SO delicate
that it suggests a petrifed cobweb. -

cliff and brought home from it an
eagles nest, which was found under his
