BRIGNoLI STOPPED A SERMON.
Singer Had Come Late to Church and
 Insisted on the Star Part.

RrigncH was susceptible to hattery.
 and il is said that once in New York,
 when the orchestra vigorously ap-
 Piaudsd one of his favorite songs, he was so touched that he came down to the foCtlights and invited them al to a champagne supper at the Everett house. The supper cost him $500. Brignoli was careful of his voice and
 was terribly afraid of drafts It WIS once stated that during the winter it always took him thuee-quarters of an hour to get from his room to the street. First, he would, on leaving his room, pace the hall for ten minutes to set acclimated. He then descended to the lobby, where the temperature was : little lower, and spent twenty minutes there. He then ventured to the vesti- bule, from which the dor opened t5 the street. He would parade the vesti- bule for fifteen minutes, occasionally opening the door to let in a Little cold air. Being now accustomed to tie cool temperature, he would button up his coat and sally forth
 He. once agreed to sing a solo at St. Agnes church, New York city. He came in late, and, after divesting him self of many coverings, tulnbling over music racks and eXasperating the choir by trying his voice. he came to the conclusion that he was ready. By this time, however, the sermon had commenced, but BrignoH, unabashed, leaned over the cacir railing and tried to attract the attention of the preacher by shaking his head and gesticulating with his hands. At last he called out In a voice which was audible for some distance: Me ready for ze sing, StCpDa ze preach, Stoppa ze preach!" And the priest actually cut the ser mon short in order to accommodate ths impatient tencr, whose voice now rang out with such fervor as to thrill the worshippers and justify the sac1l- hce.-National Magazine.

GRAND CANYON STORIES
Gorge Which Gould Swallow Up pike'S
 Peak and Other Big Things.

The Grand Canyon of the Colorado
 is so stupendous that it passes the fac ulty of measurement. There are i shafts of stone five tims5, or even ten
 times as high as the Washington mon
 ument The Eiffel tower would look 1 like tcy if it were placed in one of i the dark gorges or on the top of the smallest of the pyramids. What looks l like a little niche in the edge of 3 cliff would furnish a foundation for forty buildings like the capitol at Washing ton
 The canyon is the biggest thing that anybody ever saw. If you should turn | Pike's Peak upside down and drop it into any Of the gorges it might fiji one Of thousand holes.
 The descent into th5 canyon is not easy, but it is not dangerous if you have a good horse. It takes all day, hnwever, to go down and come up again, with a little time to rest and eat a luncheon at the bottcn. That is waste of time and labor unless one is going to remain at the canyon sev- eral days. The best views are ob- tained by riding around the rim. Like q ribbon of silver twisting in and out Of the g5rges is the Colorado river, of which you get q glimpse every l rapid and tumu.jalus stream, whose waters are the color of chocolate. On it's banks, at the bottom of the canyon, various minerals are found, the most valuable being copper and asbestos. Silver, geld and all other minerals known to man have been seen in ire quent but uncertain traces, which is net unnatural as the Colorado river drains the richest mineral country in the world.
 A most amusing character at the canyon is Captain Hance, an old from tiersman of eccentric manner, who has been living on the edge of the gorge for twenty-five years, most of the time in utter isolation, and, according to his own confession, has denied himself everything, even the truth.
 Captain Rance adyertises himself as the biggest liar in Arizona, and is proud of that title He explains that he has lived under the inf1u1ence of big things like the canyon so long that it has affected his mental vision and his mCIal perceptions. AS a re- suit he induiges in tales that are some what exaggerated but none the less in teresting.
 Captain Hance used to claim that he built the canyon; that he dug 1t out all alone by himself when he was a boy; that he loved to work so much that the eastern states did not furnish an adequate field for his energy. 50 he came to Arizona and tried his hand in making q canyon. But he does not tell this story any more. "A year or two ago a little girl came to the can you and listened with eyes and mcuth and ears open to the remarkable ex- Berienoes related by Captain Hance, and when he had finished telling the members of the party to which she be- longed how ne dag the canyon all by himself the child exclaimed. indig- nantly:
 T don't believe a word Of it.
 My dear" exclaimed Captain Hance. responsibility, don't ycu be- liove that I dug the canyon?"
 If you dug it" replied this infant terrible, what did you do with the dirt?'
 For once in his life Captain Hance was silent and says he has never told that story sinca.-Chicago Record.

SHOOTING STARS

On the 10th Cf August, 1899, grand display of celestial fireworks will take place all over the world, and probably the fine climate, dry air and cloudless sky of Arizona will insure an uninter- cepted view which may not be the case in those parts of the word where for 1rcre than half the time the sky is ob- scured by clouds.
 Astronomy is a progressive science, and We know now that not one single shooting star exists among the whole heavenly host, and that the flashes and streaks of light which we have seen and called shooting stars from our early childhood are nothing more or less than meteors, meteorites or aero lites (ali the same under different names) drawn downward by our earth attraction and burning up in the oxygen of our atmosphere. The flash we see is distant from the earth about seventy miles. In olden times the ancients regarded the occurrence Of a meteor as OminOus, and even in much later times the appearance of a comet filled neOplc with terror. and was regarded 3s q Dortent Of the de- struction of hc earth by fire and the approaching end of the world Me teOrs are Of all sizes from a few grains in weight to the size of q can non bail. and aerOites have been seen to fall thrcugh the atmosphere to the earth and have been recovered in 2 semi-fused condition and preserved, which were found to weigh several hundred pounds. Upon careful analy- sis these meteors have been found to be composed of irCn, carbon hydrogen gas, cobalt and other substances found on the earth.
 Star gazers have existed from pre- historic times. While shepherds watched their aocks by night, all seat ed on the ground, their eyes beheId with wonder the starry Armament. The groups of stars called constella- tions were counted and named by the ancients and one brilliant group is called 0riOn's belt after king of the of that ndme The ancients believed the earth to be a vast and boundless plain and that the sun, mopn and stars vere ciEeling around = tE1 l=z sLfr tAs s-te and sz-iu-

sive use and benefit of the human
 race
 After a ,ong time had elapsed men
 discovered that the earth was a round | ball which they believed to be firmly
 fixed in space as the pivot on which
 the whole universe turned. Again, after long time had passed the sun
 was acknowledged to be the center of
 wat was called the solar system with
 seven planets, including cur earth,
 circling around it. Seven was the
 number of perfection. By and by, with
 the aid of the telescope, two more
 planets Neptune and Uranus) were
 discovered. and that upset the theory
 about the seven planets It was
 proved by the return on time of Hall- ey's comet that some comets have an
 elliptic orbit around our sun and be- long to our solar system quite as much as does the planet Venus Now, me te0rs cannot be seen either by the naked eye or through the telescope, and their presence is only known when they strike the earths atmosphere, but by one way and another astrono- mers have got to know q good deal abcnt meteors. It is known that there are six meteor rings or streams having orbits or pathways around the sun of elliptic form. Four of these meteor rings do not traverse any portion of the earths pathway or orbit, but the ether two do. First, the August me- teors, seen on August 10 annually, are a meteor ring or stream having an or bit which is identical in point Of time with that of our earth, namely, one year. The second, or November, me teors distinguished by the name of the Leonides, because they appear to come to us from the constellation Leo Cor the Lion), have an elliptic orbit or pathway around our sun which occu- pies thirty-three and a quarter years. Their last appearance was in Novem- Der, 1866, and they are due again next November. Then cur earth will plunge right into an enormous stream of meteGrs which will fill the atmOs phcre with flashes of light. In 1866 over eighe thousand were counted at Greenwich observatory in two hours, and it may be remarked that net one of these November meteOrs has ever been known to fall to the earth, but meteor dust has been found and iden- tifed and astronomers tell us that not less than one million tons of such dust falls to the earth every ten years. As tronomers a.so tell us that the moon has no atmosphere and that every me tcOr coming within her attraction falls right Cn to her surface. If this iS so, the traditional man in the moon," if such a person exists, must have a i lad time of it during either of these | celestial bonn hardments.
