What Is 4 Days

Nine persons out of 10-yes, 900 out
CT every .,000-if asked how long it
takes the earth to turn once on its axis
would answer "a hours, and to the
question, How many times does it turn
on its axis in the course of the year
the answer would be 365A times Both
answers are wrong.
1t requires but % hours and 56 min
utes for the. earth to make one complete
turn, and it makes 1861 turns during
the year. The error springs from a
wrong idea of what is meant by day.
The day is not, as is commonly sup
posed. the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages of the sun across the meridian
that is to say, the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south in
its diurnal course through the heavens
before it is again seen in that position.
Now, in consequence of the earth S
revolution in its orbit, or path round
the sun, the sun has the appearance of
moving very slowly in the heavens in d
direction from east to west. At noon
tomorrow the sun will be short dis
tance to the east OF the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon to-
day, so that when the earth has made
one complete turn it will still have to
turn four minutes longer before the sun
can again be seen exactly south.

When Poe Was Hungry.

Gabriel Harrison, who was a popular
young actor in the forties and also an
artist and politician and friend of cele-
brated men. told this story of Edgar
Allan Poe:
81 asked Poe several times when he
was at the studio to sit for his portrait,
but he always refused ON the ground
that his clothes were too shabby. But
one Afternoon l caught him in an un-
usually complacent mood and obtained
the original of the engraving you see
there ON the wall. This was but three
years before Poe's. death. and he was
not at all prosperous.
81 recollect that oiice we were walk
ing up town together late in the day,
when Poe began TO sway from side to
side and then stopped. He said he felt
faint We went into cafe, where we
had a glass OF wine and biscuit. Poe
then told me that his sudden dizziness
was the result of not having eaten any
thing since early morning.

Yellow New York.

We know of no city in all this land,
not excepting Hoboken or Jersey City,
which is less national in its feelings,
its ideas and its aspirations than New
York. It has never yet done anything
really national. There was not public
spirit enough in the well TO do classes
cf the town to eveh build the pedestal
of the Liberty statue. The same classes
waited years and went begging all over
the country to raise Il fund for the
Grant monumcnt-a duty which, III

privilege. But New York is New York.

Brushing Improves the Hair.

The very best brushes should always be
chosen, and at the very least 100 strokes
day should be vigorously administered.
The bristles of the brush should not be so
hard as to drag the hair out in case of a
tangle obstructing their course, nor
should they be yielding. 1t is useless to
brush the hair unless the skin of the head
be brushed as well The friction stimu-
lates it and makes the hair grow Brush
ing the hair with slow and languid strokes
is simply useless. Vigor and intention are
necessary to produce a really good effect
and induce the bright, healthy gloss that
hair should have.-Ladies Home journal.

Perhaps no celestial body has been
photographed so many times as the
moon. At Lick Observatory the man
in the moon" sits for his picture many
times during the year. Jupiter and
Saturn are also frequent subjects, and
no day passes in which some sun-spot
does not leave it's celestial autograph
on the sensitive plate. Many astro-
nomical discoveries have been made
through photography, the greatest OF
them being the discovery, by Professor
Draper, of oxygen in the sun. The
applications of photography are so
many and so varied that a whole vol
ume of the st. Nicholas would be re-
ouired to describe them; for there Is
no department of knowledge in which
II has been SO extensively used, and
none to which it has been SO universal
ly helpful.

Prof. Dean G. Worcester contributes
to the September Century an article on
"The Malay Pirates Of the Philippines q"
Speaking Of his guide, Prof. Worcester
says: Toolawee was considered a good
Moro, and we were therefore interested
in certain incidents which gave us an
insight into his real character. After
satisfying himself by observation that
we could use our rifles with some eff
feet, he made us a rather startling
business proposition in the following
words: you gentlemen shoot quite
well with the rifle" Yes; we have
had some experience" "You desire to
get samples of the clothing and arms
of my countrymen for your collection ?"
YES" Papa General Arolas) told
you, If you met armed Moros outside
the town, to order them to lay down
their arms and retire?" yes" papa
does not understand my people as I do.
They are all bad. When we meet
them, do not ask them to lay down
their arms, for they will come back
again, and get them, and probably at
tack us. Just shoot as many Of them
as possible. You can then take their
arms and clothing, and l will cut off
their heads, shave their eyebrows,
show them to papa, and claim the re-
never really forgave us for refusing to
enter into partnership with him on this
very liberal basis.
