moon. While at Lick Observatory Pro-
fessor Barnard discovered the fifth
satellite of Jupiter, but was unable to
study 1t to any advantage. The
Yerkes telescope brings out this fifth
moon very clearly to the eye of the as
tronomer, and Prof. Barnard has been
able to observe it and measure it with
great accuracy.
Star clusters seen through the Yerkes
telescope are wonderfully beautiful,
great ball, like swarm of golden bees.
The moon was too full for good view,
and showed merely a pale yelloWlsh
surface.
About noon Prof. Hale had the tele-
scope turned on the sun. No sun spots
were visible, SO the telescope was dl-
rected along the disk of the sun at the
flames which burst through it's dense,
gaseous cloud wrappings and thrust
their tongues far out Into space. On

the astronomer each object Is full OF
details which escape the unframed eye
Every line has a meaning, and In the

Whale in Shrimp Net.

A small bottle-nosed whale IL feet
long and feet in circumference has
been captured off the Essex coast, and
is now to be seen on the beach at
Southend. 1t was surprised near the
shore by some local fishermen, who
managed. to take it by tangling it up
In an old shrimp net.
Its vitality was so great that it lived
for fifty hours after capture. The idea
of tackling a ton of lively whale with
a shrimp net does not in the least Inn
press it's captors, who, says our CORE
spondent, would go for a sea serpent
with half inch rope"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

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 constitu-
tlonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an IN
Eustachian Tube When this tube gets in
famed you have rumblng sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
