 By means of the spectroscope we can obtain probably more accurate sdeter- imitation of the suns velocity through space. says the Geatleman's Magazine. As is we'll known the velocity of 3 7tar in the line of sight can be found by measuring the displacement Of the lines visible in the stars speetrILs. Now the stars neafGbe position =oI the solar apex should be approaching the earth on account Of the solar motion. and those at the opposite point of the sky-ealled the santi=apex be receding. This method has been em. p1oyed by several astronomers, espee- tally by Eogel at che Potsdam obserya- tory. This able astronomer has found rom an examination of forty stars that tho suns velocity through space is about seven and one-half miles a sec ond, and an examination Of larger number of stars would be necessary before We could consider this result as thoroughly established From an ex- animation of the speetra Of fourteen uebalae, Prof. Keeler of the Lick ob- seryatory has found gelocities in the line of sight and from these the French astronomer Tisserand has deduced velocity of about nine and one-tbird miles for the solar motion, resal. which does not differ widely from that found by Vogel. Ne may, therefore, perhaps conclude that the velocity of the suns motion through space is be- tween six and twelve miles per second, The average velocity of the stars meas ured at Potsdam is about ten ard one, half miles a second and possi the sun may have similar vel3ei

SCORPION BY MAIL.
nlmal Had Crawled in the Pamphlet
while at Jamaica.

while at Jamaica.
 A few days ago c. c. Lloyd, the bot anist, received through the mail pamphlet issued by the botanical de- partment of the colonial government of the island of Jamaica. Upon re moving the wrapper and strengthening ..Jtze falds of the pamphlet there was dis sss. the remains of deadly SCOT pioa. It is characteristic of this ven omcas insect to seek hiding place in anything of tubular shape which will give it the opportunity of crawling to the far end of it's castle and there awaiting the chance of giving some unsuspecting person glimpse of the River Styx. In this case the scorpion, while prowling around among the mail sacks in the Kingston postofiee. dis covered the pamphlet and immediately craWled into the opening. =Unfortu- nately for "hts scorpionship," or fortu- nately for some mail clerk, the pam phiet was placed under a pile of mail matter in the sack, with the result that the insect was lattened out. MF. Lloyd saw in an instant the nature of the foreign corpse, and wisely put it aside until he held an inquest Like an h. dian, the only good scorpion is a dead one, and not even a hardened coroner would dare to sit on one if the thing showed evidences of playing possum. The weight on this scorpion was SC heavy that his tail took the familiar curve it assumes when the business end is ready to go to work. The astinger' is forced out to it's full length MT. Lloyd says thdt=this is oniy an in- stance of how insects are accidentally transmitted from one part of the world to another. The accompanying danger is eorrespondingly great to those whe handle the mail matter.-Gineinnati Enquirer.

Frnm ihe San Franciseo Chronicle

ExceIs.
 From the San Francisco Chronicle. Ii has been already announced by tele- graph that old age is telling upon the hig srapeyine in Fl Montecito valley, a few mics from Santa Barbara. The vine has the distinction of being the largest in the world, but it is rapidly dying. and the owner of the property upon which it stands, Albert McGee, has offered it to the Santa Barbara chamber of commerce. It is to be cut down soon and the trunk and so much of the branches as can be accommodate ed in the building will form perm@- nent exhibit in the chamber of com merce rooms. The original mother vine" as it was called, died in 1875, and the year following it was taken to the centennial exposition at Phila- delphia. where it was viewed by thou sands as a remarkable illustration of California,s produetiYeness. The old vine stood near the younger one. It was thrae feet ten inches in cfreum- ference of the trunk and the spreading branches covered a trellis seyenty-fiye feet square. The present vine is only three or four inches smaller in cir conference than it's parent, and # covers nearly as much space. 1t has produced four tons of grapes in a sin gle season in it's prime. It is now nearly 100 years old. When the Monte cito vine is gone Santa Barbara county will still claim the largest grapevine on earth, for on ranch in the Car pinteria valley there is growing thrift fly a double vine s:s:e: to come from a single stock below the surface of the ground. This double vine at Carpin- teria is over six feet in circumference Ali of these big Santa Barbara vines are of the Mission variety

COLD TO ORDER.
Some ways of Producing Artificial Low

 Tn the line of refrigeration on the rail, the newest and eleFerest in9en- ton is a car that by the motion of it's own wheels, congresses ammonia gas to a liquid, which, in expanding again through pipes. produces the cold re- quired to preserve the perishable prod uets transported in the vehicle. What the newly discovered liquid air may accomplish in the branch of enterprise here discussed, no man can say, though astonishing things are predict ed for it, but already cold in this ln- .ensely concentrated form is on the market and may be bought by the gal lon. Very possibly, ir the near future carts may go from door to door In cities with cans of cold-i. e., liquid air put up in suitable tins-depositlng full receptacles each morning for the days supply. and taking away the "empties." 4 little of the stuff in the family refrigerator will keep the pro- visions sweet, while what remains may be utilized for cooling the air of the house, spoonful being deposited here and there in a saucer. An inventor has recently devised a scheme for sprink- ling a town with the help of balloons, which carry up irto the air long hose pipes connected with fre=plugs on the ground. This is for the purpose of aRgendering eoolaess; and the sama object is sought. by another genius, who proposes t0 erect in various parts If the city very tall skeleton towers, to the tops of which large bombs filled with earboaie acid. will be run ap for explosion by aD electric spark.

Colate de Dion. the promos- er Of the automobile in France where the= new vehicle first attained popular ity9 is3 according to the Bicycling World. a striking illustration of this truth The eomte was long the typical white carnation of the Paris aristoe- raeys which means that he was a ne7er=do-weii. The mefest accident sufieed to put him on the right track. One day he bought a miniature loeo- motive for the little son of one of his friends. and carried the toy to the child. But though they lighted the alcohol lamp and got up steam in the tiny boiler, for some reason the thing would not work. Comte de Dion is Of stubborn disposition. He persisted, tried this cog and that, finally taking off his coat to work more at ease. He puzzled the whole afternoon on the engine with no success. Then he car lied it home and spent the night squat t44lS 0u luE uOOF dmlQSL dH assortment Of serewdriyers, hammers and files he had bought OF the way. The locomo- tive was taken completely apart and readjusted several times. At last, to- ward daybreak. tho young count had the satisfaction of seeing the toy travel merrily around the room. Having thus discovered within him a taste and ar aptitude for meehan>es Co1nte de Dior did not return to his idling but studied until he became an engineer. It was st this period that he showed remark able business perspicacity in investing all his capital in the automobile indus .ry. At time when everybody was deriding the first clumsy machines. that spurted and shied and then re- fused to budge for hours, he under stood the possibilities of the motor car and resolutely cast his lot with tss fortune. It is generally acknowledged tha: no man in France has done so mu h to further the cause of the new locl motion.

firm ut the stockyards and asked IL he

he could, and he took q seat near the

Smith, the we'll known brokers at the

When 1t was discovered that the
