sMALLNEss OF THE SUN.
Its Magnitude Compared With Some
of the Fixed Stars.

Dr. Gill, Of the Cape Observatory (Cape
OF Good Hope), In a recent address. made
some interesting statements regarding
the relations between absolute bright
ness, relative lIghtneEs and size OF the
stars.
He pSlated out that We have stars rang
ing in brightness from 5000 TO 1000 time
greater than that of the sun 10 those OF
only OO3 that of the sun. The mass OF the
star known as Centauri is practically
Identical with that of the sun, and the
spectra of the two are similar, SO II is not
unreasonable to assume that the absolute
light given out by the two bodies is iden-
teal
We know the visual magnitude Of A Cen
tauri and hence that II we could shift the
sun TO distance equal to the distance OF A
Centanri II would appear only little
brighter than a fifth magnitude star.
(Stars up to about six and one-half magni-
tude are visible TO the naked eye.) All OF
which simply means that the sun, with its
diameter Of S65, coo miles, and its tempera-
ture OF over 5000 degrees centigrade, is
really only tenth-rate source of energy,
compared TO some of the so-callei fixed
stars, which are so far away that 1t takes
their light hundreds of years to reach us.
Indeed It has been suggested by some
astronomers that there are stars in ex-
istence and near enough to be seen, per-
haps by very powerful telescopes. which
are SO far away that their light, travelling
at the rate OF 1856 900 miles second since
creation. has not yet reached the earth.

was discovered. and. like the other brave
man, was hogged and kicked TO death. As
the prisoners had been bound in this way
for thirty-slx hours, be>ides being roughly
handled in the carts, one may get some
faint idea of what the old Sikh must have
undergone in his attempts to give ease
to his officer OF all that were taken pris-
oners at that time by the Chinese, only
FIVE or six survived, and those were all
either Sikhs or -..r,rz,y. All the meat
eaters, whether Mussulmans, English, or
French, died-and became mad from the
torture before they died.
The Chinese Government had to give
money remuneration for each soldier and
officer taken, and the Emperor's summer
palace was burned as a sign of our detes-
tation of such horrible cruelty.
The survivors of the torture, in addition
to the money given by the Chinese Gov
eminent, got the pension allowed them by
the pension rules, and on the return OF
Fanes Horse to India 1t was considered
ny the natives that the Governments
treatment of those who had suffered was
most liberal.
The survivors were all young men. Inc
effect of the dreadful time they had been
thr5 gh showed itself in their inability
to he ID up their hands, the tendons at the
wris.s having been cut through by the
cruel cords.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Both men stood bowling. each with his
hand on his heart, and each boiling IN
wardly at sight of those small fingers on
the Englishman's sleeve. There was
brief pause, during which mademoiseile

down. Then she went on steadily:

men. that when your flag and his are again
at war, as is likely to be soon, he may not
find such swords as yours opposed to him,
for he is my betrothed. l commend him to

The two Frenchmen met each others
eyes with a glance OF mutual comprehen-
sion. murmured some inarticulate compli-

final bitterness Of permitting Captain Jack
TO help them on with their coats.
1t was one of the triumphs of Captain
Jack Moleby's career that he did not smile.

MAKING WHISKY IN PRISON.
Miniature Stills That Turn Out
Pint of Liquor IA Day.

Acting on the principle that no whisky
is bad whisky, and refusing even to ac-
knowledge that some whisky is better than
other whisky, certain prisoners IN me
Tower have, according to the statemt nj OF
a man Just released, erected miniature dis-
tilleries and have made o-be-joyful tangis-
foot right under the eyes OF the J1ileTs.
This condition of affairs is denied by the
officials of the Tower.
Matt Hardee. an "old man of the noun
tains" with a penchant for violating the
law in SO far as it endeayOrs to restrict
his making mountain dew" is authority
for the statement that tiny distilleries are
in operation in the Tower.
Hardee was discharged from the Tower
on Friday after having served 100 days
for moons hining." He lives near Dallas
and on Friday night on his way home told
an interesting story TO reporter as TO
how II is possible to make liquor in jail.
Yes. Bud we haze 'em in full swing
right in the Jail. We can't do without
our LIQUOR. 1t makes no difference where
we are When | was sent up for the first
tire four years ago ] made whisky in the
=. and when | came back some time ago
7 sigged me up moonshine factory at
once.
Il took two coffee pots for boilers, and
after trading and scheming with the other
prisoners 1 managed to get a rubber tube
TO make a worm. Then / was fixed SO far
as the apparatus went. but the next thing
that bothered me was getting meal.
you see, we Government prisoners are
allowed many priyilegeSabat the Others are
not. We can stroll about the yard and into
the ISL office, the kitchen, and, in fact,
anywhere else we want to, except into the
street 1t was a small natter 10 get meal
from the cooks on the excuse that wanted
hal nd Na
to rub on my back.
After getting the meal IT was a small
matter 10 make the real thing. You zee,
| the plant is small, but We could turn out
| about pint every day.
There were other fellows who had stills
also. and after making an all-night fua,
| using common tin lamps to get up heat, we
| had right good lot next morning. Then
we would proceed TO get drunk. / made
enough money In jail TO pay my fare
home. just by selling my stun TO other
! prisoners
