New York. Nov. 7.--One of the chief
claims of William Jennings Bryan upon
the loyalty Of Democrats was the general
understanding that h. was nominated
for President in 1896 ut the Chicago Con
vcnton by Il great wave Of spontaneous
sentiment which was started by his fam
Gus speech in support of free silver

the right kind of men could be- got tn
engineer the movement and start the
thing going. Bryan said he knew Scott
could do effective work along this line if
he chose. and wound up by asking Scott
to aid him. Scott said he would do so
| if Bryan would put him in communica-
ti0n with his friends. Bryan said his
headquarters were at the Clifton House,
and sent Scott there to meet his friends.
1t was Il surprise to Scott that Bryan
had headquarters. That same night
Scott met Bryan's friends at headquart-
erS in the Clifton House, and held IL
long consultation as to ways and means.
F., Mr.. Scott urged that as Il necessary pre-
liminnry no stone should be left unturned
to secure the seating of Mr.. Brynn's CON
testing delegation for Nebraska This
was done and resulted in victory.
1t was then arranged Mr.. Scott says,
that Bryan should enter the convention
hall in as dramatic a style as possible,
and that this should be the signal for
the clauur to make its first dcmonstra-
ton.
Bryan acted his part well. He entered
the hall with big Nebraska banner over
his shoulder and leading the successful
delegation. His head was held high. his
eyes flashed, his chest heaved, his step
was slow and stately. Instead of march
ing to their seats by way of the main
aisle and by the nearest way from the
back of the hall. Bryan led his men
across the front Of his platform. in front
of the chairman. and then down the

Star Distances.

Probably you know that the stars are
suns. and that they look like mere shining
points OF light because they are SO far
away. The nearest is so far that cannon
shot fired in Adams time from the Gar
den Of Eden, and flying continually
with undiminished speed, would even
now hardly have started on it's journey.
1t would be as II train bound for anoth her
town had just pulled we'll out OF the
station.
On q summer evening you may see Arc
turus high up in the south or southwest
in June or July, and farther down in the
west in August or September. You will
know 1t by its red color. That star has
been flying straight ahead ever since as
tronomers began to observe it, at such
a speed that 1t would run from New
York to Chicago in a small fraction OF a
minute. You would have to be spry to
rise from your chair, put Oh your hat
aud overcoat and gloves and go out on
the street while il was crossing the
Atlantic ocean from New York to Liver
pool. Aud yet il you should watch that
star all your life, and live as long as

Many, perhaps most, OF the stars are
really much larger and bright than the

second brig star i'll the heavens. 1t

see 1t well you would have to 20 at least

though it shines to us only as a very
bright star, 1t is really thousands Of times

whole sky would seem to be abiaze, and
everything combustibe on the earth q
surface forests, houses and fences
would be burned by the fervent heat as
II thrown into a hot fire. But the dis
lance OF Campus is immeasurably great.
so that astronomers have not been able
to learn anything certain about it. The
most interesting conclusion from this is
that Campus, although 1t is only a star
in the sky, is really thousands of times
brighter than the sun.
Canopusss not the only star Of which
this IL true. Rigel, in the consteil a ion
Orion, is a star Of the first magnitude; yet
ITS distance is beyond all that the most
powerful Instruments OF astronomy can
fathom. There may be yet other stars
ten thousand times MS bright as the sun,
and yet SO far away that we do not see
them as very bright stars.
There are now abOnt sixt y stars OF whose
distance astronomers have been able to
get some idea. The distances OF few OF
the nearest OF these have been measured
with some approach to exactness, but t he
fart her star is, the harder it becomes to
secure exactness in such measurements.
But astronomers are always trying to i'm
prove their Instruments, and every year
they are finding out more and more about
the stars.
