SO O00, ,o3O stars will be photographed.
Previous to the middle of this century
such a work would have been considered
beyond the bounds of possibility. To
tabulate these stars in the ordinary way
would take thousands of years aud the
stars themselves would change their
places before the work could be half
finished. 1t is only through photogra-
uhy that it can be done at all. The en-
tire work could be done in one night, so

himself to drift along the line OF least
resistance. This seems ito be especially
the case with children of eminent busi-
ness men, They find it possible to en-
joy themselves with very little trouble
on their part. and so never attain the
ability which their fathers had, and
which comes only by intense application
to business duties.
Another. and possibly the most unver-
sal reason why clever men do not have
clever children, is that man may be a
genius and yet know nothing whatever
about child culture or prenatal in
nueneeS.
Any one may readily recall instances
OF great men, such as Webster, Peel,
Marlborough. Gladstone, and Bismarck,
whose children were not remarkable for
any sort of ability.
Many great man is so absorbed in
his favorite study that he is Indifferent to
all else. 1t is said of a certain noted
inventor that he was so intensely inter-
ested in the completion OF machine
that when his wedding day came he COM
petely forgot it. There have been men
of genius who could not remember the
names of their own children. Naturally
in the case of such men, the light that
shone brightly in the wcrld OF thinkers
did not shine very luminoWsly at home.
In Sir Francis Cations tabes of he
redity it is very plainly shown that it
is easier to transmit physical than in
tellectual genius. For example, the ia
nous wrestlers and athletes of Great
Britain handed down their prowess from
father to son for three or four genera
tions, while poets, philosophers and sci
entists sprang from mediocrity and left
mediocrity behind them.

Brooklyn Mans Thorough Preparations
For Suicide.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Henry Will
kens, Nassau street saloon keeper,
killed himself yesterday He was de-
spondent over continued III health.
Wilkens was found dead in the big ice
box in the cellar. The door of it was
shut tight and gas fumes filled 1t.
The body hung by piece of clothes
line from two hooks driven into a joist
overhead. A 45-calibre revolver was
tied about his chest and rubber hose
fastened to the gas fixture hung at his
side.
The arrangement of the revolver
showed great care and pains. 1t was
fastened with a piece of clothes line,
the strands of which had been unwound
and so fastened to the weapon as to
make 1t point almost directly towards
the mans heart. a yard of twine, fast
ened to the trigger, had a loop in the
other end of 1t so as to make 1t pos
sible for Wilkens to slip his foot into
1t and pull the trigger in that way
He had evidently stood on a half bar
rell, near by, adjusted the rope and the
revolver and had turned on the gas
and put the end of the tube in his
mouth. He had then stepped off the
half barrel There was a bullet wound
in his chest and two cartridges in the
revolver had been discharged

NEW YORK, Oct. lS.-Bradstreet's
reivew of trade says:
Though some measures of business
volume and value make unfavorable
comparison with a year ago and spec
ulation Is certainly on reduced scale
in nearly all lines, other registers Of
trade actively are still very favorable
and 1t is hard to resist the conclusion
that, with few notable exceptions, the
actual business of the country is, as
. rule fully equal to, if not slightly in
excess of the corresponding period Of
1899.
Failures are slightly more numerous.
1t is true than of late, but they are still
well down to a normal minimum.
Money rates are hardening, but mainly
because of increasing needs in comner-
cial circles, due to crop moving nec-
essities. Prices of staples as a whole
are firm. Railroad ear1'.l"f continue
to show small but STU Ci ,nct gains
over the unprecedented totals Of S9g.
Foreign trade returns for Scr'eiuber

and provisions, offsetting smaller ex-
ports of cereals and a further indioa-
ted shrinkage in crop yields finds re-
lief in the higher general level of values

ANOTHER OBSTACLE.

Cant Advance.

Cont Advance.
SCRANTON, Pa, Oct 1G.-Presi-
dent Mitchell and the others Of the
strike leaders who remained over Sum
day in this city left for Hazleton yes
terday Mr.. Mitchell declined to dis
cuss the operators statement Of their
views of the conventions outcome as
conveyed to the public in the interview
with President T. H. Watkins of the
Temple Iron company, but permitted
himself to say that Mr.. Watkins was
unfair in declaring that the raids in
the lower districts were led by paid
officers of the United Mine Workers.
He also settled effectively the dispute
whether or not the resolutions contem-
plate that the operators offer must also
be amended by striking off the codicil
that the decrease in the price Of pow
der Is to be computed in figuring the
advance In wages. "The advance must
be a fiat one" said Mr.. Mitchell.
"Where powder is being sold for $2.75
a keg the excessive charge will be one

turn to work"
In the face of the pronounced declar-
alton of the operators that the offer
must be accepted as it stands this Is
regarded here as another serious OBJ
stacle to speedy settlement.
There was no conference yesterday Of
operators at the Temple Iron COM
pany's Office as reported there would
be. or If there was, the operators de-
clare they know nothing of 1t.
