Three stars in One.

The North Star has recently attract
ed much attention from the fact that
in September, 1899, Prof. w. W. Camp
bell OF the Lick Observatory. Mount
Hamilton, CAL. announced that it il
really three stars, which appear as one.
Even the big telescope, with its glass
yard across, at his observatory, could
not tell that, as the star Is SO far off;
although the telescope can show a
great deal Of the form and surface
markings of the sun. moon and plan
cts, and help us to see millions Of
stars not visible to the unaided eye
Prof. Campbell attached to this tele-
scope an instrument called the spec
troscope, which analyses the light it
self. and tells what it Is made of, and
whether the star from which it comes
is in motion or at rest, and whether
coming towards us or going away. He
found by careful sturdy that Polaris u

Novel Life Preseryer.

An. improved or protected breaches
Buoy has been invented by Lieut.. G..
HI. Mcclellan, Inspector OF the life-sav--5
ing service on the Jersey coast. The
favorite method of landing shipwreck-
ed people when the wreck lies near
enough to the beach to enable the surf
men to shoot a line over the vessel
from the shore is the use Of the
breaches buoy, which is simply a big
cork life-preseryer, fitted with a. short
pair of canvas trousers. or trunks. The
shipwrecked person puts on this pre-
server and the buoy is hauled back and
forth from the wreck by men on the
beach by means of tackle. AL objec-
lions to this old buoy will be overcome
by the new and protected preserver
designed by Lieut.. Mcclellan, which
Will soon be introduced all through the
service. Surrounding the breeches,
through which a person thrusts his
legs, is a canvas bag. This affords an
extra protection against the sea. There
Is a valve at the bottom. through
which any water that comes over the
buoy is automatically elected. 1t Is
said that women show much less hes
itancy In trusting themselves to the
new-style buoy than to the old one

Noble Act of a tiississippian In the
storming OF the Fortress.
The Hon. John Temple Graves, in a
brief speech before Georgia Woman's
Club. told on the spur Of the moment
a beautiful storya true story which
enbalms the heroism and SURPRISING
chiValry of a gallant veteran now liv-
ing In Atlanta. Mr.. Graves said:
This is an era of heroes. We are
clarifying the proWess Of Dewey and
Hobson and Blue and croWning them
with immortal memories. And this IS
right. The appreciation Of heroes pro-
duces heroes. Men do not mind risk
ing their lives for country that will
remember the daring. And the time
to recognize heroes is while they live
not after they are dead. Let us re-
member our present heroes while they
are with us, and let us not now or
ever forget the heroes yet living whose
proves glorified an earlier day
There is hero and night of chiyal-
sry in this hall tonight. lie me tell
you the splendid story which his mo-
dest lips have never told: '"rhe war
with Mexico is part Of our martial
history. Taylor and Scott and Davis
and Lee came out of it immortal. The
epic of the great struggle was the
storming Of Chapultepec. That
frowing fortress was the Gibraltar OF
Mexico. It's massive walls seemed i'm
pregnable. But American daring halt
ed at no obstacles, and an intrepid band
OF volunteers was chosen to scale and
assault it. Among the first of the
dauntless few who brayed their way
through the shot and shell to the for
tress on that dreadful day was a young
Mississippian, handsome as Alcibiades.
proud, confident, and thrilling with pa
triotic ferver He was among the first
Ii not one Of the first, to scale the wall,
and, sword in hand, dashed along that
storm swept rampant in advance Of all
his fellows, to cut down the waving flag
of the enemy and reap the Immortality
of the deed. He was the first to reach
the flag; his sword was raised, when
he heard swift footsteps behind him.
He paused. turned and saw his com
handing officer, to whom he was ten.
derby attached and deeply obligated.
And then this gallant Mississippian,
without moments hesitation, with
the bow of a Chesterfield, lowered his
sword and with the point at rest stood
aside while his friend and commanding
officer cut down the flag Of Mexico and
was bulletined for the laurels Of that
splendid day. In the history of battles
there was never more gallant, more
chivalric deed than that. And the real
hero Of Chapultepec, manned and gray,
but glorious still, sits just before me
here tonight in the person Of my noble
and beloved friend, General William s.
Walker of Atlanta"

An Invalid Derry Cart.

A radical change in the character Of
the coach employed to take baby out
for an airing has taken place within
the last few years, and the great con-
venience of the Derry cart has sug-
gested the possibility Of constructing
folding invalid or Infants cart on
the same principles. The illustration
shows how this idea has been worked
out by an inventor OF Hamburg, Ger
many. There may be two wheels in
front and two back, as shown, or the
.three-wheeled arrangement SO popular
for the up-to-date automobile may be
used. The support for the patient IS
formed Of canvas, which extends from

Elspeth slipped from his hold and

The speed Of Gable Messages.

IN operating long cables very deli
cate instruments are required, and the
currents arriving at the receiving end
are very feeble in comparison with
those employed in land line signaling.
The longer the cable, naturally, the
feebler the impulses arriving at the re-
ceiving end. A short cable, cable
Of under 1000 miles being generally
considered a short cable, gives a speed
OF signaling amply sufficient for all
purposes, with conductor Weighing
about 100 pounds to the mile, sur
rounded by an insulating envelope of
gutta-percha weighing about an equal
amount When we come to a cable
OF about twice this length it is found
necessary in order to get a practically
unlimited speed, that is, a speed as
high as the most expert operator can
read 1T, to employ core OF $50 pounds
of copper to the mile, insulated with
AGO pounds of gutta-percha to the mile.
These are the proportions of copper
and gutta-percha, in the 1894 Anglo
American Atlantic cable, which is con-
sidered the record Atlantic cable for
speed Of working and has been worked,
by automatic transmission, at the rate
OF some forty-fiFe words a minute.
The type Of cable proposed for the
MISUNDERSTANDING section OF the
British Pacific cable, as designed by
Lord Kelvin, is to have a core OF 552
pounds of copper and 1868 pounds Of
eutta-percha to the mile and is cal
culated to give a speed of twelve words
per minute over a length OF 1860
miles. It is not considered safe to
adopt a much heavier core than this
for the reason that the weight Of the
complete cable with a core that should
weigh more than about half ton to
the nautical mile would be so great
that picking it up for repairs from
depth of 5000 fathoms would be an ex-
tremely difficult and hazardous opera

q DIR. Neville Wood records in the Lon
don Lancet case In which a consid-
cradle over-growth of hair on a wom-
ans face was removed by applying the
Roentgen rays. There were ten sittings
per week Of ten minutes each, the face
and neck being protected with a Lead
foil mask, except where the rays were
intended to act. After fourteen ex-
posures, it was noticed that the darker
hairs had lost some Of their luster, and
in a weeks time there was an obvious
lessening in their number. The hairs
became brittle and pale in color, with
satrophic bulbs. There was slight red
dening of the skin during this period.
After forty-five exposures the whole
OF very thick downy and hairy
growth had disappeared. except nine
hairs which remained at least a. week
after the total removal of the others.
They were found, however, tossbe read
lily separated at the bulbs, being re-
tanned In position by more superb
scial part of the root-sheath. After
cessation of the treatment, only a few
thick hairs had returned, and these
were removed with the well known
process Of destroying them by the cleo
trio needle. DIR. Wood is OF the opin-
ION that the treatment is neither dis
figuring nor painful, and thinks that
about twenty will clear the ground for
the use Of the electric needle, and that
between thirty or forty exposures will
probably result in permanent badness.
The rays also promise to be of service
as curative agent in the treatment OF
certain diseases of the skin. 1t seems
certain that cases of lupus are much
benefited, if not cured, by being treated
by periodic applications of the x rays,
and the hope is also held out that obs
,stinate cases of eczema, ringworm, etc,
will prove amenable to the same treat
ment. At Copenhagen a number of
cases Of lupus have been successfully
treated by exposure to sunshine, and
.as the Roentgen rays have an effect
like sunshine on the skin, it is thought
that they may prove equally effica-
&cious.
