Lieutenant Colonel Hugh L. Scott OF
the United States volunteers, formerly
captain of the Seventh cavalry. Is
known in the army as an officer who
probably knows more about Indian
sign language than any other living
man. At one time Colonel Scott made
a standing offer OF 81 to any redskin
who could show bin a sign used by
any tribe which he did not know. The
colonel Is also peculiarly absentmind-
ed. a fact which was emphasized at his
marriage few years ago.
AS he stood at the altar with his bride
the officiating clergyman asked him
The usual question as to taking the wo-
man beside him to be his wife. The
colonel placed two fingers upon his left
eyebrow. After an embarrassing pause
the clergyman repeated the question.

H:tie Russian girl named Tyna
Heimin became n pupil in the Wells
Grammar school OF HoSion last autumn.
She did not know u word OF English,
but she could sprak little French and
Spanish and her own native tongue
nuently. She was placed in the lowest
grade in the school, but In n few weeks
her teacher thought that she would
probably gain more in the next higher
grade. This was repeated until the
principal advanced her to the highest
class in the school. When it came time

A Swift EIyiar stnr

a faint star in the Great Bear known
as 1880 Groombridge" is famous
among astronomers on account OF its
rapid motion. Recently a new compu-
tation OF its velocity has been made by
Professor Campbell OF the Lick OBJ
servatory. He estimates its speed
across the line of sight from the earth
at 100 miles per second. AT the same
time 1t Is drawing nearer the earth at
the rate OF 5S >or 90 miles per second.
But Its distance is so great that light.

quires more than % years to pass from
che star TO the earth. The spectrum of

aemblance TO that OF the sun.

A GLORIOUS NIGHT SCENE.

buffalo Exposition.
They hare staged electricity at Buff
faio this summer. and they call il the
Pan-American exposition. says Eugene
x. White Ia The Atlantic. 1t took a
rectanglc OF $50 acres for the stage and
over $fo.0O0,000 for the settings. The
result. baicly stated. is the most glo-
rious night scene the world has ever
had the fortune to witness. This stag
ing OF Niagara is the one unforgettabie
thing about the affair. : . Somewhere
over in Canada has sunk the red ball of
the sun. touching resplendently as he
went the gold and blue of dome and
iiniaL Standing between the pylons.
one sees the slow dusk conquer the
massed color. the insistent hues. The
buildings huddle mysteriously together
about the gray tower, and here and
there a band strikes up. Dim like an
exhaiation is the picture now, and n
perNasive hush is over the scene. The
splash of the fountains is OF q sudden
loud. The statues whisper together.
The people are silent.
There glows, before one knows II. a
preinonitory redness along up through
the lines of pillars which range them
selves in solemn file in the great court.
Each pillar is surmOunted with close
cluster OF lights. And look! The great
tower Itself is blushing low red. The
red is angry now, sharper and there
daylight is almost here again. Each
building has giimmered into light
Electricity has mounted her spIendent
throne.
But 1t Is not daylight; II is something
almost better-refined daylight. Less
frank, less brutal, less modern. Sud
denly from everywhere there has come
light which is more than glow. bur
less than glare. The exposition i'm n
second or so has grown from city of
shadows to vision of light. And such
vision and such 4 light!

star. The Pan-American has hitched
its glorious vain to the Pleiadcs. 1t
has harnessed itself to no less than
100000 of those "domesticated. bid
dab!e stars" called incandescent lights.
1t is no mere picking out the outline of
building in row of lights. 1t is re-
creating the architecture in softer
beauty. which. standing against the
blue velvet of the sky, gives us n pic
