A GLORIOUS NIGHT SCENE.
The EtectricaI illumination at the
Buffalo Exposition.

Buffalo Exposition.
They have staged electricity at Buff
falo this summer, and they call it the
Pan-American exposition. says Eugene
r. White in The Atlantic. 1t took a
rectangle of $50 acres for the stage and
over $10.000,0O0 for the settings. The
result. BADLY stated. is the most glo-
riOus night scene the world has ever
had the fortune to witness. This stag

daylight is almost here again. Each
building has glimmered into light.
Electricity has mounted her splendent
throne.
But it is not daylight; it is something
almost better-refined daylight. Less

a light which is more than a glow, but
less than glare. The exposition in a

A Juvenile Genius.

A little Russian girl named Tyna
Holman became a pupil in the Wells
Grammar school of Boston last autumn.
She did not know a word of English,
but she could speak little French and
Spanish and her own native tongue
1uently. She was placed in the lowest
grade in the school. but in a 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
for the last examination and the d.
ploma list was made out. the name of
this little girl, who entered the Wells
school in the fall in the lowest grade,
was among the list of graduates. and
with honors too. Thus she made the
four years course in one.

A Swift Flying Star.

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 50 or 60 miles per second.
But its distance is so great that light.
