why do the stars twinkles Many
persons suppose that il is due TO The
changes thai are constantly going on
ia the stars own fires. the effect pro-
duced on our eyes being much the
same as that produced BY the flashing
and flckering Of a terrestrial fire
This. however, Is only a popular fal-
lacy, the real cause Of the twlnkling
being the passage OF the stars rays
through our atmosphere, the twinkling
varying according to the condition in
which the atmosphere may be- on the
top Of a high mountain, Tor example.
where the atmosphere Is much lighter
and rarer than it Is on the lower lev
els. there is. as rule. no perceptible
twinkle. and even on the lower levels
there Is none during the dead calm
that often preeedes "A storm.
There are few persons. perhaps. even
among the most Indifferent observers
Of the heavens. that have not seen
some Of the brighter stars, say, sirius,
Arcturus. Capella. Vega, Aldebaran or
Rigel flashing like great jewels, with
all the rainbow tints when near the
horizon. II Is then that twiukling. al
ways a beautiful phenomenon. be-
comes an exquisite spectacle, and Il Is
due to the passage Of the stars light
through the denser part Of the earth's
atmosphere. The same star, when
overhead. or even at moderate eleva-
ton above the horizon, does not twin
kie one-half so much.
During windy weather, however
and especially when the wind is from
the north, the twlnkling is very mo-
ticeable. even in stars that are IN the
zenith. 1t has also been noticed that
there Is a marked increase IN twink
ling when there is a good deal Of hu'
midlty in the air and the baromelric
pressure is consequently light
From all this It Is very evident that
twlnkling is due not 70 the varying
physical condition Of the star but 70
the condition and the movements Of
the earth's atmosphere Philadelphia

About $50 years ago on a very wet
disagreeable day. man walked
through the STRESS of London carrying
an umbrella.
"And what Of that some one may
say. "You can see hundreds Of peo-
pie doing the same thing on any rainy
day"
That is true. but a century and
half ago you could not have seen
single person in England carrying an
umbrella to protect himself from the
rain. People said. "A man who can
not stand a little wetting Is rather
weak man." and so they allowed ma
ture to sprinkle her showers down
upon them at pleasure
But finally there was a man who
thought differently. and Ia shose days
It took a good deal OF character 70
come out and oppose the old beliefs
and do contrary to public opinion. 10
mas Hanway was strong enough 10 DO
this, and. knowing that be would bc

streets carrying an umbrella over him.

after him. and some of the rudest

use was made Of them. But Jonas
Hanway bore the ridicule and stii car
rled his umbrella until By and by peo-
Die began to think It was not such a
bad idea after ALL and to-day people
think no more Of carrying an umbrella
than they DO OF walking down the
street.

The rearing Of coon-cats IS a coming
Industry. Coon-cats are worth to-day
from five dollars to one hundred dol
lars apiece. and the supply does not
begin 10 meet the demand. Exception
al specimens have been known to fetch
two hundred or even three hundred
dollars. At the present time all Of
them come from Maine. simply for the
reason that the breed is peculiar as
yet TO that State. Their popularity is
such that the business OF breeding
them has been rapidly growing dur
ing the last few years in that part Of
the country. and one shipper not very
far from Bar Harbor exported in 1893
no fewer than three thousand Of the
animals.
Strange to say there are compara-

England who know what coon-cat IS

Interest is added TO the Pacific cable
project by the announcement that
Germany is planning to lay a cable OF
her own across that ocean. to serve
the needs OF her extensive empire and
Of her vast and increasing commerce.
1t should be constantly kept IN mind,
however, that the United States has
most need Of such cable, and has in
comparably the best route along which
TO lay it. We hope It viii ere long be
added that the United States Is first

A few champions Of the American
trotter are uncomfortable because the
number of PAGERS bred in.fhls country
has made remarkable gains in com.
parison with the total Of trotters.
But, after an. what's the harm? II
American breeders and buyers Of fast
animals used in light harness prefer
the PAGER to the trotter, any effort to
balk their preferences win surely be
futile. Lei them have their way with
out lamentations or protests. II the
PAGER in the long run does not justify
his predominance, the trotter will sure
ly come to his own again in due time

In view Of the facts which are now
known IN relation to consumption and
the extent Of the ravagcs thereof it
seems strange that almost no effort
has been made to apply legislative
measures to the restriction Of the dis
ease. and that State tuberculosis sani-
taria are virtually unknown In the
United States for several years tho
annual deaths from consumption have
numbered 10000. while in She civil
lied world the victims have numbered
100000. Yet the scourge Is now re-
earded as durable in its early stages.
and high authorities deny that It Is
hereditary. That much could be done
toward preventing the spread Of tuber-
culosis By the enforcement Of reasona-
bic laws ard by the establishment Of
public sanitarla for its treatment by
specialists few medical men win deny.

Advertising space IN the newspaper
