Reimann has determined the ratio of
the two comparing the apparent
diameter of the sun seen through a
colored glass with the apparent size
of hole in a piece of pasteboard at a
distance from the eye. and finds that
the apparent diameter of the sun
on the meridian at an altitude of 55
degrees is to its apparent diameter at
setting as | to 3.32. The true dia.
meter does not vary. and hence these
numbers have only a physiological
meaning and show that the form of
the celestial vault conceived by us is
that of flattened ellipsoid. The ap.
parent diameter of the sun is sub.
stantially proportional to the length
of the ray which traverses our at.
mosphere.

A Swift F1yinQ Star.

A faint star in the Great Bear known
as 1880 Groombridge" Is famous
among astronomers on account Of Its
rapid motion. Recently 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 $50 miles per second. At the same
time II is drawing nearer the earth at
the rate of 5S or 60 miles per second.
But Its distance Is so great that light
moving 10000 miles per second, re-
qHires more than 20 years to pass from
the star to the earth. The spectrum Of
1880 GrOombridge" bears much re-
semblaRce to that Of the sun.

DOn't Dine Alone.

How many people dine aloneY The
restaurants all number solitary diners
among their regular clientage. How
many thousands Of people. men or wo-
men, will eat lone dinner or supper
tonight in the cities and towns and
hamlets Of Chrlstendom? The evil Of
eating alone is the subject Of an ear
nest although cheerful warning from
the London Lancet The hygienic val
ue Of gregarious dining is insisted up
on. The necessity Of taking food in
social fashion Is an inherent racial sort
Of thing. and those who go against 1t
for years usually have to pay for it
with some of the Ills of indigestion.
Breakfasting alone is not bad for a
busy generation. but dining alone Is
not a habit to be long continued, in CIV
ilization or out of It, without disastrous
results.

Fhe Church Debt Raised,

Edward Kimball, who died in Chica-
60 the other day, became well known
years ago through his success in rails
ing church debts. When he lived in
Boston, more than 90 years ago. he
taught q class In the Mount Vernon
church Sunday school and had D. l..
Moody as one Of his pupils.
''The amount of church debts raised
by him." says the Chicago Tribune,
has been estimated at more than S1O,-
100000. Among the churches that have
been aided by Mr.. KimbalPs efforts are
the Lincoln lark and the Union Park
Congregational churches and the I'm
manuel Baptist church Of Chicago. The
largest debt raised by him was that OF
DR.. Robinson's Presbyterian church Of
New York city. where $4,000 was
raised at two meetings. Although not
a remarkably eloquent speaker, the
force and sincerity of Mr.. Kimball
gained success where oratorical efforts
had failed. He was possessed Of q COM
mandlng presence, being over six feet
in height. and until few months be-
fore his death had maintained vigorous
health"

ers, costing about four hundred dol

which continually accumulate on the
shores of the farm from the ocean
and Mschipungo Creek possess great
fertilizing properties for all crops and
especially sweet potatoes.
Wild fowl, clans, oysters and fish
are in abundance. Rarely indeed is
such desirable and profitable farm
offered for sale-combining all the
elements of pleasure, sport, comfort
and profit in such pre-eminent de-
gree. l deem it unnecessary to say
more as persons wishing to purchase

was erected In 1882 and was restored
in 1894 as nearly as possible to its
original condition and appearance. 1t
is q beautiful old structure Of early
English Gothic, with mullioned win
dows and a stately tower, and has been
used for public worship almost con-
tinually for two centuries and a half.

\ GLORIOUS NIGHT SCENE.
Tho Electrical Illumination Mt the
RuffaIa Exposition.

Buffalo Exposition.
They have staged electricity at Bur
falo this summer. and they call 1t the
Pan-American exposition, says Eugene
II. White In The Atlantic. 1t took
rectangle of $50 acres for the stage and
over $1O,OO0,OOO 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
ing Of Niagara Is the one unforgettable
thing about the affair. 49, Somewhere
over In Canada has sunk the red ball OF
the sun, touching resplendently as he
went the gold and blue Of dome ana
final. 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 ana
there a band strikes up. Dim like an
exhalation Is the picture now, ana
peryasive hush is over the scene. The
splash Of the fountains Is Of sudden
load. The statues Whisper together
The people are silent.
There glOws, before one knows 1t,
premonltory 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 loOkl The great
tower itself Is blushing low red. The
red is angry now, sharper, and there
daylight is almost here again. Each
building has glimmered into light
Electricity has mounted her splendent
throne.
But 1t ia not daylight; 1t Is something
almost better-refined daylight. Less
frank, less brutal, less modern. Sud
denly from everywhere there has come
a light which Is more than a glow, but
less than glare. The exposition In
second or 80 has grown from city Of
shadows to vision Of light. And such
a vision and such light!
Expeditions, like men, thought the
managers, should hitch their wagons to

its glorious vain to the Pleiades. 1t

dable stars" called incandescent lights.
1t is no mere picking out the outline OF
a building In a row of lights. 1t is re-
creating the architecture in a softer
beauty, which, standing against the
blxe velvet Of the sky, gives us a pic
ture hitherto not possible even III

ings, domes. wall spaces. all have burst
into light. Metaphor has spent itself
and become outworn upon previous eff
forts which were not fraction OF what

BolTON'e LAST YEAR.
The Way He Spent II Preparing Fes

to the New York Sun. His brewery
In Lansingburg was profitable con-

sicians told him that he had Bright's
disease and that he surely would not
live more than a year. Billy took their
word for II and made up his mind to
make the fur fly while life was left.
he had never travelled much, and so he
decided to go around the world.
"He took with him congenial friend
and plenty Of money, and away they
went. They left trail Of fire and ash
es through oil the capitals of Europe
and the queer and strange places Of
Asia and Africa. After nine months
they came back, and Bolton brought
with him the most marvellous collection
of souvenirs and presents that any
man not professional collector ever
brought into this country. The duties
amounted to $4,000.
Arrived In Lansingburg, Billy hired
the town hall, sent his packing boxes
filed with these oriental and European
treasures up to the hall and had them
all taken out and put on exhibition as
though for church fair Upon each
article he marked the name of some
friend whom he wished to remember
with gift. There were hundreds IN
this category, but Billy had presents
for them all.
"On the day appointed for the pres
entation he invited his army of friends
to the town hall. TO each he turned
over the present selected for him, and
amid the cheers of his grateful and ad
miring fellow townsmen the hall was
stripped of its beautiful things.
"When the last present had been
placed In the hands Of its recipient,
Billy went back to his home and lay
down to die. Within the year his ply
slcians' prophecy came true. and the
town gave him the finest funeral that
any man ever had"
