FOUR IMAGES OF THE MOON.
Little Trick by Which Odd Rsnee-
tioas of Luna Can De Seen
In . Mirror.

Some night when the moon is at its
outdoors with hand mirror and hold
it so that the moons image will fai,
on il. Make the experiment, prefer
ably. when the moon is well up in the
heavens, says the Chicago Record-Her-
AID.
Instead of seeing one image, as you
will expect, you will see four. One OF
these images will be very bright, but
the other three will be dull, like un
FURNISHED silver. They will be in a
straight line. one of the dull images
on one sid. OF the bright image and
two on the other side of it. Turn the
mirror slowly around and the images
will appear to reyolve around COM
mon center.
The explanation of this queer little
phenomenon may be found in the fact
that there are two surfaces in a mir
ror, one in front and the other in the
back, where the quicksilver is.
The brightest of the images IS from
the moon itself; the others are what
are known as secondary images, re-
fected from the front to the back of
the mirror, and thence to the eye.
A similar experiment may be made
with the planets Venus, Jupiter and
Mars. or with any Of the first magni-
tude stars, such as Sirius, Capella,
Arcturus, Vega and Antares.
The planets and the stars, however,
make only three images, the number
of images depending on the breadth
of the object. A perfectly clear night

lope. The days festivities were con-
cluded with a ball, at which the grand

magnificent display of fireworks last

To Remove Rare Furniture.

Mrs. James G. Blaine will remove
the rare furniture from the Blaine
house on Dupont circle, Washington,
which was sold to Mrs. Westinghouse,
of Pennsylvania, in the near future,
putting all OF the historic pieces and
those connected in any way with the
life of the dead statesman in her X
street house, while the rest will be
sold. James g. Blaine was more
welded to the old house in Lafayette
square than to any other spot in
Washington, and spent brief time
in the Dupont circle house. Mrs.
Blaine lived there short time after
his death, but the house was too
large for the family, and Mrs. Blaine
soon rented it, removing to the house
in X street, two doors removed from
the home of Attorney General Knox.
