When the late DR.. Emil Holub under

had only 5000 in his pocket. On the
way there be nearly lost his life by be-
ing washed overheard by a huge wave.
BY practicing medicine In the British
goldhelds he earned enough money to
go on his first exploring trip. He was
long held captive by native chief. but
finally succeeded in getting back to
civilization with collections worth To-
600 fiorins. which he gave as presents
to Austrian institutions. BY lecturing
he then made $4,000, and. with some
further aid from the Austrian gov
eminent, he undertook his second trip.
accompanied by his young wife. The
results OF this trip were exhibited in
Vienna in 1887. The last years OF his
life were spent in poverty. His books
no longer sold. and malarial fever
weakened him so that he Could not
lecture any more. With the beginning
OF this year the Austrian government
granted him an annual pension OF 8. o00
crowns. but he lived only two months
to enjoy it.

"THIE NEW STAR"
Some. Unexpected and Startling
Changes Detected.

Changes Detected.
A little over a year ago the most re-
markabie "new or temporary star" OF
modern times appeared ia the constel-
lation Perseus. says Professor Wins
low Upton of Brown university In tho
providence Journal. The star was not
In any catalogue, and two days before
discovery Ii was not bright enough to
be shown on Photographic plate Of
the region containing stars which have
but one one-hundredth of the light CIV
en- out by the faintest star visible to
the naked eye.
On Feb. %, two days after discov-
cry, 1t reached its greatest brightness,
when ittwas as bright as Capella, the
third star in order of brightness in the
whole heavens. 1t waned slowly and
with several marked fluctuations in its
light and in two months was on the
limit OF visibility with the naked eye.
1T Is still easily visible in telescopes of
small size.
During its decrease In brightness it
changed color from white to dull red
and is now somewhat greenish In tint.
The spectrum was at first continuous,
such as rs given by the light from a
glowing solid or liquid body or from a
gas under pressure; then bright bands
were formed, which later assumed the
form and position of the bands In the
spectra of nebul@. All these changes
We're expected as they followed closely
the history of similar stars in recent
years.
But within few months most unex-
pected and startling changes have oc-
Cured. which have made the star once
more the chief object of interest in the
sky. The nebula which surrounds the
star or into which the star has been
changed has been successfully pho
tographed at several observatories
which are equipped with telescopes of
great power, and it contains several
centers of condensation whose posi-
tons are shifting so rapidly that their
motion can be detected in photographs
taken but several days apart.
Careful attempts to determine the
parallax of the star show that 1t is
inappreciable; the star, therefore, is at
very great distance from the earth.
There seems to be no doubt that the
actual motion in the nebula is greater
than anything heretofore detected. The
velocity must be as great as that with
which light travels and the nature of
such motion is as mysterious as that
of light itself. Already the theories
which attempt to account for the birth
and life history of the various bodies
in the universe are being remodeled
TO include these newly discovered facts,
and the new theories will probably suf-
fer later rejection when more facts are
found which conflict with them.
The mysteries OF the universe be-
come more unfathomable the deeper
we are permitted to explore them, and
as knowledge increases the extent Of
that which still remains 10 be explained
increases also.

THE LOVING CUP.
An Interesting Legend That Tells
How IL Originated.

How It Originated.
Once upon time. centuries before
us, there lived great and powerful
King who was extremely fond of hunt
lug. He was one day in forest pur-
suing stag. but II was so fleet and
clever that il eluded him and his band
OF followers and led them entirely out
of their way. After wandering about
In hopeless fashion they finally came
upon q little hut, and the king himself
dismourted and raped smartly upon
the door.
A young girl answered his knock and
soon showed the men the right path.
The king was about to go, when he
saw well near the house. and at the
sight of the clear water Immediately
felt thirsty, and, going back, asked the
girl for drink. Without hesitation
she went into the house and came out
with an earthen jug filed with the
well water. But instead of Offering his
royal majesty the handle, as most peo-
pie would do, she held that herself
and handed him the cup the wrong
way.
The king said nothing, thanked the
girl and he and his band soon found
their way out of the wood.
But when he reached his palace he
determined to reward the girl for Civ
Ing him the water and at the same
time to teach her a lesson in politeness.
Sending to his jeweler, he babe him
make q silver cup with two handles
and deliver it TO the young girl with
out word as to whence it came.
Perhaps month after this the king
again hunted in that same forest,
sought the hut and asked the girl for
another drink of water.
This time she entered the house and
came out with q beautiful silver cup
full of the sparkling water. "Now,"
said the king, "she has certainly learn
cd q lesson" But never was he more
mistaken. for the poor. ignorant girl
took a handle in each hand and for
the second time offered her liege lord
nothing save the side of the cup.
The king rode away deeply perplexed.
He resolved to teach the girl the po-
lite way to hand cup without directly
rebuking her, and many were the hours
spent in cudgeling his brain for some
way in which to do il. At last bright

make me-" said he to the man, ga
silver cup, heavily chased and with
my royal crest, and put three handles
on it." The teweler. much surprised
for, remember. no such thing had ever
been heard Of up to this time--did as
he was told, and soon the mug was
finished. AS before. the king had it
privately sent to the girl who lived in
the little hut
One day not long after this for the
third time he rode into that forest and.
taking the now well known path, soon
reached the cottage. DismountiDg, he
knocked at the door and asked humbly
for a drink OF clear water.
The girl Immediately came out with
the beautiful three handled cup and,
taking two of the handles in her hands,
she offered him the third.
SO the king rode away well pleased
with his strategy and, reaching home,
ordered three handled cups to be made
in every sort of ware, and they be-
came so popular that we now have
them in all our shops and stores.-De-
