His hands and arms were slender.
and tapered very gracefully and gent

which were very tender. gantlemanly
and lady-like. In fact. his hands were
truly remarkable for their roseate
softness and lily-white, feminine deli
cacy. You could have judged Of his
nobility by his hands.
His face was rather oval-tapering
in its contour rather suddenly to the
chin, which was very classical-and
especially when he smiled, really
handsome. His c~ountenance was
tropical in its aspect-precisely the
of his heart, which, like the
fountains Of Solomon, had long been
kept sealed up, as something sacred,
from the vulgar gaze of the world

any n time, putting on a sickly, sal.
low and rather pa!lid hue-but eve

position. His digestion was always
good-which is prina .acie evidence
that he was never a student.
His dress vas always remarkably
neat for one in his circumstances
But do not believe that 1t would have
done for him to have had money. He
was ruined in his youth. His college
life in Virginia was the cause of all

VELOCITY OF THE EARTH.

ure It With Exact:tude.


In order to calculate the linear We
locity of the earth in its orbit we
must first know its distance from the
sun. If we can measure the earth's
velocity the suns distance al be com.
puted. II the velocity can be deter
mined with great accuracy the result.
ing value of the suns distance Is pro-
po%rtionately precise.
The methods of sp%ectroscopy have
been so far improved that We are with
in measurable distance of determin'
ing the solar parallax by spectroscopic
observations.
If any star near the zodiac be OBJ
served with the spectroscope at the
two seasons when its longitude differs
from that of the sun by ninety de-
grees, we can deduce not only the We
locity Of the star along the line join
ing star and earth. but also the mean
velocity of the earth n its orbit.
Spectroscopic observations of stellar
velocity in the line Of sight are now sc
good that the value Of the solar dis
lance which may be had on the prin
ciple described is at least Of the same
order of accuracy as values derived
from cider methods.-New York Sun

from the trusses Of the roof. There
will be no pillars on the main floor.
The building will require 10000
brick. besides the timbers for the roof

innings. The windows ON the sides Of
the building viii be quite large, Of .
pleasing style of architecture, and with
those in the ends. will make the hall
very light and airy. There will be q
large entrance in the west wall but
none In the east. The basement rooms
will be reached from the east end of
the building. The track In the bal
