sign. Very pretty results are also ob- tained in mosaic effects. Among the va rious little articles made of this new me- dium for decoration are photograph frames These are made of cardboard. The wax is heated and dropped on the card then heated again and blended with the pointed end of the stirring rod. Af- ter it is cool the frame may be trimmed with knife or scissors to the desired shape.
 The work is very simple, though some little experience is required to blend the different colors of wax neatly. In the hands of an artist many ingenious and charming pieces may be evolved by the use of the keroo. Effective designs are obtained by spreading a background of dark blue wax upon the desired article and then nearly covering it with drops of bright colored wax which are blended with the rod after having been melted The last thing which the keroo devotee displayed were some fancy seals for en- velopes

You know George is a Yale man and he thought 1t wonder fulIv clever of me when I sent him my Iast letter with a seal like this on it. No. I didn't have to take lessons in It. There's a book of directions that comes with the outfit and-well you see, being naturally artistic does the rest.

"KERoo,' THE LATEST
 IN DECORATIVE ART.

Brooklyn Eagle. What are you doing now?" said the girl who only looked on, to her friend. who went in for every new fad that came along. T suppose you've tired of pyro- graphy and basketry and the last em- broidery stitch. by this time'
 "Oh, as for all that" laughed the oth- CT, "the stitch is no longer new, basketry is back number, and as for typography, that's pretty near a prehistoric myth. So I've given them up. Besides, it's well to be off with the old love, you know, before you're on with the new. Guess what my new love is. No, you may as well give 1t up. for, of course, you never heard of 1t. Its name is 'Keroo. Isn't that deliciously musical and mysterious?"
 'But what does it do, or what do you do with it?" queried the properly mystified friend.
 Well. in the first place, you must know that the word is of classical origin; it Is Greek, and means to cover with wax Now, I've always just dotted upon all those lovely colored sticks of sealing wax, and longed to do something more with them than to drop stupid little daubs on an envelope and, presto! here's the very thing. Here's my outfit"
 It consisted of small alcohol lamp a wooden block, upon which the lamp stood and metal plate supported over the lamp by three brass rods. Then there were sticks of sealing walk of every con- ceivable hue. an aluminium stirring rod and square of glass upon which the hot sticks are laid after being used.

ASTRONOMY IN JUNE
SIGHTS TO BE SEEN IN THE

Stars and Consultations Which Will Be Particularly Brilliant During the Present Month-oppor- tunity to Get Good Look

New York Times.

New York Times.
 Looking up at about o'clock in the June evenings into cloudiess sky. one may notice near the north and south line or the meridian. as 1t Is technically known. very brilliant star of the first magnitude. This star Is Afcturus, the brightest fixed star above Sirius that can be seen in our latitude. and it ranks fourth in the whole list of first magni- tude stars. Although Arcturus will not likely be confounded with any other star. 1t may also be recognized by the large equilateral triangle of which 1t and Spica in Virgo and Denebola in the Lion mark the vertices. It is held that certain lines judiciously drawn on the map of the heavens form better system of mne- monies as to the consultations and the positions of certain fixed stars than any thing else. The method should most strongly recommend, itself to the student of uranography
 Arcturus Is the principal star in the constellation Bootes, or the Huntsman. Of all the stars the proper motions of which have been detected, Arcturus is the swiftest. Northeast of Arcturus and also on the meridian the beautiful constella- tion of Corona Borealis, or the Northern Crown, Is too conspicuous not to catch the eye of the scrutinizing star-gazer The chief characteristics of this group, which with the aid of small bit of imagina- tion can be made out, is its resemblance to crown. formed by six faint stars and one bright one called Alphacea, or Gemma.
 East of the Spica is the zodiacal constel- lation of Libra, or the Balance, a rather inconspicuous star group, of which Beta and Gamma are of the second magnitude.

APPEARANCES AGAINST HIM.
His Distrust of Circumstantial Evil dence Based on Experience.

His Distrust of Circumstantial Evil
 dence Based on Experience.
 A very reputable Providence man was relating Uan adventure of his the other evening to a party of friends, says The Providence (R. I.) Journal.
 'If I were on a jury" he said, 'I'd never convict man on circumstantial evidence, and I'll tell you why; I've seen so many instances where appearances were entirely against innocent persons that I've come to the conclusion that direct evidence of guilt is the only sat- isfying kind.
 Yesterday came home from New York on the through express. In my suit case was a small phial of whiskey that my wife had packed for me in case of emergency. I always have a flask of whiskey for such use when I travel, but the flask couldn't be found when I left home. so my wife hunted up glass bot tie. with an ordinary cork stopper.
 When the porter dropped the bag on the floor of the drawing room car he dropped 1t hard, and when I opened the bag I found a pretty state of affairs. The whiskey was over everything and a de- cided alcoholic aroma was waited all around the car. My travelling cap, for which I had been hunting, was satur- ated, so l put 1t on the steam pipes, alongside my chair. to dry.
 Pretty soon noticed the lady in front snifing the air with regular W. c. T. U. scornfulness. There wasn't anything for me to say. so I didn't say anything. But I thought lot.
 After a while I went forward to have smoke and as I came back through the car the engine struck a curve. The result was lurched like a man who had been ten nights in a bar room, and as reached the aforesaid lady almost sprawled in her lap. looked away from her as soon as I could, but not soon enough to escape the soul-piercing. hu- initiating flash from her eye Then I sat down in confusion and longed for the journey to end.
 But when we got to Providence found Cousin Sarah at the station to welcome this much-offended maiden. "Heaven!" exclaimed to myself what story Sarah will hear about mev But went home and, being tired after the long trip, lay down for the rest of the afternoon.
 'Tn the evening I heard that my little girl had been over at Cousin Sarah's guest from New York. Did your father come homer asked Sarah. Yes said my daughter, but he doesn't feel very well. He's lying down ever since he came.
 That rounded out the circle of testi- mony against me. Do you suppose that my friend of the drawing room car will ever be convinced that I was sober?"

ing crescent, while two days later old Neptune received call. The record for
 the month closes on the 18th, when the three days' old crescent and Venus ex-
 change planetary gossip.
 Hats off to Uranus! is the order
 throughout the celestial brotherhood for
 this month On the 18th this distant
 though beautiful central body will be in
 opposition with the sun. and will come
 up over the eastern horizon just as the sun is about ready to disappear on the other side, This is the most favorable time to have a look at the planet, and those provided with sufficiently powerful glasses will have the pleasure of seeing our distant neighbor in his best garbs.
 Mercury, on the 1st. will be in inferior conjunction with the sun. and after that date and throughout the month will be morning star as 1t is moving to the westward. On the 27th the planet reaches its greatest elongation to the westward. and will be visible for two or three days each side of that date in the early morn- ing hours.
 Mars and the moon are together on the Sd. and July will hardly have taken the place of June before the two are again exchanging news. Mars is still an even- ing star and will continue the rest of the year as one of that group Mars Is now on our meridian at about 7:3o. and we find him not having very much of an altitude at that time as ne IS we'll down to the southward-in fact, he has south declination after the first few days and does not again get north declination un- til after the close of the year.
 Jupiter is in quadrature with the sun on the 18th. and is in conjunction with the moon some four days later. Although at this last meeting considerable blue sky intervenes between the two celestial bodies, the meeting will not by any man. ner of means be unworthy of our watch ing. To be sure, one has to rise early as Jupiter will remain a morning star un- til September.
 Saturn Is also a morning star for an- other month. He is gradually increasing in size, and will be very attractive as he rises soon after sunset, and remains in sight the remainder of the night. His soft. mellow light will adorn the mid- summer sky as one of its chief attrac- tions.
 Neptune is 8 morning star after the 18th, and will be classed as such until the year is almost gone. On the date above mentioned he will be in conjunc- ton with the sun, and depart from the ranks of the evening stars, in which he has served faithfully If not brilliantly. Venus is still a beautiful object to feast our eyes upon, and as she does not set until after 10 o'clock. she forms by far the most conspicuous gem in the evening sky. She will reach in the early part of July her furthest point to the eastward of the sun. when she will once more turn away from us. but we shall hold on to her until September. What lovely specu- | Iations she always lends a willing and | ear to!

THE SECRET.
Now Doctors Protect Themselves
 From Contagious Diseases.

Doctors rarely catch contagious dis cases Almost everybody knows this. but few know how they escape. Many believe that the doctor has some charm or antiseptic which protects him. Dr. Hartman lately made the truth of this matter public, that all might realize it's benefit Contagious diseases are con- veyed my minute organisms known as disease germs. These germs find their entrance into the system through the mucous membrane. If the mucous membrane is healthy. they cannot get into the system. If the mucous mem brane Is affected by catarrh the germs find easy access. Catarrhal secretions furnish exactly the material upon which they thrive and multiply. To get rid of the catarrh and thus preserve the mucous membrane healthy, is the only way to be safe from contagious diseases This explains why 1t is that some people catch diseases easier than others.
 Every one is exposed just the same.

WONDERS OF RADIUM !.
It is Worth Fully $500 Times its
 Weight in Gold.

Chicago Record Herald
 If the new element, radium could by any possibility be secured in quantities and at a cost fitting 1t for commercial uses, 1t would be by all odds the most powerful force which human beings had ever brought under their control. To make 1t work all one needs to do is to have it gives off so much heat that it will melt more than it's own weight of ice in an hour. A fragment of 1t held near the skin will quickly produce an open sore. It is so powerful that M. Curie. its dis coverer, says that pound of 1t in room would probably kill everybody present And it does all It's work with such a slight loss of weight that scientists figure that it would lose only one grain from each square inch of surface in a thous- and million years.
 But in the getting of 1t lies the trouble. Some facts as to its scarcity are given in the current number of the Nineteenth Century, and After and oc the Contempo- rary Review. It is obtained only from the mineral pitchblende where 1t occurs in such minute quantities that 1t would re- quire over 400 tons of the mineral to yield a pound troy of radium. The pitchblende Is itself so scarce that a rough guess has been made that all there Is of 1t on earth would not yield over two tons of radium. Only a pound Jf radium compounds and only a few grains of the pure element were obtained by N, and Mne. Curie in three years work. and the cost was so great that 1t came to about $500 times the cost of an equal weight of gold.
 Of the many theories concerning radlum which scientists are advancing the gen orally accepted one is that It's radiation is due to the dissolving or explosion of ntoms, which hurl of volleys of their component electrons. An interesting ap- plication of this theory to the radiating power of the sun has been suggested by the supposition that other elements can deconpose in much the same way under proper conditions. If this were the case the suns power of radiation could be ac- counted for without recourse to any me teoric or other hypothesis.
