various lesser personages, crowned or

while there is any hope of bringing off
a match between the princess and the

His Awful Biunder.

The careless man perpetrated the
most awful blunder imaginable last
week. 1t is really not a subject for
laughter, and yet some of the mans
friends had to laugh when he discov-
cred his mistake and they saw his rue
full face. Y GU see, the man was going
to send friend bunch of roses as a
Christmas greeting, and at the same
time he ordered wreath sent to the
house OF an acquaintance whose sis
ter had died the night before.
The man is a sympathetic soul, and
he was plunged in woe when he went
to the florists to leave his order be-
cause of this friends distress, so just
how he did it will never be known,
but the card intended for the bunch
of roses was placed on the wreath,
and that meant fer the wreath was
placed on the roses, and the former
went to the house of the dead marked
"A Merry Christmas" and the latter
went to the debutante marked with
deepest sympathy" mix-up that was
ridiculous, however little the subject
calls for laughter, row, wasn't it?-

Instruments Enable Scientists to Meas

In order to calculate the linear We
locity of the earth in it's orbit we
must first know it's distance from the
sun. If we can measure the earth's
velocity the suns distance can be COM
puted. If the velocity can be deter
mined with great accuracy the result
ing value of the suns distance is pro-
portionately precise.
The methods of spectroscopy 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 it's 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 IN it's orbit.
Spectroscopic observations of stellar
velocity in the line of sight are now SO
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

@ is becoming SO d1mcult
that the combined wits of all the
crowned heads of Europe, with pre-
mierS and ambassadors at hand 10
help think, are scarcely equal to SOW
ing it. The obvious remedy for what
has become a really embarrassing sit
uation is to let each young heir to a
throne have his way and marry the
American girl of his choice 1t looks
as if that would be the rule with the
next crop of heirs, but the present
generation of royal parents and or
loyal subjects isn't educated up to it
yet, and no amount of fascination on
the part of the American girl, or wiles
on the part of her mamma will be able
to effect the necessary change while
Europe's thrones hold their present &C.
cupants.
One trouble is that all the royal
young folk are so closely related. In
termarriage has steadily diminished
the wits that crowned heads contain

Winslow are beginning to picture to
themselves a future world ruled by
madmen and idiots. There is not a
royal prince or princess in all Europe
who is not cousin in some degree to
every other prince and princess-and
those who have the same religion and
enough traits in common to make
them sympathetic have, as rule, the
same great-grandparents- fact that
doesn't promise well for the future OF
lmonarchical institutions.
Another result of constant intermar-
rage has been that the present lot of

from mechanically writing beautiful"

acknowledgment that President Roose-
