A Unique Variable Star.

Messrs. Mueller and Kempf have
discovered in the course of their pho.
tometric work at Potsdam a variable
star of so short a period-about four
hours-that it may fairly be called
unique. Up to this time, the variables
that went through a complete cycle
of changes in the shortest time were
two stars in the star cluster Omega
Centauri. These bodies complete their
periods in Z hours II minutes and in Z
'hours 43 minutes respectively. 8
Antlioe has period of hours AZ min,
utes. The 'Potsdam star has a period
about one-half as. long. From mini.
mum to maximum the light changes
at slower rate than from maximum
to minimum. The magnitude varies
from 6-10 to z $40 and the length OF
the period is hours 10 seconds. The
hypothesis that best explains the OBJ.
served phenomena is that two bright
bodies are revolving at a small dis
lance about their common center OF
gravity, the plane of revolution being
nearly in the line of sight.

any misconception, let it be said
here, positively, that writing the word
"Personap ION an envelope will not
deter the secretary from, opening it.
Mr.. Carnegie has gone through the
first letter and makes a short memo
randum on it. The same with several
others. Then he takes up one from
a Western city which tells him that
the authorities there have decided
not to accept his offer Of a library
because public feeling is against
using the required sum from the
municipal treasury every year to
support it. He elevates his eyebrows
in a. shadow of vexation, and dictates
a reply to Bertram, who jots it down
in shorthand. The reply is courteous.
1t expresses regret that the town will
not take library on the terms Of
fered, but declares emphatically that
the conditions which govern all other
library endowments cannot be modi-
fed in this case.
By the time the correspondence is
disposed of, and Mr.. Bertrams note

to turn into typewriter letters. the

of newspapers from other cities, in
America, and abroad, are ready for

Nine! The deep-toned bell of the
cathedral clock in Andrew Carnegie's
mansion at Fifth avenue and Ninety
first street, New York, has chimed
the quarters in musical scale, and

threshold Of his library, his small,

force and nervous energy. He has
said publicly that he is out Of bust
ness for good. He is about to begin
a busy day, in the course Of which
he will accomplish twice as much
work as many a man in the hurly-
burly of lower Broadway who is still
in active command of his forces as a
captain Of industry
System is Andrew Carnegie's
watchword. Although no longer
directing the movements of 100000
employees in the great steel works
and other enterprises with which his
name was so long associated, he con-
tinues to be the man of affairs, and
each day brings it's labors, none the
less exacting because they are pri-
marily for the good of humanity and
not for personal gain.
It is estimated that Mr. Carnegies
income is $15,000,000 a year. Of this
he gives away two-thirds at least.

Perhaps there are tears in the keen
blue eyes Of the great multi-million-
aire and philanthropist, sitting so
quietly before the fire. If there are,
they cannot be seen, for the night
has been closing in and the must

RULERS AND HEIR TITLES.

European Monarchs Have Different
1. !. Ways Of Signing Documents.
Although the late queen of the Brik-
tsh empire was accustomed to use her
imperial title in signing public docu-
ments-"Victoria r. I.'''-her son, and
successor prefers the. more simple
Edward R. This preference was
especially noticeable In his coronation
messages to his subjects last year. To
the people of the United Kingdom he
signed himself Edward r." but it.
was Edward R. l." to the people OF
India and >the colonies. Constitutions
ally this was strictly correct, for the
titles act of 1876 stipulates that the
imperial dignity shall not be used in
Britain, but only in India. It is no.
table and characteristic that the Ger
man emperor, who is emperor only by
reason of his position as king of
Prussia, puts his imperial rank first
and signs william l. R." Sovereigns
always sign at the top of the paper;
hence the phrase, "Given under our
hand and SEAL"
The reason is that no name may ap-
pear above the royal one. When Louis
Philippe visited Queen Victoria at
Windsor they went over Elton. Before
leaving their signatures in the visit
ors' book were requested The bour-
geois king wrote his name first. Eli
quette forbade her majesty to sign
her name below his, ana, with the
readiest tact, she turned over leaf to
write Victoria R." at the top of the
paper. But the haughtiest signature
is that of the king Of Spain, who dis
dams names, and signs himself "Yo
ell Rey'' (''I, the King"). The pope,
unlike other temporal rulers, always
adds his distinguishing mineral, LEO

Occasional Visitors,

A gentleman having an estate in the
Highlands, as he was going abroad for
some time, advertised the shooting to
let, and told his gamekeeper, Donald,
who was to show the ground, to give it
a good character to anyone who called
to see it.
An Englishman came down, and in.
quiring Of Donald as to how it was
stocked with game, first asked if it
had any deer. Donald's reply was:
thousands of them"
"Any grouse"
thousands of them, too"
ANY partridges?"
thousands of them, too"
ANY woodcock?"
"Thoosands of them, too"
The Englishman, thinking Donald
was drawing the long bow, asked il
there were any gorillas. Donald drew
himself up.

New Letter Copvinu Press.

For some years past the copying
press has played an important part in
all business systems where attention
is paid to accuracy and detail, some
times merely as a matter Of convent
ence in keeping records of correspon.
dence, but frequently serving the
more important work of verifying or
ders for goods or showing prices
quoted to customers. With the old
fashioned screw press it is no light
task to make copies of a large num-
Der of letters or bills, considerable
time and strength being required to do
the work satisfactorily.

shown an innovation in this line which
is designed to lessen the exertion and
time necessary to duplicate the steno-

Danger in Both Manias.

There are certain Americans who
are money-mad. They want to make
millions upon millions and make them
in a minute. There are a great many
more Americans who are maddened
by the thought that anybody should
have a million. Between those who
are trying to pile up and those who are
bound to tear down there is a furious
combat, productive of numerous incl
dental casualties among the bystand-
ers. Both parties have been driven
too fast and too, far by their mania.

Exactly how much of his fortune is
dispensed in public and private gifts
no one knows but himself. To dis
tribute money so that the greatest
good to the greatest number shall re-
suit is the business of his life, and
he devotes at least ten hours a day
to this task with all the vigor and
concentrated shrewdness which have
made the former peasant boy of Dun
feminine one of the wealthiest men
in the world.
All, the morning papers! To read
some Of them and look through the
rest is the first thing to be done. Mr.
Carnegie is a rapid reader, and as
his interest extends to all parts of
the world, it is we'll that he is, for he
reads everything in the paper, from
the foreign cable dispatches to a.
skimming over the advertisements.
The papers disposed of, he rings
for his secretary, James ,Bertram, a
Scot, like his employer; quick-witted,
too, or he never would do for Andrew
Carnegie.
"What's new, Bertrand" he asks,
pleasantly, as he picks up one of the
pile of letters which have been placed
at his elbow, open and ready to be
scanned. -
Nothing particular. You will find
several organ requests in that pile
which look all right, and there is an
answer from that Indiana town about
their. library. There are two person
al letters for you, too. Oh, yes, you
have them" =. ,*:= ls% + r ~, .z> W.. =,
This with Scottish directness and

missive that is personal enough IL to
belong only to the. person whose

these are letters from relatives, Of

but there are some which criticise
the use he makes Of his wealth, or
take issue with certain opinions he
may have expressed in speeches,
magazine essays or newspaper inter-
views.
All of these receive due considera-
ton and even when a prominent hum
orist raps him hard-as one did
few weeks ago-he only smiles in
diligently. No one realizes better
than Andrew Carnegie that to be in
the limelight of public view means
many an unkind comment, as well as
a fair quantity of praise, so he takes
the bitter with the sweet with equal
composure. b.
It is now time for luncheon. Mr..
Carnegie steps into one of the auto
matte elevators and is taken to the
dining room. There is not much done
in Mr.. Carnegies room for an hour
'or two after dinner. He has spent
more than an hour at luncheon, in
domestic privacy, and when he re-
turns to his den it is to sit quietly
reading for In hour before the car
rage IS announced for, the afternoon

Narrow Escape from Death:

Fantastic escapes from death were
by no means uncommon features of
the Boer war. There was exhibited
some time ago in the museum Of the
Royal United Service Institution one
of Queen Victoria's chocolate boxes,
in the lid of which is still deeply i'm.
bedded a Mauser bullet. To that
same collection there has just been
added an even more remarkable relic.
This is silver cigarette-holder case,
which was struck by a bullet at a
distance of 1900 yards while it was
in the pocket of a captain of the i'm.
perial yeomanry. The curious part
about it is that the officer was not
aware until afterward' that he had
been struck, although the bullet also
pierced the sovereign purse and Gig.

the same pocket.

AS it is almost impossible to keep the
vessels apart with any rigid connec-
ton, it is the intention of this inventor
to use streams of water as a fender,
creating a current OF sufficient
strength to hold the ships as far apart
as the connecting ropes will permit.
AS will be seen, the water is taken up
through the bottom of the hull and dis
charged at the side, the apparatus only
being used during the operation Of

cry is at standstill thus requiring no
increase in the steam plant of the

improved Locomotive Headlight.
While all the great trunk lines OF
railway are now provided with at
least two tracks, and some with four
tracks, over which to handle their
traffic, there are yet many miles of
single track railway in the country
and head-on collisions are still liable
to happen. It is especially to guard
against accidents of this class in the
night that the improved headlight H.

views are shown, one of the light in
actual use, and the other showing it's
construction and the manner of mount
ing the lenses. In addition to the
horizontal beam of light which an
ordinary headlight throws down the
track, a double lens is mounted in a
tube above the bulls eye, carrying a
portion of the rays of light aloft in an
oblique direction, and making them
visible to tie engineer or fireman of
a train approaching from the opposite
direction. With this attachment on
an engine it's approach may be noticed
several miles away, even though hills
and curves in the road intervene, as
the beam of light extends high enough
into the air to be readily discernibe
