SEEING FAINT STARS.


Astronomers have usually put the
limit Of vision, without instrumental
aid. at the sixth magnitude. A good
deal depends, Of course, on the clearness
of the sky and the steadiness OF the air.
What iscalled good seeing occurs srath-
Ell infrequently. Successful observation
results also from practice Still when
both the observer and the conditions
under which he works are above the ay-
erage, anything fainter than a magni-
tude Of 6.2 or 6.3 has not been regarded
as visible This fact lends interest to
an investigation recently undertaken by
Heber D. Curtis, at the Lick obserya-
tory, reports the New York Tribune.
1t may be added. to render what follows
more Ineligible, that a star of one
magnitude is supposed to be two and a
half times brighter than a star of the
next lower magnitude A fifth magni-
tude star is more brilliant than one of
the sixth.
Part of the difficulty in seeing stars
grows out of the faint illumination all
ready in the sky in consequence of re-
fiections from small particles of dust.
The moon is a sad mischief maker.
Even an inexperienced observer can de-
tect the difference in the distinctness of
the stars on the nights when there is
moon and when there is not. 1t has been
suspected, though, that even on noon
less nights the surrounding stars alone
detracted from the distinctness of any
faint object by 1essening the blackness
of the background What Mr. Curtis
did, therefore, was to arrange tele-
scope in such way as to reduce it's APP
erture to a small hole, and thus shut
out as much starlight as possible.
For this experiment he removed the
lenses, of course, for he wanted to test
the power Of the naked eye. His rea-
sons for using a telescope at all were
that he could thereby better exclude all
superHuous light, and that he could tell
exactly what he was looking at. He
worked with the tube of the Pinch
glass, which had length Of 18 feet. At
each end he placed a thin metal screen.
Each screen was pierced with a hole OF
a quarter of an inch in diameter Under
these circumstances he observed II
stars, which could be identified by their
position beyond doubt. He could de-
termine their celestial latitude and lon
gitude-declination and right ascen-
sion, an astronomer would call them
by reading certain scales attached to
the telescope. There could be no mis-
take as to their identity. Subsequently
he looked them up in standard cata-
logues for their magnitude. They
ranged all the way from 6.52 to S.5. To
represent the limit of his own vision, he
says that, without using the tube or
screens, on one of the nights when the
experiments were in progress he de-
tected a star near T. Virgins, which
is rated at 6.5S. The precaution resort
ed to extended his own ability to see by
two full magnitudes In other words,
he saw stars six times fainter than be-
fore.

The excursion to Monte Ne sunday
was revelation TO those who took
advantage OF it. The round trip
tickets we're sold for 81 Is. The ex-
cursionists left Vinlta at 6 m, and
after a delightful run Of 81 hours,
first through we'll tllled country,
then the mountains, where beautiful
scenery rested the eye, and made the
Journey seem too short. The mosb'
striking scene was "The Degil's Eye
brow. From The car window you
can see three mountains and their In
tervening valleys meet, forming
grand and magnificent panorama as
the train speeds by.
Monte Ne is on brauch road built
and owned by the well known "Coi n"
Harvey, author Of COINS Financial
School" and several other books. He
is also owner OF the greater part OF
Monte Ne. He mas had the advan-
tage OF an ideal spot on which to es-
tabllsh his summer resort, and he has
added to, but moi marred natures
handiwork. Everything is 10 keeping
with the place.
The depot, not yet completed, is a
large and picturesque structure Of un-
barked logs, rustic and simple, but
restfuland artistic. The two watt
ing rooms are open from about four
feet at the base, to the caves, VIII ich
project enough for shade.
The lake lies near and is OF crystal
clear water, through which you can
see the pebbly bed except covered by
the waving seaweed and water plants.
This lake is fed by numerous springs
that are we'll kept and walled with
Stone in a manner true to nature. At
either end OF the lake is boat land
ing, where you can take boat from
the depot, under the big stone bridge
and several smaller one, to the Big
Monte Ne Hotel, and vice versa.
Among the boats is Venetian
Gondola propelled by one large oar 10
the hands of gondoller not so pic
turesque as those OF Venice, neither
did be sing at his work For ten cents
you can make the trip by boat or
hack. The grounds are set in clover,
and large forest trees shade as well
as afford place for swings for the
small folks. Seats are also provided
for the weary every where.
For those who cannot spend the
hot months in Colorado and the
mountains OF the west, here is a
chance for relaxation and rest within
five hours of home and at moderate
cost.
For the young people and old who
are frolicsomly inclined is the audi
torium, a summer theatre and b all
room on the secord floor, open all
around and supplied with heavy ca
vas curtains that can be lowered oI
raised at will. The floor Is waxed and
is delightful FOR dancing.
They have as6ne stripg band which
gave a concert in this hall IN the
afternoon. Later, the brass band
gave an open air concert on the ball
cony OF the Monte. Ne hotel.

A TICKET AGENTS TROUBLES.
He Was Much Harassed Because He
Didn't Know a Man by the
Name of Peters.

A young man called up a ticket Office
the other day: Whats the fare TO
Buffalo, round trip?" he asked, relates
the Buffalo News.
I'VE haven't any round-trip tickets
answered the voice from the other end.
well, what's the fare one way?"
''Ten dollars"
Then the round trip would be $40,
wouldn't it?"
Il don't know"
@Well, it would be fair to presume
that it would be, don't you think?"
Cant take anything for granted
these days."
Seems to me you railroad people
don't know very much, or If you do
you don't care to tell it,"
"Scrry you don't like us"
Il don't"
Tell you what, old man, don't you
travel by railroad any more; take
canal boat They're always handy, and
they say some Of the mule drivers are
very polished gentlemen. Good-by."
"Good-by"
Vacation times are not the happlest
days that are spent by the clerks in
railroad ticket office Sometimes their
patience gives out, and no one wonders
much.
Yesterday. for instance, an elderly
woman wanted a ticket to Laurel
Maryland or Delaware?' asked the
ticket seller
Il don't know. Just Laurel. Ever
so many people go there. My nephew
lives there, His name is Peters He's
an undertaken. I suppose you know
now which one l want"
mo, madam, I can't say that do
Suppose you go home and find out
which state your nephew lives in. 1t
will be quite the safest way. No use
starting off on a wild-goose chase.
"But you sell my nephew tickets
about once every three months" per
sisted the woman. IF you think, l
am sure you will remember him. He
has a red mustache and one front
tooth is gone. He is going to have it
put in the next time he comes to Bal
IluOTet Dul IL gOu NC CNCA oSOh H4A-
you surely must remember him. Are
you the only person who sells tickets
at this window?"
Il am not"
well, then, if you'll just call the
other people who do, l am sure one Of
them will know him. He is about your
build, only little taller, and with gray
eyes"
'The other gentlemen are not in"
Then I'll wait for them"
But they are almost certain not to
know him"
Eyes. they will. Peters is well
known"
''very good" said the ticket agent.
YEARLY; wait, then. They will be
here within the next ten hours"
But the woman walked out, grum-
bling.
The ticket seller isn't always the
most amiable Of men, but he has soule
reason for his tempers.

of the committee l was continually on
the ground and watched the work
closely. When / found that the work
was not being done in a way which l
thought was best, interpOsed with
those in charge AS they would not
act on my instruction l took it up with
the mayor and he directed me to have
the work done the way l thought best.
At the same time he advised me to
purchase the extra lumber which 1
deemed necessary to put the bridge in
first class condition. But before 1
ordered the lumber l consulted with
Councilman Mclean, another member
of the committee, and after l had ex-
planned to him my plan he conceded
with me. Then l ordered the lumber
and gave instructions as to how the
bridge was to be constructed. l did
not see Councilman Smith, the other
member of the committee, and consult
with him regarding the matter. When
the matter was brought UP in the
council at a special meeting, l was not
in attendance being detained at home

the travelling public to have it put

being put on again it is believed that
the Washington & Columbia river rail-

to put on a passenger train between
Dayton and Pasco to make connec-
tons with the Northern Pacific. 1t
has also been suggested that a

The Ennis Annex Placed on
the Market
IS IN JOHN P. KENT'S HANDS
New Suburban Tract Consists OF 4
Acres and Has Been Sub-Divided
Into Acre Tracts.

Final arrangements for placing wal
la Walla's new suburb, the Ennis an
mex, on the market have been complet-
ed and the property will go on sale
tomorrow morning. Mr.. Ennis has
placed the property in the hands OF
John P Kent as agent. The tract,
which is known as the old Aeils prop
erty, consisting of 70 acres and regard
ed as one of the finest suburban tracts
around Walla Walla, has been divided
into acre tracts ranging from .55 OF an
acre to 1872 acres.
Surveyor Sayles has been at work
for several weeks surveying the prop
erty and laying out the streets of
which there are six, designated as fol-
lows: River, Terrace, Garden and
Evergreen, running north and south
and Blue and Green, running east and
west. For several years the land has
been under lease to Chinese garden
ers who have placed it under a high
state of cultivation. Many of the
tracts are covered with bearing fruit
trees and berry bushes.
Considering the excellent location of
the property the price placed on the
tracts is considered extremely low,
ranging from $4OO up. The slaughter
house of the Walla Walla Meat COM
pany, located on the extreme east end
of the tract, will be removed as soon
as the company's new plant north of
the city is completed. The new plant
is we'll under way and the contractors
expect to have it completed within
fOur weeks
