Roosevelt" says he, . and what i'm.
pressed me most about her was the
fact that when she shakes hands your
hand is nearly crushed. She seized
my hand with the grip Of a wise and it
was so vigorous that it was positively
painful.
But an instance TO show that there
are young women in America of a
more delicately feminine turn of mind

dancer of the professional class at a
certain New York theater The cur

composed of hundreds of champagne
corks on strings. each bearing the
date of supper with some consenial
soul. This goes to show that the
minds of at least some young yankee
girls are full Of poetry.
Il saw strange things while was in
America, and not in the least strange
were the strong boxes of J. p. Morgan
and the Gould family. They are as
large as students bedroom and

empires of wealth stored away in
them. But of course my inspection
did not go so far as to investigate
this point.

THE NATURE OF STARS.
Why They Range From White to
Dull Red In Color.

Dull Red In Color.
The very constitution of stars implies
the presence of some that are dark. F.V
cry one of them is more or less quickly
using up fiery matter which is never
long at one temperature; hence their
range of coIors. from inca ndescent
white or BLUSH white to dull rcd pre-
ceding darkness, the ultimate goal Of
all.
The so called temporary stars. OF
which no fewer than twenty seven have
been noticed in historic time wax and
wane with maximum and minimum,
brilliancy sometimes within the short
period Of sixteen months rs Tvcho's
star III 1872. and then become dark bod
les only to be lit up afresh by the down
fall of vast mass of meteoric matter
from some neighboring swarm.
Many bright stars are known by the
periodic doubling of certain spectral
lines or by curious perturbations to be
attended by dark companions. The
compa Mon of Sirius was found shortly
Sfter its existence was pointed out by
Bessel; SO was the tiny green fellow to
the fiery red Autares. while the dark
companion of Procyon still eludes as

through space. especially in distances

stars to exceed by millions the bright

many of them quite dark to us.
