among the brighter ones are several whose
distances are UNNECESSARILY greater the
brightest star in the heavens after glorious
Sirius Alpha Argus or Campus. is an ex-
ample of that class, for it Is immensely
more distant from us than Sirius. which
Is really one of our sidereal neighbors. The
brightness Of star depends upon the rays
which It throws out into space, but the
trouble is that not all the rays which
come from a star are visible to our eyes
as light. But all the radiance. whether
1t is visible or not, may be absorbed by
dark surface and then manifests its in
tensity by the heat II produces in that sur
face The amount of heat produced would
therefore be a precise measure of the ra-
diane Of a star. but here aga.n the trouble
lies an that the l.eating effect of the rays
from a star can not be accurately measured
by any instrument. We are consequently
confined to the light emitted by the star
This light can be measured only by its
effect on the optic nerve. and this effect
can be measured only by estimation. The
fact that the stara differ in color Is an
other impeachment to obtaining strict re-
suits. Two stars OF different color which
look equal to the naked eve will not look
equal in the telescope. The red or yellow
star will look relatively brighter in the
telescope, while the green or blush one
will look relatively brighter to the naked
eye

June evenings see one Of those gems on

est star in the constellation Boo;es or the
Huntsman and the brightest OF all the
fixed stars in the northern hemisphere.
Northeast of Arcturus We see the four
stars, Beta, CANINE, Delta and Epsilon,
that form a somewhat irregular cross, the
northernmost. Beta, marking the head OF
the mighty hunter. Due east from this
cross we behold a semi-circle of stars
which constitute the main CONFORMATION OF
the beautiful little constellation Coronea
Borealis, or the Northern Crown. The
brightest of this diedem of stars is Alpha
Coronea Borealis. also known by the two
other names of Comma and Alphacca
Southeast of Arcturus and due east OF
Spica in the Virgin is the zodiacal constel-
lation Libra, or the Balance, which may be
recognized by its proximity to the bril-
liant constellation scorpio and also by a
trapezoid of stars formed by joining the
stars Alpha, Iota, Gamma and Beta, the
last one of which is the northernmost OF

TIGER HARD TO POISON.
Lion Usually Falls an Easy Victim, as
He Eats Voraciously.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Wolves, tigers, leopards and other car
nivora are difficult to poison because of the
power which they have of rapidly getting
rid of the drug. Lions, on the other hand.
are very frequently poisoned as they eat
voraciously and quickly, more like a dog
than the other large felidae. 1t is said that
a good many lion skins, especially those
brought back by foreign counts and others
from Somaliland before the regrettable mis-
understanding between whites and blacks
had begun in that region famous for large
game, were obtained by the unsportsman-
like method of poisoning carcasses and
leaving them for the lions to devour.
Cattle, which have no less than four stom-
achs, are hopelessly poisoned If once they
have swallowed a dose, whether in a toxic
plant or otherwise. 1t is this curious ar
rangement of their interiors which makes
it such a difficult matter to give cattle medi-
cine at all.
In common with human beings, animals
seem to be affected by poison in certain
forms when in particular condition Of
health. At other times they can eat the
same plant or shrub with impunity. In GER
tain states of health man can eat pork,
Holsters, cookies, scallops and other some
what risky foods without bad effects. At
other times the same edibles would produce
on him the effect of ptomain poisoning
Two persons may eat of the same food at
the same time and while one Is perfectly
well afterward the other may become vio-
lently ILL.,
The curious cases of yew poisoning among
cattle or horses seem to be somewhat
alogous. They will sometimes browse on
shoots of yew and take no harm whatever.
At other times they are obviously made
very i'll or die from eating the leaves. They
have. even been found dead with the yew
fresh and undigested in their stomachs.
Where poisonous plants are present In
any great numbers in heritage ii seems
quite impossible to prevent cattle from eat
ing them
Birdsekseem to have no discrimination
whatever in regard to poisons, probably be-
cause they have almost no sense of smell
and swallow their food without masticating
it. Such intelligent birds as rocks will
pick up and eat poisonous grain, and crows
and ravens readily eat poisoned eggs or
meat.
Chickens will eat the poisonous seeds OF
the laburnum and die from the effects.
Whether birds such tits and green
fnches ever do does not seem to be
known But wild birds are frequently found
dying in gardens. though apparently they
have been in good health few hours be-
FORE and their death may probably be due
to the consumption of poisonous seeds.

SHORT STORIES FROM
THE FAR WEST
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
WINNIPEG, October %, 1904.
1t Is a remarkable and interesting fact
that the raw young Englishman, just over,
gets more jabs and jars in Canada. a part
of his own Great Britain, than he encoun-
tiers otherwhere under the sun.
The native Canadian, especially the West
ern Canadian, will tell you that the aver
age English settler is the no-accountest
person that ever got west of Winnipeg
1t is also remarkable that men from Eng
land skilled as plasterers, tailors, stone
masons. carpenters plumbers will refuse
good jobs in the growing towns and cities
and go out in the wheat fields and try to
farm.
Some of the sayings and doings of these
town-bred homesteaders are too good to
be lost-almost too good to be true
A young Englishman, blowing all alone
in his new-found field behind yoke of
steers: Gee! II begyer pahdon-Hi
meant 'aw."
A young fellow kept calling a nice old
Presbyterian-lookingg gentleman about the
hotel AUD Chappie," when his chum cor
rected him.
The young fellow seemed sorry for hay-
ing been so rude, and turning to the gem
tleman above referred to, said, Hi sal you
don't mind me calm We Old Chappie.' do
you, old cock?"
Another English homesteader on another
quarter-section was just starting home,
with raw yoke of steers. to disfigure his
field. The green cattle, driven by the green
Briton. were wont to wobble about when
the farmer called out: Gee, 'aw! Oh,
go where we bloody like-the ole bloom
in 'omesteads got to be ploughed hany
ways
Another story which perhaps should be
labeled made in Canada " reads this way:
| A sporty sort of English lad was working
| for a sheep man. He was a great sprinter.
| and at the close of the first day on the
| ranch volunteered to round up the sheen

distant west when, painting and perspir-

! a cup of tea.
II got the sheep and four lambs in all
! right" he explained to the ranchman. but
| the lambs are a bit frisky. I'll get the
| balance of them after tea
The ranchman strolled out to see for
| himself He found the flock In the corral

Telephones in Hospitals.
From the Electrical World and Engineer.

In Philadelphia, it is stated, telephones
are to remove the barrier between inmates
of the Municipal Hospital and their friends
in the outside world. DR.. Edward Martin,
director of the department of public health
and charities, has completed arrangements
whereby complete telephone system is to
be installed in the Municipal Hospital, with
telephones in each ward, so that direct
communication between without and within
may be had. Hitherto the hospital entrance
to which is forbidden to even the nearest
relatives of patients, has been connected
with the world by single wire from a
central exchange through the electrical bu-
reau in the city hall. Communication was
irregular and slow. With an exchange on
each floor and in each ward 1t is believed
that inquiries regarding the condition of pa
tents can be answered speedily and salts
factorily both to patient and to friends.
