English Gipsy, Aged Ninety-Nine
Made Unique Boast.

The death was recently announced
of "Gipsy Sarah" the mother" of
Lancashire gipsies, and probably the
oldest and best-known gypsy in Eng
land. She died in her tent on the
Dunes, near Blackpool, aged 80. She
claimed to be the head of the great
Boswell family of gipsies, and 1t was
her boast that she had never slept
in a house, and had never had a
doctor until her last Illness. She was
born in Kent, but she had lived under
canvas at Blackpool for the last II
years. With her husband (since dead
she pitched her tent at North shore,
when Blackpool was fishing village,
near the cliffs which the sea now
threatens to engulf. They drifted
farther and farther afield. as the
builder encroached upon the open
country. until she got to the Dunes,

tions of men than any other members
OF the tribe.

DESTINATION OF SUN.
Herschers Conclusions of Century Ago
Are Being Verified.

More than century ago Sir William
Herschel was able to Ak roughly what
we call the apex OF the suns way In
space. or the point among the stars
toward which that way Is for the mo-
ment directed. We say for the mo-
ment, but we meant that moment of
which Bradley saw the beginning In
1850, and upon whose end no man OF
those now living shall ever look. Her
schel found that comparison of old
stellar observations seemed to indicate
that the stars In certain part OF the
sky were opening out. as 1t were. and
that the consultations In the opposite
part OF the heavens seemed to be draw
ing in, or becoming smaller. There
can be but one reasonable explanation
OF this. We must be moving toward
that part of the sky where the stars
are separating. Just so man watch
ing regiment of soldiers approaching
will see at first only confused body
OF men. But as they come nearer the
individual soldiers Will seem to sepa-
rate, until at length each one Is seen
distinct from all the others. Her
schel fixed the position OF the apex at
a point in the constellation Hercules.
The most recent investigations OF
Newcomb. published orly few
months ago, have. on the whole. veri-
fed Herschel's conclusions. With tho
intuitive power of rare genius Her
schel had been able to sift truth out
of error. The observational data at
his disposal would now be called rude.
but they disclosed to the scrutiny OF
his acute understanding the germ OF
truth that was in them. Later inves-
LEGATIONS have increased the precision
of our knowledge, until we can now
say that the present direction OF the
solar motion is known within very
narrow limits. A tiny circle might be
drawn on the sky to which an as
tronomer might point his hand and
say: "Yonder little circle contains
the goal toward which the sun and
planets are Fastening today. Even the
speed of this motion has been sub
jected to measurement and found to
be about ten miles per second"

CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES.
A Man Once Millionaire Now Lives In
Barn.

Barn.
Robert A. Johnston, sole survivor Of
a firm of famous Broadway dry goods
merchants, has lived for years a her
NIT in what remains OF his beautiful
home at Riverdale, on the Hudson.
This solitary man, who twelve years
ago was worth 80 100000, has made his
home in a barn since last winter, and
even that he owes to the kindness OF
the new owner Wall street concern.
John Johnston came to New York
from County Armagh, Ireland. many
years ago. He opened a small dry
goods business, which soon grew to a
great success. He brought his broth
ers Charles and Robert from Ireland
and made them his partners under the
name of J. & c. Johnston. Their great
store at Broadway, Twenty-second
street and Fifth avenue, was one of
the finest in New York. Charles died
in 1880 and John in 1887. Robert the
youngest brother, inherited all the
property. His wealth was estimated
at more than S2,000000 The suspen-
sion of the old house was announced
in 1888. The millions accumulated in
half century began to vanish as II
by magic. No one knows how Robert
A. Johnston lost his money. within
twelve years his great fortune has
melted away. Soon after Johns death
Robert paid 100000 for dozen acres
Of land along Cuthbert lane and there
built a magnificent stone mansion.
There he lived in stately seclusion.
The house was filled with beautiful
furniture, exquisite paintings, statuary
and bric-a-brac. But the former mil
lionaire was growing poorer day by
day. He could not keep his servants.
Forrest house, which once belonged to
him, was destroyed by fire in 1899. 1t
passed out of his possession months
before. Johnston filed o petition in
bankruptcy on Feb. 6, 1900, showing
no assets and liabilities Of $4,000, of
which $4,000 were deficiency judy
ments and the rest chiefly for gro
ceries, clothing, servants wages, etc.

Kings Wire by Cipher.

sile from the Clouds.
"The all-d-eaded Thunderstorm" has
been so very seldom seen of late years
that it has come to be regarded by the
vulgar as almost legendary, but the
people of Bristol had reason recently
to know its reality.
During very severe thunder storm
some masons at work on scaffolding
at Horfield state that they saw a thun-
derbolt coming toward them from the
direction of South Mead. One of them
lost his balance. and only saved him
self from falling by clinging to a
plank The others had to hold on to
whatever was handy.
They describe what they saw as
looking like dazzling ball of fire
larger than a football. One Of the
men says: 1T cleared our building,
but struck neighboring chimney, but
what became of it I cannot say" An
utterly demolished chimney stack re-
mains to testify to his veracity.
The thunderbolt has not been seen,
but II is well known that these mis-.
sils usually come in contact with the
earth at such velocity that they bury
themselves.-Country Life.

WAYS OF WILD CREATURES.
Easy Victim Preferred by Those Who
Prey on Their Fellows,

In a recently published book on
fishing, w. S. Hodgson, an English
sportsman, argues that when a fish
OF the salmon kind, or a pike takes
real minnow impaled on flight OF
hooks or manufactured thing re.
sembling a minnow the fish Is moved
less by desire to eat than by a de.
sire to kill. He derives this impress.
sion from the fact that "a salmon or
trout. like pike. will leave a whole
shoal of minnows undisturbed, and
rush at an impaled minnow, or a phan.
tom" A critic of the book says:
Surely this Is very far.fetched. Fish
and birds of prey, like human beings
are averse to unnecessary trouble, and
as 1t is easier to catch wounded
creature than fresh one, a peregrine
will take an injured grouse or a pike
a tethered or spinning bait when It
comes in his way. not because of the
instinct which leads wild animals to
kill the weaker brethren, but from
the natural tendency to take the
goods the gods provide you in the
shape Of cheaply earned and easy
meal" 1t may be added that old
guides of northern Wisconsin hold
with Mr.. Hodgson that the muskel.
lunge strikes the bait ordinarily only
when he feels savage and desires to
kill something.

Spiritual Food to Congregation.
Scotch minister tells of an old.
fashioned brother of the church who
insisted on preaching two long SER
mons every Sunday. This feature in
his character he exhibited in the win.
ter months to a very trying extent.
During the rest of the year there we're
two services, at IL and 2 o'clock, sep.
arated by an interval OF an hour or
more. but when the days were short,
as many OF his congregation came
from considerable distances, 1t was
desirable that they should be able to
reach their homes before 1t was dark.
But 1t was not only desirable but i'm.
perative that they should have two
sermons. This was accomplished. by
having only one meeting, beginning at
IL O'Clock, and doing away with the
interval. There we're then two ser.
mons separted by the singing of a
short psalm.
