The Milky Way.

An investigation at Harvard college
observatory has shown that the Milky
Way has about twice as many stars as
any other equal area of the sky. This
ratio does not increase for faint stars
down to the twelfth magnitude, but the
proportion of stars of any given mag
nitude is the same as in other regions.
The Milky Way covers about one-third
of the sky, containing about one-half of
the stars. About 10000 stars are Of
magnitude sc, or brighter. 100000 Of
magnitude S.7, 100000 of magnitude
II, and 100000 of ma gnitude 11.9, while
it is thought-but not certainly known
that about 1s,0o0OOO stars are visible
in telescope of Is inches aperture, that
is, down to about the fifteenth magni-
tude. There is no evidence of any limit
to the faintness of the stars although
the proportionate increase becomes less
for each successive magnitude.

DOG TRAVELS ON PASS.
Is SiGnal1y Favored by an
Eastern Railroad

Dewey" well-behaved fox ter
rier, whose home is in Rye will be
the first dog honored with regular
annual pass, says New York dis
patch to the Baltimore Sun. Dewey
has been traveller on the New York,
New Haven Hartford road for sew
eral years. Hitherto he has been
"deadheaded," or supplied with only
trip passes, but now trainmen along
the line have made application to the
passenger department for an annual.
1t will be put in silver case, and
Dewey will wear it about his neck
whenever he wants to make trip.
Every station agent and express
messenger from New York to Spring
field knows this dos. Never week
passes that he does not go on a trip
of inspection on the line.
Dewey leaves home early in the
morning on an express train going to-
ward New Haven. He rides 40 or SO
miles in the baggage car, gets out
whisks about among the employees al
a station, wagging his tail, then barks
furiously at the door Of an express
car, jumps in when it is opened, and
goes on few stations farther.
When night comes the dog crosses
the track, boards train going toward
home, curls up in corner of the car
and is sure to awaken and get off al
Rive station.

that knot above the spot where they
have Joined shows that one top died
after the trunks grew together"
Both trunks are alive now" said
Richard, who had been testing them
with his pocket knife.
Then the teacher explained that orig
inally one tree branched, and the other,
leaning in that direction, rested in this
crotch, and small branch above this
crotch held the trunk securely. That
is to say, one trunk grew between two
small branches of the other tree. AS
these branches increased in size they
held the bark of one trunk against the
other as firmly as if they were clamped
in vice, so that one tree grated
naturally into the other. In time the
top Of one trunk and the small branches
died, leaving this odd and pulling
growth.-St. Nicholas.

NEW ZEALAND,S RABBITS.
Formerly Pest, Now a Source OF
Revenue-SSO5,O 600 Worth
Shipped Last Year.

Rabbits, which have been the pest of
Australia and New Zealand for many
years, have now become a source of large
revenue. Frozen rabbits to the value
of over $S05,000 were exported from Vic
toria, New Zealand, last year, in addi-
ton to $4,000 worth of preserved rab-
bits. This business is daily increasing.
Now that the trapping industry is such
an important one, employing as it does
several thousand hands, and is largely
effective in keeping the rabbit pest in
check, the chances are that the meth
DDS of compulsory suppression now en-
forced on landholders will at least be
moderated by the government.
The rabbits in Australia and New
Zealand were originally shipped from
England, and it is almost impossible to
keep them out of the cattle ranches.
Fences have been built around these
vast stations with wire netting sunk
is inches below the surface to prevent
the rabbits from getting inside, but as

The Repninting Of Liners.

The great Atlantic liners are, as a
rule. reprinted every trip. The sides
of the average first-class liner from
water-line to rail represent an area of
about an acre. The outworks of decks
and cabins amount to almost as much
more, while the outside surface of the
two great tunnels and masts totals
over half an acre. Thus there is an
area of about two and half acres to
be covered on the big liners at the
end OF every voyage The painting Of
the tunnels is the most important and
difficult of the whole undertaking. and
the men carry on their work FROM
swinging seats.

than coffee and toast. In New York
potatoes are on the free list, and

An earthquake recently occurred in
Bohemia. The principal inn at Gras-

machine which had been out of order
for a long time. When, however, the
earthquake shook the house the ma
chine began to work, and 'Hoch der
kaiser!" rang out above the cries of
the inundated guests. Many of the
latter being old soldiers, the patriotic
air did much to quiet the natives,
particularly az the machine went on
playing without stopping for pennies.

Rabbits in this country rarely burrow

Chicago, where land is divided for build
