The Extent of the Universep
From Harper's Magazine


To determine a single position of any one
star involves good deal of compute ton,
and If we reflect that, in order to attack
the problem in question in satisfactory
way, we should have observations of a mil
lion of these bodies made at intervals of
at least a considerable fraction of a CEN
fury, we see what an enormous task the
astronomers dealing with this problem have
before them, and how imperfect must be
any determination of the distance of the
stars based on our motion through space
So far as estimate can be made, it
seems to agree fairly we'll with the re-
suits obtained by the other methods Speak
ing roughly, we have reason, from the da ia
so far valuable. to believe that the stars
of the milky way are situated at a dis
lance between 1O0,OO0,000 and 200 600 600
times the distance from the sun. At dis
tances less than this it seems likely that
the stars are distributed through space with
some approach to uniformity. We may
state as a general conclusion, indicated by
several methods of making the estimate
that nearly all the stars which we can see
with our telescopes are contained within
a sphere not likely to be much more than
20O,O00,O0O times the distance of the sun.
The inquiring reader may here ask an
other question. Granting that all the stars
we can contained within this limit
may there not be any number of stars
without the limit which are invisible only
because they are too far away to be seen?

CRIPPLED OFFENDERS.
Tim Mccarthy Acquitted on Charge Of
VaprancY,

Policeman Roberts surprised Judge Strider
this morning by telling him that one dozen
one-legged men are in the habit of lettering
about the corner of I'd and II streets north
east One of the dozen cripples Timothy
Mccarthy, was in court to answer a charge
of vagrancy. The policeman's complaint
was that Mccarthy has been spending
much time about the street corner Last
night, he stated, the man was intoxicated
Mccarthy denied thatshe was intoxicated
last night, but admitted that he had indulg-
ed In few drinks. He said he was unable
to perform any work and that he had been
about II street watching the men working
on the union station Mccarthy said he
knew nothing of the dozen one-legged men
lettering about the corner, although he was
talking TO one such man last night.

Mukden.
From Harper's Weekly.


Mukden is a series of three concentric
squares. The outer, with wall of clay
fncloses the suburbs, and is three miles
each way. The second is Tai-tsong's CITY,
and is the original Manchu capital. Its
walls, of stone and brick, creneIated and
buttressed like the walls of Peking are a
mile each way The third and innermost
treating Russians and the advancing JAP
anese, after crossing the Hun river some
two miles south of the suburbs, were ap-
lofty pagoda, which stands at the point
where the road enters the outskirts of the
town. II they had found the roads from
Liao-Yang heavy going, those within the
city were not much better, though the Rus
slams, during their years of occupation did
something to abate the streams of ill-smelI-
ing liquid mud dotted with islands of ref
use. which formerly did duty as streets in
Liao-Yang and Mukden. But before enter
ing the city, the hurrying troops were
greeted by charming sight-the Manchu
park before the southern gate, with it's
splendid pines, its Towering shrubs, its
Chinese pagodas and Manchu memorial
temples, all gorgeously decorated with
many colored glazed tiles. This park with
those at the tombs of Nurhachu and Tai
tsoHg, give Mukden a singular charm MAX
ing 1t quite unlike the ordinary city of the
Chinese empire. Mukden has many beauti-
full buildings, of most varied styles. Cniet
among them is the imperial palace, in its
sacred Enclosure at the center of the town,
corresponding to the Forbidden City of Pc
king. The palace Is covered with glazed
tiles, colored yellow, the imperial hue
everywhere In China.

Pigeon-Raising for Profit.

From Lesie's Weekly.
The Jersey SQUAD has attained a stand
ing in the markets. a reputation for weight
fullness of breast and wilderness OF hesh
that have created a demand for 1t. A
pigeon. like a crow, will live in almost any
climate So the squab-raising business OF
the United States extends from California
to Maine and down into the south. Near
Los Angeles Cal, is the largest individual
pigeon farm in the country. probably in
the world; the product is considerable in
Massachusetts, near Boston, and there are
SQUAD farms on Long Island
The enterprise of raising pigeons for mar
ket has many attractions. 1t is said to be
profitable-that, If properly handled, one
pair of pigeons will earn, by the sale
of their young, 81 a year; so that LEGO
pairs, which is about all that one man could
well care for. should earn for their owner
81, 600 year. I was told by several squad
growers in New Jersey that they never had
any difficulty in disposing of their product.
