The Hon Andrew D. White was our Minister to Russia from 1892 to 1894. It was then and there that he accumu- lated material for the sensational ar raignment of the present Car and of the Russian government which was published in the November Century.
 It is the saddeSt spectacle of our time. Former emperOrs, however much they have wished to do so, have not dared break their oaths to Finland, but the present weakling sovereign. in his indifference, carelessnesS, ana absolute untitness to rule, has allowed the dominant reactionary clique about him to accomplish it's own good pleas ure. His dynasty, if not himself, will be punished for it.
 In the December Century, MT White began series of "reminiscences of his mission to Germany, 1897-l902. The first chapters deal with the German at titude toward and comment on the United States during the Spanish War.

Colossal Heavenly Body.

From the London Telegraph.
In the constellation Scorpio, seen, when
visible at all, low down in our southern
sky is a star of about the first magnitude.
called Antares. This object is, according
to measurement of its parallax by Sir Da-
vid Gill, enormously distant, and must.
therefore, be a colossal body. One of our
astronomers, j. Z. Gore, has computed
from photometric considerations that its
mass is probably 5000 times that of the
sun. AS a rule, the tendency of astrono-
mers is to doubt whether such differences
as these figures imply exist among the ce-
leStial orbs; but undoubtedly the mass OF
Antares must be exceptional. Mr.. Larkin
of the Lowe observatory, California, points
out that round this great star is wide
gion about void of stars any known
to the telescopist." Many starry fields are
encountered in the heavens ''rhese black
ened and waste areas show no stars. or, IL
any, they are on the extreme limit of Wis.,
ion, in this splendid and pure mountain air.
In these dark eXpanses no trace of the deli
cate, pearl-whte. shimmering background
of the sidereal structure can be seen. The
inference is that all the matter once in this
area has been drawn in to build up the col
ossll sun Antares." The space has been
swept clean. In the consolidate Sagitta-
rus and Scorpio there exist many black
fields, without either star or nebulous back
ground.
