several whose distances are i'm

several whose distances are I'M
measurably great.
The brightest star in the heavens after
glorious Sirius, Alpha. Argus or Canopus,
is an example of that class, for II is i'm
mensely more distant from us than
Sirius. which is really one of our sidereal
neighbors. The brightness of a 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 it is visible or not,
may be absorbed by a dark surface and
then manifests its intensity by the heat
it produces in that surface The amount
of heat produced would therefore be a
precise measure of the radiance of the
star, but here again the trouble lies in
that the heating effects of the rays from
a star cannot be accurately measured by
any instrument. We are consequently
confined 10 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 stars differ in color is
another impediment to obtaining strict
results. Two stars of different color
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.
Looking up at about eight or nine
o'clock in the June evenings we see one
Of those gems on the Star-dottcd vault
of heaven which will make an indelible
impression upon the mind. This is the
star Arcturus. the brightest star in the
constellation Bootes, or the Huntsman.
and the brightest of all the fixed stars
in the northern hemisphere Northeast
of Arcturus We see the four stars Beta.
Gamma. Delta and Epsilon. that form
a somewhat irregular cross, the northern
most, Beta marking the head of the
mighty hunter. Due east from this cross
we behold n semi-circle Of stars which
constitute the main contiguration of the
beautiful little constellation Corona
Borealis, or the Northern Crown. The
brightest of this diadem of stars is
Alpha COronae Boreaiis. also known by
the two other names of Comma and AL
phacca- Southeast of Arcturus and due
east Of Spica in the Virgin Is the zodiacal
constellation Libra, or the Balance. which
may he recognized by its proximity to
the brilliant constellation Scorpio, and
also by a trapcZoid of stars formed by
joining the stars Alpha. Iota. Gamma
and Beta. the last one of which is the
northcrnmOst of the four stars. OF the
circumpolar considerations Ursa Minor is
also on the meridian, a constellation too
familiar to require a special description.
While CAMS Minor, Perseum. AuIiga and
Gemini have either set or are on the
point of setting, we see the two fine
summer consultations Hercules and

which he heard while away, and

was about party OF fishermen from
Skowhegan who had returned from a
trip to Carry ponds. There were II in
the party so the story goes, and on
returning home after three days fishing,
they brought 1900 trout with them.
The way that the trout were alleged 70
have taken hold was something re-
markablc. All the fishermen had to do'
so it was sIid, was to stand on the
shore, with short pole and about SIX

saxony Court Denies Princess Louise
Permission to See Children.
Dresden, Dec. 23.-The former Crown
Princess Louise arrived here unex-
pectedly Wednesday. Accompanied by
a lawyer she proceeded to the Taschen-
burg palace and asked to be Permitted
to see her children. Permission, how
ever, was peren1ptorily refused.
The princess voluntarily left this city
yesterday afternoon for Leipzig. An
Immense cheering crowd escorted her
to the railway station. The princess,
who had written to the king that unless
he granted her oft-repeated request to
see her children, she would attempt to
see them without his permission, arriv-
Cd here unexpectedly from Vienna
with a woman companion. She went
to the Hotel Bellvue, where she was
imme ediately recognized.
The police were informed and then
the ministry sent a telegram to the
king who directed that she should on
no account be admitted to the palace,
but she should not be arrested unless
she became violent. The princess went
alone to- one of the entrances to the
palace on Theater square at in the
morning, dressed in mourning. A
lieutenant of police saluted the princess
and told her quietly that it would be
Impossible for her to enter the place.
He offered to walk with her to the
Hotel Bellvue. She said that would
not be necessary but he walked by her
side across Theater square.

Mcvicker Physician Ofers Proofs OF
Legality of His Claim for $126,000.
Chicago, Dec. %. - DR.. l.. G. H. e.
Zeigler in the probate court yesterday
filed bill of particulars in connection
with a bill of claims filed two weeks
ago against the estate of the late Mrs.
Harriet McVicker, who died recently
dn California. Mrs. McVicker was the
widow of the widely known Theatrical
manager, ]. n. McVicker.
Zeigler's claim in full in full amounts
to $4,000. The bill just filed in
cludes copies of contracts which zeig-
Ter claims existed between himself and
Mrs. Mcvicker. The bill shows two
contracts bearing on the 100000 which
Zeigler asserts is due him as part Of
his claims against the estate.
The first contract is dated Decem-
ber 19, 1899. and provides that after
the death of Mrs. McVicker that the
sum Of 100000 shall be paid to DR..
Zeigler as soon after her demise as
possible. The money, according to the
contract, was to be given for services
as medical adviser. The second con-
tract is practically duplicate OF the
first one, the exception being a change
in signature from Mrs. ]. H. Nc
Wicker to Mrs. Harriet G. McVick-
er." The reason given for the change
in signature was a desire to avoid q
possible legal technicality. ~

After the rest of the jury left the

had consultation with Justice Davis.
AS the foreman left the jury room he
said the vote thruout had been six to

whether the other six were for murder
in the first degree or not he could not
say. Prosecuting Attorney Rand would
not say what further course the prose-

The foreman said only one ballot was
taken. There was such vast differ

the time was taken in argument. A re-

stood as follows: One for murder In

slaughter in the second degree. He
said there was no vote for murder in
the first degree.
