Venus Among the Incas,

The only planet which the Incas had
discovered was Venus, which they
called the hairy on account of the
brightness of it's rays. They said that,
being the most brilliant of the stars,
the sun would not permit it to be sep
arated from him and obliged it to attend
his rising as we'll as his going down,
just as at the courts of kings only the
most distinguished lords and the hand
soonest ladies were admitted to the GER
emonious royal risings and retirings.
1t appears nearly certain that the In
cas- spoke of Venus under two different
names, according as it preceded or fol
lowed the sun. To this day the native
Peruvians name it in fanciful language
the eight hour torch and the twilight
lamp. AS this star served to show the
Indians when it was time to prepare
the maize for cooking, they also gave it
a name indicative of that act A chapel
in the Temple of the Sun was conse-
Grated to this planet.

How Dreams Are WEIGHED.

An ingenious instrument which dem
Onstrates the close connection that ex-
lists between dreams and brain calcula-
ton is known as the "tilt board A
long, shallow tray big enough for a
man to recline upon is balanced exact
" upon a steel blade. A subject is
placed upon it and put to sleep, where
upon the end containing his feet gen
orally falls. But eventually the subject
begins to dream, and then the tray con-
tanning the sleeper's feet reascends, the
extent to which it moves varying ac-
cording to the vividness of the dream.
The explanation is that the blood
leaves the brain of a sleeper directly
the mental activities cease, and, the
head as a result becoming lighter, that
end Of the balance rises When the
sleeper dreams small quantities of
blood are recalled to the brain to sup
ply the dreams, and the balance is
gradually changed. In this way
dreams may be weighed.

Miss Ida Steele, who holds position
in the accounting department of Hoard's
creameries, sustained concussion of the
brain Saturday evening by jumping out
of buggy while in motion. She was
riding with a lady friend near the depot
when the horses became frightened at a
train and dashed east on South Third
street. When near the corner of Maple
street Miss Steele sprang out of the bug
gy and the back of her head struck the
frozen ground so violently that, notwith-
standing her heavy hair, she received
severe scalp wound. She was immedi-
ately taken to her room at the Pork no.
tel and put under the care Of Doctors
Caswell and Gibson. She did not regain
consciousness until five o'clock Sun
day morning and has since been in a
very critical condition.

Three Tombs at Westminster.


In the east walk of the cloisters at
Westminster abbey there are three
most interesting graves-those of
Thomas Betterton and his wife, better
known as Bess Saunderson, and the
ever fascinating Mrs. Bracegirdle Of
all the people who lie within these hal
lowed walls it may safely be said that
BettertOn has the best claim of all to
this privilege. No small measure of
praise must be accorded to this gifted
actor for the fact that he almost more
than any one else was responsible for
the resuscitation of the English drama
after the stern regime of the Puritans
Mrs. Bracegirdle was either adopted by
Betterton or placed under his care, and
she very soon took all hearts in Lon
don by storm. She achieved her great
est success in acting in Congreves
plays. Her artistic career, however.
was a comparatively short one, for
Mrs. Bracegirdle retired from the
stage in dudgeon when Anne Oldfield
first became her dangerous rival. She
lived on in honorable retirement and
beloved by all, high and low, far and
near, until the year 1748, when she was
buried here beside her old friends the

When Folks Feared Gas.

In the early days of the last century
when Illuminating gas was first used in
London, timorous people talked of the
dangers Of suffocation and of explo
sions to which the gas, which was still
imperfectly purified exposed the citi
zens. Scientists confirmed these asser
tons, and the first gasometers erected
in London by Samuel Clegg so terrified
the people that no workman would ven
ture to light the gas jets which had
been placed on Westminster bridge
But Clegg soon overcame this difficulty
by lighting torch and applying 1t to
the burners with his own hands. On
another occasion before committee of
the Royal society of London he bored
a hole in the gas holder and put light.

the spectators, but without causing the

THE ROAD OF ANTHRACITE.
Popular Because of Its Superb Servi'

Popular Because of Its Superb Service.
NO RAILROAD IN THE WORLD
offers to the traveller a more picturesque
route than the Lackawanna Railroad.
Leaving New York the train crosses the
far famed Jersey meadows into the high
lands of New Jersey. Skirting the Del
aware river the journey lies directly
through the Delaware Water Gap, one
of the most noted scenic views in the
world Thence to the summit of the
Pocono Mountains, 1000 feet above the
level of the sea, the train rushes into
Scranton, beyond which another noun
tain range is passed befo Binghampton
is reached. Here the Dad skirts the
beautiful Susquehanna river, running
from there into the valley of the Che
mung river and then into that of the
Genesee. The entire journey lies through
continuous panorama of ripping
brooks, leaping cataracts, towering
mountains and hill-shadowed lakes,
which for diversity of interest and beau
ty of landscape is not equaled anywhere
on the American continent.
THE RoADBED
of the Lackawanna Railroad is conceded
by experts to be the finest that engineer
ing skill can produce. 1t is perfectly
ballasted and splendidly maintained.
Perfect rail joints give entire freedom
from the usual "clickety- click" so com
mon in railroad travelling.
THE CoNvENIENCEs
of the Lackawanna Railroad appeal d.
rectly to the business man. The Chica-
go terminal is at the new La Sale street
station, the most convenient in Chicago.
The New York terminals are at Barclay
and Christopher streets and at West
Twenty third street, the first in the very
heart of the down town business section,
and the section close to the wholesale
district and the terminal at West TWEEN
ty-third street on the edge of the hotel,
theater and shopping district. Three
elegant through trains are operated
daily from Chicago to New York. For
European travellers the conveniences of
Lackawanna Railroad are unrivaled, as
it's Hoboken station is within stone s
throw of all the great transatlantic
steamship lines, thus obviating expen-
sive transfer of passengers and baggage
