A Reward Of Faith.

A congregation in hilly district in
Ohio bought a small tract of land and
erected church building upon it,
Then the question of Insurance came
up. Mr.. Sipes, the wealthy member,
who had contributed more than
half the money needed for the new
structure, declared that he did not
believe IN insurance, says the Youths
Companion. This is the Lords build
ing He'll take care Of it." he said.
His view prevailed and there was
no Insurance. In few weeks the
building was struck by lightning and
almost totally consumed by fire. An
other one was erected Mr., sipes con
tributing the greater portion Of the
fund as before. This time the demand
was almost unanimous that It be In

struck by lightning again, and all
though strenuous efforts were made
to save 1t, the loss was almost total.
There must be some reason for
this brethren" said Brother Sipes, Il
am going to find out what it is"
Thereupon he employed force Of
men to sink a shaft on the site of the
twict destroyed church. Within a few
days a rich vein of ore was found
and the church property was sold for
many times the amount needed to buy
land in another locality and build
again.

as matter of fact, candidates for

The moment he entered the room

He did so, and his chest measure

Montgomery. Ala July 11.--With
only eleven days left in which to con-
slider some Of the most important bills
ever brought before the Alabama Leg
islature, that body faces what promis-
es to be an exceedingly busy session.
While the election of United States
Senator and the codifying Of the laws
are the primary objects of the present
assembly, there is to be great
amount of legislation that will call
for spirited debates and the marshal
ing of all possible influences for and
against. The length of the calendar
is such that it is impossible for all
the pending bills to be accepted or re-
jected this year unless the Governor
calls an extra session.
One of the most important measures
is the Gray bill. which provides that
all insurance companies doing bust
ness in Alabama shall invest so pei
cent. of the money received in prem
iums in Alabama property. The pro

Home rule for municipalities is to
be provided by means of a legislative
act which win greatly aid the smaller

municipalities the right to decide, for
themselves matters that have hereto

! A bill designed to prevent negroes
from carrying arms has been framed
by Senator Henson. 1t is proposed to
license the carrying of deadly weap-
ons, but the license can only be issued
to reputable householders and cleo

Several bills dealing with the regu

calendar, but are mainly Of loca

Fast Losing His Power.
The sultan has a cabinet, consisting Of
q grand vizier. a secretary of state, a
secretary Of the interior and a secretary
Of war. He has also q chief chamberlain,
q chief treasurer and a chief admins
traitor Of customs. He has had an army
Of 10000 or $4,000 men. and at times as
many as 10000 troops In different parts
Of Morocco. I understand that the soldiers
are armed with good weapons and that
they have few batteries of field guns.
Within the past year the army seems to
have grown weaker and weaker. The re-
bellion Of Blu Hamara, the capture of
Perdicaris and the enforced ransom on
the part Of the Sultan by Raisuli, to-
gether with the foreign complications,
have made his majesty so unpopular that
his support is drifting away from him.
His power Is. indeed, on the wane; and

gether. The last theory Of world develop
ment supposes that when this happens one
star may be so greatly distorted by the
pull OF the other that great amount Of
| material may be elected from it. Instead
of this eruption merely causing a slight
hefghtening Of the star. it is supposed
that the effect Is very much greater, and
in fact is equivalent to a partial tearing
apart or disruption of it.
1t Is further supposed that the second
star In its journey around the first tends to
thus arranges the material in a spiral
form. So that each Of the many spiral
nebulas Is the remains Of q star which
has been torn apart by the near approach
of another star.
Finally it is supposed that the elected
material will continue to revolve around
the central star in the direction in which
1t was originally drawn by the disturbing
star, and that ultimately it will condense
into one or more planets revolving about
this sun in the same direction.
The theory Of LaPlace which has been
quite generally accepted for nearly CEN
fury supposed that our solar system was
originally nebula which as it slowly con-
tracted left great rings Of material be-
hind These rings condensed into the
planets and the great bulk of the nebula
condensed into the sun. For many yearp
it has been known that this method Of de-
velopment Is an impossible one because a
ring of matter left behind in this way could
never condense Into planet. but whether
the new theory after due investigation viii
be generally accepted cannot be predicted
as yet.
Comets and Planets.
There are no less than three comets now
visible. but they are each very faint and
can only be seen with telescope. The
path OF one Of these during February Is
shown in Fig. 1. When first discovered 1t
was just west OF the Beehive at r; by Feb
ruary 1t will reach the point and by
March the point T. Its apparent motion
during the month Is SO small because IL Is
now moving almost directly away from the
earth. On February 1 1t will be 10000. GOO
miles away and on March 1, 1877 600 COO
These bodies come from the vast regions of
space, pass around the sun and usually re-
cede never to return again.

Written for The Star by Prof. Eric Doolittle.
At no one time of the year is the sky
more full of brilliant stars than now. The
most Indifferent observer who happens to
be out on some clear, cold evening of Feb
ruary will probably notice that the stars
seem brighter than usual, but there are few
persons who know that on the same even
ing Of each year the same stars are always
visible, and still fewer who understand how
the slow, westward motion of the heavens
causes the brilliant groups of winter to be
replaced by the faint consultations Of sum-
,mers So
During this month the whole southern
sky is filled with bright winter groups The

all, Is high up from the ground in the
south; above this there are the magnificent
groups Of Orion, Taurus and Gemini. while
in the east may be seen the beautiful group
Of Leo Or the Sickle; exactly overhead is
the brilliant white star Capella. Passing
from this along the Milky Way to the west,
our attention is at once attracted by the
very bright W-shaped group known as Cas-
siopoea, while opposite the Great Dipper is
just beginning its climb over the celestial
pole.
Thus the entire sky is covered with light
and striking groups But to one who stud
les the stars the fainter, little known con-
stellations are of no less interest. Just
below Leo there is the Water Snake, whose
head had just emerged above the ground
last month, but which has now dragged
up full one-third of its length. Next month
It will extend all the way to the south, but
even then only one-half Of 1t will have ap-
peared. Not until May will the tip of its
