The wonders revealed by the ordi.

hundredfold by recent invention,
which enables the use of high-power
lens as large as six inches in diameter

fly is magnified not in parts, but all
at once, till it appears to be as large
as an ostrich or condor, and, being
inclosed in an open space, where it is
kept directly within the field of the
glass and yet has ample room, consid.
ering its size, to move about and en-
gage in its usual occupations, the OPP
portunity for studying It are immense

immense value can doubtless be made

Purchase Another.

Isaac Coffman of Hatton, Pa, has
sold coffin he made many years ago.
He sold IL not because he felt he would
have no use for it. but because his
wife insisted that 1t was out of date.
MIR Coffman is nearing his eightieth
birthday. He explained to a friend
that he constructed the coffin 20 years
ago. 1t was built of chestnut because,
as he put 1t, "Many's the time l have
sat beside CHEEKY blaze of chestnut
logs and heard them crackle and burn
merrily. 1t makes such homelike
blaze that l picked it in preference to
other woods. 1t was my desire TO
have the coffin as coy as possible,
and / rejected the frivolities which SO
many persons affect in the matter OF

casket. To avoid trouble l agreed to
sell the old one. But at the SAME

days should satisfy me now. and

new-fangled affair"

The AxIai Rotation Of Venus.

For over two centuries II was gener-
ally accepted that, like the earth, the
planet Venus rotated on It's axis In a
little less than twenty-four hours, but
since schlaparelll after long and care
ful observation of the planet suggest
ed that the actual rotation period was
between SIX and nine months astrOn-
omers have devoted much atteption TO
this matter. In the Observatory Mr..
Denning sums up the available evil
dence on the point and can only con.
clude that this particular problem still
deiies solution. Life on Venus would
be very different from life on the earth
should the planets avinI rotation be,
as Schiaparell asserted. identical with
the period OF its revolution round the
sun, as IN that case the same hemi-
sphere would always be turned TO the
sun and enjoy perpetual days while the
opposite hemisphere would be doomed

CLEOPATRA.
The story of Her Death From the Bite
of an Asp.

The story of Her Death From the Bite
Of an Asp.
1t is admitted that Cleopatra killed
herself to avoid being exhibited at
Rome in the triumph Of Octavlus. who
had made war upon her and Antony be-
cause the latter had divorced his zoe
tavius) sister on the queens account.
But did she die from a snakes bite?
1t is better to think not. "If her death
had been caused by any serpent. tho
small viper would rather have been
chosen than the large asp, but the
story is disproved by her having deck
ed herself in the royal ornaments and
being found dead without any marks
or suspicion OF poison on her body"
Death from serpent's bite could not
have been mistaken, and her vanity
would not have allowed her TO choose
one which would have dis6gured her
In so frlghtful a manner.
Other poisons We're well understood
and easy Of access. and no boy would
have ventured TO carry an asp IN n
basket OF figs. some of which he even
offered to the guards as he passed, and
even Plutarch shows that the story OF
the asp was doubtful Nor Is the statue
carried IN Augustus triumph. .,hich
had an asp upon 1t. any proof OF Vic
belief in II, since the snake was tie
emblem of Egyptian royalty. The
statue Tor the CROWN OF Cleopatra
could not have been without one, and
this was probably the origin of the
whole story.
