A Measurer Of Starlight.
Delicate instrument Devised to Accom-.
plish this Work.

Prof. Joe Stebbins and Prof. F. c.
Brown have recently constructed
small selenium cell which when
placed in the focus OF t2-inch re-
lracting telescope. causes measurable
reflections Of the needle of a galyano-
meter in response to the impact OF
.light-waves from individual stars. The
planet Mars gave a DETECTION Of nine
mlllimeters, the star Aldebaran a de-
Election of 34 millimeters, and even
a fourth magnitude star, Gamma
Arietis, caused visible detection.
It Is hoped that by the use Of a spe-
cielly sensitive galvanometer this
method may be greatly improved, and
that II certain disturbing influences,
particularly temperature changes, can
be eliminated. accurate measurements
of starlight by means Of selenium
cells will become possible.

Good Cause For Tears.

A certain medieval sultan had all the
mirrors removed from his palace, so
that he might avoid the pain Of see
ing his own face. This sultan called
on his grand vizier one day and by ac.
cident happened to catch sight of his
reflection. His hideousness overpow-
cred him, and he broke into violent
sobbing. In this outburst the vizier
Joined. Finally the sultan Gained
down, wiped his eyes and got ready to
smoke and talk. But not SO the vizier.
He sobbed on and on. His master, tap
ping his slipper impatiently on the
cushions, waited for him to cease. At
length the sultan got angry and ex-
claimed:
''Why do you weep longer than T.,
vizier?"
"Alas," the grand vizier replied, "you
wept, o commander of the faithful,
because you saw your face but for an
instant, but see it all day and every
day.'

The Spanish Royal Standard.

The Spanish royal standard is most
complicated The red and yellow of
the Spanish flag is said to be derived
from this occurrence: In 1878 Charles
the Bold dipped his fingers in the blood
of Godfrey, count Of Barcelona, and
drew them down the counts golden
shield in token of his appreciation If
the latters bravery. The shield, so
marked, became the arms of BARGE
Iona, which became part Of Aragon,
and its arms were taken by that king
dom. Now to the royal standard: In
the first quarter or upper left hand
part Of the flag are the arms Of Leon
and CASTLE, the lion and the castle.
The second quarter is taken up one
half by the arms of Aragon, one-half
by the arms of Sicily. The upper third
Of the third quarter-directly under
the first-shows the Austrian colors.
The lower two-thirds is divided be-
tween the flag of Burgundy and the
black lion Of Flanders. The upper
third of the fourth quarter shows the
checkers, another Burgundian device,
while the lower two-thirds is shared
by the red eagle of Antwerp and the
golden lion of Brabant, and on the top
Of all this are two shields, one showing
the Portuguese arms, the other the
French deur-de-lis. Considerable of

Tie Shoulder Strap,

If 1t were possible to compile such
data it would be extremely interesting
to know to what extent women have
influenced the uniforms and equip.
ment of their fighting states. A little
instance in point is the steel curb
shoulder strap of the British cavalry.
When Sir George Luck was setting
out for Kandahar during the Afghan
operations Lady Luck, knowing prob
ably something Of the fighting methods
Of the tribesmen, whose four foot knife
can cut clean from shoulder to belt,
sewed a couple of steel curb chains
under each of the shoulder straps on
her husbands tunic AS a protection
from sword cuts these proved SO eff
fective that at the end Of the campaign
Sir George made report in relation
thereto, with the result that they were
adopted as permanent feature of the
cavalry uniform.-Harper's Weekly.

Motion of the Sun.

Owing to the revolution of the earth
the sun seems to make it's daily cir
cult around us, which Of course is not
the case. But the sun is revolving
about its center quite as truly as the
earth is. 1t was one of the conceptions
Of that most remarkable man, Sir John
Herschel, that the whole solar system
had motion in space and was ad.
vancing toward point in the heavens
near the star Hercules. Sir Johns con-
ception-as bold an idea as ever en-
tered the human minds new gener-
ally accepted by astronomers, and the
opinion is quite universal among them
that the entire system is tracing out a
curvilinear path in space, course
around some mighty center, probably
at Hercules.

It reminds me Of the Turkish pasha
and his wife,
"a Turkish pasha lay dying. He
summoned to him the youngest and
fairest Of his forty-six wives and said
to her In a low, weak voice:
"'Put on your richest costume, your
most brilliant jewels. Deck your hair
with pearls and brighten your finger
tips with henna'
"The young wife blushed. Even in
her grief she was f1attered.
"'And why, my lord,' she said, do
you desire me to make this sumptuous
toilet?'

Accordingly, Mr.. Scott, with some hesi-

principal, Mr.. Cleveland, came in, he

looked at him with smile and then
