errand can wait"
why, certainly. 1 should like to
have you" laid Clara. But if she had
returned a fiat no Flora would not
have had a dryer sense of unwelcome.
Still, she had gone too far to retreat.
After all, this was only Clara's man
ner, and her buoyant interest in the
expedition vas stronger than her diff
dence.
MischieVous reflections of the doc
trine the EngliShman had startled hsr
with the night before fiickered in her
mind, as they drove from the door.
Was tlis part of the big red game,
not being accommodating, nor so very
polite? The streets We're still wet with
carly fog, ana, turning in at the Pres
lido gate, the expresses dripped dankly
on their heads, and hung out cobweis
pearled with dew. She was sure, even
under their dripping, that the "damna-
bic DUST was alive.
Down the broad slopes thai were
swept by the drive all was green to
the waters edge. The long line of bal
racks, the officers quarters, the great
battle-ground, set in the fiat land be-
tween hills and bay, looked like a
child's toy, pretty and little. They
heard the note of a bugle, thin and
silver clear, and they could see the tiny
figures mastering; but in her preoc-
%cupation it did not occur to Flora
that they were arriving just in time
for parade But when the carriage had
crossed the viaduct, and swung them
past the acacias, and around the last
white curve into the white dust of the
parade-ground, Clara turned, as il with
a fresh idea.
Wouldn't you like to stop n watch
it?"
why, yes" Flora assented. The
brilliance of light and color, the pre-
cision of movement, the sound of the
brasses under the open sky were an in
termezZo in harmony with her spirited
mood.
The carriage stopped under the
scanty shadow of trees hat bordered
the walk to the officers quarters.
Clara, book in hand, alertly rose.
"T1l just run up to the Purdies and
leave this she said.
Then she really did want to be rid
of me-" Flora unused, as she watched
the brisk back moving away; and
how beautifully she has done it, Her
eyes followed Clara's little figure re-
treating up the neat and narrow board
walk. to where it disappeared in over
arching depths of eucalyptus trees.
Further on, beyond the trees, two fig
ures, smaller than Clara's in their
greater distance, were coming down.
Flora almost grinned as she recog-
nized the large linen umbrella that
Mrs. Purdie invariably carried when
abroad in the reservation, and present
ly the trim and bounding figure of Mrs.
Purdie herself, under it. The Purdies
were coming down to parade-at least
Mrs. Purdie was. But the tall figure
beside her-that was not the major.

OUR CT ILDREN'S CORNER
THE SUN IN MOTION.
HERE is a widespread notion
that the sun has a fixed place in

HERE is a widespread notion
that the sun has a fixed place in
the universe; that it's only mo-
ton is its rotation on it's own axis,
which it completes in about % days.
So far as u system is concerned, it
has a fixed place. 1t is the centre
around which all the planets revolve
in their never-changing courses; held
there by the power of gravitation. But
so far as the universe is concerned,
the sun is not at rest; it is sweeping
through space at a speed suited to its
majestic nature, carrying with it the
whole system of which it is the chief.
This sublime problem was first de-
monstrated by the illustrious Herschel,
more than one hundred years ago,
and the truth of his theory has been
confirmed by the ablest astronomers
and mathematicians of the world. He
found that our system is moving, as a
Whole and harmonious body, toward a
point in the constellation Hercules at
the rate of half a million miles a day.
How did he solve this great problem?
Not by observation of the sun, for if
hAioh pCoS DC icfih DPoSN'
we are moving with it, and we could
not, therefore, detect its motion. Nor
could he, for the same reason, use as a
test any object in our system, since
we are all moving together; he had to
go outside the system and note the
apparent movement of stars that are
entirely Independent of it.
A well-known astronomer has given
a graphic illustration of Herschers
method. A passenger in the cabin of
a steamship may know by the rough
ness of the sea that the vessel is NOV
ing, but if the sea were perfectly calm
and he could not go out of the cabin
or ook out the windows, he would not
know whether the ship were moving
or not. 1t would do him no good to
look at the objects in the cabin, for
though they move as rapidly as the
ship, he does not notice it because they
are all moving together.
Let him go on deck, however, and the
movement of the ship at once becomes
apparent, for he can now look beyond
the vessel itself. The sun, with its
attendant planets, may be likened to
the ship. The planets may revolve
around the sun as the passengers move
about in the ships cabin, but as the
passengers, by looking at objects on
beard, cannot tell whether the ship be
moving, so we, by merely looking at
the sun or any of the planets, cannot
tell whether our system as a whole
be in motion. We must look at some
thing entirely u~nconnected with our
own system.
Let us suppose, in further illustration
of this interesting question, that the
ship is approaching it's harbor, and that
the entrance to 1t is narrow. with a
lighthouse on ZACH side. Night comes
on while the vessel is still some distance
from the harbor, and the two beacon
lights are the only objects now visible.
They appear to be close to eac other,
but as the ship draws carer and
nearer to them they appear to move
farther and. farther apart. Finally the
entrance to the harbor is reached, and
the two lights that were directly in
front when first seen, are passed, one
on the right and the other on the left

Encounters on Parade.

- LORA. before her mirror, gaily
stabbing in her long hat-pins,
confessed to herself that last
night had been queer, as queer
as queer could be; but this morning,
luckily, was real again. Her fancy last
night had-yes, she was afraid 1t really
had-run away with her. And she
turned and held the hand-mirror high,
to be sure of the line of her tilted
hat. gave a touch to the turn of her
wide, close belt, a flirt to the frills of
her bodice.
The wind was lightly rufling and
putting out the muslin curtains of the
windows, and from the garden below
came the long, silvery clash of eucalyp-
tus leaves. She leaned on the high
window-ledge to look downward over
red roofs, over terraced green, over
steep streets running abruptly to the
broken blue Of the bay. She tried to
fancy how Kerr would look in this
morning sun. He seemed to belong
only beneath the high artificial lights,
IN the thicker atmosphere of evening.
Would he return again. with renewed
potency, with the same singular, all
most sinister charm, as a wizard who
works his will only by moonlight?
When she should see him again, what
she wondered, woul be his extraordi-
nary mood? On what new GREATNESS
flights might he not take her-or
would he see her at all? 1t was too
fantastic. The sunlight thinned him
to an impalpable ghost.
Tt was Clara, standing at the foot
of the stairs, who belonged to the
morning, so brisk, so fresh, so practical
she appeared. She held a book in her
hand. The door, open for her imme-
date departure, showed, beyond tile
descent of marble steps, the landau
glistening back against white pave
ments. 1t was unusual for this formal
vehicle to put in an appearance so
early.
Fl am going to drive over to the
Purdies'." Clara explained. II have
an errand there
Flora smiled at the thought of how
many persons would be having errands
to the Purdies now. 1t was refreshing
TO catch Clara in this weakness. She
felt a throb of it herself when she
recalled the GREATNESS moment at the
supper toble last evening. ooh, thai

We see now how Herschel worked al

We see now how Herschel worked at
his great problem, the method by
which he solved it. Believing that our
solar system was in motion through
space, he expected to find the stars
gradually spreading away from the
point toward which it was moving, just
as the two lights at the entrance to a
harbor appear to move away from each
other as a ship approaches them.
Guided by this inspiration he set him
self to his sublime task, and in the
course of time he startled the scientific
world by the announcement of his sue
cess. He no only found that the OBJ
%jective point of our system is within
the confines of Hercules, but he demon
strated the speed at which 1t moves in
its majestic flight.-Daily News.
