A Large Profit.

Life is a matter of adjustment and
not of circumstance. The financial
affairs of the old watercress man in
James Greenwood's The Wilds of
London" were as large and seemed
to him to be of as much moment as
are the manipulations Of the Wall
Street broker. The watercress man
was a crippled old Londoner who had
been a soldier in his younger days.
and who. at the time Of writing.
numbered seventy-six years.
The rheumatism was to him a
malignant foe. His home was
wretched, but he told me he would
rather die than go to the workhouse.
l saw him one morning in Novem-
ber, down at the watercress beds
near Hackney, and talked to him as
he stood on the frosty planks stretch
ed over the oozy beds, where the
crosses grew, and from which the
men were gathering by torchlight,
1t was fully three hours before day
light.

Number of the StarS,

On directing the eye to the celes-
t!al vault the Impression made upon
the mind is that Of an incalculable
number Of stars being visible-a host
which our arithmetic will not suffice
10 reckon. But this is an optical IL
lusion. The twinkling and disorder
ly position Of the stars confuse and
deceive the sight. An ordinary eye.
1t has been estimated. will only dis
Germ at one time about 5000 stars
in our armament under the most
favorable circumstances, and includ-
ing both hemispheres there will not
be more than 5000 visible to a keen
and experienced gaze.
Using an instrument of no great
size-little more than two inches
wide-there have been not less than
10000 stars charted in the north
ern half of the heavens alone. 1t
Is calculated that the total number
visible in the entire celestial vault
with the aid of the larger telescopes
would mount up TO 77,000,000.

\ New Method OF Electric Welding

\ New Method OF Electric Welding.
l.. S. Lachman has devised a new
process of electric welding which
makes II possible to employ steel in
stead of malleable iron in the manu-
tacturo of numerous articles. AS
Two unequal sections cannot tie weld
ed together satisfactorily. Lachman
has one piece cast with a projecting
edge and the other with a point. The
two projections, forced together BY a
hydraulic press. are included in a :,
electric circuit, of w-Ich they form
the segment of highest resistance.
Hence, when strong current is
caused to flow through them, they
are heated nearly or quite to the
melting point and, Delng subjected
to great pressure, quickly become
welded together, and attach them
selves to each other more firmly than
they could be attached by means of
rivets, because there is no break in
the continuity of the metal.

BreeCIl.LOaderS.

Breech-loading cannon were among
the earliest used. We find them
on English and other ships as early
as the last quarter of the fourteenth
century, and therefore much before
the time of the buccaneers. The
cannon was a mere tube. bound with
heavy iron rings. and was loaded
by the insertion of the "gonne cham
ber." an iron pan containing the
charge, which fitted into and closed
the breech. These guns were very
clumsy affairs In comparison with
the modern breech-loader. but the
principle was the same.

DON'T GET RUSTY.
Keep Your Body and Soul Clean By
Working 1hem.

The machine that lies idle is far
more liable to injury than the ma
chine that runs.
Air and dampness do more damage
than wear and tear. Let the machine
remain inactive q while and the coat
ing formed by the corosion soon
covers the bright metal and the parts
become stiff and cranky.
A man neglects the working parts
of his body. Normally these parts
should be exercised. He INDUCES his
members in iuIeness. Whatever vi
tality and working force they may
have hau when il continued use,
neglect causes the machinery to run
stlfily. 1t is the rust.
A man may neglect to exercise
his working brain forces. He may
lave ever so quick mind. but If he
UOes not use has mental machinery
the rust of idleness is soon over it.
:. man may neglect to use the
moral forces tnat are in him. There
/ is a weakening somewhere. The ma
chine let's down. And soon the parts
are rusted.
I When the primary or the conven-
ton or the ball0.-boX working
/ parts of government-are neglected
the rust collects. The machinery
works poorly. 1t may break down,
/ Keep your body working without
friction by systematic exercise.
Keep your mind bri~ht by using
1t.
Keep your soul clean by working
1t.
And SO for society-nine-tenth OF
its evils are caused by the idleness
OF its necessary working parts.

ADVANCE OF YEARS.
Happily Many People Fail to Real
izR IL

Isn't it curious said Mr.. Flick
erton, according to the Boston Her
aid. how we get lost about the
age of people, and particularly of
people whose age we might well be
supposed to know?
I'VE hear. for instance. of the
death of Walkinshaw, aged Ga, and
we say to ourselves. Goodness,
you don't mean to tell me that
Walkinshaw was GA? And yet we
may have known him intimately
and have seen him daily for 40
years, since he was "a; and if any
body ought to have known his age
we ought.
But as a matter of fact it is
those very people whom we do see
constantly whose ages we fail to
far .as it's outward signs are con-
crned. steals on them gradually.
IF we see a man only at inter-
walls of 10 or 20 years, why then
the changes in him may be so APP
parent that we cannot fail to note
them; but in the man we see from
day to day we see no change at all;
there is no sinking sign to make
us realize that he is growing older;
and so we are likely to carry him
forward in our minds as of the age
at which we first knew him. 1t is
then that he makes his first strong
clear impression on us; and that
D ~
many years and against many
changes.
Il know do this commonly.
carry men forward as of the age at
which first knew them; they al
ways seem so to me. And then
something happens that brings ur
the question of age and my friend
says to me that he's 81 and l say:
What. 57?' And really it is 6
great surprise to me, and | find il
hard to realize it.
Il can scarcely believe it, ever
though l have known him for 81
years and when l first knew hin
little, or he may be greatly changed
but however that may be l have
never realized it any more than
have the lapse of time, passing da!
by day.
Happily. this is true also as t.
our own selves. We don't realize
our own advancing years. Ever
though we look in mirror nov
and then we see no signs of age, o
none to amount to anything. W.
may be gray as badgers or othe
people, but our hair doesn't lool
that way to us. We may be grow
ing positively portly, but over tha

Prof. John A. Brashear, of Allie
gheny, in a signed statement, gives
notice to the public that on June II,
there will be an eclipse of the sun,
unlike any other eclipse within the
knowledge of man. In part, Prof.
Brashear says:
THE eclipse will be of very in
teresting character from the fact
that for a few seconds it will be
an annular eclipse, then change to a
total eclipse, then back to an annu-
lar eclipse for the second time. The
writer cannot find record of such
an occurrence in any history of as
tronomy, although we have records
of annular eclipses for 400 years
and of total eclipses for thousands
of years. The eclipse as a partial
phase of greater or lesser magni-
tude will sweep over the North
American continent from the north,
decreasing in size as it passes
through Canada and the States"

$4,000 FREAK BUILDING.
a Peculiar Looking Building to be
Erected in New York.


New York is to have another
freak building, but it is not as a
result of a desire to vent a feeling
of spite such as impelled Joseph
Richardson to build the famous
house at the corner of Lexington
Avenue and Eighty-second street,
because the owner of the adjoining
house refused to pay him his price.
The new candidate for a place in
the role of odd buildings is to be
erected by Lowenfeld 3 Prayer at
the southwest corner of Delaney
and Clinton streets. Their plans,
which were filed last week, show
that a two-story building costing
$4,000, for offices and stores, will
be built on strip 6.11xl00 feet,
which was left by the cutting away
of the blocks for the plaza of the
Williamsburg Bridge. The Rich
ardson house rises to a height of
five stories, and only covers a lot
measuring 5x10O.
