But Not Until Maynard Was Nearly
Dead From Terror.
Regnier, the French satirist of the
reign of Louis Kill, forced a quarrel
upon the poet Maynard, who was al
most Quakerlsh in his love of peace.
Maynard could not we'll avoid the ap-
pearance of taking up the quarrel, but
Immediately after the preliminaries
sought out his patron, Comte de Cler-
mont-Lodeve, and begged him to "sur-
prise" the party at the dueling ground
and break up the affair. The count
promised. and Maynard went away
with lighter heart. But his patron,
wanting some amusement, FASTENED to
the field and concealed himself in the
shrubbery before the party arrived.
Maynard went through the first stages
of preparation very well, but grew
more and more nervous as time passed
and the count did not appear. Then
he began to play for delay First he
was sure that his sword was shorter
than his adversary's, necessitating a
slow and technical measurement. Next
his boots hurt him, and he had a long,
hard struggle to get them off his feet.
At last, after the cold Precipitation had
begun to drip from his brow and he
was more dead than alive, his pro-
tector emerged suddenly from the
bushes and lnterfered A peace was
soon patched up, Maynard declaring
that if he had said anything disagree
able about Regnier he had not intend
ed to do so and Regnier accepting this
as balm for bis wounded feelings. AS
Maynard threw down his sword at the
close of the parley and reached for his
hat he was heard to murmur, "Anoth,
er time l shall trust to my own wits
to pull me out of a scrape, for If had
depended on the count l might have
been made into mincemeat half hour

A oussr Fish.

A male fish which matches the young
of its mate is the Chromis pater-.
famllias. 1t is found In the Lake
Of Tiberias. Palestine. Strange to
say, this industrious fish hatches its
young In its mouth. When the female
has spawned In the sand. the male
approaches and draws the eggs into
his gills, where they remain until
hatched, when they struggle out of
their confinement into the parents
mouth. AS many as 200 perfect
young are sometimes found in the
mouth Of an adult male. How the
fish manages to feed itself without
swallowing the young is a mystery.
The grown fish Is about seven inches
long and one and three-quarters wide.
Its back is olive green. shot with
blue. and the belly is silver white,
marked with green and blue. Near
ancient Capernaum some hot springs
form Il small stream which runs into
the lake. and it is in these warm
waters that the chromis abounds.

The Sun.

1t is computed that the temperature
of the sun would be expressed by 49,,
600 degrees Of Fahrenheit's thermome-
ter, or about ninety times the tempera-
ture of boiling water. This is about
FIVE times the temperature that man is
able to produce by artificial means.
The light given off from the surface of
the sun Is reckoned as being $500
times more intense than that of the
molten metal in a Bessemer converter,
though that is of an almost binding
brllliancy, or, IL we compare it with
the oxyhydrogen flame, the sun sheds
light equal in brillianey TO 146 times

DANCING STARS.
The TwinkIers Seem to Jump When
Viewed Through Telescope.

The TwinkIers Seem to Jump When
Viewed Through Telescope.
One of the most interesting things
appearing in the telescope when that
instrument is pointing heavenward is
the appearance of jumping stars. OF
course we can see stars twinkle with
out a telescope, but with a telescope
they may be seen to jump and actual
ly to dance The cause is the same
mixing currents of light and heavy
air causing refraction or bending of
the rays of light coming from the star.
We can see the same phenomenon by
looking at a small object in room
through the air directly over hot
radiator. The object seems to jump
and dance as If playing hide and seek
with itself
This jumping IN the telescope or
twinkling to the naked eye has also
been explained by what is called In
reference. If two sources of light are
placed close to each other, then on
screen placed properly we can catch
an alternate band of white and dark
lines. OF course If the eye be placed
at dark line it can see neither source
of light The production of these dark
lines is accomplished by different
light waves reaching the screen I'm op-
posite phases SO as to blot out or can
eel the effect due to each. In like man.
ner It can be shown that If the star
has polychromatic light it can and has
actually been observed to change color
from this effect alone.
The best time to observe this effect
Of star dancing is on cold. crisp
night. The telescope should be point
ed to a twinkling star as near the
horizon as can be found, as to see a
star on the horizon WI have to look
through much more atmosphere than
to see one in the zenith. and there is
consequently more chance for varied
currents.-St. Louis Republic.
