Through a Big Telescope.

The first look through great tele-
scope is disappointing, but the novice
soons sees that the fiat appearance
which the heavens present to the
naked eye is replaced by curious con-
cavity; the moon and stars seem to be
hung in space rather than spread out
on a fat surface. For moment one
feels at the telescope like a child
watching the swift moving balls kept
in the air by q Juggler and expecting
TO see one Of those great, bright bodies
fall. Then comes the thought, What
keeps them there, apparently suspend
ed in space with absolutely nothing to
hold them firm? The explanation OF
the learned astronomer causes the
brain Of the layman to whirl, and he
sees himself. perhaps for the first
time. as a child gathering pebbles on
the great shores Of the sea Of knowl-
edge or as IAN infant in the night an
infant crying for the light, and with no
language but a cry."-National Maya

Of plovers' eggs that year.
"'Even though she said, they have

see why their price should have nearly
doubled, do your

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAR. 2. 1919.
TennIss Of Siam.

Once a year all the Buddhist temples
In Siam are visited by the king or his
deputies, bearing the phra kathin Gel-
low robes, In conformity with an an
cient custom by which the priests were
made to seek their apparel for the en-
suing year. During the lifetime OF
Buddha monks and priests were sent
out to beg for old castoff garments,
which were afterward dyed yellow and
patched together 10 form the required
robes. This ancient mendicant Gus
tom gradually gave place to the pres
ent one of making the garments from
a new cloth Of a bright canary yellow,
provided by joint contributions OF
king. princes, mobiles and commoners.
When the king goes in the royal throne
barge to present the robes In person
he does so with great pomp and cere-
mony. The priestly garments, folded
In bundles, are carried TO the door OF
the temple to await the appearance OF
his majesty and his suit The king
ON arriving takes a priestly robe and
places It on a decorated altar. The
chief priest then lays his hands on the
garment and chants an acknowledg-
ment.-Wide World Magazine.

A story is told Of an English clergy
man who owed his appointment to a
rich living to a lucky pun. lie was
tutor to the son of a nobleman and
had not long taken orders when he
attended the funeral Of the rector Oh
the parish in which the nobleman's
seat was situated. The father Of his
pupil was patron Of the living and
was also present at the funeral OF
the deceased rector There was
young clergyman present also whose
grief was so demonstrative that the
noble patron was much affected by the
sight and asked If the young man was
a son of the deceased gentleman.
ooh, dear, no, my lord-no relation
at ALL" said the tutor.
mo relation exclaimed the noble
man In a surprised tone.
"None, my lord. He Is the curate,
and l think he is not weeping for the
dead, but for the living"
His lordship, who was something Of
a wit and a cynic himself, was so de-
lighted with the bonmot that he con-
ferred the living upon the ready pun

Court Dress of Laureate.

Tennyson's court dress when he re-
ceived the laureateshlp did not cost
him much, for it was the same court
dress worn by Wordsworth, who in
turn had it from the old poet Rogers
and it is still in the Wordsworth fam

a little fellow. Tennyson had no pas
sion for courts, and so he went In Sec
ond hand to save cost. - New YORK
