THE BUTTERFLY MARKET.
Once $1,000 was Quoted as the Value
of Rare Specimen.

There are many butterflies whose
value to collectors is very great, but
although $4,000 has been quoted as
aggerated price.
Some years ago the female of GER
tain variety was much sought after by
collectors, and only one or two speci-
mems had been obtained. A clever fell
low centred all his efforts upon OBJ
tanning a large supply OF this particu-
lar insect. Unfortunately. he killed
his own market by putting them all
up for sale at once and instead of
realizing large figure for each speci-
men he only sold a few.
There are specimens at our own
Natural History Museum to-day which
are of considerable value and one
which has the largest expanse of wing
of any known butterfly was once
pointed out by a collector who had
obtained it as being worth 81 500. A
contrast to this huge insect is a tiny
specimen from Ceylon which meas
ures about half an inch across.
The value OF an insect varies in
proportion to the amount of money
spent in gettin~ it, and when some
rich collector has had to equip and
send out a complete expedition in or
der to obtain a specimen or two of
one particular butterfly. one can un-
derstand him pricing such specimens
according to the cost of the expedi-
tion, and it is in this way that so
many fancy values are heard of. Any
thing up to $3.50 a pair, however. is
not an uncommon price.

The Life of Service.

No life is really worth living that is
not useful life, and which does not
exalt the idea of service. The life Of
the Apostle Paul was eminently sue.
cessful, not as tried by the standards
Of Caesar, but as measured athwart
the great plans of Jehovah. because
Paul put God first and Paul last, and
kept before him the ideal of the body
presented as living sacrifice, as
outlined in the twelfth chapter OF Ro.
mans. The Pauline ideal OF conse-
Grafton that daily serves both God and
man is the only principle which should
rule the development of present-day
Christian life.

This was Christ's own sweetest Joy.

The passage in the Book of Kings

The celebration has been a wonder.

and achievement, of scientific progress
and development But is this. after
all, the matter of greatest import"~ o."
We have a great many things that the
men and women OF three hunu ca

any better men and women than &c ey
were?
We live great deal faster than
they did, but do we live any better Or

These are the questions we ought 20

of progress.

All this modern material progress
is of very little value unless it hclps

brings us into closer fellowship with
God and makes us more worthy to en-

We have enjoyed the festivity and
the excitement. the naval and military
display, the varied and Kaleidoscope
scenes. But no one except children
would like to have the fun and festiv-
ity continue indefinitely. Most of us
are glad that the end has come. The
rush and hurry of the holiday season
soon become monotonous and barren
of interest.
It is significant, | think, that
young society woman should have an

festivity her dissatisfaction and dis
gust with a life devoted to the

of dissatisfaction helps to reveal the
emptiness OF a life given over wholly
to selfish pleasure. Life is empty and
barren of any real happiness without
something worth while to do for the
glory of God and the good of our fell
low men.
God help us to listen intently for
the still small voice in our souls, the
voice of duty, the voice of unselfish-
ness. the voice of the Spirit OF God.

Yerke's Observatory, Williams Bay,
Wis.,, May 19.-Following close upon
the wholly unexpected astronomical
condition that prevailed early this
morning, when the tail of Halley's
comet was plainly seen in the east,
astronomers at the Yerke's observa-
tory here today were further bewildA
cred by a startling appar1tion across
the fact Of the sun at noon time.
A broad spectrum Of light, extend
ing across and a considerable distance
to each side of the sun, challenged
the attention Of the vigilant and
weary observers in no uncertain
fashion.
For the second time in a dozen
hours the little band of scientisls
here was aroused to a point of much
excitement. Prof. E. B. Frost, who
first sighted the phenomena declared
he never before had witnessed it's
like. Prof. E. E. Barnard said the
same. Hoping to secure an accurate
check on the strange spectrum, Prof.
Frost at once telephoned to observ-
ers within a radius of 100 miles of
Williams Bay, calling attention to the
peculiarly of the occurrence. The
apparition continued for less than
half an hour.
The spectrum at once became
topic for overmastering interest and
conjecture. Enormous sun spots seen
Wednesday afternoon, followed by
brilliant displays of aurora lights at
night, and these in turn succeeded by
various reports of fiery streamers
shooting across the horizon to the
southwest. have been passed upon by
the astronomers as having absolutely
no direct connection with the comet.
But the spectrum became another
story.
although I cannot advance an
opinion at this time," said Professor
Frost, II can see no other cause but
the comet for the appearance of the
spectrum
He seems to feel that the two are
related in some as yet unexplained
manner. The passage of the tail of
