Squarinu the Circle.

Tho origin of the problem sQuaring
the circle is almost lost In the mists OF
antiquity. hut there is record of an
attempted quadrature IN Egypt 500
years before the exodus OF the Jews.
There is also Il claim. according to
Hone. that the problem was solved by
Il discovery OF Hipprocates. the geom-
etrician OF Chios-not the physician
500 BIC. Now, the efforts OF Hippoc-
rates were devoted toward converting
Il circle into II crescent. because he had
found that the area OF figure pro-
duced by drawing two perpendicular
radii In circle is exactly equal to the
triangle formed by the line OF juno

the "lunes OF Hippocrates" and Is. like

which sometimes follow search for

DANCING STARS.
The T~lnklsrs Seem to Jump When
Viewed Through a Telescope

The Tvvirkisrs 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 telescope. but with n telescope
they may he seen tn jump and actual
y TO dance The cause IL rhe saIne-
mixing currents of light and heavy
air causing rerractIon or bending Of
the rays Of light coming from th, star
We can see he same phenomenon by
looking at small object In a room
through the air directly DER q bot
radiator. The object seems to jump
and dance as II playing hide and seek
with Itself.
This jumping In the telescope or
twinkling to the naked eye has also
been explained by what Il called In
reference. IL two sources OF light are
placed close to each other, then on n
screen placed properly we can catch
an alternate band OF white and dark
lines. OF course II the eye be placed
at q dark line It can see neither source
of light The production of these dark
lines IL accomplished by different
light waves reaching the screen In op-
posite phases so as to blot out or can
Gel the effect due to each. In like man
ner IL can be shown that IL the star
has polychromatic light 1t can and has
actually been observed TO change color
from this effect alone.
The best time to observe this effect
OF star dancing 10 on cold. crisp
night. The telescope should be point
ed 10 a twinkling star as near the
horizon as can be found. as TO see q
star on the horizon we have to look
through much more atmosphere than
to see one in the zenith, aud there is
consequently more chance for varied
currents.-St Louis Republic

TO SWAMP THE LORDS.
A Threat That Always Brings Eng
lands Upper House to Terms.

A Threat That Always Brings Eng
lands Upper House to Terms.
To override the veto OF the house of
lords by a Wholesale creation of peers
Is q plan that has been often threat
ened. but hardly ever put into prac.
tice. 1t certainly places the king I'm a
very unenviable predicameut 80 much
10 that In 17l9. after a crisis of the
kind. George 1. caused to be intro
duced into the lords a bill for ilmihng
the power OF the sovereign To- create
peers, a sort of royal self denying or
dinance.
The measure was twice passed In the
lords. but twice rejected by the com
mons. which was lucky. for had 1t
been carried 1t would have made the
body. entirely beyond the control Of
king or minister or commons
The nearest approach that was ever
made to "swamping the lords was In
1892, when the fate Of the great re-
form bill trembled in the balance. Over
and over again the measure had been
passed by the commons. only TO be re-
jected by the lords. The country was
furious. Payment Of taxes was re-
fused. Riots broke out everywhere.
The prime minister. Lord Grey. went
to the king and begged him to create
new peers to carry the bill. His mai
esty refused. and the ministry re
signed. The king. however. presently
changed his mind and. fearing a revo
luton. agreed to the creation OF hun
dred new peers. "or more II necessary
Then. very reluctantly. the upper house
gave way. and the bill became law
