Pleasant Communion.

Henry S. Baker. of New York. who IS
at the New Ebbitt, related this incident
last evening: The infrmity Of a woman
who arrived a few days ago on a train
which made only a few stops between
Buffalo and New 1 ork made her con-
spicuous on the journey and decidedly
unpopular. She was quite deaf, and was
accompanied by a companion who knew
the names of the points along the Hud
son, and, pointing them out, made ex-
planatory remarks which were audible
all over the car. Presently she opened
a book and began TO read to the deaf
woman in the same stentorian tones. to
the evident annoyance of some of the
other passengers. The reading had gone
on Tor nearly an hour. when man from
the farther end of the car approached
and. raising his cap, said: Might 1 ask
you to read the last chapter again? The
man next to me is slightly deaf and
didn't get it all. a pack of cards was
produced and silent solitaire took up the
time of the two women until the Grand
Central terminus was reached"

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
There are in all twenty-five moons be-
sides our queen of night: Mars having
two, Jupiter eight, Saturn ten, Uranus
four, and Neptune one. OF course, new
lunar additions are likely to be discov-
cred at any time. although it is i'm
probable that Mercury and Venus have
any satellites or that Mars has more
than two. The two known moons of
Mars are, indeed. very minute, neither
being over fifty miles in diameter. On
the other hand. Jupiter's first four sateI-
lites, as well as Ganymede. are each
larger than Queen Luna. Ganymede hav-
ing a diameter of about $3.50 miles.
Titan. of Saturn. possesses a diameter
approximating 5000 miles. while that
of Neptune's sole satellite is about 1000
miles.
AS respects our own moon, Queen
Luna has one-fOrty- the size and
one-eighty-first the weight of our earth
Luna's distance from US varies a good
deal, from 221,OO0 miles to $4,000 miles.
Her mean or average distance is about
23S,O miles
