Come to think about it, it wasn't a fire

year than the entire inhabitants of South

sumption last month, in the prime of

MAKING PHOTOGRAPHS
OF THE HEAVENLY STARS
When Done With Ordinary Camera
Tbav cbo,,, ss -, Ma e-.-I..

When Done With Ordinary Camera
They Show as Lines, Not specks.
1t is an easy matter merely to pho
tograph stars. The trouble is to pic
ture them as points and not SIS streaks,
for as the earth rotates it carries the
Photographic apparatus with 1t, and
the light from the star makes a limo,
while the astronomer wants a point.
He must therefore devise a machine
that will counteract the movement Of
the earth and so keep the light steadily
in the same place on the plato, Elab-
crate clockwork must turn the lens
backward to keep it on the star and at
the same rate as that at which the
earth moves forward.
An astronomer at the Yerkes ObserT.
atory at Williams Bay, Wis, is quoted
in st. Nicholas as saying that many
Of the most important results OF as
tronomy have been derived from the
use Of an ordinary camera. On a clear
night point one OF these toward the
north pole, and it VIII be found after
an exposure Of one or two hours that
the stars which lie near the pole have
drawn arcs OF circles upon the plate.
This is due to the fact that the earth
is rotating upon its axis at such a rate
as to cause every star in the sky to
appear to travel through a complete
circle once in twenty-four hours.
The mere act Of photographing is not
much more difficult than a short ex-
pcsUre out of the window Of a moving
car. Any one can try it.
Let the exposure be for at least five
minutes if the camera is pointed over
head. and for at least one hour II d.
rected toward the pole star. The cam
era may be left out all night If pointed
at the pole, but must be taken in Just
before daylight The longer the ex-
posure the longer the star Scratches"
Develop the plate as long as possible.

THE SKULL BANJO AN
INSTRUMENT THAT IS UNIQUE
Probably the Most erewsoms Musical
Instrument Known.

Probably the Most Grewsome Musical
Instrument Known.
It Is a well known fact that through
dire necessity the American Indian has
developed remarkable skill. The old
stories Of how these Indians made
pottery and earthenware by the aid Of
only the most crude instruments and
Of their methods Of burning and carv-
ing out the insides Of the trunks OF
trees to make canoes are universally
known.
But even with all their skill the fact
that they were a barbarous, uncivflized
race cannot be evaded, as is shown by
this grewsome instrument In the time
OF the early settlers Of this hemisphere
their acts Of cruelty were without prec-
edent in the history Of the world.
With these facts IN view We can
easily understand how the skull ban
jO' came TO light 1t is known that in
the small country Of Paraguay, in the
east central part Of South America.
the Indians who inhabited that place
were more than ordinarily cruel They
were constantly engaged IN warfare,
and their primary aim when thus en-
gagged was to capture the chief Of the
opposing side. When captured, this
parsonage was carried to their camp
and there cruelty murdered, and it
was from his body that this awe nspir-
ing musical instrument was made.
The instrument is made as follows:
The body is decapitated, and the skull
IS then thoroughly dried. The one WHO
is to perform the feat Of making the
instrument then cuts the top entirely
OF. Over the opening thus made a
piece OF skin taken from the body and
also thoroughly dried Is tightly stretch
ed in the manner Of a drum. From the
back OF the skull the two femurs or the
two bones Of the leg which extend
from the knee to the hip project. These
bones have been so trimmed that they
are Of uniform thickness throughout
their entire length. The upper ends Of
these bones are Joined together With
one Of the ribs, also taken from that
body.
Then from the forehead Of the skull
to the rib which connects the two fe-
murs a number Of strings are tightly
stretched. These strings are likewise
made from the skin OF the victim, hay
ing been thoroughly dried, stretched
and rubbed with rosin.
But this even is not the full extent
OF the grewsomeness Of this instru-
ment, for the skull is left so that the
jaws are movable. Therefore with
each shake OF the instrument the jaws
wag, and with q sharp jolt Of the in
strument the teeth come together with
q snap.-New York Herald.
