Size Of tha Sun.

The sun is the fire which warns the
earth's surface, but its heat is felt only
when it falls upon bodies whose tenn
perature can be raised. To gain an
idea Of the suns power and brilliancy
we may roughly compare it to the
light produced by the electric current
when 1t leaps across a small air gap
between two rods of carbon. This tiny
1ame Is known as the electric are, and
1t will light surface Of several hun
dred square yards. The face of the
sun is two and quarter millions of
millions of square miles, and its bril-
liancy is more than double that of the
electric light. In point Of size the
sun is 500 times larger than all the
planets put together. Compared solely
with our own planet, it would take
100000 of earths to make a globe
about as large as the sun. Of all the
heat which the sun sends Off the earth
receives but small fraction, which is
said to be less than a two-thousand
millinnth

Nevertheless he discovered how to
live every day SO as to get something

He was never SO tired that he could
not end something worth while in the

TO study some person about him, Sc

AS a fierce tigress throws herself In

The little one escaped with scratch,

While the children stood about her
screaming in their fright Mrs. Young
fought the furious beast single hand

And she bad the advantage.
Because she was not fighting for her

Finally, with a howl of defeat, the
dog gave way and ran from the place.
The little ones were saved.
But at what expense!
The body Of the poor mother was

History records one war that was

the Spanish succession. A lady, Mrs.
Masham, a celebrated court beauty.

she was obstructed by the Marquis de
Torey. A slight scuffie ensued. and the
water was spilled. The marquis lost
his temper, and bad feeling ensued be-
tween the English aud French courts.
with the ultimate result that war was
declared. The campaign cost France
many severe battles--viz. Blenheim,
1904; Families, 1707; Audenardi, 1908.
and Malplaquit. 1709.
Fully as absurd In its origin was the
war that took place during the COM
monwealth of Modena. A soldier stole
bucket from public well belonging
to the state Of Bologna. Although the
value OF the article did not exceed
few pennies. the incident was the sig
nal for a fierce and prolonged war.
Henry, the king Of Sardinia, assisted
the Modenese to retain the bucket, and
in one of the subsequent battles be
was made a prisoner. The bucket Is
still exhibited in the tower Of the Ca
