may have exceeded this limit. but this
is the tninnest so far as ! know. But a
platinum wire has been drawn to dia-

The method was to surround platinum

was dissolved off with nitric acid. leaving
the excessively thin. insoluble thread OF

The first Of the spring consultations that

You will see 1t high In the south, near

Turn your face northward after look

are flying eastward and two westward,
with a speed Of hundreds Of thousands OF
miles per day: yet so immense is their
distance from the earth that only the
astronomer with his delicate means OF
measurement, can detect their motion.
But we know that the time win come
when the figure OF the Great Bear will
dissolve like q face In the clouds. The
whole universe is In notion and every
star has Its allotted course; but some
