Another Deadly Peril.
CAN SEE STARS THRO'
1000, 1000 LIGHT YEARS
From the chicago Tribune

With his 4O-foot reflector Sir William
licrschel penetrated stars whose light. he
concluded had occupied 100000 years in
reaching the earth
His belief that he has seen farther into
space than any other human being before
him is now pronounced a just one by the
noted astronomer, DIR. II. j. j. See The
visual power of Hcrschcrs telescope Is
somewhat surpassed by modern instru-
incnts, and much additional power is Civ
en- to the modern instrument by the use
of photography. But on the other hand
we now have to- take account of the ex-
tinction of light by cos1nical dust in space.
Neglecting this, IIerschell slightly over
estimated the distance to which his teie-
scope could penetrate. With our greater
modern instruments and the use of pho
Biography 1t is certain. DR.. See tells us,
that we can observe stars AT Il distance 0f
over 100000 light years. 1t is very prob
able that we can penetrate 5,O0O,O00 light
years. a modern silver-on-glass reflector
of IL feet apertures would give about six
times as much light as the 60-inch re-
flector at Pasadena gives.
With this gain of two ;magnitudes in
light power it might be possible to pene-
trate into space at least twice the present

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON.
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

1t is learned that number Of new
and relatively important manuscripts
of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session OF some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing vol
cano in action. supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit OF
kilauea in Hawaii; piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and
Number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, blank
verse relation of well-known legend
of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and

Roses in Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives 80 remedies compounded of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping ON rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as pick-me-up
after his periodical gormandizing
hours. The flower was also served
at table, both as garnish. in the way
parsley is now used. and as a salad.
and rose water was largely used for
f1avoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among western ma
tons. but the Chinese still eat rose
fritters.
