Bismarck and the Eggs.

After the battle of Sedan the old
Emperor William supped off a piece
of dry bread, while he sat on lad
der that was supported on one side
by barrel and on the other by the
body of a dead horse.
Bismarck used to delight to re-
late that when he was foraging
with two companions in an almost
deserted village during the Franco
Prussian war he came upon a man
from whom he got five eggs. I'm
able to divide the five equally
among three. he swallowed two.
Then, calling his companions, he
shared the three. remaining eggs
with them--a truly Bismarckian
idea of an equable division, says
the writer who describes the Incl
dent.

The Burglar.

A burglar was one night engaged
in the pleasing occupation of stow
ing good haul of swag in his bag
when he was startled by a touch
upon his shoulder, and, turning his
head, he beheld venerable, mild
eyed clergyman gazing sadly at him.
ooh, my brother" groaned the
reverend gentleman, "wouldst thou
rob me? Turn, beseech YOU
turn from thy evil ways. Return
those stolen goods and depart in
peace, for am merciful and for
give. Begone"
And the burglar, only too thank
full at not being given into the Gus
tody of the police, obeyed and skunk
swiftly off.
Then the good old man carefully
and quietly packed the swag into
another bag and walked softly $50
as not to disturb the slumber of the
inmates) out of the house and away
into the silent night For he, too,
was a burglar.

OUR SUN is NOT VERY HOT.
Compared With Some stars It Has q
Rather Low Temperature.

Compared with some other stars,
our sun is rather cool. Recent
measurements show that there is
at least one star with a temperature
eighty times as great. In fact, our,
sun ranks low among the brilliant
stars. Yet the heat given off by
our sun hourly has been reckoned
as equal to burning layer of coal
twenty feet thick over the SUMS en-
tire understanding our coal trust
seem like puny affair, and its
prosecution about on par with
pinching baby. Measurements
made in Germany are described in
Cosmos by writer who tells us
that DR.. Rosenberg Of the Oster-
berg observatory at Tubingen, Wurt-
temberg, studied geographically,
from 1907 to 1909, the spectra Of
the seventy most brilliant stars Of
the northern hemisphere, whose
brightness is between the first and
third magnitudes, to determine how
differences of intensities are dis
tributed in their spectra. By sys-
tematic comparison with the spec.
trum of the sun he has deduced tha
effective temperature of these stars
According to these Investigations,
the hottest star among those con-
sidered is Gamma of the constella-
ton Pegasus, of the magnitude
2.S7, according to the Harvard pho
tometric classification, whose tenn
perature reaches the astonishing
figure of 100000 degrees c., and
the coolest is Alpha Tauri or Aldeb-
aran magnitude 1.06), with only
$3.50 degrees, a temperature lower
than may be reached in our terres-
trial laboratories!
The temperature at the top of
DR.. Rosenberg's scale is quite ex-
ceptional, for the next in order falls
to $4,000 degrees, that of the star
Gamma of Cassiopeia. On the other
hand, at the lower end of the scale
we find a dozen stellar bodies whose
temperature is only equal to or low
er than that of the electric arc.
1t should be added that on this
scale the sun, whose spectrum has
served as a basis of investigation
and comparison for these calcula-
tons, occupies place near that Of
Capella, with a temperature of
1850 degrees C.-Translation in
Literary Digest.

Nation Refused Legacy.

Occasionally somebody makes will
bequeathing money to help pay off a
national debt. In 1878 Col. Thomas
Norton of Southwick, England, be-
queathed $150,000 for this patriotic
purpose. Probate was opposed, and
the Judge who tried the case decided
that the colonel was insane, such a
legacy being only as a drop of water
poured into the sea-" THE legacy was
therefore divided among the members
of the Norton family.
The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1913-11-06
Gave Good Reasons.

General Nelson A. Miles during
active service one day received a
telegram from subordinate who
was on furlough, but was expect
ed back that day. The dispatch
read:
"Sorry, but cannot report today
as expected owing to unavoidable
circumstances"
The tone of the message did not
please the general, and he wired
back, 'Report at once or give rea-
Fons."
Back came the answer from a
hospital: "Train off, can't ride; legs
off, can't walk" - Ladies' Home
Journal.
