Astronomical Discovery.

One Of the greatest discoveries OF
science is due to observation of the
eclipses of Jupiter's moons. 1t was
found that when the earth was in the
part Of it's orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen min
utes earlier than when it was in the
farthermost part; whereas by all
rules of astronomy they should have
occurred at the same minute each
time. It was deduced from this that
light was not instantaneous, and con-
sequently took sixteen minutes to
traverse the diameter OF the earth's
orbit, distance of about two hundred
million miles, thus giving to light q
velocity Of one hundred and eighty
six thousand miles a second, which
was accurately shown later by other
experiments.

young gentleman approached him and
said, "Ah, Senator, how de do? l call

my card?" Eyes," said the senator,
but what did you mean by writing
e. p in the corner?" "Oh, that's the
correct thing, you know" said the
young man, when you leave the card
yourself. 1t means ZEN personne,' left
in person" Next day 1t was the sem

and accosted him with the question,
did you get my card? l called on
you this morning" "Yes," was the re-
ply, but what in the world did you
mean, senator, by writing IS. B. A. NJ

Pleasant Trip to
Chattanooga
CONTINUED from First Page)

Chicamauga Park, back along
Missionary Ridge, passed the Nat
ional Cemetery hack to the city.
To say that we enjoyed this ride is
stating the case mildly. The day
was a beautiful one-clear and the
morning air cool and refreshing.
While we Ell joyed the ride through
the park it was with feeling OF
sadness, that we viewed the scenes
where so many of our brave boys
lost their lives during the battle OF
Chicamauga in the Civil War.
Monuments. cannons, etc, mark
the places of interest. We could
almost hear the cannons roar. see
the smoke and see the men fall.
Heroes every one of them whether
they wore the blue or gray. We
went up into the tower at the Gen.
Wilder Monument and could see all
over the attlefeld. This tower is
nearly 100 feet high and has stone
steps leading to top on the inside.
From its summit one can see to the
left the old Snodgrass building and
the hill which Gen. Thomas held
until late in the evening and where
SO many lost their lives.
At the foot at little to the right
is the pond which was known as
the pool of blood". During the
three days fighting this pond was
the only place where the men could
secure water. 1t became pool of
blood and men crawled to it's edge
to wash their wounds-and secure
a drop of water to quench their
terrible thirst.

ment-beautifu white marble erect

of Georgia to her brave boys who
fell during the battle is field on /
which charge and counter charges !
were made. This was covered two !
and three feet deep with dead and
wounded men-and many were
trampleG to death at the last.
The battle was fought at close
range-Which accounts for the great
loss Of life. We lifted our hat from
our head and could not keep from
shedding tears for the boys who
gave up their lives in this great
struggle. All honor to taeir men,
DRY.
We came back to the city by the
way of Missionary Ridge. The
has built a fine high
way along the crest OF the Ridge,
which affords good riding. We
stopped at the tower which marks
the spot were General Bragg, had
his headquarters. This town is
about $50 feet high and from the
top you get beautiful view of the
valley of Chattanooga old Look out
and the surrounding territory.
