URGE SUM FOR FREE CAR RIDES
Want Provision for
Policemen and Firemen.

Although opposing bills introduced in
Congress authorizing free street car rides
for members of the police and fire de-
partments, the District Commissioners
are working to have an appropriation
made to meet the street railway trans
portation expenses incident TO the dis
charge of official duties.
The opposition of the Commissioners
to free rides for policemen and firemen
is based on the theory that the practice
would retard the trend of legislation do
ing away with the pass.
A majority of citizens of Washington,
II is said, believe policemen and firemen
should be given free street car rides and
many persons have so expressed them
selves to the Commissioners.

A DIAMOND STORY.
The Way q Russian Princess Dispose.
of Her Jewels.

The Way Russian Princess Dispose,
of Her Jewels.
A few years ago Ludwig Nissen
well known wholesale dealer
the Maiden lane district, was in IT,
office of a diamond merchant j.
London when stranger came i
and offered an unusually beautif
stone for sale. The Englishman
did not care to buy But Nissen
thought he saw ain. But he
was not willing iy until he
learned who OWL stone and
where it had CONF n. The man
said he represented friend, a wo-
man, who did not care to have her
name disclosed. The American was
firm. If he could not learn the
owners name he would not buy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman and talk the matter over
with her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr.. Nissen to the woman's
home. She lived in q handsome
apartment in one of the most fash
ionable quarters Of the city. It
turned out that she was q Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
In a nihilist movement. Of all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened a
little safe and showed the Ameri-
can one of the finest collections Of
diamonds he had ever seen. They
were worth 100000 or 100000.
owe sell them a few at time"
she explained, Gust enough Of
them each year to give us g living.
Perhaps you will wonder why We
don't sell them all and live on the
interest of the money? But my
husband has the gamblers spirit.
The money would not last Q year.
Sc we part from them piecemeal.
| estimate that there are enough OF
them to keep US twenty years, and
l don't expect to live longer than
that"
One Of those diamonds forms the
centerpiece of one of the most val.
liable necklaces in New York. A
few others are sent to this country
every year. In the diamond horse
shoe" at the opera there is never q
night when there are not some Of
the jewels of the exiled princess on

\ Real Cause Of BaIdness.

Coming in from East Liberty or
. train were two men who appar.
emily were old acquaintance and
who met in a jovial mood. Both
men were quite gray, but each had
a luxuriant head of hair. Near
then sat stout party with a shin
ing dome that was almost destitute
OF hirsute covering.
The two friends exchanged face
tious remarks about silvered locks,
then INDUCED in some pleasantries
about the thinning of the thatch,"
with casual references to doorknobs
and billiard balls, much to the
amusement of the passengers, but
to the evident discontinue of the
baldheaded man.
The talk finally developed into an
argument on the cause of badness,
and after considerable jocularity
the pair turned to the pearly pated
stranger, and one said:
"My friend and | have been dis
cussing the cause of badness, but
we can't seem to agree. Would you
mind telling US what you regard as
the real cause Of baldness?"
The stranger wheeled about, eyed
his questioners fercely and snorted.

DISTANCE OF TIE STARS.
How Astronomers Get About the Tasi

/
stars at most, We know nothing OF
the distances of the individual stars.
What IS the cause Of this state Of
things? 1t is owing to the fact that
we have two eyes that We are en-
abled not only to perceive the di-
reetion in which external objects
are Situated, but to get an idea OF
their distance, to localize them 10
space. But this power is rather lin
tied. For distances exceeding some
hundreds of yards it utterly fails.
The reason IS that the distance be-
tween the eyes as compared with
the distance to be evaluated be-
comes too small. Instruments have
been devised by which the distance
between the eyes is, as it were, arti-
fcially increased. With a good in
strument Of this sort distances Of
several miles may be eyaluated. For
still greater distances we may inn
agine each eye replaced by photo
graphic plate. Even this would be
quite sufficient for one of the heav-
enly bodies-viz, for the moon.
At one and the same moment let
photograph Of the moon and the
surrounding stars be taken both at
the Cape observatory and at the
Royal observatory at Greenwich.
Placing the two photographs side by
side in the stereoscope, we shall
clearly see the moon changing in
space" and may evaluate its dis
lance.
But for the sun and the nearest
planets, our next neighbors in the
universe after the moon, the diff
Guilty recommences.
The reason is that any available
distance on the earth, taken as eve
distance, IS rather small for the
purpose. However, owing to in
credible perseverance and skill of
several observers and by substitut
ing the most refined measurement
for stereoscopic examination, as
tronomers have succeeded in over
coming the difficulty for the sun. ]

we know its distance to within
thousandth part of its amount.
