The largest picture ever painted Is
said to be panorama of the Mississippi
river, executed by John Banvard, an
artist who died in WATERFOWL, s. D., in
1891. The gigantic canvas was twenty
two feet high and nearly two miles
long. 1t gave detailed representation
of 1000 miles of the Father Of Waters.
The largest of the old masters can
vases is Murillo's Appearance Of the
Christ Child to st. Anthony of Padua."
The picture is ten feet wide and eight
cen feet high.
1t is related that a friend called on
Salvador Rosa in Florence one day and
found him playing on an old harp

why he kept such a worthless instru-
ment.
"Why, it is not worth scudof' the
friend said.

A bet was made. Rosa Immediately

only sold for 1000 scudi, but was ac-
counted work Of great merit.

"Still, there is not a pretty woman in

Sublime Act of Hero Who Went to
Watery Grave.
In the chapel at Glenalmond school
In Perthshire, Scotland, there is q
marble slab with this stirring story
recorded upon it:
There was once in the school a pupil
named Alexander Cumine Russell,
who became an officer in the Seventy
fourth highlanders when only lad of
seventeen. In connection with the
memorable loss of the Birkenhead he
won immortal glory. The troopship
struck upon a rock; the soldiers were
formed in ranks upon the deck to die;
the women and children were being
saved in boats.
Russell was ordered into one of the
boats to command ii, and a little way
off he watched with dimmed eyes the
doomed ship. When she went down he
saw creatures of the deep contending
for his beloved comrades Then he
saw d sailors form rise up close to the
boat and a hand strive to grasp the
side.
A woman in the craft called out In
agony: Save him! oh, save him, sir!
He is my husband" but there was no
room for another and the boat was Ia
boring heavily as it was. Russell look
ed ut the woman and then at her chill.
dren, then at those beseeching eyes in
the deep, and, rising in the stern, he
plunged into the water and helped the
sailor into what had been his own
place Then amid a chorus of God
bless you" from every one in the boat
the brave young officer turned to meet
his death. -Pearson's Weekly

RULE OF THE GLOVE.
Queer Custom of Suspendlng the Law
In an English Town.

In an English Town.
By reason of curious custom the
people of the old town of Honiton, In
Devonshire. England. are exempt from
arrest from dawn to sunset of a certain
day Of the year. 1t is while the horse
fair there is in progress that the law is
thus suspended for awhile. The custom
is a survival of a quaint and pictur-
esque ceremonial dating from the days
Of King Henry Ill.
At the beginning of the fair the town
crier, in the gorgeous dress of beadle
of the old days. appears upon the scene
with a pole to the end Of which is at
tached large gilt glove decked with
flowers. Having rung his handbell
three times, the crier announces:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez! The fair Is begun
The glove is up; no man may be ar.
rested until the glove is down. God
save the kingP'
Each sentence Is chorused by the
children standing round, and at the
conclusion they scramble for nuts. The
glove is taken down at sunset.-St

SOLAR ENERGY.
fts Constant Radiation ls Lessenlnq
the Mass of Our Sun.

Its Constant Radiation ie Lesseninq
the Mass of Our Sun.
The work of Einstein on the principle
Of relatively shows that body which
radiates energy loses portion Of its
mass depending on the energy radiat-
ed. 1t follows that the sun, which
continually radiates energy, Is con-
stantly losing mass NJ. j. Bosler has
calculated that the sun loses a mass
equal to that of our earth In 100000
years.
If 1t be assumed that the mass thus
lost is gravitational mass it follows
that the length of the year increases
by six seconds in 100000 years and
that in the same time the mean longi-
tude of the earth is affected in such
way as to produce a variation of one
tenth of year-that is. a retardation
of thirty-slx days in the seasons.
Such variations are too minute to
be observable. In stellar systems pos
sessing a higher temperature the eff
feet would be much more marked, for
the energy radiated by body varies
as the fourth power Of its absolute
temperature.
If, as NJ Nordmann believes, there
exist stars having a temperature six
or seven times that Of our sun their
radiation is one or two thousand times
as intense. Thus, If the temperature
Of Algol is 1880 degrees. 1t is calcu-
lated that at the end of 1000 years the

Of about twelve minutes.-Boston Her
