OUTER SPACE.

Showing How Far It Is From Being
 Empty of Matter.
 When we speak of outer space, the space between star and star, as being empty of matter, it is rather interest ing to see exactly what we mean," says a writer. We know from observations on the planets that light. ill it's passage across space to our earth, suffers hard ly any absorption, and from this fact we can deduce conclusions respecting the density of such matter as exists in outer space
 "If the degree of rarefaction in outer space is, for example, in the neighbor, hood of the one hundred millionth part of an atmosphere, then the appearance of Jupiter, for instance, would be as if our atmosphere had twice it's pres ent opacity. So that such matter as exists must be in much more rarefied state. But after all, these terms are only comparative.
 Suppose our atmosphere were al. lowed to expand up to the limits of the visible universe as far as the Milky way. Then it's rarefaction would be such that it would be quite i'm possible, by any optical means, to de, tect the presence of any matter. Nev- ertheless, there would be about 5000 molecules per cubic centimeter througE out space"

KAFFIR "BOY" SERVANTS.
They Bathe and oil Themselves and
 Then Don Filthy Clothes.

Most of the domestic" work in South Africa is done by the Kaffirs, who are called "boys," no matter what their age may be.
 When the Kaffir boys come from the kraals no one ever uses their native names. As soon as they are brought into contact with the whites they take white" name. This produces re- suits not lacking in the elements of humor.
 Among the house boys Knife" Fork" and Spoon" are common names. Table" Chair" Carriage. Watch" and "NIatchbox" are others more infrequently used. There is of record one boy who took the utilita- rian name of Ham and Eggs"
 The Kaftirs are very fond of rice when they learn to eat it among the whites, and one stable boy thought he had found the finest name in the world in Rice"
 In some respects the Kaffirs are the cleanest people in the world, They are forever scrubbing themselves in hot water and amounting themselves with oil afterward. But the habit does not extend to their clothes. They will take an elaborate bath and then don clothes that never saw the washtub.- Washington Star.

OIL UPON THE WATERS.
its Action In Calming the elIlows of
 Stormy Sea.

its Action In Calming the RlIlows of a
 Stormy Sea.
 Literally as vel! as fguratively, to pour oil upon the troubled waters is to calm them to a degree. This has been known from time immemoriaI, although its scientific explanation Is pot any too familiar even at the pres ent day. The secret of the phenome non lies ih the fact that oil is extreme ly viscous-that is to say, 1t is of d ropy consistency. sticky and adhesive and can be spread out into very thin but comparatively strong sheet
 In Iubricating bearing, for instance it forms tenuous film between the metals and so protects them from the wear of direct contact with each other.
 Oil is lighter than water and when poured upon it remains upon the sur face. As the surface tension of water is stronger than that of oil, the oil is immediately drawn out over the wa ter in very thin body. forming sort of blanket. which presents consider able resistance to the motions of the element beneath. The water waves still roll almost as high as before, but they are unable to break into nipples. so that the stormy sea, when oil GOV cred, presents surface of huge undu- lationS, but smooth ones.
 Ships are able to ride such waves with comparative ease. It is the waves that break that present the real dan ger to the mariner Boston Herald.
