Nearest Fixed star.

Alpha Centauri is the sun nearest
to the earth of all the fixed stars.
One of the most magnificent of the
first magnitude stars even to the
naked eye, the telescope reveals it all
suddenly as two great masses of solar
fire, the flames, red, yellow and blue,
blown upward and outward to the
right by the winds of the universe.
The great pair of rainbow flames ap-
pear to stand out like tangible OBJ
jects in the depths of infinitely re-
mote space many times larger than
the naked eye stars. One of the two
revolves about the other in a period
of 80 years. 1t is n of the most
%stupendous and awful visions and the
most absolutely beautiful that eyes
have ever seen.

The Spiritual Life.

Spiritual music can only come
from discords set in unison" said
Carlyle. 1t would be worth the time
and space of a whole sermon to d.
late upon that wonderful truth. Good
comes not from an easy. la~nguishing
life, where virtue meets no opposition
and where courage encounters no de-
fiance. All discords are created by
divine love to make spiritual music
out Of. Those who do not meet with
such discords will not hear such mu-
sic. Such experience is left for sac
riice to turn into harmony. Do you
meet a friend who may seem to turn
| against you, don't leave him till the
harmony is restored, not by appeal
or instruction, but by the union or
your own life. This may seem senti-
ment, but remember the spiritual life
is as harsh and exacting as the ma
terial life. These are days that need
so much of this fine philosophy, not
to say religion, that there is a sweep
ing tendency toward the dalliance OF
and therefore never hear any spirit
ual music.-Ohio State Journal.

Dew, Ponds.

The name dew pond" is given to
certain isolated ponds on the upper
levels of the chalk downs Of the south
of England and elsewhere. Their
Male seems to imply that they depend
on dew and not entirely upon rain
for their maintenance as a source of
water supply for cattle, for which they
are used. The question has been dis
cussed a good deal, but not settled;
the balance of evidence seems to he
against the view that dew deposits
make any important contribution to
the supply of water. The construction
of dew ponds is, however, still prac'
ticed on traditional lines, but it is
said that a new dew pond has first to
be filled a%rtificially. A dew pond does
not come into existence by the gradu
al accumulation of water in an i'm,
pervious basin, from the settlement
of evaporated water from the atmos
phere.

Strike Proper Balance.

Sex, religion and insanity are near
ly associated. There is nothing that
should be so we'll balanced as the re-
ligious belief of everyone. Sometimes
experiences in religion are nothing
but the most rampant of neurasthenic
Authorizations. The religious zealot
is almost always a neurasthenic, and
it only takes time to prove it. There
are two kinds of Inconsistencies, those
who have lost religion and, Of course,
happiness, and those who have re-
ligious fanaticism. Strike the bal
ance and you have health.-Kansas
