SQUINTlNG AT THE STARS.
1t Helps the Astronomer In Calculating
 Their Distances.

It Helps the Astronomer In Calculating
 Their Distances.
 While featuring recently to an audi ence of children at the Royal institu- tion. London. Professor Fl. Fl. Turner explained how astronomers measure tho distances of the sun. moon and stars.
 The importance of q squint was ex- plained with the aid of match and cigar Putting the cigar in his mouth and lighting the match. he told them it was by squintins that he judged the distance at which to hold it.
 Then. taking another cigar. which was about twelve inches in length. he explained how in that case 1t was not necessary to squint so much. as the point of distance to be measured by the eyes was further away.
 This was done to illustrate the fact that just as the brain calculates the distances of things seen by means of the angle of the squint. so astronomers tell the distance of the stars by reckon ing the amount of "squint" involved when looking at them.
 Two telescopes are placed apart at an exactly measured distance. The astron omer then looks through the two tel escapes at the same time and. having got them to the angle at which he can see the particular star. just reckons up the amount of "squint" and reels it on in millions of miles.-Boston Herald.

FAME OF CAPE COD.
1t Is Many Sided and Fairly Eciipsss
 Poor Cape Ann.

1t Is Many Sided and Fairly EcIipsss
 Poor Cape Ann.
 Cape Cod. aside from its shape. has name to conjure with. What more appropriate? Cod Is the palladium of our liberties. We have made unto our selves graven image thereof and have hung the same in our stai ehouse as memorial forever Our senior senator and the various congressman from down Essex way never let the sacred fish go out of their thoughts.
 Indeed. Cape Ann is just as anxious over the cod as the other cape Is and probably wishes it had a similar chance at the name. The name of Cape Ann doesn't mean anything now. whatever it meant to the fattering colonists who first wished the then monarch's name on 1t.
 Cape Ann doesn't look like human foot In fact. it doesn't look like much of anything but Cape Ann. But Cape Cod. with its sands. its bars, it's long tongues and spits. is distinctive. Peo' pie try to swim to it. A certain kind of aristocracy Is named for it. It's people get into books and then sue the publishers The pilgrim fathers landed on it-and then had the su. prelne good sense to get back to the boats and hunt up Plymouth. where there was at least a rock to set bis toric feet upon. 50 that future gen erations might chip of bits of the same.-Lowell Courier Citizen

Not What They Seemed.

A marquise. who was in residence for a few days at q Parisian hotel discov- cred that her pearl necklace. worth $15,O0O. had disappeared from her room. Suspicion fell on a messenger boy. who admitted his guilt. but de. clared that the necklace had been taken from him by his mother. The mother corroborated her sons state ment. expressing astonishment that so much trouble should be made about "a trashy little trinket." which. she explained. looked so cheap and tawdry that she had given it to her daughter in-law. This young woman. in her teens. displayed an equal contempt for the ''bits of things" She told the pO- lice that she had given the necklace to her little girl to wear. but she had removed about half the beads. All the missing pearls were found in box among buttons and hooks and eyes.
 The Lilies.
 / Two thousand years ago it was sup posed that water lilies closed their flowers at night and retreated far un der water to emerge again at sunrise This was Pliny's view. and it was not impeached until the English botanist John Ray in l6SS first doubted it's ve- racity. The great lily of Zanzibar. one of the grandest of the lily family. opens its flowers. ten inches wide. between II in the morning and 8 in the after noon. They are of the richest royal blue. with from 15O to POO golden stu mems in the center, and they remain open four or five days. 1t is not gener- ally known that there are lilies that have nocturaal habits-night bloomers as we'll as day bloomers. They are very punctual timekeepers. too opening and closing with commendable regularity

THE MORRIS CONCERT

The musical entertainment given
Tuesday night by Mr.. and Mrs. H. G.
Morris, to highly appreciative aud
fence, was rare treat, for the real
lovers of music. Every number met
with hearty applause from the aud
fence. Mr.. and Mrs. Morris are cul-
tured and capable people, and have
spent several years on the road in ly-
ceum and chautauqua work, in cities of
the east and south, playing to select
audiences, in many of the larger cities.
The severe storm prevented many from
the country from coming, however all
who were present were more than
pleased with the entertainment, and
we hope to be able to secure a return
date during the season, from the Morris
people.

HIS FIRST SERMON

Mr.. George Leitch, the youngest son
of Rev. James A. Leitch and wife,
preached his maiden sermon last Sun
day night to large and appreciative
audience. 1t is true that people did
not attend church with the idea that
they were going to hear a great ora
tor or spell binder yet all were
agreeably surprised with the ease and
sincerity with which the young man
delivered his first prepared sermon,
but greater than all was the pride
of the parents in the self chosen pro-
fession Of their boy, and as the father
stood beside his son in the pulpit,
perhaps the proudest moment in his
life, and the happiness that was his
carried with it subtle power to the
whole congregation and in their hearts
they rejoiced with him.
The young man is doing public
work in American Falls.
and preparing himself to enter some
college this coming season, and the
Recorder joins the many friends OF
the family in wishing him great sue
