SAVING A CITY.
DucazeI's Method Was Unique, but II
Pacified Madrid.

fdClIeu WduTtos
1t was I'm the year 1868, after bat
tie In the Spanish revolution Of that
year, and the streets of Madrid were
filed with angry crowds that were
bent on destroying everything and
every one. Suddenly an unknown man
appeared at the city hall.
"Give me band Of musicians he
said, land before nightfall i shall con
troll all Madrid"
He must have been man of rare
personality to have been able to per-
suade the authorities In that dark hour
to give him anything.
But he got the musicians and went
out with them to wander through the
city. While they played he sang-pop'
ular street songs or some old national
air. When these bored the listeners
he mounted old boxes and told funny
tales and got the populace amused and
laughing.
BY nightfall peace reigned In the
city, and the mob broke up and went
home to bed. The mans name was
Felipe Ducazel. and he was only TWEEN
ty-two years old when he cleverly
achieved this result.
We are told n deal about heroic
things In saving countries by long
terrible rides at night or by the sacri
fee of oneself by dying In somebody's
stead. but few OF us hear Of any one
who saved town by laughter

Gun Power at Waterloo.

As to gun power at the time Of Wa
terloo, two facts of guidance: The
British drill sergeants Of the day
taught recruits to hold their fire until
.Xthey could see the whites Of the eyes
of the enemy" That would makcFhe
best musketry range, l should say,
about twenty five yards. Brown Bess'
was not of much use beyond sixty
yards, judging by all the evidence. AS
to big pieces, then, as now. naval guns
were superior to field artillery. and
Nelson loved to get in his broadsides
at sixty yards! believe that GOO
yards was counted the limit of ehec-
tive naval gun fire then. Field artil-
lery range would be less. probably
much less. The enormous increase In
the effective range of guns since Is
due, first, to explosives with greater
power and more controlable power
second, the invention Of rified barrels
and breechloading, and, third, stronger
alloys Of metals.-Frank Fox in Lon
don Nation.

THE SILVER SWORD.
It Grows In Hawaii and Is the Rarest
Plant In the World.

It Grows In Hawaii and Is the Rarest
Plant In the World.
The rarest plant In the world grows
In Hawaii, fact which Is unknown
to all but very few Of the thousands
Of tourists annually visiting the para
disc Of the Pacific. 1t is the silver
sword.
Its very name Is odd and unusual,
at once arousing the curiosity and the
interest Of the stranger who chances
to hear It. 1t Is a cactus-like growth,
the long, silky, gray leaves of which
give 1t its peculiar name. The req
son for its rarity Is that 1t is found
only on the most inaccessible slopes OF
the volcanoes Of this group Of islands.
From the earliest times 1t has been
appreciated and greatly admired by
the native Hawaiians, who called 1t
"ahinahina" (gray headed), because
they had never before the coming of
the white man seen silver and there
fore could not apply to the plant the
cognomen which so well describes It,
Ali who have found II prize 1t more
jealously than do Alpine climbers
treasure the edelweiss. 1t is far more
beautiful thing and more difficult to
obtain than the famous flower Of Swift
zerland.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Public Elopements.

The Bulgarian is perhaps the most
simple minded and industrious peas
ant In Europe, and. paradoxical as 1t
may appear, his standard OF morality
Is extremely high, although elopements
are more numerous than In any other
country. But these are generally In
nocent affairs, being simply the device
OF young couples to get married with
out the expense a regular Bulgarian
wedding entails. In most cases not
only Is the consent Of both parents OBJ
tanned, but all friends are Informed
and assemble outside the brides house
to witness the elopement.

MEASURING THE STARS.
Mat ls Meant by First and Second
Maanitude, and So On.

Mat Is Meant by First and Second
Magnitude, and So On.
The classification Of the stars into
their apparent brightness, was under
taken little hastily, with the result
that many stars have been found
which are brighter than stars Of the
first magnitude. Aldebaran Is n typica,
star OF the first magnitude, but SIRIUS
Is much brighter. Consequently the
system of classification has to be ex-
tended.
A star OF the first magnitude is 2!
times as bright as star of the second
magnitude; star OF the second mag
nitude Is % times as bright as star
Of the third magnitude, and so on.
Stars which are % times as bright rs
a star of the first magnitude are called
stars of o magnitude, while stars 2.5
times brighter still are said To be of
the i magnitude, and so on.
Professor Ceraski has made measure
ments to determine the magnitude Of
the sun, reckoned I'm this way. BY
adopting different methods Of hIeasure-
ments he reaches very accordant re-
suits, and it appears that our sun Is a
star Of the 1865 order Of magnitude,
which means that it sends us as much
light as SSO,OO0,OOO of stars of the first
magnitude.
At the distance OF little over four
light years.. G., about 10000 times its
present distance-it would be n star of
the first magnitude, so that, considered
as a star, It is nothing out Of the ordi-
nary.-Piitsburgh GaZette-Tlmes.

~0RBiTS OF THE PLANETS.
Why They Are Eclipses and Cannot
Become Perfect Circles.

Become Perfect Circles.
Every ellipse has two foci. Keplers
second law is. THE orbits Of all Of the
planets are ellipses, the sun being In
one common focus Of them ALL" All
Of the other fOci are empty space. The
eccentrlcities Of orbits of all planets
vary on account Of the attraction Of all
the other planets making variations.
Some are decreasing while others are
increasing, but none can ever become
exact circles since there are eight mu-
tually disturbing planets.
That Of the earth's orbit Is now de-
creasing and, according to the French
astronomer Leverrier, who took time
TO make elaborate mathematical re
searches In this part Of astronomy, will
continue to decrease during about
$4,000 years, but will not vanish, max
Ing the earth's orbit an exact circle,
and then will begin to increase.
The orbit Of Venus now has the least
eccentricity and Is therefore nearer a
true circle than any other orbit, but 1t
cannot become a circle, one reason
being the disturbance caused by the
huge mass Of the earth. One earth re-
volving around one sun, both trillions
Of miles away from any other disturb
ing, could traverse true circle.-Edgar
Lucien Larkin in New York American.
