Velocity of LiQht.

The velocity of light was obtained
by the Danish astronomer ROemer in
1916, by observing the eclipses Of Jupi'
ter's moons. When the earth was
nearest to Jupiter, the eclipse ap-
peared about eight and One-half min.
utes too soon for the calculations, and
when the earth was most remote from
Jupiter, they were about eight and one
half minutes too late. Roemer conclud-
ed the reason to be that it required IL
minutes for light from the planet to
traverse the diameter of the earth's
orbit, which meas Lred the difference
of the distances of the earth from
Jupiter. This calculation has since
been verified, and proves that light
travels about 10000 miles a second.

Nobody ever will know how much

France under the reign Of its builder
Louis XIV. Louis became badly scared
when he received the bills, because he
had heard good deal about some dis
turbers who were whispering that even
king had no right to spend so much
money for palace to house his friends
when the nation over which he ruled
was starving. So Louis did what many

SiIvered Plate-Glass.

Silvered plate glass with beveled
edges, sometimes with little figures cut
on the surfaces in intaglio, were first
made in Venice. For many years these
mirrors were of small dimensions, five
feet being the largest. Indeed, till late
in the seventeenth century large look
ing glasses were made up of several
separate pieces, the divisions between
the plates being covered by subordl
nate lengths of gilt holdings within
the general frame. Louis XIV covered
the walls of his great Sale at Yer
sailles with looking-glass panels.

shakespeare Stands Alone.

Admitting to the fullest that the
present age cannot forestall the judg-
ment of posterity, it seems unlikely
that a copy of the work of any con-
temporary dramatist will ever sell for
$4,000. Such a thing happened re-
Gently in the case of four Shakespeare
folios; but Shakespeare was Shake
Speare, even when his contemporaries
took him as a matter of course, and
since then the judgment of time has
made him standard by which the en-
during genius of later playwrights can
be reasonably estimated.
