Light of the Stars. Various attempts have been made to estimate the light of stars. In the northern hemisphere Argelander has registered 324,000 stars down to tlie nine and one-half magnitude, with the aid of the best photometric data. Agues M. Clerk’s “System of the Stars” gives the sum of the light of these northern stars as equivalent to 1.440 of full moonlight, and the total light of all stars similarly enumerated in both hemispheres to the number of about 900,000 is roughly placed at 1.180 of the lunar brightness. The scattered light of still fainter celestial bodies is difficult to evaluate. By a photographic method Sir William Abney in 1896 rated the total starlight of both hemispheres as 1.100 of full moonlight, and Professor Newcomb in 1901 from visual observations of diffused sky radiance fixed the light power of all stars at Just 728 times that of Capella. or 1.89 of the light of the full moon. It is not certain, however, that the sky would be totally dark if all stars were blotted out. Certain processes make the upper atmosphere strongly luminous at times, and one never can be «ure that this light is absent. Dog That Climbed a Tree. Can a dog climb a tree? A corretpondent writes: “While on a walk on toowshoes in New Hampshire we tracked a porcupine to a balsam fir. in which it had taken refuge. My Scottish terrier climbed the tree, pulling herself up from branch to branch to a height of about seven feet, where 1 space of bare trunk separated her from the porcupine, which had watched her progress with evident alarm. The terrier made several ineffectual attempts to scale the smooth bark and finally jumped down into the snow.” And of another curious trait the same writer continues: “This little dog and her mate, now dead, though enthusiastic fire worshipers at home, never sat near the bonfires bu»lt at luncheon or tea time on winter walks, but dug holes in the snow at a little distance, tn which they curled themselves up j after the manner of their primitive ancestors.”—Chicago News. Processes Which Defy Analysis. I think that the more thoroughly and conscientiously we endeavor to study biological problems the more we are convinced that even those processes which we have already regarded as explicable both by chemical and physical laws are in reality infinitely more complex and at present defy any attempts at a mechanical explanation. Thus we have been satisfied to accolmt for the absorption of food from the alimentary canal by the laws of diffusion and osmosis. But we now know that, as regards osmosis, the wall of the intestine does not behave like a dead membrane. We know that the intestinal wall is covered with epithelium and that every epithelial cell is in itself an organism, a living being with the most complex functions. We know that it takes up food by the active contractions of its protoplasm in the same way as observed in independent naked animal cells.—A. Bunge. Her Valentine. A young woman wrote about the year 1750: ' The night before St Valen tine's day I got five bay leaves and pinned four of them to the four corners of my pillow and the fifth to the middle. And then if I dreamed of my sweetheart Betty said we would be married before the year was out But to make more sure I boiled an egg hard and took out the yolk and filled It with salt and when I went to bed ate It. shell and all, without speaking or drinking after it. We also wrote our lovers' names upon bits of paper and rolled them up In clay and put them Into water, and the first that rose up Was to be our valentine. Mr. Blossom was my man. I lay abed and shut my ryes all the morning till he came to our house, for I would not have seen mother man before him for all the world." Beethoven’s Oddities. Beethoven used the snuffers for a toothpick. It was one of his peculiarities that he never allowed bis servant to enter his study. He Insisted that this room should remain exactly as he left IL no matter how deeply the dust lay on the precious musical manuscripts. He seldom looked in the glass when he tied bis stock. Half the time be forgot to brush his hair. Every morning he carefully counted out seventeen beans from the coffee canister. These served for his breakfast. When ue composed, would pour cold wafer over his hands, and often people •»elow him would complain of the water that soaked through his floor.

'He seems to think so.” answered daughter. • because I told him the et-ier evening that he was sending we toil many costly flowers and ought to begin to save his money.”—-Chicago Trbune.
