IT Is quit* a simple task to weigh a planet which has a satellite, for the attraction of the planet on the smaller body can be determined easily. But with the stars it is a much more difficult task. Fortunately, many of the stars have companion stars, and the gravitational effect of one on the other can be figured. . NEXT—How long can elephant* stand without tiring?

the captain had gripped Barnabas by the hand. “Congratulate you, Beverley, j heartily.” ■‘Thank you, but why?” inquired Barnabas. ‘Eh—wha’? Hasn't Jemingham fold you? B gad, is it possible you don't know ” “Why. doocc take me, Sling, if I didn't forge;!” said the marquis, clapping hand to thigh, “but his cravat put everything else out of my nob and small wonder either! You tell him.” “No.' answered the captain. “I upset a cursed applestall on my way here—you got in first—tell him yourself.” “Why, then, Beverley," said the marquis, extending his hand, in his turn, as he spoke, we have pleasure, simg and I, to tell you that you are entered for the race on the fifteenth.” ■ The race!” exclaimed Barnabas, flushing. You mean I'm to ride then?” “Yes.” nodded the captain, “but b'gad we mean more than that, we mean that you are one of us, that Devenham's friend must be ours because he s game ” “And can ride.” said the viscount. “And is a. man of taste,” added the marquis. it a a epHUS it was as one in a dream *- that Barnabas beheld the legs of the Gentleman-in-Powder, and heard the words; “Dinner is served, gentlemen!” But scarcely had they taken their places at the table when the marquis | rose, his brimming glass in his hand. “Mr. Beverley,” said he, bowing, “when Devrnham, Slingsby, and I meet at table, it is our invariable custom to drink to one w’ho we all —huqj—” “Admire!” said the viscount, rising. “Adore!” said the captain, rising also. “Therefore, gentlemen.” pursued the marquis, “with our host's permission, we will—” “Stay a moment. Jermngham.” j -aid the viscount —“it is only right to tell you that my friend Beverley is one with us in this—he also is a suitor for the hand of Lady Cleone.” . “Is he, b'g excla' led the captain. “Dooce take me!” said the | marquis, “might have known it j though. Ah, well! one more or less j makes small difference among so many.” So Barnabas rose, and lifting his glass with the others, drank to — "Our Lady Cleone—God bless her!” Holborn was in full song,—a rumbling, roaring melody, a clattering, rushing, blaring symphony marie up of the grind of wheels upon resounding cobble-stones, the thudding beat of horse-hoofs, the tread of countless feet, the shrill note of voices; it was all there, the bass and the treble blending together, harsh, discordant, yet the real symphony of life. And. amidst it all. of it all, came Barnabas, eager-eyed, forgetful of his companion, lost to all but the stir and bustle, the rush and roar of the wonderful city about him. The which Mr. Smiwle duly remarked from tinder the curlybrimmcd hat, but was uncommonly silent. Indeed, though his hat was at Its usual rakish angle, though he swung h's cane and strode with all his ordinary devil-may-care swagger, though his whiskers were as selfassertive as ever, yet Mr. Smiwle himself was unusually pensive, and in his bold black eyes was a look very like anxiety. But in a while, as they turned out of the rush of Holborn Hill, he sighed, threw back his shoulders, and spoke. (To be continued.)

TARZAN THE INVINCIBLE

The unseen eyes of Opar watched the advancing column. They recognized La and Tarzan, and the Waziri and Jad-bal-ja. Oah was frightened. Dooth trembled, and little Nao, who hated Oah, was as happy as one msy be who carries a broken heart in one's bosom.

Once again, by the power of her loyal followers, did La resume her throne as queen. That night Tarzan. lord of the jungle, ate again from the golden platters of Opar while young girls served him. Her people, who hated Oah and had killed her, promised loyalty to La.

Tarzan, knowing La was safe, was glad when the new day found him at the head of his Waziri crossing the plain of Opar. Upon his bronzed shoulder sat Nkima, and at the apeman's side paced the golden lion, while behind him marched his hundred Waziri warriors.
