NORTH BTAR 13 THREE SUNS. Uo EJr« ai Uw Telaaeope Oaa to* Them, bat the Camara Pmu It. The nows from Lick observatory that the North Star, 255,000,000,000 miles away from us, has been found to be not one star, but three, swinging around In great orbits Tike the moon, earth and sun. Is another remarkable result of the application of photo spectroscopy to the telescopic study of the heavens. Always fascinating, the search for doable and multiple stars bas become of tbe highest interest since the spectroscope bas made It possible to discover multiple stars which tbe greatest telescopes do not reveal to the eye. The three components of Folaris cannot be seen with the most powerful telescope In the world. But the Lick star spectroscope, attached to the great 36 inch refractor, makes it plain that there are suns revolving about a sun where the eye distinguishes but one twinkling light. Ten years ago at the Harvard university observatory the first photo spectroscopic multiple star was discovered unexpectedly. The star Mizar, the middle star of the handle of the Big . Dipper, has been called a “naked eye” double because It has a visible companion, Alcor, close to It. But Rlccioll in 1650 discovered with the telescope that Mizar had a telescopic double. Mizar seems to have been tbe first double star discovered with a telescope. The apparent distance between Mizar and Alcor is nearly 40 times the distance that separates the components of Mizar. The telescope shows, too, that there are other stars between Mizar and Alcor.

Two centuries after the telescope revealed two stars in Mizar the spectroscope showed that the brighter of the components was itself made up of two stars. In photographs taken at the Harvard observatory in 1889 the K line in the spectrum of Mizar appeared double. In other plates the line was single; in others it was hazy. A close scrutiny of all the plates showed that the line was double at intervals of 52 days. This proved to astronomers that the brighter component of Mizar was really two stars. A spectroscope takes cognizance of tbe motion of a star to or from tbe earth. When one star begins to approach and the other to recede from us, the lines In the spectrum of the approaching star will be displaced toward the violet end, while those of the receding star will be displaced toward the red end. The lines will at first appear hazy, but when the approach and recession of the stars reach a maximum the lines will appear double. The calculated distance between the components of Mizar Is about 143,000,000 miles, , and the brilliancy of the star is estimated to be over a hundred times greater than that of our sun. A number of other photo spectroscopic multiple stars have been discovered recently. With the Lick telescope and spectroscope 14 have been found. This method of discovery came about from the use of the spectra to determine the velocity with which stars approached or receded from the earth. The North Star, it was found a short while ago, is now shooting earthward at a velocity of 16 miles a second. Two of the suns of the North Star triplet revolvte about each other every four Mays, and these two swing about tbe third.—New York Sun.

New Rule In Dancing.

Any fond youth who cherishes Wees of pressing the lily band of his sweetheart In the mazes of the dance during the coming winter may at once relinquish that ambition. It is hopelessly out of date. Henceforth he will waits and “two step" with bis left arm pinned to his aide, while the fair one employs her right hand to bold op the train of her gown. The train la de rlgnenr, no mere affection of a train, but a sweeping flow of silk and satin, and surreptitious squeezes under its sheltering folds are strictly forbidden. This was the edict of the American Society of Professors of Dancing in convention assembled in New York recently. The suggestion that this arrangement would incumber the dances with all the disabilities of a rudderless ship was powerless to revoke it. Truly the new gown will entail a train of woes.—New York World.

A Wonderful Map.

The map of France In stone which the Russians are preparing for the Paris exhibition Is a remarkable specimen of the lapidary's skill. It shows each Individual department In colored jasper, while the sea Is represented by lapis lazuli, the rivers by platinum and the 106 towns marked by precious stones. The countries bordering on France are given by gray jasper, and 14 islands are represented b/ stone of the same color as that used for the adjacent mainland. The map rests on a marble slab about three feet square, aai.d it Is proposed to Inclose It In a ■liver frame.—Westminster Gasette.

A TYPOGRAPHICAL TRAGEDY.

“You must have a bunch of homoristJfeworking on your linotype machines, haven’t you?” asked the poet as he entered the office. “Haven’t noticed that any of them have any failing in that line,” answered the editor. “Well, you’re a poor observer. Do you read your own paper?” “Occasionally.” “Did you read my poem, *To Agatha,’ in yesterday’s issue?” “N-no.” “I thought not. In the poem I wrote a line which read, ‘I love you better than I love my life.’ ” “That was a neat line.” “And one of your linotype humorists made it read, T love you better than I love my wife.’ ” “Er”— “Exactly—my wife. And my wife, not being acquainted with the failings of these key thumpers, thinks the poem was printed exactly as it was written and hasn’t spoken to me since it was published.” And after taßngja kick at the desk he crossed the hall and fell down the elevator shaft.—lndianapolis Sun.

Described as Follows, to Wit.

“In making a deal last year,” said a Detroit speculator, “I came into possession of the deed of a certain piece of land in North Dakota. The value of the real estate was put at S6OO, and I paid taxes on it in January, and in February I wrote to the postmaster of the nearest town to send me particulars concerning my holdings. I sent him $2 for his trouble, and he earned the money. He wrote back; “ ‘Went over to see your land. “ ‘Cussed poor road all the way. “ ‘Cussed poor road back again. “ ‘Most of your land is under water. “‘What ain’t under water is afflicted with drought. “ ‘You’ve either got to wet it all up or dry it all out. “ ‘Can’t burn up or run away. “ ‘Keep your taxes up and pray to the Lord. “ ‘Glad you sent me $2 instead of the deed. “ Gs you want any further particulars, I’ll ship you a barrel of water.’ ” —Detroit Free Press.

The Spirit of the Northwest.

When the new settler crosses the Rockies, the altitude, or the rarefied atmosphere, or some vapor of the west yet unnamed by science, seems to endow him with the roseate vision, so that ever afterward all that he beholds is good and beautiful and bigger than anywhere else. There is something refreshing and edifying in the way the northwesterner shows off his town to the stranger—his boundless admiration for the new Episcopal church, his pride in the paving of Main street, his brotherly interest in the development of the First National bank, the imagination with which he prophesies the glorious future of the place and exhibits the acres and acres of desert and hillside which the town is presently to populate. It is an adamantine visitor indeed who goes away without taking a deed or two for hopeful corner Tots in the residential district. Ray Stannard Baker in Century.

A NEIGHBORLY CALL.

BUT rr WAS PAID AT AN UNSEASONABLE HOUR. Aad (he Trouble Waa Barter Inrr ' hr the caller* XtflMtUf to Make Bare That They Were at the Bight Place. Wise la the than who, if fate decrees that be shall dwell In a flat, takes pains to master all details by which his own douitflle may be distinguished from that of his next door neighbor. For if be fails to do bo strange things may transpire, as this story win demonstrate. It happened only a few nights ago and In Woodlawn, which is a veritable wilderness of fiat buildings of all sizes and designs. One of tbe old fashioned structures is particularly confusing. It has an infinity of length, in which there are six entrances, all much alike, each giving Ingress and egress to the tenants of eight flats. Two or 1 three weeks ago a family took up its abode in the building, occupying tbe ground floor flat on tbe east side of tbe fourth entrance from the east end of the building. That sounds easy enough. So far all well and good. But on tbe night in question the family, consisting of a rather young father, a good looking yonng mother and a little girl went to the theater, leaving the flat in charge of the brother of the paterfamilias, a young man of some 21 years aqd gifted with an appetite for slumber.

It was late when the family ed—nearly 1 o’clock, in fact How it happened no one knows, but they, |fl missed tbe count and turned tn at tOO fifth entrance from the easfend of tne building instead of the fourth. A ring at tbe doorbell at first brought no reply. They were vexed, for they had no latchkey with them. A few more rings, however, brought an answer. Tbe door was opened an inch and a sleepy male voice said, “Who is It?” “Why, it’s us, of course,” was the answer. “What did you think it was, burglars?” And with this remark tbe man pushed ou through the door, followed at once by his wife and little girl, into the dimly lighted parlor. In-the middle of the room stood a dazed looking individual, with sleep heavy lids and frowzled hair, attired only in a rather brief night garment Paying no more attention to her supposed brother-in-law, tbe woman took off her hat and began making berself otherwise quite at borne. At last the figure in tbe middle of the room spoke. This is what he remarked: “If you folks want anything here, of If I can do anything for you, please tell me and I’ll try and accommodate you.” As sure as fate, that voice was a strange voices, “Why, isn’t this No. 511 T the man Hskfidt “No; it’s No. 515, if you please.” They stood not on the order of their going, but went at once. Not, however, before tbe woman bad picked up her hat and sundry other articles of wearing apparel and bad grabbed a frightened little girl by tbe arm. The next evening an extremely embarrassed young man made a brief call to apologize for a blunder he attributed to a lack of acquaintance with tbe appearance of the building at night. Tbe apology was accepted in good port. It is said that people In the same flat building never got acquainted with each other. Tbe young man who was mistaken for a brother and a brother-in-; law now la wondering whether that call was the end or only the beginning s t social relations between the two families. As be Is the older tenant, be says tbe problem is one bis wife must decide.—Chicago Tribune
