on the horizon a glittering mass like
a larue city. They bellcvf-d at nrst
It was qnly a mirage, but It proved to bo a real doserted city built of burnished cornier. The only sign of life
about tho nlace was n group of Bed

the wanderers discovered a beaten

The story came to the ears of an

the fact, savlnu Arabs are uorn ro

tenced to serve five months in prison for having caused the suicide of Dorla Manfred!, a ravlshlngly beautiful lit
tle serving maid in her villa. She accused Dorla of being Puccini's mistress. The girl, scarcely more than a child, crept out of the villa and swallowed polton.

bring up as her own the bauy 01 wie Orlental girl. Cho-Cho San, until then
believing absolutely that her nusuami
would come back to her, cast herself
upon the sword of her father.
That was tne tnio 01 Lno-uno ami.

passed uneventfully, men bignora Puccini, herself of peasant origin, and
intensely jealous of her famous Hus

from the navy. In 1S97, where he had
served as a professor of mathematics
since 1&C1, he had devoted himself to pure and popular science.
At the time of his death he was either an honorary or corresponding member of evory scientific, astronomical or mathematical society of the first rank In the world. In his capacity as professor ol mathematics he contracted for and supervised the construction of the great telescope which is used today In the Naval Observatory at Wash ington.

Today every astronomer In the
world uses Nowcomb's determinations of the movements of the planets and
the moon; every eclipse Is computed according to Newcomb's tables; every
nnutlcal almanac Is based on the determinations of the Washington office, and the shipping of the civilized world is guided either by the American Nautical Almanac or by opheraorldes bafed on Newcomb's work.

A hunting party of twq hundred natives has made ineffectual attempts to stalk the beasts during tho day, but they dare not try to attack
the animals at night or beat tnem
