A Clreu Horee in Battle. Colonel Charles Marshall, who was aid-de-camp to General Robert E. lfee and who went through" the battles of the war with his chief told the following amusing story of his experience with a new horse: His old horse had bean shot from under him in the fight of the previous day, and he had taken possession of an animal that seemed to suit the work. In the battle a few hours later he was riding across a field in which there were numerous stumps. Suddenly the performance opened. The guns roared, and the air was filled with smoke and noise. Before Colonel Marshall knew -W vim hanneninc the horse had
His four feet on one of the stumps
and was gayly dancing in a circle
In the meantime me iiriug increasing, and the situation was anything but comfortable. But the horse kept on as if he were enjoyinf it- .t . i at was not until afterward, said Colonel Marshall, "tKat I found the horse had belonged to a circus and had been trained to do this act amid the firing of cannon."

DISTANCE OF THE STARS. x tL 0,"f-
How Astrororner& Set About the Tas'i of Measuring It. With the exception of a hundred i tan at most, we know nothing of the distance of the individual stare. What is the cause uf this state of things? It is owing to the fact that we have two eyes that we are enabled not only to perceive the direction in which external objects are situated, but to get an idea of their distance, to localize them in Epace. But this power is rather limited. For distances exceeding some hundreds of yards it utterly fails. Tho reasou is that the distance between the eyes as compared with the distance to bo evaluated becomes too small. Instruments have been devised by which the distance between the eyes is, as it were, artificially increased. With a good instrument of this sort distances of feveral miles may be evaluated. For still greater distances we may imagine each eye replaced by a photographic pltfte. Even this would be quite sufficient for one of the heaven!? bodies vii, for the moon.
At one and the same moment lot a photograph of the moon and thisurrounding stars be taken both at
the Cape observatory and at tne Itoyal observatory at Greenwich. Placing the two photographs side by side in the stereoscope, we shall clearly see the moon "hanging in space" and may evaluate its distance. But for the sun and the nearest planets, our next neighbors in the universe after the moon, the difficulty recommences. The reason is that anv available
i distance on the earth, taken as eye
distance, is rather small lor tne , purpose. However, owing to in-, nrfxfible nerseverancc and skill oft
'several observers and by substitut'imr the most refined measurement
for stereoscopic examination, asjtronomers have succeeded in over- ; coming thedifficulty for the sun. I ! think we may say that at present we know its distance to within a 'thousandth part of its amount.'
Knowing the sun's distance, we get I that of all the planets by a well
known relation existing between the planetary distances. But now for the fixed stars, which must be hundreds of thousands of times farther removed than the sun. There evidently can be no mixtion of anv sufficient eve dis
tance on our earth. Meanwhile our ; success with the sun has provided!
us with a new one distance, ,wv times greater than any possible eye distance on the earth, for now that we know the distance at which the earth travels in its orbit around the Eun we can take the diameter of its
orbit as our e)'e distance. Photo-i 1 graphs taken at periods six months apart will represent the stellar world as seen from points the distance between which is already best expressed in the time it would take light to traverse it The time would
be about sixteen minute?. However, even this disUnce, immense as it is, is, on the whole, inadequate for obtaining a stereoscopic view of the stars. It is only in quite exceptional cases that photographs on a large scale that is, obtained by the aid of big telescopes show any stereoscopic effect for fixed stars. By accurate measurement of the photos we may perhaps get somewhat boyond what wn ran attain bv simple stereoscopic
inspection; but, as we said a mo- ! ment ago, astronomers have not succeeded in this way in determining 'the distance of more than a hun Idrcd stars in all. Scientific Ameri

A Turkish paper tells this story: "Ibrahim KiTendi, to whom things happened, did you perchance hear of the things? The effendi was crossing a river, bearing with him his mother-in-law and a bac of gold, his saving.-. Then rose the flood, which wrecked the vessel, and Ibrahim knew not at first which to save, the gold or his relative. Then, having taken counsel with himself, thought Ibrahim and spake: My gold will I save, for where can I let more gold?

our pleasure to linger on in Madrid, with the exception of Hhrce days spent in Toledo and the Eseurial, for the whole of our two month?' holiday, and to return direct to Pir without seeing any "I ie souti country, so beloved ly other tourist.".
