the Richmond Hotel, writes:
“It gives me pleasure to testify to the

and have found it to be a most excellent

and similar ills, it is unsurpassed.”—

John L. Burnett, Member of Congress,
Seventh Alabama District, writes:
“I take pleasure in testifying to the
merits of your Pcruna. At the solicita¬

improved her condition generally. It is
a remarkable remedy. I can cheerfully
recommend Pcruna as a good, substan¬

STAR DISTANCES.
•fhe Method by Which These Arc Meas¬
ured by Astronomers.
‘
What the length , of ... tins room? „
is
Any one can make this simple tneas
urement with a two foot rule. How |
far is if from ibis house to the end
of the street? This question also I
can be answered inswcred easily easily with with a sur¬
veyors tape measure. Hut how
many people ever think of,;tlie pos¬
sibility of measuring the distance
of an inaccessible object ? To dis¬
cover how far away a thing is when 4
we cannot jreach it in dffter to meas¬
ure the distance—this is a problem
of a very different kind. And when
the distant goal of measurement is
one of those luminous stars from
which we are sundered by the pro¬
found depths of spuce, when that
object iz r.ch only supremely inac¬
cessible, but also remote to a degree
as nearly infinite as the human mind
can grasp—in such a case the prob¬
lem of distance is not merely one
of attractive difficulty; it is one that
stirs the imagination strongly.
Bessel was the first to solve this
observational problem. His method
was that simple enough. We have seen
the actual quantity of parallac¬
tic change in a st ir’s position di¬
minishes with the star’s distance.
Consequently we have but to meas¬
ure the amount of this change in
order to have at once an estimate
of the star’s distance.
So Bessel selected- his star on ac¬
count of its large motion, as indi¬
cated by the older star catalogues.
His method of observation, like
every method destined for conspic¬
uous Two small success, was perfectly simple.
auxiliary stars were se¬
lected near the one under observa¬
tion for parallax. Every observing

tanoe the face of'the sky between
each small star and the correctly parallax
star. He judged insignificant quite objects
that these two
must really be almost infinitely far
from us. If such was the case, they
must be perfectly free from any ap
preciable parallactic shift, even ac
cording to the Copernican theory.
If, on the other hand, the suspected
star really is near us, it must suffer
■ parallactic changes, and these must
make it appear to swing back and
forth during the year between the
two stars.
Bessel did not depend upon the
ordinary astronomical telescope. He
was provided with a more accurate
measuring contrivance than had
ever been used before his time. This
instrument, called a heliometer, i3
especially adapted for the most pre¬
cise determination of short dis¬
tances on the sky—such distances
as those separating his parallax With star
from the two auxiliary ones. exactly
it he w r as able to determine
the parallactic changes in his star’s
position, and he proved that these
changes satisfied perfectly the
mathematical conditions that gov¬
ern motions of this kind.—Profess¬
or Harold Jacoby in Harper’s
Weekly. '

“Mr. Bong,” said the secretary of
the Fearful Accident Insurance
company, “be sure to drop in at
old Curmudge’s as you pass this
morning and express your sympathy
over the loss of his brother in the
railroad accident yesterday. Ex¬
press mine also to him.”
.“But old Curmudge had no broth¬

vasser.
“What has that to do with it?”
said the secretary cheerily. “All he
can do is to tell you so.”
“But it might unnecessarily alarm
him,” persisted the canvasser.
“That’s the point; that’s exactly
the point,” returned the secretary
cheerily. “Alarm him as much as
possible. His own policy runs of out
next month, and it is one our
duties to remind our patrons that
in the midst of life we are surround¬
