One of the most astonishing objects in the heavens, especially when photo¬ graphed, is the great nebula in the constellation Andromeda, which is vis¬ ible as a misty speck to the naked eye. It has long puzzled astronomers, be¬ cause while its structure—a series of vast rings surrounding a central mass —suggests a gaseous constitution, Its spectrum is continuous, resembling that of the sun. It has been suggested that it may be composed of stars con¬ stituting a universb external to ours. Recent studies of Its parallax, how¬ ever, indicate that It Is nearer to us than some of the well known stars, such as Capella, and Mr. J. Ellard Gore, the English astronomer, points out that If the Andromeda nebula were assumed to be an external uni¬ verse, having a diameter comparable with that of the Milky way. Its mass would be forty million million million times the mass of the sun. This Is regarded as incredible and so may be taken as an additional argument In favor of the view that this nebula Is a member of our system.—Youth’s Companion. A Curious Superstition. There Is a curioi** superstition com¬ mon to Shetlanders and Cingalese. IIow Islanders so wide apart—some 15,000 miles—managed to adopt each other’s views one does not know, but here Is the fact. The rice cultivators of Ceylon and the fishermen of Shet¬ land resemble each other In one or two rather remarkable points. They re¬ frain from speaking of the Implements of their calling by their names. They call them something else, by names known only to themselves. The reason Is that if the evil spirit were to think that they were speaking of spades and rakes or of nets and hooks he would be tempted to damage them or even to ^appropriate them. The train of thought Is the same with both races: “There Is an evil spirit always on the lookout for opportunities of doing mis¬ chief. He even hears what we say. If we let him understand that we are talking about our Implements and tools, we shall direct his attention to them and shall suggest to him a way of doing an Injury. Therefore we will agree to call a boat or a spade by some fancy name known only to ourselves.” “Poor John! He was a kind and for¬ bearing husband!” sobbed John’s wid¬ ow on her return from the funeral. "Yes,” said a sympathizing neighbor, “but It’s for the best You must try to comfort yourself, my dear, with the thought that your husband Is at peace at last.” COMING.
