In the entire firmament, embracing
both hemispheres, there are about six
tin usanil stars visible to the ticket eye,
an-l atnotig this iiuiuon.se numlr. one
in particular, cwing- to its reuiarUable
brilliancy an, I superior tnaiiituile,
must have attracted the attention of
all persons who enjoy an occasional
survey of the heavens in the winter
season. From time immemorial this
star has been observed with the rrtt
esc solicitude by pets. olivines and
philosophers, and is known to astrono
mers lv the name of Sirius the famous
"tlo star'' of the ancients.
There is no other star in the heavens
that has been more universally ol
served, anil around -which there clus
ter so many ancient assiciatioiis and
superstitions, or has received more at
tention from astronomers in all ajros of
the world. W hoover has looked ujxin
this beautiful slaw, located in the
brightest region of the heavens, und
seen it glowinff aikd .(.cintillatin on a
clear und frosty nijrht in winter, must
have beheld with awe and admiration
its indescribable splendor; and one
need m l be an astronomer to admire
its raili.int glory, or U conclude that
this charming' orl possesses character
ises distinruishiiiy it from any otlicr
Mar hi iuc hi iiiiiueui. even iniist' oi
the first magnitude, with which it is
classed by astronomers.
It is true that "one star differeth
from another star in jrlory." and anions
the ;i.000.u00 stars revealed by the
great telescopes of the present day. the
most surpas.-injj plory unp:i'stionably
surrounds the peerless "dog1 star,'
which has been a prominent eelestial
object from the earliest apes, and has
played a somwwhat important part in
the history of mankind.
Sirius belongs to the little constella
tion. Canis Major, a group of tbirty
one stars situated just south and east
of Orion, and almost universally known
from the unrivaled brilliancy of its
leading orb, but which otherwise pos
scsses no noteworthy attraction.
AVhen observed throuph a larpe te'e
scope, Sirius presents a charming ap
pearance and shines with a brilliancy
that is startling to the K-holder. The
lisrht of this star is so stronfr that. when
the glorious orb is entering tlie field of
a powerful telescope, its approach is
announced by a bright dawn, like that
which precedes the risinjj sun; and
when the star itself enters the field of
vision it shines with a dazzling splen
dor, and its brilliancy is so great as to
require a colored tflass to protect the
eye. Sirius is not only the brightest
star in the heavens, but is more than
three times brighter than an ordinary
hrst-majrnitude star, and Ls believed to
be 50U times as bright as a star of the
sixth mairnitudo the faintest visible to
the naked eye. The author of a recent
work on astronomy says: "Everybody
has heard of Sirius, or the do star,
and everybody must have seen it flash
ing and scintillating so splendidly in
the winter heavens, that to call it a
first-magnitude star does it injustice,
since no other star of that magnitude
is at all comparable with it. Sirius, in
fact, stands in a clasn by itself as the
brightest star in the sky. Its light is
white, with a shade of green, which re
quires close watching to be detected.
When it is near the horizon, or when
the atmosphere is very unsteady, Sirius
flashes prismatic colors like a great
diamond, and your eyes will be fairly
dazzled when you turn your glass upon
this splendid star."
It is believed that remarkable
changes have taken place in the color
of Sirius since it was first observed by
astronomers. Whether or not this is
the case, it is now a well established
fact that the stars change their color,
and many instances of the kind have
leen noticed in various parts of the
heavens. Sirius was described by the
ancients as a fiery red star. Many
years ago it was said to be pure white,
but it is now becoming of a decided
green color, as a careful observer will
readily perceive when this star is visi
ble on a clear winter evening. Yet,
many eminent astronomers do not be
lieve that Sirius has changed in color,
and a recent writer on the subject says:
"The question has been much discussed
as to whether Sirius was formerly a
rod star. It is described as red by sev
eral ancient authors, but it seems to be,
pretty well established that these de
scriptions are most of them due to a
blunder made by Cicero in his transla
tion of the astronomical poem of
Aratus. It Ls not impossible, though
it is highly improbable, that Sirius has
changed color."
Owing to the remarkable size and
brilliancy of Sirius, it was once natur
ally regarded as the nearest of the
stars, but its distance is in reality so
great that it has never been satisfacto
rily determined. The most reliable
authorities, however, assign to Sirius a
distance of 100,000,000,000,000 miles
which is five times the distance of
Alpho Centauri the nearest star
known to astronomers and a million
times the sun's distance from our earth!
It has been estimated that the bril
liancy of Sirius is 300 times greater
than that of the sun, and if wc assume
that the intrinsic brightness of its sur
face is the same as the sun's, the sur
face of this star must be auti times
HE 18 A FKKKMAN WHOM THE TRCTH

larger than that of the sun. from which
it follows that the diameter of Sirius is
about eighteen times that of the sun,
and its volume about i,200 times great
er! Prof. (Jarrett 1. Scrviss. referring
to Sirius in a recent magazine article, I
says: "Accordinij to recent estimates
Sirius. while shining with perhaps
seventy times the lilit of our sun. is
only between two and three times as
massive, so that the intensity of its
radiation is enormously greater than
thw sun's. Planets situated as close to
Sirius as the earth and the other inner
planets of our system are to the sun
would be unable to endure, so far as
their life-bearing functions are con
cerned, the gush of heat and Maze of
li'.rht poured upon them unless, in
deed, the organization of livinjj bcinjrs
there were entirely different from that
prevailing here. We should then ex
pect such stars as Sirius, if they are
the centers of the planetary S3'stems
at all, to be surrounded by glolnrs re
volving at comparatively great dis
tances and in long periods of time.
The mind utterly fails to compre
hend the immeasurable distance which
separates our earth from this immense
orb. Light, which travels with the al
most inconceivable velocity of 1m;,oki
miles per seeond, requires twenty-two
years to traverse the distance between
Sirius and our earth. Wt may justly
consider this brilliant sun as the center
of a system of revolving worlds, and
imagine them as being inhabited l-y
creatures far more advanced in intel
lectual development than ourselves.
Hut we are at a loss to conceive of the
vast scale on which the system of such
an immense sun must necessarily be
constructed; and when, in addition to
the startl ng facts already mentioned,
we consider the recent discovery that
Sirius. with its entire family of planets
and comets, is rushing through space
with enormous velocity, the mind is
bewildered in contemplating the won
ders of this stupendous orb. Ily means
of the spectroscope, I'rof. Iluggins. the
eminent English astronomer, has
found that Sirius is receding from our
earth at tue rate of twenty-six miles
per sevond; and yet, even with this al
most incredible velocity the passage of
a thousand 3'ears will' make no per
ceptible difference in the appearance
of this brilliant star, so immense is the
distance which separates it from our
earth.
One of the most interesting results
of the observations directod to this
wonderful star was the discovery that
it is attended by a companion or
satellite, the existence of which had
long been suspected by astronomers,
and which was finally detocted by
mere accident. The presence of this
object had loeii revealed by the effect
of its attraction upon Sirius. the mo
tion of which varied in such a way as
to indicate a powerful disturbing influ
ence in its vicinity. The famous tier
man astronomer, HesseL nearly
fifty years ao expressed his belief
that the periodical variations in the
motion of Sirius were produced
by the attraction of an invisible
companion, revolving around the im
mense orb. Several astronomers had
calculated the orbit of the attracting
liody, and its direction from Sirius at
various times, and, though it was dili
gently searched for, it continued to
elude detection, even by means of the
most powerful telescopes. Hut in Fel
ruary, l.sO, the eighteen and one-half
inch telescope which was being con
structed for the Chicago observatory
by the late Alvan C lark, the famou ;
optician, was pointed to Sirius as a test j
of its power, when the disturbing J
companion came suddenly into view, i
at a distance of alout ten seconds from
the large star, and exactly in the direc
tion which had been predicted for that
time.
We find, then, that Sirius is a
"double star," the two components be
ing physically connected, and forming
what is known as a "binary system."
the smaller star revolving around the
larger, or both around their common
center of gravity. Owing to certain
irregularities in the motion of the
smaller star, which cannot 1h ox
plained, some astronomers are of the
opinion that Sirius has another dis
turbing companion, the existence of
which is indicated by its attraction
only, and which may eventually be dis
covereL In conclusion, we reproduce the in
teresting remarks of l'rof. laniol
Kirkwood, regarding Sirius anil its
companion, published in Appleton's
Annual Cyclopedia for the year lsTO:
"From the discussion of the observa
tions of the companion of Sirius, Dr.
Auwers has found the period of revo
lution to be 4'J years 14ti days; the
semi-axis of the orbit thirty-seven
times the distance of the earth from
the sun, and the eccentricity 0.6148
somewhat greater than that of Faye's
comet. The mass of the companion is
half that of the principal star, or more
exactly-, the mass of Sirius is 13-7t, and
that of the telescopie star 6.71, the mass
of the sun being unity. As the light
of Sirius, according to Sir John Her
scheL is 3'24 times that of an average
star of the sixth magnitude, and as the
satellite discovered by Clark is of the
ninth or tenth magnitude, the light of
the latter must be much less than
1-1,000 part of that received from the
principal star. The facts seem to indi
cate a remarkable difference between
the physical constitution of Sirius and
its satellite." Arthur K. lUrtlett, in
Chicago Inter Ocean.
I-eoplfi Who Wear t'ellnloirl.
There is a store down-wn that has
in it what is known as the celluloid
counter. On the counter is a large
showcase that contains nothing but cel
luloid collars, cuffs and shirt fronts.
"Is there much celluloid worn now?"
asked the writer of the proprietor. "A
great deal," was the answer. "I have
a trade in it which keeps one man busy
at this showcase. The people who
mostly purchase celluloid are traveling
men, railroad conductors, physicia i,
and military men. In fact, it is worn
nearly altogether in thearuiy. I should
say there is more celluloid worn now
than ever before."
Imparity of Mcltl Smi
Writers in English papers have been
again pointing out the fallacy of the
very common idea that melted snow is
an ideally pure water. The reverse of
this is true. So far from being pure,
snow is practically a great purifier of
the atmosphere from floating particles
and noxious gases. These the flakes oi
snow imprison or absorb as they fall,
and, as a matter of course, when the

A Greatly Feared Denizen of the
Maine Woods.

How the (ireat Cat Was
Ilantnl IKiwn.
I had gone up north with my t'nele
Washburn to "make the round"' of the
lumliering camps or "-rangs" estab
lished by the firm of which he was a
inemWr.
l.'p through the wilderness a dis
tance of one hundred and thirty miles
to the "head of Chesuneock." where
there is a supply depot for the lumber
men, there had been a beaten road,
and we had traveled with a double
horse sled, putting the horses tandem
as the track grew more narrow, for it
was toward the last of January -and the
snow lay frora three to four feet deep
all about us. Hat at the "head" the
ttcalcn trail terminated and snowshocs
came into-reiuisition.
A "spotted line" led off to the camps
the nearest of which was some twenty
five miles to the westward. A siMittod
line, perhaps I should explain, is made
by first R-oing through the woods, with
a compass to keep the direction, and
spotting a tree every few rods with an
ax.
After this has liecn done anyone can
travel by simply following the spots.
In the course of a week we had made
the round of all the gangs save two,
which were at work up on the Can
comgomac stream; and after a long
march through the "black growth"' we
came out to the lowermost depths of
these, situated at the foot o'f the lake
of the same name.
Here a queer report came to our ears
from the upper camp, located some ten
or twelve miles above. It was to the
effect that the men hail got scared.
They had seen an "Indian devil," or
"something!"
Now, it would have been no very
strange thing to hear there had lecn a
row in camp: but to hear that a whole
trang of lumU-rmen hail got frightened
was decidedly sensational.
Such was the story, however. And
during the evening the "boss" from the
scared camp every gang has its 1ks
or overseer came down to get a gun.
Firearms for reasons above hinted at.
hal not been provided at the upper
camp
Curiosity Vroke loose at the sight of
him.
"Well. well. Mr. Murch!" exclaimed
Uncle Wash, "what's this I hear of
your gang?"
"Hardly know what to tell you, sir,"
said Murch. "It's a foolish affair. Itut
t.'.e men have got a dreadful bugatoo
started. Fact is, they've been telling
about seeing and hearing something
for more than a week. I .didn't pay
any attention to it, though. IJnt day
before yesterday they all came running
into camp pell-mell, scared half to
death! Something hail j d at
Hilly O'Xun out of a great spruce r
"What did it look like?" asked Uncle
Wash.
"WelL they tell so many different
stories it's impossible to find out.
They all declared it was an 'Indian
devil!' though what an Indian devil
can be is mere than I know. I had all
I could do to get them back to their
work. And last night, as they were
coming in to supper, there was another
scare! Something screeched anil rushed
out from a clump of cedar. Mike Shea
hail the back of his coat all slit to
pieces! He suys the creature did it;
but perhaps it was the brush he ran
through. And this morning not one of
them could I get to stir out from the
camp. There they stuck, and there
they've been all day. I thought I
would come down and get a gun 1
may be able to shoot the creature, if
there really is anything. I must get
their courage up again somehow. You
see, tliey "re not Yankees."
"Have you ever seen anything of
this creature, yourself?" ascd Uncle
W ash.
"Not a thing. Hut I did hear a very
singular cry this evening as I was
coming down. I suppose it was rather
foolish in me, but I stepped along pret
ty fast after that. "Twas a very
startling and peculiar sort of a cry."
"All, well!" laughed Uncle Wash,
we will go up with you to-morrow.
Perhaps we can find out what it is."
The next morning, loading up the
old camp musket, as a reinforcement
to our rifle, we set out. It was toward
noon when we came in sight of the
log camp. A numWr of the men were
standing about the door, and, seeing
us coming, the others came out there
were twenty-three or twenty-four of
them.
"This is a fine sight!" cried Uncle
Wash, as we came up. "Why aren't
you out at work? IK I pay you forty
dollars a month to lay around this
camp all day?"
The men looked a little foolish, but
the fluent Hilly O'Nun came to the
rescue:
"Sure and indade, and your honor
couldn't blame us. Such a tnurther
ing baste as lapes from the tops o' the
trees!"
"What have you 6een, anyhow?" de-
mauded Uncle Wash.
SI. CO and
"Seen! An" ye may well say that!
Seen 'iiu, as big as an ox, an' haard
'im shriek!"
It was no use talking with them
they were in perfect fear. lr M-d. it
was not without the greatest difliculty
that we prevailed upon Hilly to go
with us to the place where the crea
ture had sprang upon him from the
tree. He consented at last, very re
luctantly, and came edging after us.
"We shall be likely to find the ani
mal's tracks if there has really been
anything of, the sort about here," re
marked Uncle Wash.
And we did tinil rather larger ones
than we had loon lookin.? for! Near
the tree which Hilly indicated as "the
one." a heavy trail bega.i. loadiivT oil
into the forest- Tha snow was very
deep and soft, and the beast h..d gone
off with easy bounds striking its foot
altogether, and making huge plunges
some ton or twelve foot apart.
n lien. .Must liave lieen quite a
cat!" cried Uncle Wash. "Guess we
will follow this a little ways. Looks
like big game."
On our snowshocs we didn't mind
the depth, the main thing being to
keep out of the brush. Hut, after fol
lowing for forty or fifty roils we came
t'j where the trail w as crossed by a
much more recent one.
tlone along here some time to-day.
I should judge," said Murch. "May
overhaul him by following this. He
wouldn't rim far at one heap. Snow's
too deep."
Looking to the priming of our guns
we struck off upon the new track, and
had gone twenty rods, perhaps, when
tho trail suddenly stopped. Heyond a
certain point, whore the last heavy
plunge had Ir-cu made into the suow,
there were no more tracks!
Here was a strange terminus, cer
tainly; and we halted in considerable
surprise.
"JJelike he's snaking under the
snow!"' cried Hilly, coming up. "An
he'li le laping out on us!"
And we were laughing at Hilly's hy
pothesis when a strange cry a wild,
shrill scream rang out. seemingly
over our heads! Our eyes followed the
sound, and there, on the limb of a
groat yellow birch, up full thirty feet
from the snow, crouched a large, light
gray animal, with its ears laid back
and its long tail licating time on the limb
behind, rvady to spring down. A fellow
can t turn round very quick on snow
shoes; but I assure you I wasn't long
performing that evolution. As I hadn't
been intrusted with either of the guns.
I felt anxious to put the fighting moil
in the rear. Hilly was already ahead
of me. And just then there came an
other screech. Hoth guns wore fired;
and, glancing over my shoulder. I saw
the catamount bound from the limb,
and heard a heavy thud down into the
snow.
"We haven't hit him! He's coming!"
yelled Murch. No time for reloading
guns.
"Ilun! for heaven's sake run!"'
shouted Uncle Wash, puCing up be
hind. And. we did run. A man can run on
snowshoes after a fashion and pretty
tolerably fast at a pinch. Hut the
depth and softness of the snow alone
prevented us from being overtaken.
Screech after screech followed us as
we flopped along, but at every bound
the creature wmt in even with its
back. On we went for dear life, and
were not many minutes getting over
the seventy-five or eighty rods lietween
us and the camp. The men had heard
the guns and were out around the
door, but seeing us coming they all
dove in again, and we rushed in after
them full tilt, with the catamount not
four rods lehind us. The door was
hastily slammed to, and held.
"Now load quick!" cried Murch.
Peeping out lietween the logs 1 could
sec the panther liofore the camp lash
ing itself and glaring about. Hearing
up against a tree stauding near, it be
gan sharpening its claws making the
bark fly in a very suggestive manner.
"Fix him this time," muttered Uncle
Wash, poking the muzzle of the ritie
out between the logs.
"All ready!" exclaimed Murch, who
hail thrust out his gun over the door.
They fired together. With the re
ports the creature sprang up with a
savage growl, and, as if intending to
get into the tree, leaped upward upon
the trunk fifteen or twenty feet; but
fulling back into the snow, turned and
bounded away.
"After him!" shouted Murch, pulling
open the door and rushing out. "After
him with your axes!"
We ran out. There was blood where
the creature had stiod and the trail he
was making was marked with gTeat red
blotches.
The whole gang now turned out
after us to hunt him down; but the
fighting part was over. At a distance
of a quarter of a mile we came up with
the old fellow lying panting and ex
hausted in the snow. Another shot
with a few knocks from an ax, did the
job, and it was amusing to see how
brave the whole gang liecame in the

The I'nlque Complaint of ail Outraged
Servant.
A Japanese 1mv who works in a San
Francisco clubhouse recently sent the
following picturesque complaint to the
officers: "To-day I wont to the club to
got my wages. The steward. Mr. John,
ordered me to leave, with many repeti
tions of alxiiiiiiialile oaths which a man
of some honor can't restrain bis passion
from revolt on such a violent shower of
curs'. Anger was lieyond my control,
and involuntarily 1 returned my share
of compliments. upon which he
snatched the potato masher and was
hnital cnoujrh to give me two severe
blows on my person, ami inflicting quite
painful injury. Through all this affair
I was never offensive. When I wont
there to demand the money to which I
was entitled he unjustly enjoined
me to get out. That is an unreasona
ble movement and cannot fail to hurt a
man's feelings. What! Without lieing
satisfied with that insult made my blood
loil and the veins burst with successive
onslaught of ignominous swear. My
returning was completely excusable,
for to le indifferent to such an ignoble
treatment denotes that one is a
stranger to the sense of honor; and o
he ought to have relished it with
abashed submission. And what again!
The tongue the countenance was

ONE OF THE MISSINC.
An Old Soldier Who Wnndered
Back to His tioynood Home.
A man was walking along the high
way that lie lied with while the green
expanse of a Connecticut meadow.
Little puffs of white dust rose at each
footfall, and hung ludiind him iu a
lengthening walL He came heavily,
-l'jwly, the impersonation of weari
ness, yet steadily. There was that in
his gait which associates itself in the
iuiti.1 w ith bodies of men in columr.. He
seemed the material part of an invisi
1,1 v. hole. His gaze was fixed ahead,
is though on the back of a front-rank
ile, nnd the momentum of marching
comrades swept him along.
Yet the meadow farmers and the
Iwcllors in the village, whose church
-teeple rose beyond a fringe of trees,
distinguished him only as one of that
irregular army of foragers against
wl.r.m, as reputable citizens they were
arrayed. They would have given no
attention to such fine individual dis
t .!:i ti ns oven had their critical quality
li -i n educated to it, and it was not.
'1 h'ii'ty years had gone by since they
had I teen enlivened by the presence of
the military; and then it had been for
bv.t a few days and their materialized
prrtrio isin marched aw ay in bine to
the southern war. No. Tramp-, wore

lie li.urelied up the road in that un
seen column, a man of defeats. Some
times he h-r.ned so far for-vard that his
balance la-came uncertain, and he
wavered to the plumb. Men at work
h field leaned on their hoes as he
passed, to regard him w ith hostile eyes.
With some his unsteadiness was the
occasion for derisive mirth. Hut the
flili-r ones grimly forecast his deten
tion in the calalioose. the cost of his
maintenance, the tax it brought upon
them, and resumed work with a fierce
sense of personal injury-. And the
tramp, after each wearied lapse, com
pellel himself to attention, arid
marched on.
White, snug farmhouses stood now
and then along the road. As he came
abreast of one a woman appeared at
the door, but, seeing him, she hastily
reentered and fastened the dimr. The
tramping man turned into the door
yard, but he halted as the woman ap
peared at a chamber window, flutter
ing her arms as though scaring chick
ens. She called lo him, nervously, ii
prchonsively: "Ho right away. I've got noth'ng
f, r you.'"
At once he turned and took up his
line of march along the dusty road.
The woman observed the heavy, me
chanical w ay iu w hich he put his legs
successively forward, his arms hanging
like sticks of wood at his sides, and
felt pity for him.
"I'm almost sorry I sent him away,"
she said. Hut she did not call him
back, and he passed out of her sight,
leaving, however, the cadence of his
monotonous sing-song step, to which
her mind sot itself for the rest of that
day.
In another house, as he approached,
a girl was singing shrilly a Sunday
school song:
Hut sweeter than tlielily's lm-atb,'
And than the rose n.i re Mir.
The tender love of hi.in;i:i hearts
TL'psprint'ii.,.- evi ry where.''
Then the song broke oft, and the
singer called, warningly: "Mother,
there's a tramp coming up the road!"'
And the voice of the mother came
sharply out to him: "See if tho front
door's locked."
He plodded past, watched furtively
from behind window blinds. He swung
along painfully, for his joints were
merely worn out, rusty hinges by
which his limbs hung. The hot sun
sweltered him; the fine dust choked
him: his heart was gone out of him.
Still he weut on. like a tired soldier
expecting the welcome "Halt! Hest!'
until he reached a tree by the roadside.
On the grass beneath he stretched him
self, and lay motionless.
Slowly his fatigue lessened. Hy and
by he sat up. The dust of the march
had settled thickly in the deep lines
and w rinkles of his face, and gave it a
drawn, sharpened look. His mouth
was firmly sot, and his dim eyes looked
out resentfully at the bright world
He felt the utter friendliness of a lone
ly man. and he talked to himself:
"They think ine capable of any
thing." said he. bitterly. "It's not
what I have been, it's what I am
a trail p they judge rae by. A war
record don't count, nor three more en
listments, nor knocking about ia the
mines. I'm a tramp.
"Thirty years ago, when we marched
out of this town, there were cheers und
waviugs. There's waviugs enough
now, and they mean 'go. same as then.
Only there's a curse with it now, in
stead of a cheer."
He pulled a squ-ire of hard bread
from his pocket, luoisteued it in the
runlet at the foot of the tree, and bit it
savagely. He heard a door at the next
farmhouse shut, and knew a woman
had come out towards him. Uc ex
pected a sharp order to move on. She
had nearly reached him, when h
looked up and saw that she held a cup
in her hand, extended towards him.
"Would you like this milk?" said she.
