Ill Heek en relitr 111 Knimlnlc" of tli Game tVai Umltrd Hew l'rople Vtnl te Talk te Tllni of Aitroneoiy Tlie llrcnm He Did Net Iteallie. Net only have the scientists occasion te regret the untimely death of Itlchard A. Procter, the great mathematician, but his great clrcle of friends all ever the world are mourning, sincerely, the un timely death of oue of the most genial, geed hearted, witty, and companionable men that ever combined great knowlcdge with geed fellowship. The marvel about him was net "that ene small head should carry all he knew," for that la a trlfle out worn, but that he should have hed ttme in his bare half century of llfe te have studied, and apparently mastered the sci ence of mathematics In be many Df Its multifarious applications, It was an astonishment te scientists, bnt nene nt nil te his personal friends, when he published a treat lse en draw poker, but.lt Is due te his memory te say that well as he understood the game sci entifically, he was far from being a first doss player. This fact he acknowledged te me mero than ence, laughingly com- aring himself te the man who plays rou reu rou ctte or Wall ntroet en n "systein," and saying that although he felt certain that he knew the game numerically, he was nene the better for that knewledge when the play seared into the suhllme heights of blurf, or where the result hung, as it often does, en an accurate judgment of the enemy's habits of play. He told with great glce hew he ence played n small game a quarter limit en a railroad train in the west with a party of strangers, nene of whom he knew, and te whom he supposed himself unknown. Thov had played for half an hour bofero anybody had shown a particularly geed hand; when he managed te fill au nce flush en the draw. Twe of the ether players dropped out after the first raise, but the ether, who looked llku n well te de farmer' and was decidedly "green" in manner and ungrammatlcal of spoech, hung ou, raising Mr. Procter back en each turn, till the latter decided that he had bet the full mathematical value of his hand. The farmer raised back at him again, nnd the profosser laid down hlu Hush with a nigh. j Hereupon t u e farmer chuckled, drew In the pet, and exposed his hand, Baying: "It does me geed te 1uke ene e' theso high Btrung scien tific chaps into ramp with nethln' but tun high." Mr. Procter was pre-cinincutly n neclety man In his nicuAim a. vnocTeu. neurs or relaxa tien, nnd wnn equally at home In the club nnd In the drawing room, being nttractlve te men and women alike. Ills manuer.i tcre, from an American standpoint, unusually geed for an Englishman, nmLJn conversa tion as well ns in qu!cl:"nes"s of ftJViirehon ftJViirehen ftJViirehon Hlen, he was far m6re llke an American than llke a lrhen. Homed even le np np preclaim -American jokes about Hosten, 05 Jsa had been In that city nnd had had 'ids own experience among thn Hen hunt ers there, One of these, n lady of "cul chaw," he told the writer about, who, as im Angleinanlac, thought it fiue te decry America In compeilsou with Europe. She Bpeclally objected te the climate en this nlde, nnd npoke rapturously of the beauty of Italian Bkles. "I shall never forget, she Bald, "the sight of the crescent moon ever the Bay of Naples, with 11 big Btar blazing exactly In the center of the cres cent line." The astronomer lest Ids breath for nu Instant, but said promptly, "Yes, In deed. The ntmosphere lsse pure that the moon Itself In theso climates becomes transparent." It is net, perhaps, very wldely known that his dream iu llfe was te be connected with a series, or rather un associated uct, of mammoth observatories In this coun try. These, as he planned the oulllue of the Bchome, were te he located ene In Flerida, ene en eome elevated point In the llecky menntalns, and ene possibly in Alaska, If any f-ite could be found there where the atmosphere is Hulilclently clear. With this chain of observatories, in con nection with the Llek Observatory in California, he deemed that America's part of the world's astronomical work could be dene. The final perfection of the dream was, of course, te be the establish ment of bucli observatories all ever the world, under dldorent governmonts. Ills ambition was te he identified, under the sanction of the American government, with the thrce mentioned, nnd he wn3 aatigiilne of the early realization of at least the beginning of the work. He bo be bo lleved and had told seme of his lutlmate friends that the year 1801 or 1892 Mould Bee the work of establishing the Flerida observatory fairly uuder way. Ily his death of a diseabe undoubtedly contracted In Flerida t hat Btate lest oueof lis warmest nnd most lntlucutlal friends, who would doubtless have beceme oue of her citizens if he had lived. He had tiled his declara tion of becoming a citizen of the United States, and he was making his home in Flerida. The work of these observatories, he firmly believed, would corroborate the theories he advauccd Iu "Other Worlds than Ours." Iu that book he stated his belief that the ether planets were lu n condition similar te that of the earth in past geologic ages, nnd, wild as the belief may seem, he thought that telescopic ob servation would confirm this belief. In Brooklyn, durlug his first ceurse of lect ures, he predicted that Jupiter would be found te be lu nn intensely heated condi tion, similar te what the earth must have been in the anto-mctamerphlc periods, mid that the plaucts Mars aud Venus ueuld, if the tolescepo's power could he suffi ciently increased, show a condition analo gous te that of our own glebo in compar atively recent gcoleglo epochs. Theso predictions have been partially confirmed by the latest observations of the planet Mars, Anether theory which he maintained in private com creation was that the old division of heavenly bodies Inte nobulie. i,uns, planets and satellites would be dene away with by telescopes of higher pecr and greater accuracy, and that with these it would be found that every btage of cesmlcal growth was exhibited lu the heavens. He even went be far ns te sug gest that the astronomy of the future would recognize, first, unorganized nebu he; second, centered nehulie, similar te the solar system iu the beginning nccorJ nccerJ ing te La Place; third, nebular systems dissimilar te the foregoing, In which the law of development would be mero com plicated; fourth, mnltl-ccntcrcd nebular systems; fifth, systems intermediary between the centered nebular and Belar py stems, and se ou. Last of all he thought there would be found dying sys tems such ns our own will be untold nge3 hence. At least two of these buggesttens have been proven correct by the discover ies within the past J ear, made at the Lick obsorvatery. The genial, many sided nature of this wonderful man was shown iu his appre ciation of Artcmus Ward's famous witti cismperhaps his greatest ene which that great man perpetrated nt the expense 01 astronomy. Artcnius warn said mat he could understand hew distances be tween stars were measured, nnd was pre pared te acknowledge that accurate In formation might be obtained about the weight and chemlcal composition of theso bodies, but he would be hanged if he could understand hew the astronomers ever found out their names. Mr. Procter nevcr heard or repeated this joke without hearty laughter. Phllatleliililu' Held llea.l.

The journals of that day wcre printed usually upon the poorest paper, made of straw and cotton rags, and se brittle that the slightest touch mutilated it. The ink, llke the paper, was of the cheapest and commonest, and left its impression, net only en the faee of the sheet, but en the hands no less than en the mind of the reader. Few fonts of new type found their way into the Confederacy during the war, and at the end of four years the facilities for printing had ceme te a low ebb. It was no uncommon thing for publishers te Issue half sheets In lieu of a complete paper, with scarcely an apology te subscribers for the curtailment of thelr literary nnd news rations. It was gen erally understood that this happened only through stern necessity, and net from any disposition en the part of the news paper men te gtve less than an equivalent for the subscription prlce. Sometimes the journal which en yester day appeared in nil the glory of a six column page was today cut down te a four column half sheet, or publication, was suspended with the announcement that the stock of materials had been ex hausted, and that as seen as the efficd could be replenished publication would be rcsumed. Eagerly as the rough sheets were looked for and closely as they were read, a diminution of matter In them, or a failure te appear, caused only passing comment or dissatisfaction. Men's minds woreBO filled with the thousand things that each day brought forth about them, there were se many rumors in the air, and news flew se rapidly even without news paper aid, as te cause themnet tee greatly te miss that which today has ceme te be ene of the veriest necessities of American llfe n dally journal full of all the doings of all the world. Sometimes even the cearse Btraw paper failed the publishing fraternity when an edition was absolutely Imperative, yet In such emergency the In vontive talent nevcr desertcd them. It was Considered a won derful journallMle f at en the part of its publlshprVfe? The Vlckhurg Citlzen, dur ing thcslege of that city, te make its ap pearance, when all ether resources had failed, upon wall paper. Publishers of books and sheet music oc cupied a scarcely less helpless condition than the newspaper peeple. Their boIe grounds of superiority consisted in the fact that the demands upon them were net se urgent. The girl who sang te her soldier lever the popular Bengs of that time, "Lerena." iWlicn This Cruel War is Over," "The Standard Bearer," or "Harp of the Seuth," which wcre all duly advertised "at the retail prlce of $ I per sheet; the trade supplied, however, at half off, with nn additional discount where 100 ofenoplcconroordorod,"didnotexperlenco that Immedlate and insistent need of the Beng nnd its rausle which men and wo men nllke felt for the newspaper that would tell them where the last battle had been fought, which army had been vic torious, who had been promoted nnd who had fallen. The fateful column might contain evil or geed report of eome dear ene, and its coming was full of interest and apprehension. Yet the sheet music, printed llke the newspapers, in the rough est style, upon the commonest paper, with new and then a caricatured litho graphic likeness of seme Confcdcrate gen eral en the tltle page, continued te be sold and sung, even though Its prlce ran from $1 te $'J per sheet. t War songs nnd war music wcre the or der of the day, and the soldiers in the camps and the small boys in ragged jack ets shouted with an equal zest: Iho despot's hecl U ea thy sliare 1 or Farewell forever te the star spangled banner! from dtmluutlve peper covered books of martial ballads. The llttle song books cost nnywhere from two and a half te five Coufederate dellars.jind thelr con tents, with n few notable exceptions, wcre as raedlocre as the paper ou which they were printed. The Bcntiment wa3 there, nevertheless, and this was cared for by the Btngcns mero than the musie or the 1 rleal or literary cxccllcncq of the BOIlgS. The missionary and religious publish ing houses never ceased their praise worthy labor of printing tracts and pamphlets for distribution among the sol diers, but publications of a mero ambi tious or secular standard wero very few. New and then seme adventurous firm in Kichmend or Charleston or New Orleans would lssue a badly printed edition of a new novel, reproduced from a copy smug gled in "through the lines" or brought by the bleckade runners from Nassau. Still, even "Jehn Halifax, Gentleman," and "Lea Mlsorables," which first appeared In the south in this way and this dress, lest much of their attractiveness In thelr Con federate garb of iuforler Ink, had type and werse paper.
