VAGARIES OF THE VARIABLE STARS Algol and Mira Are Objects of Great Interest. STUDYING THE PLANETS Evening Star. JE BRIGHT STAR which may now be cen low in the south is at about 9 p.m. Fomalhaut, int Southern Fish. It is one of the twenty stars of the first mag- nitude. In the soutn- west, about half way from the horizon to the zenith, is another first magnitude star, Altair, in the Eagle.

Observe that it lies on a curved variable star, howing the positions of the principal stars which are above horizon October 1-15-20, at 9-8-7 P.M. line drawn from Aldebaran throwgh Men- kar and Deneb Kaitos to Fomalhaut. Men- kar, the “Snout’ of Cetus, is of the second magnitude. It forms, with the pair of stars in the head of Aries and the Pleiades, a large equal-sided triangle. Mira ig at the right of this star, at about one-third of the distance to Deneb Kaitos, in the tall of Cetus. It is now visible as a reddish star, nearly, if not quite, as bright as Menkar. The star’s peculiarity is this: When at its faintest it is away below the limit of the naked eye, and even of a field glass, being then of between the ninth and tenth magnitudes. It {s then cherry-red, con- trasting strikingiy with a white compan- ion, of about the same magnitude, which constitutes a double star. Having remain- ed thus for some weeks, it begins slowly to brighten, and in the course of two or three months it becomes visible to the naked eye. Continuing to brighten, in a month or six weeks after it becomes vis- ible it reaches its maximum of brilliancy, which is usually that of a star of the third magnitude, though it sometimes surpasses this brilliancy and occasionally it stops short of it, for irregularity in this respect of its eccentricities. Then, having f while about this point ‘of max- imum briliancy—sometimes paling a little and then flashing up again—it begins stead- ily to decline in brightness, and in two or three mcnths it !s again beyond the reach of the naked eye. An Unreliable Star. Mira runs the gamut of its changes in an average period of 331 days, during less than one-half of which time it is visible to the naked eye. Its last maximum occurred abeut December 1 of last year, so that, ac- ecrding to program, it should be at its brightest this year about November 1. But departure from its program is another of Its eccentricities. It has the look now (Sep- tember 20) of being near its maximum, and if this is the case, it is a full month ahead of time. By all means find this interesting star, and keep an eye upon it. The cause of the singular deportment of this and similar variable stars is one of the celestial enigmas which science is still attempting to unriddle. The spectroscope been appealed to, and with- p the mystery entirely, {t has the very interesting fact that the crease in splendor is due in a great 1 outbreak of glowing gase: y be the cause. ight lines appear in its spec- oglyphs in which the astronomer sees evidence of radiation from incandes- cent gases, of which the principal is the everywhere present hydrogen.

Tt is a little curious, at first thought, that vwlen this planet s nes the most brightly it is not “full,” as is the case with the sk moon, but is in a crescent phase. The rea- son ts that when Venus shows a full, round disk she is yond the sun, her distance frem us is t its greatest, and her apparent size 1s at its le As she swings around in her orbit her distance diminishes and her disk appears larger, and, though we now see only a portion of it, we really get more light from what we do see than at first from the whole disk.

Mars has w become an evening star, in Gemini, rising shortly before midnight. Jupiter is still an evening star, but is too rear the sun to be observable.

From the Medical Press. The use of soaps containing a disinfect- ant of some kind has become so general that observations on the practical value of such combinations cannot fail to be of in- terest. Dr. Reithoffer has recently publls! ed the re of some experiments carried out by him with various kinds of soap, hav- ing for object to determine their value as microbicides. He used the ordinary mottled seap, white almond soap perfumed with nitrobenzine, and hard potash soap, He found that these soaps were very inimical to the cholera microbe, a 1 per cent solu- tion killing them in a short space of time, while a 5 per cent solution of the potash soap Killed them in five minutes. We are, at berty to in. that, as in the hands the strength of the on is never less than 5 and may as 45 ver cent, this method of the hands, as well as the is fairly trustworthy. Much stronger solutions are required, howevel destroy the bacilli of typhoid, the colibacil- lus, ete., not less than 10 per cent being sufficient. None of the soaps experimented with appeared to have any effect on the ogenic microbe, The practical result of > investigations 1s that it is ays preterable to use Soap gnd water first of ail, rinsing the hands in the disinfectant seiution afterward. This is an important point which merits to be generally made known. eg pre Two Thoughts and One Moon. From the Philadelphia North American, “My dear,” he said, “when I saw the moon last night I thought of you. It was beautiful.” “And I thought of you when I saw it,” teplied his wife. “Tt was full.” soe In proportion to its size, Switzerland has more inns than any other country in the World. The entertainment of tourists has become the chief industry of the land. No less than 1,700 hostelries, stationed for the most part on mountain tops or near gla- clers, are on the list, and the receipts of the hotel keepers amount to $25,000,000 a year. so it cannot be such a bad business, KNIGHTS TEMPLAR Pittsburg Busy With the Coming Triennal Conclave. PRESIDENT M'KINLEY 1S EXPECTED Gorgeous Electrical Illumination Promised. GRAND PARADE AND BALL Special Correspondence of The Eventing Star. PITTSBURG, September 29, 1898. This city is busily preparing for a miil- tary display which, in so far as the exhi- biticn of gold lace and the other decorative insignia of such gatherings are concerned, will cause the entire equipment, field and staff, of the American and Spanish armies engaged in the late war to seem pale by comparison. The occasion of this outbreak of swords and plumes and gorgeous trap- pings is the twenty-seventh triennial con- clave of the Knights Templar of the United States, which is to be held here on October 11, 12 and 13. The fact that many of the returned heroes of the war are sir knights who will attend in that capacity, and that the officers who have the aftair in charge have decided to invite others in the en- deavor to make the gathering a grand peace jubilee, wilk give the meeting a wide- spread general interest, aside from its im- portance in the annals of Masonry. It is estimated by the members of the committee of arrangements that no less than 25,000 knights will be in attendance, and that the number of friends whom they will bring with them will test the hospitality of the city to its limits. President McKinley, who is himself a sir knight, will probably be one of the visitors. He has announced to the Pitts- burg committee on invitatton that he will be present on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 11 and 12, unless his presence is Tequired in Washington. So certain are the entertainers that the chicf magistrate will be a participator in the festivities that one of the city commanderies has been appoint- ed as his special escort, and arrangements are being made for an exclusive reviewing stand for him. Vice President Hobart, also a sir knight, is another probable attendant, and all the members of the President's cabinet have been invited. But the greatest drawing card, so far as the attendance of outsiders is concerned, is the announcement by Grand Marshal Gen. J. P. S. Gobin that he is negotiating thrcugh the Secretaries of War and Navy for leaves of absence for prominent mili- tary and naval officers who can reach Pitts- burg in time for the meeting. These lead- ers, with their laurels fresh upon them, are to be on th staff of the grand marshal. Among those who have invited to be present in this capacity are Gen. Miles, Gen. Joe Wheeler, Col. Roosevelt, Capt. Sigsbee and a large number of other mili- tary and naval officers. Magnificent Decorations. To do fitting honor to this assemblage, the city will decorate itself in gorgeous attire, and the decorations will be on the mest elaborate ecale. Befitting its position as the home of great electrical companies, electricity will play the leading part in the scheme of decoration. Already the 50,000 horse power which forms the limit of the city’s ordinary supply has been far exceed- ed in the demands for extra power to sup- ply the display designs which will be erect- ed on almost every block. According to the present plans, Masonic emblems formed by thousands of electric lights will be visible everywhere, on the roofs of high buildings and on the sur- rounding hilltops. Probably the largest of these will be a cross 100 feet high, with a crossbar sixty feet long, which is to be placed on the tower of the county court house. It is expected that the city will resound with the music of martial and national airs, as the committee has already secured the attendance of the 6th Cavalr Band (mounted), the Marine Band of Washing- ton, the Annapolis Cadet Band of Naval Academy, and regimental bands from San Francisco, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit and other cities. The gran@ parade of the meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 11, and it is ex- pected that 25,000 swords and plumes will be on exhibition afoot, on horseback or in carriages. The knights will be reviewed by the President and the other distinguish- ed visitors. The line of march will extend to Schenly Park, where a formal welcome 1o the grand encampment will be given by the most eminent grand master, W. La Rue Thomas, Mayor Ford of Pittsburg and Mayor Geyer of Allegheny. Thereupon the encampment will go into session in Carne- gie Music Hall, where the business mect- ings will be held. Reception and Ball. Another important feature of the meeting will be the grand reception and ball to be held in the Duque-ne summer garden. Grand Marshal Gobin will deliver the ad- dress of welcome on this occasion, and Gov. Hastings, who ts to attend with his staff, probably will extend a welcome on behaif of the state of Pennsylvania. As a mark of courtesy, the committee has invited Sir Knight William McKinley and Mrs. Ho- bart to lead the grand march at the ball. During the three days over which the meeting extends the grand commandery, state grand commanderies and local grand commanderies will be constantly receiving and entertaining guests, and the Pittsburg commanderies' will keep open house throughout the entire week. The head- quarters of the grand commandery will be in the Monongahela House; those of the ex- ecutive committee in the department of public safety building on 6th avenue, and those of the escort committee and of the reception committee in old city hall on Mar- ket street. The first-class hotels down town are all filled up already for conclave week. But members of. the executive committee say that while these hotels will hold only 12,000 guests, there are 215 other hotels with ac- commodations for 12,000 more; 10,000 more can be taken care of in private boarding and rooming houses, 15,000 in sleeping cars, while 5,000 are to be received as guests in private families. The railroad companies have assured the executive committee that they can take care of 1,870 sleeping cars without putting down’ additional side tracks, and some of them will run special accommodation trains every half hour dur- ing the day and night to transport visiting knights and their ladies to and from their cars without cost. ——__—_+e+—____ Some English Collectors. Brom the London Mail. New collecting crazes seem to rise up every day, and poster collecting is one of the latest fads; the Duke of York has got several very fine and rare specimens, It is well known that he is also a keen col- lector of postage stamps. Lord Morton’s coilection of luster pottery—both copper and silver—is well known. The late Lady Char- lotte Schreiber bad probably the finest col- lection of fans in the world. Sir Henry Tichborne is devoted to guns, and whenever he can find something novel in the way of firearms invariably adds it, if possible, to his collection. Lord Alington 1s forever in search of some new white bird or animal to place in his White Farm at Crichel. It is well kncwn that the Prince of Wales gave crders for single pearls to be added to each of his daughters’ necklaces on their respective birthdays. Lady Sophie Scott is devoted to turquoises, and has a very large and fine collection of the pretty blue stones, Mr. Walter Rothgchild’s hobby may be said to be collecting animals of all kinds, dead and alive, the former being added to the museum at Tring. \Mr. Charles Kennedy, who has a beautiful house in Piccadilly, has perhaps the finest collection of Batter- sea enamels in London. He has some fine specimens that he bought at the Hamilton Palace sale, and for which he gave several hundreds of pounds. Mr. Edward Sass, the actor, has a unique collection of playing eards, having got specimens from nearly every country in the world; and Mr. Pan- mure Gordon is devoted to carriages of every shape, form and size. ——__+e In Japan, says.a traveler, a man can live like a gentleman on $300 a year. ‘This sum will pay the rent of a house, the wages of two servants and supply plenty of*food. A Democratic Princess. From ‘the Baltimore At-tricen. Princess Louise, Marchioneas of Lorne, is Perhaps the most tic of Queen Vic- torla’s daughters, sper such a term can be applied-to any foyal‘princess. She has no sympathy sebapirteptons and affecta- tions. On many iéns her royal high- ness has done things with her own hands that women whose chief claim to considera- tion existed in th ow ff imagination would have rung the bell ‘servant to do. Once when visiting the school room of a certain little lady who had very exalted ideas of her own rank she discovered that affairs between pupil ata governess were a little strained. The princess inquired of the governess the cauge. The little lady, at once sure of the right on her side, burst in with: “Miss F. wanted me to clean my slate. Surely, a dike’s daughter need not clean her own slate!’ ‘Miss F. is quite right,” said the pr! ‘ss. “I am the queen's daughter, and I always cleaned my slate.” Once the princess was presiding at a committee meeting, and when leaving the house where it was held the hostess drop- ped her bangle. She was politely waiting until the princess had passed to pick it up, but to her surprise Princess Louise stoop- ed, picked it up, and gave it to her, saying imply, “I might have trodden on your pretty bracelet.” The dignity of royal ladies depends upon other things than small observances, al- though in the matter of etiquette they are all past mistresses when occasion requires. a The New Circuit.
