Masy of trie stars are heavier that
our sun. tor example, Muar, me
middle star in the tail of the Great
Bear, is forty times as heavy as the
tun. To the naked eye there are d vc
or six thousands of these heavenly
bodies visible. In all probability
there are worlds revolving around
them.
The popular idea that water is
purified by freezing has leon uitain
disproved by recent careful experi
ments, which show that the average,
amount of impurity retained by the
ice is 3t.3 percent of organic matter,
and 21.2 per cent of inorganic matter.
As organic matter is the more ob
jectionable of the two, the case is
worse than was loriuaiy supposed.
The water spider, which spends
most of its time under water, carries,
bubble of air for breathing on the
under side of its body; and. when
this air is exhausted, it comes to thu
urface for more. It is enabled Ui
carry the air bubble because the un
der side of its body is covered with
tiny hairs set so close together that
the surface film of the water does not
pass them, although the air does, and
thus the air is imprisoned anions the
hairs.
Thu least distance determined foi
the fixed stars from the earth runs
nto billions of miles. Some notion
of the reality iuay be derived from
the fact that if our sun were removed
about 200,000 times its preset, dis;
tance from the earth, it would ai
year to us simply as a star of the tlrst
magnitude. The distance in such a
case woiill exceed lH.ooo.ooo.nuo 01
miles. It follows that If the nearest
fixed star Is further off than this, as
appears to be the fact, every star of
the first magnitude must be larger
or brighter than our sun.
The orbit of the planet Neptune,
thirty times further from the sun
than that of the earth, forms the
outer boundary of the solar system.
The distance is immense, yet shrinks,
into insignificance when compared
with that which lies beyond. Sd
ast is the gulf which intervenes be
tween our earth and the stellar uni
verse that, although many of the
stars are in all probability larger and
brighter than our sun, yet the most
powerful telescope is not able to give
them any appreciable diameter, a
mere point of light being all that is
visible.
Wrongs or the Red Men.
A case that should appeal to the
vuipathies and indignation of the
people is that of the Mojave Indians.
They haye been a stroug ana naray
race, but with trie advance 01 civil
ization (?) and the influence of fire
water they arc rapidly being deci
mated. A few days ago three Mojave
Indians from the Kccdles went to
San Bernandina to sec the United
States Marshal in regard to the white
men selling liquor to their tribe.
They claim that whisky is furnished
in plenty, thus ruining their young
braves, as well as the squaws and
that lately the Indians will not work,
only long enough to secure money
sufficient for a debauch, and that the
agent residing among them will fur
nish no relief.
This is an outrage demanding im
mediate attention, for common hu
manity requires the Government to
look after and protect its wards.
The audacity and persistent policy of
the destructive liquor traffic is such
that not only the Indian, but his
white brother, will have to take
steps to protect themselves against
ts ravages. The highway robber de
mands "your money or your life,"
but this demon of the still calls for
'your money, your life, every earthly
possession, and your priceless soul."
Yet we imprison for a time tne one
and license and protect by law the
other, while he is doing the irrepar
able harm. The Pacific Ensign.

If You Want The Best
ALTHOUGH you may have had good luck
with but few failures iu making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar, you
will have better luck and (following directions)
no failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and res
taurants, and in the homes of our city cousins,
where the latest and best methods are invari
ably employed, and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests,
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints;
never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves lumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is indispensable.
