The feet la, the figure* are beyond compre lienalon of the ordinary Intellect when Net down In row* that bewilder. We «re told that the Drat three llgnrea are iinlta, term an I hundred*, the next three thoiiaand*, the next mllllorm and • he next iiIIIIoiih. The flgurea look In nocent enough und we ran amlle at bundreda of dollar* and think with tdea*imihlr feeling* of ihomtantla, which melt Into million*, hut the brow cloud* with rare when we endeavor to get a comprehensive Idea of that wonderfully overwhelming quantity Net down na it billion. Now, what I* Inatantaneou* action? The mind la Incapable of comprehending the al moat Inflnlteilinal dlvialon* of time that are recorded upon aomc of the wonderful machine* uaetl by aclentlflo acureber* after the truth. Light trav ^ • la at the rate of two hundred thoiiaand n lie* a xorond, mid lx, therefore, In Ntaiitaiieoux. The axtronomere tell it* that when a fla*h of lightning occur* upon our earth It I* not, vUible on the im on until u *e<'ond and u nnarler nf ferwards, nor on the sun’s surface un til eight minutes, or ou Drag us for two hours, arrl upon Neptune until four and a quarter hours after Its passage through the ether, No.v away, far, far away, beyond Neptune, there are such slurs as Vega, of the fits! magnitude, and on them the Im aginary light of the (lash would not tall, although traveling at the amazing rate of twelve million miles a minute, till forty-five years had passed, but further, much further on In the never ending space above us, there are still more distant worlds, sparkling like diamonds on blue velvet, and those of the eighth magnitude would require tone hunuted and eighty years, and those of the twelfth magnitude four thousand yeara, for the same flash to reach them, rushing through space nearly two hundred thousand miles each time that a watch makes a single tick. A shadowy sense of eternity and In finite distance can he formed from a contemplation of the distances of the stars from the earth. The moon is two hundred and forty thousand miles dls y tant, hut the sun Is ninety-three mil lion two hundred and fifty thousand miles from our planet. The Immen sity of the sun seems almost too much for the human mind to comprehend, for it is more than a million and a quarter times larger than this great earth on which we live. Sir John Her achel remarks that If the whole of the earth were laid upon the surface of the sun It would not cover more than one thirteenth-thousandth part of its sur face, and so great Is Its heat that from every square yard of Its surface there is exhaled a temperature equal to that which the burning of sixteen tons of coal every hour would produce—suffi cient to keep a steam engine of sixty three thousand horse-power at work. Still, the sun is hut a star of the fourth magnitude. Everybody is familiar with "the dog star," Sirius, the nearest fixed star to earth, a sun of suns. This *>tar is upwards of thirteen millions of miles from this earth. So much great er is it than our mighty sun that if broken to pieces It would provide ma terial for about two hundred and fifty tu ns as large aj our own. although our nun. If broken into pieces, would pro vide materia! for one million, four hundred thousand globes of the size of the earth. We hear the astronomers talk of billions of miles and years and other things, but few people can form Va conn ptlon of the quantity comprised In a billion. The mind la Incapable of e< nceiviug such an enormous number. In order to comprehend (his fact, it may be staled that. In order that a person may count a billion, he would require nineteen thousand, three hun dred and twenty-live years and three hundred and nineteen days. The arlth ntetiral symbol of a billion Is simple nnd without great prelent ion !<et ns consider a billion as a measure of time and ill-tone It is n<> easy mailer lo bring under the i«■«»• • nv e of the human eye a billion of any hind of objects.

Halnt-Amand, the eminent French historian, give* the following Humming up of the character and achievement* of Napoleon III, which convey* a cl estimate of that remarkable man: "Whatever Judgment posterity may pass upon the second emperor, it Is ari inconiestible fact that for nearly i:j years he was the most conspicuous per Monage In all the world. No figure In the latter half nt the nineteenth cen tury he* ho obtruded Itaelf Into his tory. One of the most, singular characters that, has ever been examined Is c< rlaln ly that of the victor of Bolferlno, the vanquished of .Sedan: more cosmopolf tan than French, at. once a dreamer and a man of action, by turns and even sometime* simultaneously democrat and autocrat, tormented now by the prejudices of the past, and now by new ideas, the representative of rae*ari*m and at the end of his reign the cham pion for popular liberties, taking for counsellors men thoroughly antipodal their antecedents and their doc trines. looking like a sphinx and not always able to guess his own riddle, active beneath an Indolent appearance. Impassioned despite an Imperturbable Indifference, energetic yet with an air of extreme moderation, loving human ity while contemning It, kind to the humble and compassionate to the poor, very seriously occupied with the Idea of bettering the material and spiritual condition of the majority, victim of the faults of others still more than of his own, and better than his destiny. The republic will always reproach the second emperor with having made the coup d'etat and Interfered with lib erty. The frightful disasters which concluded his reign cannot he forgot ten. A grudge Is borne him for not remaining true to his Bordeaux pro gram—’"The empire Is peace”—a truly fecund program which would have per mitted him to realize his dream of ex tinguishing pauperism. But on the other hand people remem ber that he took part in every great affair In all quarters of the globe, that he broached all problems, raised all questions, that his eagles soared victo rious from Pekin to Mexico, that he strengthened universal suffrage, pro claimed the principle of national sov ereignty and the principle of national ities, realized in Italy, perhaps, alas! to the detriment of France the dream of Dante and of Machivelli. emancipated the petty nations of the Balkan peninsula, inaugurated the sys tem of commercial liberty, sought ev ery means wnicn nilgai wring iwgemer and unite peoples, and borrowed more than one useful reform from social ism. It Is remembered In fine that he de clared nations should he the arbiters of their own destinies, and that he tried to substitute for the ancient sys tem of conquests the maxim. 'Right be for night.’ The ideas of this mod ern and revolutionary sovereign, this fore might.’ The ideas of this mod archjr and the republic, were developed In au Imperfect manner only, and for tune, whose favorite he had been so long, ended by being pitiless In his re gard. Hut tils work, though inter rupted, had a certain grandeur. Oth ers will perhaps accomplish what he vainly dreamed, and democracy may some day do that wherein a Caesar failed.’’ Su II* • Sew lurk t-laut f first Baseball flayer- I am tired o* this hard luck I wish things would begin to c one my way.

It could hardly he f ail ed sleep With the sun fame rolling up from the waste of salt, lagoon* cloud upon cloud of noisome vapor heavy with the poison that makes life In Hlcrra Isone an uncertain problem tnd has properly obtained for the spot the term "the white man’s grave " I ordered my hoy to prepare breakfast and then, taking up my book, slipped Into a Madeira chair and had read hut a few lines when my attention was di verted from It by the regular tap, tap, tap of a distant drum evidently mark ing a step. The sound came nearer and nearer, until suddenly only a doz nn riels from rny bungalow without a grove of coco palms emerged a black-vlsaged sergeant of the native troops. Ity his side walked the drum rner, and Immediately back of them '■ami three men abreast. Two of these were uniformed In the garrison tunic, trousers and fez, their arms at carry; two platoons similarly attired followed In close ranks, while an Kng llab officer brought up the rear. The man In the middle particularly attracted my attention by hi* strange garb, and a* the fompany passed wlth l'i five yards of me I readily distin guished the prisoner, for prisoner he was, a* an Imperrl, one of a fanatical reet of natives whose persistent prac i • <it cannibalism the colonial police had endeavored for years to suppress. As I had been In the Interior for sev e/al months and had hut lately return ed to the coa-ft I hastened to Inform myself of the meaning of this ante breakfast procession. It appeared that the Imperrl tribe, haunt them and pursue them *>Ui bis presence. If Is significant of devotees of cannibalism that they never admit i the practice, and so In thla Instance , the old man’s Ia*t words voiced bis In dianan! and energetic protest that he waa guiltless The more timid of the onlookers became silent when they beard the threats, as alt Africans stand In areat awe of the dead and have Implicit faith in supernatural vis itations. Then, as the drum sounded a signal to the hangman's aaslrtsnt. who was concealed In the neighboring clump of tree*, j turned away Returning an hour later I saw the corpse of the fm perrl resting on the ground near the scaffold, minus the right hand. The heart had also been removed and hur led with the amputated member In a spot remote from that se)ecr<d for the burial of the body. This was In strict accordance with the native (relief that If the right hand and heart are sep arated from the body the deceased Is thereby prevented from revisiting bis former abode or (rota doing further mischief This custom, abhorrent as I appears, I* rendered necessary by tbc native's Indifference to death, but a< this Indifference does not ejtcnd to the mutilation of his body its effect )y who)'vein* OHO K FRENCH.

SCENE DURING AN EXECUTION IN DARKEST AFRICA, (from a Photo.) whose habitat Is less than twenty miles from the seat of tbe colonial govern ment, Sierra I>eone, on the west coast of Africa, where a pretense of civiliza tion has been maintained for more than a century, had very recently been detected in another man hunt, caught red-handed in fact with the remnants of their horrid feast scattered on every s'de. The prisoner whom 1 had seen but a few minutes before bad be -n ad judged guilty cf participating in tbe offense, and the death penal:.* was about to be inflicted by hanging. The African, with his usual disre gard for the lives of his fellows, when not closely watched by superior offi cers. is not in the habit of taking prisoners. The trouble of feeding and guarding them is too great. But one meek old gentleman who was caught in the act of grilling a tibia over a slow fire, preparatory to disposing of it. was knocked over by the flat of a sword wielded by a white officer, and on regaining consciousness was bound hand ar.d foot and unceremoniously lugged down to the coast In common with a quantity of loot. He was promptly convicted In the colonial court of cannibalism, and ! had arrived just in time to witness th# Cloning scene. The townspeople were * warming toward the gallows, which had been erected contiguous t* the t anks of the river, and following them I secured a place cloee to the old im perrl and arranged my camera ter a few shots. The iondrtuned man was not at all (envious in hta appearance*. On the contrary, hi* e tunteaance was strangely gentle and calm, and the long white gown that enshrouded hta body, hang ng from the path, gave him quite a patriarchal aaptc The batter rises at the gierrw Leon r*e did not attend the ceres- my. but hundred* id Kruno» M*-r. •:» Tim kit and I'oulah* *r»*»*d us • ' iv )■ If**! tstitfb'it&A jk «**t 11£ <&% # ul h*F tH4 <**iUL*S tj*?J#t b ♦> ly 4v> |A# ■% th* u«i*4$ n «t« in* A feKttlftlt AMH AiMy.. imiv h Aft A A toft WNMfc r • ly in the go wither of the Wees - mat, abeie thirty d.flereat dialwta may be h««rd ta the afreet* within a r*4t*e at Ih mb* tbe tmperr e*» permitted »■ ■ *paaa foe a bra minute*, **4 i a • seemed be * ring to tbe *wtPw<e nil hi* dormant bfwllt He vemed hie agin to* at tbe authotitiea tbe *(»♦>*■>'. »«d i t ** nmta* in geaee*: in i 4 t*> * .*«* rn’enmpanying e*.-h p***a# by * vo 1**1 geetwte* He told h«* a*** •re tbat be *aa wet boh n* ns* th* 1**4 at the mont* b*t be iu«*n them In * ibab d h«m ml mu* tv* tn*> be **H»bl **f«ty rvie>* to writ tw similar to those with which the gam* U played in our part of the world only they were somewhat lighter, ael-' dom weighing above twelve or four-j teen ounces.

When he vent into battle the Sikh used to car ry eight or ten of these missiles upon his left arm. their sharp outer edges being protected by a kind of cas- j «ng made of platted grass. To throw It he first took off the protecting theath. and. whirling the quoit round his forefinger for a little while, threw it. Legends of the Sikh war say that I men sere decapitated by these flying quoiu. This may. or may not be true, 1 but when it is considered what a naaiy > rut an ordinary light raxor will make - i« casionally.

Just at 4 o'clock last tiunday morning When they threw the first dirt on the coffin I ye-iied up for them to pile it oo. It seemed to me Juat as though J was going to bed. I laid awake for about two hours and talked with the people on the ground. I had to lay right still. I west to sleep at about ( o'clock and d«d not wake up until noon. I slept like a babe. When I awoke I was startled for a moment, but soon remembered where I war. and for a few momenta whistled to keep up my courage, and it worked all right. ! stayed awake until 16 o'clock Sunday night 1 was pretty cool most of the time, and I got along all right. I didn't more about any more than necessary and was not hungry, though I wanted a drink. 1 went to sleep at 16 o'clock I woke up about thirty-fire times that night. I could not sleep. I kept won dering whether some worms would not get into the ooffiE. and I had a night mare. during which I dreamed that the worms and bugs were crawling all over me and each one was gnawing at my flesh I awoke all right the second day. and that day was passed pmty well. The last night was one of hor ror. I could hear something gnawing at bj coffin. It was not imagination. I dos t know what It was. It couidn t have been a rat. for such an animal could net hare been that far under ground. I ripped on the coffin, and it would not stop. I could not sleep much for fear it would break through into the coffin and attack me. “1 was taken out of the c fia at 4 20 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Wbes 1 got out of the coffin and felt the air I did not realise where I was at firs: 1 was daaed. but I aooa felt all right and as I stretched myself I felt as hungry as aa ox I was stiff and my lips were parched and my voice was husky.
