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

o«IU ur NAPULtUN III.
M. 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.’’

It wa* In the middle of the dry sea
.on and the night had been Intolerably
warm, but by stretching my hammock
m the veranda, which faced the (to
lualla river, I managed to gain a few
h<U(* of rest. It could hardly he f ail

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

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

of cannibalism that they never admit i
the practice, and so In thla Instance ,

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

. 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

After being exhumed Lloyd prepared
the following statement for publica

‘ When I west Into the coffin T let
the lid down. 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

1 got out of the coffin and felt the air
I did not realise where I was at firs:
