GENIUS AN 0 SUICIDE
Numerous Are the Cases l-i Which Great
Men llave Taken Their Own Lives.
Discussing tho frequency with which
men of genius have ended their lives by
their own hands, the Popular Science
Monthly says: If wo were to look care-
fully into the histories of the ives of
men of genius, we should find many
names to add to the number already
mentioned, and still more to swell the
list of those who had attempted tho
deed without meeting wun success.
Ilaydon, tho celebrated historical
painter and writer, overcome by debt,
disappointment and ingratitudo, laid
down the brush with which he was at
work upon his last great effort, "Al
fred and tho Trial by Jury," wrota
with a steady hand: "Stretch me no
longer upon this rough world," and
then, with a pistol-shot put an end to
his unhappy existence.
Kichard Payne Knight, the poet,
Greek scholar and antiquary, was a
, victim of melancholia, and finally do-
stroyed himself with poison.
Burton, tho vivacious author of "The
Anatomy of Melancholy," who had the
reputation of being able to raise laugh-
ter in any company, however "mute
and mopish," was in reality constitu-
tionally depressed, and it is believed
that he was at last so overcome by this
malady that he ended his life in a fit of
melancholy.
Kleist, poet and dramatist, brooded
over suicide, attempted it once unsuc-
cessfully and finally.by agreement with
Henriette Vogel, who believed herself
affected with an incurable disease, re-
paired to a small inn near Potsdam,
where they ended their lives together,
Lessmann, the humorous writer, like
Burton, put an end to himself in a fit
of melancholy.
Sir Samuel Romilly, a man of brilliant
genius, by whose efforts the criminal
laws of England were remodeled a
man loved for his sweet nature and up-
right manliness while overcome by
grief at the death of his wife, with hia
own hand sought rest beyond.
Michael Angclo, after receiving a
painful injury to his leg by falling
fm a Rfuffrilil while at work.unon
"The Last Judgment," became so mel
ancholy that he shut himself in hia
room, refused to see anyone, nnd "ra
solved to let himself die." Fortunately,
his intentions were frustrated by the
celebrated physician Dacio Eontinl,
who learned by accideut of his condi
tion. He Called the Tarn.
On the morning of the last election
day, says the St. Paul Globe, the school
ma'am of one of the rooms of the Har
rison school asked for aa expression of
her children, who average about ten
years in age, as to whorn they thought
would be elected, Harrison or Cleve
land. "I think TJarrison will bo elected,"
aid she. "Now, all you who think as
I do, please arise."
Every child arose except one little
boy of ten years. And when she called
.
for the
vote on Cleveland he alone
Jumped to his feet
"Why, Freddy, I am surprised." And
this remark of the teacher resulted in
every scholar making life m iserable for
him the remainder of the day. But the
next morniug when the news that
Cleveland was elected by an overwhelm- (
ing majority bro ke, the exultation of ,
Freddy, as he wal ked into school, can
be better imagined than described.
PHOTOGRAPHING STARS.
Reproducing tho Dome of the
Heavens on Plates.
flow tlie Instruments Are Manipulated to
Secure the Neff itive of a Star In
teresting Information Concern
ing tho Art.
IVof. James E. Keeler, who Is con-
leotol with the Lick Observatory in
in photorrraphiivf was by moving the
telescope, but uwiii;;- to the size of the
instrument lit tlie Lick Observatory this
was impossible, lis the telescope weighed
seven tons. The plan adopted, there
fore, was to make the plate movable by
means of turnm-r screws.
When the photographer wished to do
tome of his work the thing first to be
done was to move the. big telescope so

a different lens for photographic
purposes, nnd it

feet from tlie eye piece, a hole having
been cut in it for that purpose. A secd-twenty-six-plate
is used, and for develop
ment an ordinary pyro and potash. The
developer is used very weak and plenty
of time given to bring out tlie image.
When the plate is developed tho opera
tor has to go at it in a blind sort of fash
ion, as the smaller star images will
not appear till the developing work ia
done.
The photographs of tho planets are
more difficult to secure, owing to the
refraction in the atmosphere. Some
fairly good pictures have, however, been
made of Jupiter and Saturn, and pic
tures of Mars will be taken. Prof.
Keelr showed pictures of the planets
ana tne moon, as wen as uruivius to
illustrate tho difference between the
two. The outer ring of Saturn, which
was not discovered till the big Lick tel
escope was turned on the planet, does
not show in the photograph. The pic
tures of the Milky Way which Prof.

best evcr t.lUcn. The hundreds of stars

rnnstnntlv chann-inrr. and that nrob-
ably the surface of Jupiter is a mass of
changing matter,
"it is a well-known fact that better
photos are obtained through the smaller
telescopes than through the big ones.
Photographing the stars, especially the
small ones, is tedious work, as in some
jases the exposure must last for several
hours. During all that time the plate
dv telescope must be moved so that tho
image of the star will continue in one
place. The exposure for a star of the
sixteenth magnitude is two hours, and
3niy Ono at a time can lie secured un-
less the stars happen to be of the same
magnituik-, so that getting clusters is
particularly long and tedious in its ope-
ration.
In procuring the photographic, star
pictures, often what i-. known as the
trailing process is followed- -Unit is, the
plato is exposed to 1 he star, and then no
attempt is inmle to li. the image in ono
place, hut it passes along over the plate,
making a trail. A number of trailscan,

Anthony Pnillips is a well-known cit
izen of Little Rock. He is something ol
a politician, having at different times
worked with the Democratic and Repub
lican parties; but his chief distinction is
that he is the blackest negro in Arkan
saw. The other day Anthony went intc
a life insurance office and asked for the
man who paid out the money.
"What do you want?" the manager
asked.
VI want er thousand dollars," the
negro answered. "Erbout three months
ergo I had my wife's life insured in this

in all right, an' now ef you'll jest coun

A TROUBLESOME RIVER.
Destruction CaiiMed hy the Vellow llvr
r l In -:l.
The fit Petersburg Ouetle referring
to the latest iiinnihi tinn nf the Yellow
river in northern China, which will
again bring n. p, filiation of more. than
a million upon 1 lie pninl of starvation,
points out that these frequent or peri
odical calamities are the wnrk of man
rather than of nature. Many centuries
ago the Chinese intei-fercil so much with
the stream ns to compel it to change
Its course and dig a new bed for itself.
But this bed the current has never
grown truly accustomed to. It will de
posit Its Immense quantities of sediment
carried down from the uiniiiiiaiiiH in the
most uiiHiii'iible localities, forming
shallows and barriers whu h, when an
unusually large mass of water rolls
down, will overllow and break through
its dykes and inmulate the fertile
grounds along the riverbed. So it has
been for centuries past, and the living
generations are experiencing again and
again tlmt the t.in-i of tho fathers are
being visited with most terrible cruelty
upon remote i!i-s eiidauts. It is doubt
ful whether the river could be turned
back Into its old bed, lying dry ut pres
ent. Hut. if it 'oulil. the old bed has
been changed no mueli In the course of
centuries that, even there. In its old,
natural nnd '.v.nted haunts, the cur
rent of the river might not become tran
quil, hut he fore'-ii to produce periodical
inundations as it docs in its present
course.

THEY HAVE TO WORK.
Only by Htrlc Mcoiuiny Can the Chinese
Keep Uoily und Sunt Together.
Unquestionably Industry is one of tlie
good qualities which may bo attributed
to all the natives of Chum alike. No
ilotiht the fact that ninety-nine out of
every hundred Chinamen perpetually
live "on the ragged edge of existence"
la mainly accountable for this virtue,
hut it is unquestionably tho leading
characteristic which strikes a foreigner
on landing China. No matter whether
his experience lies in the crowded
utreeta of such cities as Canton or
among the village communities on the
northern plains, the same ceaseless dil
igence is observable.
A belated traveler passing through
the streets of a town cannot fail to be
struck with the sounds of labor which
proceed from behind the closed shutters
of the workshop:!; and the London
Athcneuii, says that an early riser iu
the country will be robbed of all sclf
congratulatioii by finding that the Held
laborers ha.ve completed a recognizable
portion of their day's work before he
was astir.
The emperor's day begins during a
great portion of the year before day
light, and iu every yamun throughout
the land his example is followed. Such
Indefatigable Industry would under
favorable circumstances produce a pros-
I perous, well-to-do people, but In China
me population is so uense that it is only
by this means and by tho exercise of
the strictest economy that the natives
arc able to keep Imdy and soul together,
Nothing is wasted hy them, and sub
stances which it would be better to
throw on the dust heap are not unfrsv
imently converted into food.
