ur'dfMDGUS SIZE OF Trie bu.
Some CoiiipiiriftoDi Thnt AffcrVd a Concep
tlon of tile Orb's Ininienglty.
Ponder also upon the stupendous size
of that orb, which glows at every point
of its surface with the astonishing fer
vor I have indicated, writes Sir Rob
ert Ball in McClure'a Magazine. The
earth on which we stand is no doubt a
mighty globe, measuring aa it does
8,000 mlies in diameter; yet what are
its dimensions in comparison with
those of the sun? If the earth be rep
resented by a grain of mustard seed,
then on the same scale the sun should
be represented by a cocoanut. Per
haps, however, a more impressive con
ception of the dimensions of the great
orb of clay may be obtained in this way.
Think of the moon, the queen of the
night, which circles monthly around
our heavens, pursuing as she does, a
majestic track, at a distance of 240,
000 miles from the earth. Yet the sun
is so vast, that if it were a hollow ball,
the moon could revolve on its orbit
which it now follows, and still be en
tirely inclosed within the sun's in
terior. For every acre on the surface of our
globe there are more than 10,000 acres
on the surface of the great luminary.
Every portion of this illimitable des
ert of flame is pouring forth torrents
of heat. It has indeed been estimated
that if the heat which is inces
santly flowing through any single
square foot of the sun's exterior
could be collected and applied
beneath the boilers of an At
lantic liner it would suffice to produce
steam enough to sustain in continuous
movement those engines of 20,000 horse
power which enable a superb ship
to break the record between Ireland
and America.
SOCIABILITY OF INDIANS.
They Are Fond of Paying Social Visits
Amnug Themselves.
Indians, contrary to widely received
opinions, are of asocial nature and fond
of paying friendly visits, the etiquette
of which would make u chapter of it
self. Not much attention is given to
the order of their going while in the
dust of travel, but when arrived within
a short disance of their destination a
halt is called, the ponies are relieved of
their burdens, the rawhide packs are
opened, and gala dresses and line, orna
ments come to light. The two young
men selected to be the bearers of gifts
of tobacco deck themselves for their
mission and ride on in advance. A sur
prise party is not in the Indian b list
cf amusements; he takes his enemy
unawares, but not his friend. The
young men return with messages of
welcome; sometimes members of the
family to be visited come with them
personally to conduct the party.
Meanwhile, writes Alice C. Fletcher
in Century, all have been busy prink
ing; brushing and braiding their locks,
painting their faces, and donning their
best gear, the wide prairie their dressing-room,
their mirrors each other's
eyes. When the visiting fmrty is again
cn route there is not a man or woman
v ho is not gorgeous with color and the
glitter of shell or feather finery. Even
the children hove daubs of fresh, paint
cn their plump little cheeks, while the
dudes are wonderful to behold, resplen
dent in necklaces, embroidered leg
pings, and shirts, and with ornaments
innumerable braided into their sculp
locks. The visit over the Indians go
back to their homes pleased and con
tented, happy if they find, as may not
always be the ense, that the enemy
have not been at work in their absence.
THE CARRIER PIGEON.
An Explorer's Wife Cheered hj the Mes
sage That It Ilronght.
One duy a wonderful bird tapped at
the -. indow of Mrs. .vunnen'a house at
ChriMiauu. Instantly the window was
opened und the wife of the famous arctic
explorer in another moment covered
the little me nger with kisses and
caresses, says the Philadelphia Times.
The carrier pigeon had been uway from
the cottage :iu long mouths, but it hud
not forgotten the way home. It brought
a note from Nnusen stating that all was
going 011 well with him and his expedi
tion in the polar regions. Nauseu hud
fastened a message to a currier pigeon
and tnriird the bird loose. The frail
courier darted out into the bli.ardly
u'r. It flew like an nrrow over l.(ini)
miles of froen waste and then sped for
ward over another l.OUO miles of ocean
and plains ui:d forests, unci one morning
ent. nil 1 h- w indow of the waiting inis
t.rei.(. and delivered the message which
ahc hnd been .r. uiting so an viously. We
boast, of human pluck, sagacity und en
durance, but this loving little carrier
pigeon, in iu homeward flight, nft r an
absence of .10 month, accomplished a
feat so wonderful that we can only give
ourselves up to the umuzciurnt and hi.
miration which must overwhelm every
one when t)f marvelous Mory is told.

W. C. T. U. MATTERS.
Mrs. Inruh Visits Heppner and Talks Inter
estingly oa Teuperauce Subjects Other
Motes.
It has been the good fortune of Hepp
ner people to be again favored by a visit
from Mrs. Ada Wallace Unrub, state and
national organizer and lecturer for the
W. 0 T. U. Her visit extended 'over
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, the 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd
ult., and all public meetings and
lectures were eDjoyed each day by good
andienoes, beginning with a reception
given at the resideooe of Mrs. Belle
Thompson on Tuesday afternoon. This
was a deligbtiul occasion aud as the
Qours passed in conversation, both enter
tabling and instructive, aud in doing
justice to the flue dinner prepared by
the hostess, it was demonstrated that
W. C. T. U. women although such
earnest workers, are also sociable beings.
The lecture Tuesday night at the M.
E. ohorch, South, eubjeot "That Old
Baohelor," presented that interesting but
oruHty personage in several unexpected
attitudes. After showing np hia unpre
tentious domicile with its seldom-nsed
broom and historio and antiquated dish
towel, etc., a parallel was drawn between
this one sided method of housekeeping
and that of our venerable relative.
"Uncle Sam;" and the abuses of our
national administration were exhibited
in so strong and true a light as to be
simply astounding.
On Wednesday afternoon a "Mothers'
meeting" was held at the M. E. church,
whioh was well attended and much in
tenet was manifested in prao!ioal ques

tions pertaining to subjects near to the
woman's heart.
Wednesday night the subjeot dis
cussed at the Christian churoh, "A
Woman's Sphere," showed in a convino
ing way that while a woman may not be
excused from home duties and social
amenities yet the channels of her life
may be deepened and broadened into a
usefulness and beauty which none but
the ideal "new woman" has yet attained.
Mrs. Unrub lectured again on Tuesday
night at the M. . cbnrcb, the audience
at this, as all other meetings, being good
considering the busy season. Her argu
ment on this oooaeion was most convinc
ing, being an earnest appeal for perse
verance in temperanoe work although
the worker meet with discouragement
and rebuff again and again. Many
signed the pledge and beoame members
of the union.
The talk to girls at the Baptist church
on Friday was the dosing meeting of
the series. This will long be remembered
by Heppner girls, and the earnest words
spoken in her sweet winning manner
found their way to the hearts where she
badalready a warm plaoe, and those
young lives were made better and bright
er for all time to oome.
The thanks of the W. C. T. U. are due
to all who so kindly assisted to make
the meetings so pleasant and profitable.
The four ohurohes who opened and
lighted their houses for us, the ministers
and others who belpel with muoio and

appreciation and Heppner W. C. T. U.
will go on in its labor of love strength
