A COMET'S JAIL
SECKLESS AARON BURR.
flj CcamaUo Story of H.J Marriaga
In Old Ago.
TKt starv vt Aaron Burr's marriage
fct k'm old age li the widow of Stephen
Ju.mfa', who was well known in tho
e-Jriy history of New York city, 13 a
dramatic one.
Conrvlve, if you will, the picture of
Burr, sifted adventurer that he was,
txoVrn la health, branded in the popu
lar mind as the murderer of Alexander
Hamilton and returning from a Ion,;
to find himself an outcast In the
elzy where he had once been the polit
ies! monarch of all he surveyed and a
fiiiiinsrnisbed figure in society and at
thr tor. Conceive, if you can. this
lamentable old man, smirking through
Lb wrinkles, bowing and prancing
rather stiffly because of his rheumatic
Joints and with his mouth full of pret
ty platltndes, paying court to the wld
iv of Stephen Jumel. herself in the
prime of years and health. Remove
from the picture Its surface incongrui
ties, and you have a bit of pure pathos
naeqaaled In the annals of foolish great
men.
Bet somrthing of his old time pow
er to charm the gentler sex must have
stoid by iilm in his years of mental
anil physical misery, for in his suit for
the widow Jumel's hand and fortune
be ren gloriously, dramatically. Re
lBffrsl repeatedly. Burr fiunlly de
clared iu passionate rage that on a
glren day he would arrive at the Jumcl
ciEsion accompanied by a clergyman,
who should marry them on the spot,
lie traalJ give his prosp?ctive bride no
qua rtrr, r.o chance of escape from the
torr liable.
She was amused at tlu throat and
dismissed the old man vith more tha:i
hrr usual coldness of. demeanor. Burr
sizirt: to his avowal and one July day
jollcj. cp in a carriage, and with him
vr-as a minister, the same who fifty years
before performed the marriage cere
ewt for Burr and the mother of his j
4liag'iiter, the beautiful Theodosla. !
Thera was something of a scene iu the
old hijuse on this day. There were
tears of anger on the part of Burr.
Jlelatives remonstrated: Burr remained
i-nnjorable. All feared a scandal. The
minister, book in hand, stood unob
trusively in the background. There
wte more tears, more declarations of
tn.!y!r,g love, aul the v.idjw Jumel
beeaxaa Mrs. Aaron Burr.
They were married in the great
draTrinjf room of the Jumel mansion.

and left for the enjoyment of his

Th Way Thia Filmy Dust Train If
Tossed About by tho Sun.
No bridal veil waa over so flliuy as a
roniet's tall. Hundreds of cubic tulles
of that wonderful appendage are out
weighed by a Jarful of air.
By means of the spectroscope wo
hnve magically transported this fairy
plume to ar laboratories and have
discovered that It Is akin to the blue
flume of our gas stoves; for the gas
by which we cook and the delicate
tresses of n comet both consist of com
binations of hydrogen and carbon, ap
propriately called by chemists "hydro
carbons." When It first appears In tho heavens,
far removed from the sun, a comet la
n tailless blotch of light.
As a comet swims on toward the
sua the hydrocarbons of the tail split
up under the increasing heat into hy
drogen gas and hydrocarbons of a
.'ilgher boiling point. With a still
closer approach to the sun, there more
resistant hydrocarbons eventually yield
to the increasing heat and are decom
posed in the form of soot.
Interplanetary space is airless; hence
the soot cannot burn. It must pursue
the comet In the form of a dust train.
The particles constituting that train
are small enough to be toyed with by
the pressure of sunlight.
No matter where the comet may be
In Its orbit, whether It has just entered
the solar system or Is speeding away,
that plume Is Inevitably tossed away
from the sun, just as If a mighty wind
were blowing it from the central lu
minary. The appendage of shining duct is the
symbol of the triumph of light over
solar gravitation. Harper's Magazine.

What tha Man of Science Has to Say
About Its Wonder3.
The jolly Jovians are said to be real
ities and not myths. Not only are
there said to be inhabitants on Jupiter,
but also on some of his moons, in the
midst of which the vast planet. 1,300
times the size of the earth, spins at
such tremendous speed that it causes
around the equator a furious wind that
blows perpetually at the rate of 250
miles an hour. Those who believe in
the Jovian say that his height runs
from fifty to fifty-five feet and that
he exists for about 800 to 1,000 of
earth years. The Jupiter year, how
ever, consists of 144 mouths. The !
oceans of Jupiter, torn Into fury by the
hurricanes, would pay no attention to
one moon such as moves the tides of
our earth, and it takes no fewer than
five of these satellites to perform this
work for Jupiter. They travel at va
rious rates of speed, some flying close
to Jupiter's surface, others far off.
They have atmospheres like ours ou
earth, and a moonlight on Jupiter is
indeed a glorious sight, for these
moons have a variety of color; two are
blue, one is yellow, and one red. Jupi
ter needs all her moons at night for
illumination, for without them her five
hours of darknesd would be black in
deed. So distant is the sun that broad
daylight is hardly brighter than twi
light on earth, and one lone moon
would not reflect enough of the sun's
rays to guide the Jovian footsteps.
Submarine Navigation.
Tb idea of the submarine is certain
ly su much as 'MO years old, but most
vt tie earlier plans were flat failures.
Ia 1774 au Inventor named Day lost his
life ilnring au experimental descent In
ZlTzrt'Utli sound. Bushnell of Con-t?..-ta-i;i
in 1775 contrived a subma
rine vessel propelled by some kind
cf screw. Robert Fulton also in 1790
tainted a bos which when filled with
ronly.istiLle.5 might be propelled un
ili r water and made to explode under
thi-. bottom of a ship. It is hard to say
vrfco was he originator of the idea of
Ibe submarine boat unless it was Day.
