Some Facts About That Colossal
Fiery Globe.
AN IDEA OF ITS GREAT SIZE.

THE SWORDFISH.
MAGIC GLASS.
Overlord of th* Sea and tha Daintiest
Feeder That Swims.
The swordfish is the overlord of the
tea. Neither the whale, the shark nor
any other giant of the deep can con­
quer him in private fight or public
brawl. Nevertheless he Is peaceful In
the main and seeks the simple life,
amusing himself often with worldwide
travel and always with delicate gusta­
tory joys. He is the daintiest feeder
that swims, always kills his own game
and thereby Insures its freshness,
wherefore bls flesh Is a delight to the
palate of mankind and wherefore,
again, men go forth to kill him for
market and thereby at times fall upon
adventures that make the bunting of
tigers and the shooting of grizzlies pale
Into pastimes for the weary weakling.
For the bold swordfish Is still hunted
In mode ns primitive as that the Eski­
mo uses to kill the stupid whale, and
jften the sting of the harpoon changes
this luxurious ocean gastronome into
a raging water devil, quick to perceive
bls advantage, charging with the speed
of a bullet and the accuracy of a
swordsman up against the lone fisher­
man in the dory who tries to bring
hlni to gaff. Then must the fisherman
measure with exactness the lunge of
the monster, avoid It by a marvel of

A Curious Mirror That May Bs Mads
Transparent.
One of the most curious inventions
of this age is what is called platinized
glass. A piece of glass is coated with
an exceedingly thin layer of a IfqulJ
charged with platinum upd then raised
to a red beat. The platinum becomes
united to the glass in su< b a way as
to form an odd kind of mirror.
The glass has not really lost Its
transparency, and yet if one places It
against a wall and looks at It he sees
bls image ns in ati ordinary looking
glass. But when llgit Is allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side, ns when It is placed in a window.
It appears perfectly transparent, like
ordinary glass.
By constructing a window of plati
nlzed glass one could stand < lose be
hind the panes in an unlllumlnated
room and behold clearly everything
going on cutside, while passersby look­
ing nt the window would behold only
a fine mirror cr set of mirrors In whl b
their own figures would be reflected,
while the person lusl.le remained In­
visible.
In France various tri. its have been
contrived with the all of this glass

Astronomy does not always consist
of night studies. There are some things
to ba seen after darkness is gone, both
with glass and unassisted eye. The
dear old moon often gives us a good
daylight view of herself, looking as if
haggard, sleepy and disgusted after be­
ing out overnight. The star Venus has
often been seen In the afternoon. Some
comets are on record as having ap­
proached so near the earth that the
same could be said of them for weeks
at a time.
But of course the great day attrac­
tion is the ruler of our own family of
brother and sister planets, the sun.
Although “medium sized" as com­
pared to many of the fixed stars, our
sun Is no lightweight, being about
1,300.000 times as large as the earth. If
