I VIEW OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS ! One of the Mint l'icture*qaa Object* in the Southern Skle*. A halo of romance ha:* woven itself :tholtt ti e stars of the Southern Cross, 1 or.e of the most picturesque objects in j the -outhrrn skies. At one time rtvese stars formed part of the constellation named the Centaur, which was once included under that called Argo, the | Great Ship, but toward the end of the eight' nth century the Southern Cross < became a constellation on its own acI count. Nevertheless its resemblance to a cross must have been unserved long j before this time, since an Arabian ! globe nas been found on' which an outline of a cross is marked about this group of stars. The longer bar of the \ cross points nearly to the south pole, I the situation of which in the heavens is not marked by nuy brilliant star, but which is abcr? fo.r and a half i cross lengths from the foot of the i cross. For this reason Alpha and j Gamma are sometimes called the , 'Pointers." In fact, the Southern , Cress may he looked upon as the hour hand of a great clock, which goes around once in twenty-four hours, 1 moving in the same direction as the hands of a clock, unlike our Great Bear or Dipper in the northern heavens, which appear to go around the northern pole in a direction contrary to the hands of a clock. This is because the , observer's face, when looking at the ' nortnern poie. is turneu in a mrmiuu ! j contrary to the faro of an observer i in the southern hemisphere turned to: ward the southern pole. Near the Southern Cross 1s an almost vacant patch of sky, which is named the "Coal Sack" by early navigators. In ' the Coal Sack only one very small star ' can he sc'Oi with the unaided eye. but j the telescope reveals many stars in that seemingly deserted region, proving that the striking blackness is due simply to the effect of contrast with the brilliant ground surrounding it on all sides. On the northern e'dgo of the Coal Sack is a star of ruddy hue. known as Kappa, but too small to be seen with the unaided eye. Even a I small teleseoDC fails to make one real lze the splendor of this star, but when Sir John Herschel turned his ttventy1 foot reflector in its direction he was i surprised tp find Kappa the center of a cluster of over 100 stars of all the ' colors of the rainbow, contrasting i wonderfully with one another.. He I compared it to a superb piece of fancy jewelry, while Flammarion describes it as a "casket of glittering gems."?St. Nicholas. The Cunning of Pack Mules, "A prick iniilo that has seen service gets very cunning." said the ex-soldier. "I remember we had one fellow who had been in the army for twelve or ' fifteen venrs. and he knew as much as j most of the nipu. lie was occasionally ' used as leader, and was very fond of the job. because in that case he had no load to cony. To see him manoeuvring to tret to the front was very comical, j The regulation pack weigs lith) pounds. ; and the mules soon learn to size it up ' to a nicety, refusing to carry anything j note. For that reason they are blind; folded while being loaded, otherwise i ihey would be eoutinunlly looking ( around to see whether the pack was in| side the limit. 'On one oeeasion we received a eotlin to be sent to Sihoney and the old mule ' 1 referred to was selected to carry it. The eoftin weighed only tweuty-tive | pounds, but the untie must have conJ eluded from its size that it weighed a | ton. and lie immediately began to j groan in the most pitiful manner, exactly like a human being. When tlie ; eoftin was put on his back lie pretend| ed to stagger and sagged down as if lie was carrying a ten-inch gun. At j the same time he turned his head and j looked at me with a mournful exj presssion that was as easily rend as so much print. We were all shrieking with laughter and tried to make him take liis place in line, but not an inch would helte budge. Finally, he deliberately rolled over :iml knocked the coffin off. That settled it. We let the old rascal take the hell, and I could almost hear hi::) eltucklin.tr as it was looped around his neck. Another mule was then blindfolded and took on the coffin without trouble."?New Orleans TimesDoiuocrat.
