Tim maxim "murder will out" is dis

Senator Dunois, of Idaho, who has
been conspicuous in tho public eye for
some weeks, is a Yale graduate of tho
class of lb72. Though he is a bachelor of

Uoston public spirit seems at length
to be aroused, after tho expiration of

Tiik little plant which is said by sci
entists to cause blindness belongs to tho
lowest order of fungi. Tho propaga
tion simply by division is very rapid
nnd its growth in tho tissues covering
tho eyeball causes such irritation and
congestion as to cut off the supply of
nutriment to the clearer part of the eye,
bo that tho local death of the part, with
consequent destruction of power of
vision, follows often in a few days, or
even hours.
The photograph, which finds its way

nround the room below tho dado a long
single oak frame in which tho photos

The picturesque old mansion that
was tho homo of several generations of
tho Lees, of Virginia, is still standing
in an excellent statu of preservation
near Fairfax Courthouse. It is known
as Ravensworth, and, with its fine
grounds and its historic treasures in
tho way of relics, it is, next to Mount
Vernon, probably tho most interesting
old house in the Old Dominion. Early
in tho eighteenth century tho estato
was tho homo of the Fltzhughs, from
whom tho Lee family inherited it by in
termarriage. The Iiruco photographic telcscopo,
which is tho gift of Mrs. C. W. Iiruco
to Harvard university observatory, is
at length ready to be set up In Cam
bridge, Mass., and is expected soon to
begin its work of photographing tho
stars. It is tho largest instrument of
its kind in existence, and is believed to
"bo tho most powerful, and it is confi
dently anticipated that it will do hot
ter work than has yet been accom
plished elsewhere in tho world's histo
ry. It is to bo shipped to Peru in two
or three years, after it has been thor
oughly tested. It is there to be set up
on a hill near Arequipo.
