ment that the planet was the product Of a live
ly imagination. II grew out of consuming
desire Of the modern wise man TO be first in
telling some new thing. THE Athenians
need not be named in this connection, they
. would have been left entirely in the shade,
even If they spent all their time in this de-
lectable business.)
Our modern philosopher can not wait for
the facts, but insists on giving his statement
even before "coming events cast their shad

less for sciJutific fact than he does for the
chance of telling it first Of all men. This
accomplished, and the world was not made
in vain; this not accomplished, there has
been a waste of raw material in constructing
the universe.
If one may be permitted 10 adhere to what

then there Is no such planet rs Vulcan.
There may be a ring of asteroids.
IL seems TO me that a"change has come
over the spirit of our dreams" since the
early years Of the century. Then scientific
men searched out the facts and their causes
diligently, careless Of whom or how they
might DO published to the world. But
within the last twenty-five years there seems
to be return to the methods of two hundred
years ago the dial-point moving backward

the mint and cummin is not new invention,
nor is the neglect of the weightier matters Of
the law. IL is certainly to be desired that
inordinate selfconceit-to call things by
their names-could be made to take back
seat during the reconstruction period Of
science. There will be abundant time to
name planet after IL is discovered.

Electricity and Uniform Time.

A wealthy citizen of Mauch Chunk has
made novel bequest to that town, OF such
utility that II deserves to be made known
throughout the entire country. He has pro-
yided an electrical attachment by which the
time of the clock In the telegraph office OF
the Lehigh Valley railway is struck on one
of.tne large bells ofthe chime of st. Marks
church, and Is the telegraph clock Is regula
ted at noon daily, It Is very easy for all the
people of Mauch Chunk TO have their time
pieces correct. A time.ball has also been
placed on the church, and 1t drops at pre-
cisely noon. A similar attachment might
advantageously be providedto strike the cor
rect time In every town In the republic
which has telegraph office. Costly Town
clocks cannot be provided In many Of the
smaller villages, but the hours may be struck
on church bells without costly clocks, II the
Mauch Chunk electrical apparatus be en-
ployed.. II will be great convenience 70

why Gould Bought n Yacht.
San Francisco Chronicle.


So much notoriety has been given Jay
Gould's big and speedy yacht that any one
who did not know the millionalre's tastes
would naturally suppose that he has fancy
for yachting and gets his recreation In that
way. But though he has long owned and
used q yacht, and Is about 10 take command
of one that he has ordered made to excel all
others In speed, he uses yachts purely in a
practical business way and INDUCES In no
nautical sentimentality about them. The
poetry of yachting and the romance Of the
sea have no charms for him. He bought
and used his old yacht In order that he might
journey privately, quickly, and comfortably
between his offices in New York and his
summer home At Irvington, on the Hudson,
twenty miles away. he has under.

on The river can pass him. as Z. 8. Jaffray
has been doing nearly every day. Mr.. Jaf
fray is one of the Oldest and most extensive
dry goods dealers on Broadway. He is very
rich and lives at Irvington in quite as good
style as Jay Gould does. His steam yacht
Is the Stranger and she has run across very
few vessels TO which she cannot "show her

start away from home at about the same
time In the morning, and Jsffray either
steams right away from the great millionaire
when they start together or impudently waits

The Original Confederate Constitution.
Ne,o York Tribune.


Almost any day one may see In Union
Square among the actors or In Wall street
among the slaves Of that mart, a small, ell
derby man who carries, carefully wrapped
and strapped, long tin case containing q
parchment which he will display on the
slightest provocation, accompanying Its ex-
hIbition with rambling account of Its na.
ture, origin, and exceeding great importance
and value. He never offers 1t for sale--in
fact, he refuses to part with it--and annoan.
ces his intention to present 1t on his death to
some historical society. He is poor man,
who ekes out his existence with his pen. He
will not part with the parchment for money,
but will display and discuss il over glass
of wine or two hour after hour. On such
occasions he explains that the document Is
the original Constitution of the Confederate
States, with the signatures of those delegates
who originally met at Mllledgevllle, Ca. for
provisional organization. The man was an
aide de camp on the stats of Generals Beau
regard and Lee while they commanded the
rebel army In Virginia.

One Of the duties assigned to Felix Nc
Cluskey was 10 wind up the Office clock and
keep 1t running straight. On the fifth day Of
Felix's service the boss looked up at the
clock, rubbed his eyes, pulled out his watch,
and said:
"Hello, Felix, what's the matter with the
clock? It's nearly two hours out of the way.
Have you been tampering with iE?"
"l've been trying to regulate 1t, sir, but
couldn't make 1t keep step with the clock in

O'clock in the CELLAR" calculated the boss.
"There's no clock In the cellar. What sort

head?"
"Yes there's, sir" respo nded Felix, stout.

three hands; so set this one by it,"
"Come along and show it to me-" said the
merchant.
DOWN they went and away back 10 a re-

Judge who was approached for dissolution
consultation. "Under the law there are but
few grounds for divorce"
81 don't know, judge, that any one has

sir, think I have the best cause In tho
world. My wife IL very sweet tempered
woman and has never given me cross word.
She has always been devoted and true, and
we love each other dearly"
"Then why do You want divorce?"
"Because she's singer"
"a singer?n
ayes, sir, q singer. Every time there's q
festival in the neighborhood, she has to sing.
Why, sir, she'll leave my breccbes with a
patch half sewed on to 60 out somewhere
and sing. When there's q charity concert
anywhere within reach, she has TO go and
sing. She's so given to the habit that when
ask her question she sings to me. She
pours out my coffee by note, and pats her
foot when she passes around the bread.

DR.. HATHAWAY,s PETS.
Dogs which Lived for Years on Human
Flesh.

PHILADELPHIA, june 22.-The terrible
details of the exposure of DIR. Hatbaway's H.
legitimate conduct already reported we're
confirmed to-day by the wife Of the mai
practitioner. She made a full and explicit
statement of her knowledge OF her husbands
nefarious operations. The Chief Of Police
will verify her story, II possible and obtain
other witnesses. Among other things the
woman said she herself had had twins and
they had died IN childbirth. "Were you not
q victim of malpractice" asked the msgis-
trate. The woman hesitated and finally ad-
mitted that she was.
What was done with the bodles?"
"The doctor wanted TO burn them at first,
but couldn't consent, and they were finally
buried in the yard on Rising Sun lane where
We then lived"
When confronted with direct proof Of his
guilt Hathaway denied the stories, but the
woman maintains that they are true. The
dogs which have aided the doctor In dispos-
ing of evidences of his horrible calling are
fat, vicious looking brutes and have lived
for years on human flesh. Although they had
gone for nearly two days without food, when
fresh meat was offered them they turned
away from 1t, thus proving undoubtedly that
they were true man-eaters. The streets sur
rounding the residence OF the malpractition-
er were filed with curiosity-seekers yester.
day and loud threats Of lynching him were
heard.

Queen Victoria Alexandria Guelph, of
Great Britain aud Ireland, aud Empress of
India, is the daughter and only child of Ed
ware, Duke of Kent, fourth son Of George
I'LL, by his wife Victoria Mary Louisa, of
Saxe-Coburg Saaldeld, Germany. She was
born at Kensington Palace, England, May
"a, 1919. Her father died IN 1920, aud her
general education, under her mothers super.
vision, was conducted by the Duchess of
Northumberland, aud until within but few
weeks before she assembled the throne, she
lived IN comparative retirement, diversified
by visits TO various portions of the United
Kingdom. The death of the reighlng king,
William w., occurred in June, 1887, and on
the 2Sth of that month Victoria, by royal
succession, was crowned Queen of Great
Britain aud Ireland at Westminster Abbey.
She Immediately became afagoritr with her
people and has retained their esteem and at
lection up 20 the present moment by her
womanly and queenly character. In 1910,
Victoria was united TO Albert, prince of
SAKE Coburg. Gotha, second sou Of Duke
Ernest, who was born In Germany in 1919,
and was In every way a suitable husband for
the young and popular Queen. He was
man Of peaceful habits and refined taste,
lent, and useful character; and he was
competent and active participation In public
measures which tended TO increase the hap.
piness Of the English people. Nine children
were born to this royal couple. The Duchess
Of Kent, Queen Victoria's mother, died In
March, 1861, and her husband, Prince Al
bert, suddenly expired In the following De-
cember. The whole kingdom was thrown
into grief by the death of the prince consort,
and that event has been the means of Undue
ing continuous habits of seclusion in the
private life Of the Queen, while she has con-
tinued TO exercise her powers and duties as
the sovereign Of mighty nation with great
fidelity to her subjects. Her public history
Is that of Great Britain during the last forty
three years. As wife, a mother, and a
queen, she has experienced only the changes,
the sorrows, and the joys which us1ally fall
10 the lot Of ordinary women, but In all and
through all she has proven herslf an honor
to her sex.
Recent dispatches announce that the
Queens failing health, augmented by the
dangerous symptoms following her late acct
dent, will probably lead her, ere long, to the
abdication of the throne In favor of the
Prince Regent. This change will bring
about very material alterations In the ad
ministration of the present British Govern
ment.
