seventy years old and his son thirty-seycn.
The old man was found Friday morning
in an unconscious condition in q stable.
His skull was fractured and il was at first
supposed that he had been kicked by the
COW. A closer examination, however, de-
voloped that the fracture had been caused
10y some sharp instrument. The old man
never regaincd consciousness The sus-
picions were 40 strong against the son,

Great damage was done 20 surrounding

zine bc,on ed 10 the Torpedo Company: of
Delaware. The explosion was felt thirty
five miles away. Houses and windows
were shattered in the immediate vicinity.
At Scwicklcy, five miles distant, the shock

a special from Shannopin SAYS the cause

had two severe electric storms this season,
and both have scattered death and de-
struction in their trail In the neighborhood
OF two cities, Ottawa and Montreal. This
IS why we read of disastrous cyclones
destroying towns and villages in Ohio and
other western states where thunder clouds
are suddenly being formed in the great
northern current of the Mississippi valley.
Take away the wire fences" said the pro-
lessor, waving his hand solemnly, land
cyclones, as we'll as droughts, will cease,
and let the Canadian government permit
wire fencing to be built in the northwest
territories, and they may cease to expect
that vast agricultural country to become
the granary of civilization, as 1T will be-
come the home of drought and cyclone"
As Canadian, would you have any
Objection to state your views as to the prob
able effect of the retaliation measuresV
mot at all, said the professor, promptly.
II have always been an admirer, in
fact, an ardent admirer, of President Cleve
land, both as statesman and as gentle
man, and I must confess that the message
came as disagreeable blow to me. Mr..
Cleveland has disappointed me, and am
sorry to say so publicly. You are aware
that the United States obtained the greater
part of Maine through the fraudulent Ash
burton treaty, but their possession under
tnat treaty Is respected Dy tne common COLI
sent of nations. Now the treaty of
1918 is as sacred to us and is
as inviolable as that of Ashburton,
and yet the United States practi-
cally refuses to abide by it, They want our
fish for nothing. We have given them
years fishing gratis, and they like that sort
of thing so well that they want it forever.
You can depend upon it, however, that the
thoughtful and solid people Of the United
States, who are the bone and sinew OF the
question, will act entirely regardless of the
politicians, and will say with no uncertain
sound that if their men choose to steal our
fish the Canadians have perfect right to
punish them"
do you think that there is any proba-
bility of anneXation|
"There certainly was" he replied, until
this event took place, a strong feeling in
this country, vastly stronger and more
general than most persons supposed, in
favor of annexation, but President Cleve-
lands retaiatory message will do more to
extinguish it than could possibly be done
by the press or by any political party or
other agent in this country"
A few moments later the professor arose,
resumed his gloves, and l went out in the
rain to the tune of la File de Madame
Angot" from the plump maid who opened
the door. BLAKELY HALL.

Touching Humpback for Luck.
From the Phfladelphta Times.


About the beginning of the summer
somebody published the statement that if
one wished to have good luck in the daily
transactions of life all that was necessary
was to watch the first humpbacked man or
woman who CHANGED to pass down the street
and touch him or her quietly upon the
hump. At first this idea was confined to
the theatrical profession, the members of
which are VIGOROUSLY superstitlous. Lately,
however, the craze has spread. Women, as
we'll as men, have taken up the idea, and
the life Of a conservative humpback in
Philadelphia is far from desirable. Men
vie with each other to touch him for good
luck" Pretty girls will cross the street,
should he be on the other side, and with the
most insinuatinq smile brush past him and
place their hands for an instant upon the
back of his coat Should he seek the seclu-
sion of the smaller streets, it is only to be
handled more roughly, for the humber the
jewellers are the more it seems are they i'm
bued with the idea of the uck-bringing
qualities of the humpbacked man.

THE NUMBER OF THE STARS.
About Six Thousand May be Seen by
the Naked Eye.
From the Century.


The total number of stars one can see will
depend very largely upon the clearness OF
the atmosphere and the keenness of the eye.
There are in the whole celestial sphere
about 5000 stars visible to an ordinarily
good eye OF these, however, we can never
see more than fraction at any one time,
because half Of the sphere is always
below the horison. II we could see
a star in the horizon as easily as in the
zenith half of the whole number, or 5000,
would be visible on any clear night. Bup
stars near the horizon are seen through so
great thickness of atmosphere as greatly
to obscure their light, and only the bright
est ones can there be seen. AS result or
this obscuration 1t is not likely that more
than 1000 stars can ever be taken in at q
single view by any ordinary eye. ABOUT
1000 other stars are so near the south pole
that they never rise in our ATTITUDES
Hence, out of 5000 supposed to be visible,
only 1000 ever come within the range or
our vision, unless we make journey TO-
ward the equator.
As telescope power is increased we still
find stars Of fainter and fainter light. But
the number cannot go on increasing forever
in the same ratio as with the brighter mag
nitudes, because If it did the whole sky
would be blaze of starlight. IL telescopes
with powers far excee Ting our present ones
were made they would no doubt show new
stars of the twentieth, twenty-first, ETC.,
magnitudes. But it is highly probable that
the number of such successive orders OF
stars would not increase in the same ratio
as is observed in the eighth, ninth and tenth
magnitudes, for example.
The enormous labor of estimating the
number of stars of such classes will long
prevent the accumulation of statistics on
this question; but this much is certain, that
in special regions of the sky, which have
been searchingly examined by various tele-
scopes of SUCCESSFULLY increasing apertures,
the number of new stars found IS by no
means in proportion to toe increased instru
mental power. If this is found to be true
elsewhere, the conclusion may be that, after
ALL the stellar system can be experiment
ally shown to be of finite extent, and to
contain only finite number of stars.
In the whole sky an eye of average power
will see about 5000 stars, as | have just
said With telescope this number is
greatly increased and the most powerful
telescopes Of modern times will show more
than 60,000,000 stars OF this number not
one out of 100 has ever been catalogued at
all. In all, 3l4, 1926 stars, from the
first to the ninth and one-half magnitudes,
are contained in the northern sky, or about
900, 900 in both hemispheres. All of these
can be seen with a three-inch object glass.
