he serves.
Let me recapitulate." said Professor
Branner, in concluding his address. ''some
of the benefits to be derived from voluntary
and cordial cooperation between all geol-
ogists and all geologic organizations in this
country:
."First-Geologic research being under
the nominal direction of the leading inves--
tigators, would be so conducted as to be of
the greatest utility to the largest number.
Second-When piece of work was done
by one IL would be done for all, and dupli-
cation by State surveys and by individuals.
ana the consequent waste OF energy, time
and money would cease.
Ihlrd-The functions and fields of Off
cial organizations being better defined,
State and national surveys and individuals
could so direct their efforts as TO serve the
purposes of others without neglecting their
own Immediate aims and without infring-
ing upon each others grounds.
"Fourth-National and State surveys
would be strengthened. and local organiZa-
tions and individual effort encouraged.
"Fifth-It would give US better geologic
literature, better instruction, better geol-
ogists aud more thorough specialists.
"Sixth--And finally, We trnst. it would
put stop to those oracles of science whc
are so ready to prophesy in its name. This
ideal state of affairs may never be brought
about. but it is none the less desirable that
we should aim at il. For the more nearly
we approximate to it the more rapid will be
the progress of science, and the progress of
science is the progress of civilization"

Prof Chandler on "yariable stars"

Vice-president Prof. s. c. Chandler, of
Cambridge. Mass, talked to Section A,
Mathematics aud Astronomy, on variable
Stars" He states that to Bouilland is
due the credit of having first distinctly
recognized in the case of Mira Ceti that
tho light variations follow a moderately
regular course; that the star gradually de-
clines from its greatest brilliancy, remains
invisible to the eye for several months,
then reappears and gradually RECEIVERS its
original brightness. He detects that the
period is not exactly uniform. and that the
same. To Kirch and Hevelius we owe al.
most all the information of their time that
we now possess, nor were any new variable
stars detected after those in Cetus Hydra
and Cyprus for about one hundred years. A
markable kind of light fluctuation, that of
Algol: came within reach of both Montanari
and Maraldi. but slipped from their grasp
on account of lack of persistence in follow
ing the clew given by their observations.
The prize lost by their Inattention fell
nearly century later to an English anna
teur of astronomy. John GOodriche, who,
with his friend, Edward Pigott, subse-
quently detected five other variables.
The numerical distribution of the
variables," continued the Professor. with
ing single cycle OF their changes, common
ly called the period, range from the
wonderfully short period of less than eight
hours in the case of the remarkable vari-
able recently found by Paul, to about two
years at the other extreme. Between these
limits there is highly significant devia-
tion from uniformity of distribution. which
was first pointed out by Schonfeld. From
the seventy -one stars then at his command
this Systematic relation appeared rather
obscurely, but afterwards with increasing
emphasis as the data waxed in volume, un-
til 1T can no longer be deemed fOrtuitOus or
due to any circumstance of the method of
discovery of the variables, but as having q
real connection in the nature of things.
Besides the distinctly periodical stars we
have q considerable number in which there
is absent any discernible law OF regularity.
and an intermediate group in which it ap-
pears in q very weak degree. One or two
there are which remain steady during long
intervals of time. then begin, without
warning. series of astonishing and ap
parently lawless changes, and become
again Quiescent."
In concluding his address the Professor
said that the origin of phenomena is the
ultimate aim of all inquiry into the natural
and physical sciences. and that he envied
no man whose mental vision is SO limited
by the horizon of facts that he can despise
indulgence in the delight of speculating
upon their outcome.

The recent death in Canada OF Mrs,
Sterling. mother of Charles NJ. Sterling,
who wss executed at Youngstown, o.
for the murder Of Lizzie Grom bacher,
has unveiled the facts concerning an in
cident that occurred shortly before his
execution. His mother came from Mar
well, Can. and though he had left home
when but a lad with maternal intuitio
abe recognized him. When brought to
his cell Sterling without the culver Of q
muscle said:
you are mistaken, madam: l am not
your SON.
She implored him to recognize her, but
he refused, and she returned homo half
convinced that she was mistaken. TIC
his counsel Sterling said;
"She Is my mother, but l could not
break her heart by telling her that her
son would be hung. Keepit secret until
abe dies"
Her death caused his attorney, w. 8
Anderson, to break the seal Of silence

YER Of century, but mono that compared

mother, every line in her face showing
the most intense suffering, and her heart
nearly broken, while the son. knowing
that tho truth would kill her. stood like

death, assuring her that she was mis-
taken. Such intensity Of action was

The treatment Of boils should be, in
the first place, constitutional, aiming to
restore tho viSor Of the system. Tha
diet should be generous, without excess,
and easily digestble. The patient, whila
avoiding exhaustion, should take proper
amount Of exercise, have an abundance
of pure air and wash his body daily with
cool water and soap.
Local treatment also is needed. Tc
arrest the progress Of boil at its early
stage Sir Erasmus Wilson advises thu
application of a solution Of sugar Of lead
every six or twelve hours with camel's
hair brush. If this fails he would pro.
mote suppuration by spreading on it q
wash leather plaster of galbanum and
opium, cut in the middle for the escape
of the pus.
If the pain continues to increase he
would apply soothing applications. When
the boil begins to heal he would keep thu
skin around it dry, cleaa it with "a,
soap and smear it with yellow rosin oint-
ment, dressing the broken surface with
lint spread with the same ointment
keeping the dressing in position with
strips Of adhesive plaster or by . light
bandage. Youths Companion.

THE CAREER OF A NOTORIOUS CROOK

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pisPATcH.l
ALLENTOWN, Dec. 9.-For some time the
pastors of the Lutheran congregations in
this section of the State, whose churches are
known as Union" churches, have been
planning for separation from the old-time
union of Lutheran and Reformed congrega-
tions. The entering wedge to bring about
the separation is in the Sunds- schools,
which have in nearly every case been un-
denominational. The pastor of any So
called Christian church was at liberty to
speak in a union school.
Some time ago the Second Conference Of
the Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania
decided that Sunday schools attended by
LutheTans should be Lutheran to all intents
and purposes, and not be of mixed character.
Wherever it is thought possible to draw the
lines separation of the Lutheran from the
mixed will be insisted upon.
Freemasonburg is one of the main towns in
which separate congregational schools have
been decided upon. An election will be held
on the question in a few days, and it is almost
certain that separation will be decided upon.
After this has been done in the larger towns at
tention will be turned to the country towns and
churches in order to effect final separation of
churches which have worshiped together in the
same church for over century.
