REFERRING to the fact that photo
graphs Of the moon, taken at full, give
that body an egg-shaped appearance,
with the small end pointing towards
the earth, a recent writer argues that
this goes to prove that planets nom
globular shape. According to this
writer's reasoning, matter at the sur
face OF the moon is acted upon by two
important forces the law OF gravity
would arrange the matter in a globe
around the center, the moon alone
considered, and the;attraction OF the
earth, being always exerted in the
! same direction relative to the moons
center would constantly draw allfuid
pr plastic matter to the side next the
earth.

MILLIONS FOR A PAUPER.


Heir to an English Estate.
BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 19.-Mrs. Ann NJ.
Dodge, an inmate OF the poor house OF this
city and eighty years of age, received news
yesterday that she is the sole heir to an es-
tate worth S.. 600. 600 in England.
The story dates back two centuries. at
which time her great grandfather on her
mothers side owned a vast estate near Lon
don. His eldest son removed TO America,
settling and marrying in Virginia. Two
children, William and Annie, were born CT
the marriage, the latter the mother of Mrs
Dodge. The son and his vile died and the
two children moved to kentucky. Both
married, the son dying without ISSUE and
the daughter, Ann. marrying William
Coleman. Both died forty years ago, leav-
ing Mrs. Dodge and a sister. They
moved to Missouri, where Mrs. Dodge's
husband died twenty years ago. Five years
ago an article appeared in an English pa
per telling Of the estate and The lost heirs
and the TACT that the estate was in the hands
OF public administrator. Mrs. Dodge be-
came convinced that it was her family his
tory related.
She laid the case be ore a relative named
Ross. recently OF Minneapolis and he went
to London to investigate the matter. lie
returned an encouraging letter, but since
then nothing was heard from him and it is
not known here he is. Then she placed
the matter in the hands of her nephew,
William 4. Coleman wealthy canning
manu- acturer Of San Francisco Mean

ter, Mrs. Charles Ragsdale. She was taken
sick, and, accommodations not being good

the poorhouse. She has now received lei
tiers confirming her right to the estate, and
has forwarded letters. documents, family
Bible, cts. to prove her claim.

BALFOUJR is LEADER
The Irish Chief secretary Succeeds the
Late Mr.. Smith as the Tory Gen
eralissimO.
He Becomes First Lord of the Treas
ury, but Will Retain His Secre-
taryship for the Present.

LONDON, OcC. 1S.-1L IS OInclally an
nounced to-day that Right Hon. Arthur J.
Baltour, member of parliament for East
Manchester and chief secretary for Ireland,
has been appointed first lord Of the treas
ury. 1t is reported that Mr.. Balfour will
retain his position as the chief secretary for
Ireland.
The Chronicle thinks that the marquis Of
Salisbury would have preferred another
parliamentary leader to Mr.. Baltour, but
he was obliged to accede to the wishes of
his party unless the marquis of Harrington
bad consented to convert the coalition into
permanent union. Mr.. Bal(onr is not at
all likely, the Chronicle thinks, to be as
docile to the ruling of the triumvirate-
Salisbury, Harrington and Cham berlain-
as Mr.. Smith was. The appointment may
be regarded as gamblers throw-a hope
that the new leader will have beneficial
effect upon the coming election.
Right Hon. c. T. Richie is spoken of as
Mr.. Balfour's successor as chief secretary.
Mr.. Richie is the president Of the local
government board, an Office with salary
Of $4,000 year, whereas the chief secre-
tary for Ireland receives f4, 425. Mr.. Rit-
chic has never been noted for executive
ability, although q mar of considerable
original force, and of long parliamentary
experience. It is remembered, however,
that Mr.. Baltour himself sat in parliament
for years and held government Office with
out displaying any special ability, until
his appointment as Irish chief secretary
brought out his peculiar capacity for what
the irish call Balfourism.
Mr.. Ritchic is also Scotchman, being a
native of Dundee, where he was born in
1888. He has been for many years q resi-
dent Of London. He is at present the
more probable selection of those mentioned
Tor the Irish chief secretaryship.
w. L. Jackson, who has also been named.
IS financial secretary of the treasury and
has held more office in a thoroughly bust
nesslike way. 1t is not thought probable
that Lord Salisbury will dispense with him
in the treasury, especially as lie represents
the rather doubtful constituency of North
Leeds.
Sir John Eldon Gorst has also been
named for the Irish Office. In ability he is
undoubtedly superior to either Jackson or
Richie: and he has had the East Indian
experience which in the choice of magis-
trates for Ireland the Salisbury government
has considered a qualification.
The Times says: "Only the dullest ma-
mot earned his PROMOTION. 1t is absurd to
bury had no more power to lift his
nephew unless the party desired it than Mr..
Gladstone could make either of his sons
