AN event of great interest to astrono-

rings, will take place in this year. On
September 90 the plane of the rings
will pass through the earth. At that
time the observer on the earth will
look at them edgewise, and in pow
erful telescopes they will appear as q
straight line Of light. Between Sept.
~ and Oct. 80 they will almost
entirely disappear, inasmuch as the
sun and the earth will be on oppo-

After Oct. 80 they will reappear, the
sun again shining on the same side pre-
sented to the earth.

Miss MoI.LIE TALMAGE, niece of
DIR. Talmage, was born in China and
lived there some time as a missionary.
She could speak Chinese before she
learned English. She says the Chinese
language is very difficult to master,
because SO much depends on the tone
or pitch in which the same word is
spoken. For instance, the word Gee"
has eight different meanings as it is
pronounced. The word ''Ku-je" means
''precions," and it also means devil. -
One American who was studying the
language referred to his wife as his
''Ku-je," and as he did not get the
pitch right he called her a devil.
