Students of ethnography Will be in
terested to hear that DR.. N. B. Emer-
son of Honolulu is preparing a full
account of the Polynesian canoe. In
communication he points out that
the various migrations of the ancient
Polynesians and their progenitors,
from whatever source derived, must
have been accomplished in canoes or
other craft, and that the waa, the pahi,
etc, of today, however modified they
may be under the operation of modern
arts and appliances, are the lineal de-
scendants Of the seagoing craft in
which the early ancestors of the
Polynesians made their voyages gen
erations ago. He holds, therefore,
that a comparative study of the ca
noes cannot fail to shed light on the
problems Of Polynesian migrations
and relationships. London Nature.

Something About the Stars.

MWhen the telescope was turned to
The fixed stars, it was found that
many of the larger stars had com
panions The groups We're classified
as double stars and were carefully
studied.
Double stars may be accounted for
in two ways. Either they are optic
ally double, one star being so nearly
behind the other that the two stars
seen in the telescope produce, as is
ofttimes the case, the effect of dou-
BILE star, or the stars are close togeth-
er and physically connected.
Sir William Herschel investigated
the subject for many years and
found tangible proof of the mutually
circling motion of many of the dou-
BILE stars or binary systems He an
nounced in 1902 that they are phys
ically related to each other, revolving
round common center of gravity,
and proving that the law of attrac-
tions hold sway in these remote orbs.
Observers have since pursued the
study with marvellous results. More
than 10000 double stars have been
catalogued.-Youth's Companion.

Origin of the Aztecs.

An old tradition says the Aztecs
were one Of seven powerful tribes
that emerged from seven caverns in
a region called Aztlan, or place of
the heron They wandered away
from their fellows after a great con-
fusion of tongues and settled in the
region they are known to have in
habited. This tradition may be part
ly fabulous, but it is sure that the
Aztecs settled the country before the
eleventh OF twelfth century.
All the tribes lived in peace for a
considerable time until the strong
began to encroach upon the territory
of the weaker. Then a fierce war for
supremacy over the whole territory
ensued and lasted many years. Under
the leadership of their military chiefs
the Aztecs obtained control of the
whole territory and established a
very enlightened form of govern
ment. This was contaminated in 1924
or 1925. 1t is likely that the fortress
was built during this period of war.

Altogether Too Much Ham,

IF there is one thing on earth
that l can't eat it's ham," said
Charles A. Morton of Pittsburg at
the Laclede yesterday, and l used
to be a great lover of it too. I'll tell
you how l came to take such dis
like to it. 1t was during the Johns
town flood excitement. l was in the
newspaper business at the time, and
with the other boys l was sent up
there. For the first couple of days,
when there was nothing to eat, it
was pretty tough, and we all swore
to eat everything we could lay our
hands on if we ever came within the
sight of food again.
well, the first day the relief train
got up there it was laden with ham
sandwiches, and the way we put
them out of sight was . caution.
You'd see man coming away from
the train with a sandwich in each
hand and another in his pocket.
The next day it was the same way
''On the third day the ham sand
wiches began to pail little, and on
the fourth they had become abso-
lutely tiresome. We had had more
of it than we could stand. Still we
must eat, and there was nothing else
to eat, and we had to stuff the ham
into us. 1t got so that it was an
awful dose, and many of us went
without ham sandwiches until we
got so hungry that we were com
PEELED to eat. When we got away
from Johnstown and got to where
we could get something, we thanked
God sincerely Since that time l
have never been able to compel my
self to eat a ham sandwich. st.
