Nonsense about Tomatoes.

An idea has gained currency dur

mato as an article of diet is liable to
produce or encourage the terrible
disease OF cancer, and not long ago il
was also stated that the use of this
vegetable had been forbidden at the
Cancer Hospital So widely spread
has this notion become that DR..
Marsden, chairman Of the medical
committee of the Cancer HOSPITAL

give ii Official contradiction. He
says that his committee has been in

contrary, are a very wholesome ar

Shafts Made Hollow,

A point not generally known in
connection with the machinery of
modern steamships is that all the
shafting is hollow. After the shafts
have been gOrged solid. a core, some
times six or eight inches in diameter.
is bored out from the center, leaving
a safe amount of metal in annular
form for the work required. The
reason for this is that hollow shaft
is stronger as well lighter than
solid one, and also that the core of a
solid shaft often embodies impurities
and incipient cracks which NAV radi-
ate to the surface after long use and
cause disaster. The same idea of
following out is carried through the
entire system, even the crank pins
being bored. So extensive is it that

In Paris in the thirteenth centurr
some trades had special street. anC

statutes were made which now reaC
curiously. Some of them read thus

window of his own accord. The fine
for this offence is five sous"

IF a person is buying goods of a
merchant, his neighbor must not
come out of his shop to show his

because each store had a large win
dow with blinds that opened hori-
zontally, the lower one letting down

LEGISLATURES, as is well known,
are great foes to corporations, and
especially to the railroads, which
have a bad habit of insulting mem
bers by sending them passes. 1t oc-
casionally happens, however, that
the railroads get something through
which benefits them and bears heav-
lily on the public. This was the case
few days since in New York, where
the Legislature passed a law outlaw
ing all claims for damages against
railroad companies unless suit is
brought within two years. Watchful
as Legislatures are to punish the rail
roads, this bill slipped through and
the Governor had to veto it.

The Sun and the Stars.

The sun is star, and the stars are
suns. This fact has been familiar
one to astronomers for many years.
That the stars shine by their own in
herent light and not by light reflect
ed from another body, like the planets
of the solar system, may be easily
proved.
That many Of them at least are
very similar to our own sun is clearly
shown by several considerations.
Three facts prove this conclusively.
First, their great intrinsic brilliancv,
compared with their small apparent
diameter, diameter so small that
the highest powers of the largest
telescope fail to show them as any,
thing but mere points of light with
out measurable magnitude. Second,
their vast distance from the earth. a
distance so great that the diameter
of the earth's orbit dwindles almost
to a point in comparison. This &C
counts satisfactorily for the first
fact. Third, the spectroscope- that
unerring instrument of modern re.
search-shows that the light emitted
by many of them is very similar to
that radiated by the sun.
Their chemical and physical con-
stitutiOn is, therefore, probably an
alogous to our central luminary. The
red stars certainly show spectra diff
fering considerably from the solar
spectrum, but these objects are COM
paratively rare, and may, perhaps, be
as forming exceptions to
the general rule.

Not Looking for a Ladle.

Mr.. l., an old New worker, had
a large ranch near Los Angeles. He
was fond of good company and good
dinner, and frequently entertained
house-parties at the comfortable old
fashioned Mexican hacienda. Among
others who made stay with one of
the New York parties was Miss
M. Although woman of "un-
certain age" she retained much
charm of manner, and her quick wit
was respected by everyone who had
come in contact with it. Mr.. L

fondness for good things to eat and
good wines to cheer the bachelor.
The party was at dinner at the
ranch one day. The host, the bache-
Ter, sat at one end of the table and
Miss NJ was on his left. He had
been chatting with her for some time
when she asked for a spoon. Mr..
L. arose at this and, bowling in
his most suave and polite way, said:

THERE is food for thought in the
mortality statistics of the four or
i've great cities for the year 1892.
The death rate per 1000 of popula-
tion was in New York, 1926; Brook
Ign, 27.O7; Boston, &c. 81; Philadel-
phia, 24.64; and Chicago, 1923. Chi
cago had not always this honorable
place, but within the last two years
that city has constructed a new sys-
tenn of sewers, adopted better
method of street cleaning, and pro-
cured an abundant supply of pure
water, and the direct result has been
a great reduction of mortality, plac-
ing Chicago, in point of healthful-
ness, at the head of the list.
