The Enormous Sun, Arcturus.

If the earth were situated midway be-
tween the sun and Arcturus, it would
receive 5,198 times as much light from
that star as it would from the sun. 1t
is quite probable, moreover, that the
heat of Arcturus exceeds the solar heat
in the same ratio, for the spectroscope
shows that, although Arcturus is sur
rounded with a cloak Of metallic vapors
proportionately far more extensive than
the suns, yet, smothered as the great
star seems in some respects to be, 1t
rivals Sirius itself in the intensity of its
radiant energy.
If we suppose the radiation of Arctu-
rus to be the same per unit OF surface as
the suns, it follows that Arcturus ex-
ceeds the sun about $4,000 times in
volume, and that its diameter is no less
than 62,350,000 miles. Imagine the
earth and the other planets constituting
the solar system removed to Arcturus
and set revolving around it in orbits OF
the same forms and sizes as those In
which they circle about the sun Poor
Mercury For that little planet it would
indeed be a jump from the frying pan
into the fire, because, as it rushed to
perhelion, Mercury would plunge more
than $500, 900 miles beneath the sur
face of the giant star. Venus and the
earth would perhaps melt like snow
flakes at the mouth of furnace. Even
far away Neptune, the remotest member
of the system, would be bathed in torrid

Here's a New Mosquito Remedy.

An enterprising young man, who is
part owner in a boathouse down the
river, claims to have discovered some
thing that will be of inestimable value
to mankind if experience proves its
worth. The inhabitants of this down
the river boathouse We're nearly torn to
pieces by mosquitoes every time they at
tempted to sleep in the house at night,
Screens seemed to be of no avail. and
it looked at one time as if the house
would have to be abandoned. Finally
an old lady who lived in the neighbor-
hood told them that she had not been
troubled by mosquitoes for several
years.
Her remedy was astonishingly simple.
She discarded all screens, and threw the
windows wide open at night. Across
the open space of the window she
stretched a piece of red ribbon about
two inches wide. "a mosquito" said
she, "cannot be induced to pass that
ribbon. Why it is so do not know, but
l know the natives of India take this
means of battling the vicious mosquito.
1t works to perfection here also. The
young man followed instructions, and
now declares that there has not been
mosquito in the boathouse since the rib
bon was stretched across the doors and
windows. Philadelphia Record

The North Pole Moving South.

For the past 40 or 90 years the geog-
raphers and astronomers have suspected
that, ON account of "tilting" in the
earth's axis, the latitude of all places
ON the earth's surface is gradually
changing. A few years ago (lS92) the
astronomers decided to make test
case" of the matter, and now report
that the theory is correct For example,
they have proved that Berlin was OIL

Sent to Roger O'Mare in Such Guam
titles That an Employee Of the
Man Sending it Thought Roger
Ran a Speakeasy - Pittsburg'S
ROttenneSs Coming to the Surface

Pittsburg, Pa, September 25.-When
the investigation of the charges OF brib-
ery. corruption and blacl1mail in the
police department was resumed to-day,
the Central police station was filled
with a motley crowd. Director Brown,
who is conducting the Investigations,
was promptly on hand, as was Attorney
Shields for the prosecution. The star
witness was Clara Porter, keeper Of a
disorderly house. She testified that
since 1892 she had had police protection.
In that year she was arrested, and two
days later gave Inspector McKelvey
5000. Later Director Brown gave her
permission to run her house.
Inspector McKelvey then went to the
stand and denied that he had received
any money from Mrs. Porter.
Detective Robinson was also called
and explained the 500 diamond trans
action reported yesterday. He said
that he had received the money from
Clarke. who. it was alleged, had stolen
the diamond, but that he purchased an
other diamond with the money and
gave it to a Mr.. Mckee, from whom
the gem had been stolen. Mrs. Helen
Whitehouse. the wife of Inspector
Whitehouse. testified that she had re-
ceived So from a speak-easy proprietor,
which money she gave TO her husband.
She said her husband often
TOLD HER HE GOT MONEY
from "speakeasy' proprietors and that
he said he wished he had Inspector Nc
Kelvey's district, because there was
more money in it. Geo. X. Weber, OF
Dubois. Pa, testified that he was a
salesman for Sam Bing and Max Fried
man. liquor dealers, who sold mostly
to keepers of houses of bad repute.
Roger OMara and Inspector McKelvey
passed the place frequently and advised
his EMPLOYERS as to sales to these peo-
pie. His employers sent O'Mara and
McKelvey a great quantity of cham
pagne. so much, in fact" continued
the witness, that l thought Roger
OMara must be running a speakeasy
himself" They were very particular
what brand they got and never paid for
it, They got probably $500 worth while
witness was there. His employer, MIR.
Bing. said this kind of trade was very
costly to keep up, as ''he had to stand
in with the front office people"
This closed the case for the prosecu-
ton and Mr.. Shields said he had shown
that the police department should be
investigated and that he had written
testimony and other witnesses, which
would be produced when this matter
goes before some proper authority
magistrate or the mayor.
Counsel for both sides made short
addresses. and Director Brown said that
owing to the illness of his wife he would
do nothing further until Monday.
