BONA.FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is bona flee one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation -enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstalds, which are re-
turnable. and which are in fact re-
turned. but nevertheless. are lin
cluded in what purports. to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results. and bogus circula-
tions don't give them. .r,

many thousands in excess of any
other Washington paper and Is be-
lieved to be fully five times that of

Fasting In Seryia.

The people Of Servia are forever fasting.
The most severe fast is that of Lent, which
lasts seven whole weeks. Then, on the
Both Of June, is tho fast of St. Peter,
which lasts two weeks and is observed by
some persons for four weeks. From the
list to the 18th of August is the fast of St.
Mary, and Christmas is preceded by a 40
days fast. Apart from these lengthy fasts
all Fridays and Wednesdays throughout
the year are held to be fast days. Fast
ing in Servia is no mere change of diet. 1t
means real abstinence and privation. AT
Prot this fasting has assumed such seri-
Gus proportions as to constitute a grave
medical problem and a national danger,
for it affects seriously the health of tho
population, the strength and fighting
capabilities of the soldiers. The medical
men reckoned that, on the whole half the
days in the year were fast days. This
means that for some six months in the
year the population of Prot and neighbor-
hood is only fed on bread, raw onions and
raw vegetables. No cooking is done. Not
morsel of meat is allowed.

Telephoning to the Moon.

Both Edison in America and Preece in
England have long maintained that 1t is
possible to establish on the earth a record
of the electrical disturbances that take
place on the sun. An electrician now
holds that it is easily feasible to telephone
to the moon. He bases his belief in the
possibility of this communication on the
well known laws of ether vibration. The
ocean Of ether quivers to every touch. 1t
binds the planets together with an iron
hand, flexible yet firm, solid yet infinitely
elastic. 1t is the ideal medium for the
transmission of signals. When it moves,
even to an extent inconceivably small, our
sight is affected; we see. These ether
waves are eight minutes coming to us from
the sun, travelling at the enormous velocity
Of 1872, 900 miles a second. 1t is possible
to produce waves moving at this terrific
speed by electrical means, as, for instance,
in the telephone, which Is actuated by In
fnitely small pulsations.
When an iron mass is in the vicinity Of
these electrical vibrations, buzz or hum
is given out. This noise may be distinctly
heard in some systems of street lighting
apparatus, where the current is trans
formed from high to a low pressure. In
accordance with this principle it is pro
posed to send electrical pulsations far out
into the ether and have them act upon any
metallic mass like iron with sufficient
force to produce sound. If the moon CON
tains iron, and there is reason to believe
that it does, the striking upon it of these
marvellous vibrations would give rise to q
murmur of sound. 1t is suggested that
this daring experiment could be carried
out by means of a gigantic coil mounted
vertically with it's axis in line with the
moon.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

ing out the lights. So, just about the
time the talk concerning Polly and the
three men was sinking to mere whis-
per of dying scandal. the Peters broth
ers rode into Broomfeld, shot the town
cow, wounded the prowling hog and
shattered lamp in the meeting house.
This was the greatest outrage that had
ever been put upon that part of the
country, and old man Aimes, with his
shirt unbuttoned, pulled up and down
the street and swore that If anyone
would go with him he would ride after
the scoundrels. But everybody was
busy. The sheriff was behind with his
tax list, the constable wasn't feeling
we'll; and while the citizens were dis
cussing their inability to avenge them
selves, Polly came up and said that she
would go with Mr.. Aimes.

a puff of smoke and one of the Peters

arose furious melee, firing right and

dropped another man. Suddenly there
was a new excitement among the
