cred in the Heavenly Bodies,

-sA '"N hN"tChIy DUulcSs
A late circular issued from the Har-
ward college observatory includes in its
account of the most important recent
discoveries the spectrum of star
known as Zeta Puppis, its remarkable
character being unlike that of anyjoth-
er yet obtained. the continuous spec
trum containing three systems of lines
first, the dark hydrogen lines. such as
are found in stars of the FIRST type:
second. two bright bands or lines. which
may be identical with the adiacent lines
in spectra of the fifth type, and. third.
q series of very faint lines. But the
most important feature of this spec
trum. says the New York Sun, is a new
element, not found on the earth or in
any other stars, an element which,
though similar to hydrogen. is yet dis
tinctly different from it; just what it
is or by what name to call it astron-
omers are undecided, the marked
popularity being noted that it pro-
duces vibration systematic rather
than accidental. Of hree-ten-millionth
of millimeter, and the action of which
can be traced only on a specially-pre-
pared Photographic plate. Another ex-
traordinary discovery noted is a new
variable star, in the constellation Crux,
with period of about year.

SAVED BY A PET GOOSE.
This Much-Maligned Bird Rescues .
Man from Fire.


Henry j. johnson, who lives near
Choconut Center, was saved by pet
goose from cremation in his barn re-
Gently, says the New York Press. Mr..
johnson owns large gray goose that
has been brought up by hand" The
bird has developed strong attach
ment for its owner and will leave the
flock to follow him about the farm.
The other day severe thunderstorm
passed over the place and Mr.. johnson
hurried to the barn to put up the horse.
Suddenly there was sharp fash and
severe crash Of thunder directly over
head.
A member of the family a few mo-
ments afterward CHANGING from a rear
window saw the goose come screaming
from the barn, fly through the rain to
the house and then back again to the
barn. Thisaction was repeated several
times before the family decided to in
vestigate. On entering the barn they
found it filed with smoke. Lightning
had struck rafter, and, passing down
ward, had set fire to some clapboards.
The flames, which had gained consider
able Roadway, were extinguished by
prompt action. Mr.. johnson was found
lying on the floor, unconscious, and in a
few minutes more the structure about
him would have been ablaze. The light
ming stripped the feathers from half
dozen chickens on an adjacent roost
without injuring the birds. Mr.. john
son will recover.
