has been assumed. In other words, that
swift messenger, light, which travels with
the enormous velocity of 1S6 900 miles per
second, darts through the space which sep
arates us from the sun in Sis minutes, flies
to the outer planet Neptune in AZ hours
and crosses the mighty void between us
and the nearest star, Alpha Centauri
in AZ years, requires the lapse of five CEN
turtles to wing its flight from that remote
universe to the world which we inhabit.
The effulgent rays which left the blazing
sun Alcyone during the reign of the Eng
fish monarch Henry w, century before
Columbus discovered America, will this
evening make its first impression on our
optic nerves as a feeble ray of light.
If we plat the universe on a scale in which
the distance from the sun to the earth 3d.
100000 miles, is represented by one inch,
then we have, approximately, Jupiter S

While these prodigious distances are in

prey upon them. The fact is that every
species has its parasitic enemies, and one
of the most effective methods for attacking
a pestiferous bug is to identify and encour-
age the multiplication of it's insect foes.
One of the most remarkable insects bred
| in the insectary is the "shothole beetle
1t is so-called because of queer little tun-
nels, resembling holes made by small shot,
| where it bores in wood The "sawdust'
produced by boring is chewed to pulp
by the female beetle and is put by her into
mushroom beds In due time the beds fur
| nish mushrooms for her young.
When the parasite for an injurious insect
is found it is coddled and petted. Efforts
are made to encourage it to breed. Even
tually it is let loose experimentally on an
infested tree or other plant. Fierce beetles
which are to the insect world what beasts
of prey are to the manual kingdom, are
propagated and placed where they will
have a chance to tackle their victims
Fungus and bacterial diseases are COM
municated to healthy bugs, in order that
they may be let loose and disseminate ar
tifcial maladies among their kind
The bureau of entomology is breeding
parasites of the cotton-boll weevil-the in
sect that is doing SO much damage to the
cotton in the southwest Other bugs I'M
der propagation are the borer that invades
oak tree roots, the scale insect of the
peach, the cottony maple scale and the Gre
osote scale. This last is found on the Gre
osote shrub all through the southwest. The
shrub itself is not of Importance, but the
substance of the scale formed by the in
sect makes an excellent commercial quail

tellectually computable and exceedingly
| impressive, it is after all utterly impossi.
bic for the human mind to realize and com
prehend them. Large as this great earth
| laden with its continents and oceans, seems
| to our limited senses, il is but speck in
the infinity of space; and if We were to I'M
dertake journey to the Pleiades our great
planet, with its teeming millions of human
beings, would be los, to sight before we had
passed over one-trillionth of the journey.
Yet the suns composing that cluster are so
large and brilliant that their light reaches
us across that mighty void.
Assuming. then, that the distance OF the
Pleiades IS 800 light years, we are able to
judge of the magnitude and light-giving
power of its individual suns and also of the
extent of the system Itself. The latter IS
about seven light years across, or nearly
equal 10 the distance between us and Sir
us. 1t will perhaps give us faint idea Of
the vast extent of that system to state that;
a sphere the size of the orbit of Neptune
could be contained 400, OO0,0 600 times IN a
sphere the size Of the Pleiades. If the stars
were equally distributed through the
sphere they would be 1S7 light days apart.
MAGNIFICENCE OF THE SUNS
How large, then, are the suns them
selves? II is computed that sixty of them
surpass our sun in briilancy-Alcyoue 1000
times, Electra 800 times and Maia 400 times.
Sirius takes but subordinate rank com
pared with these. Many of the very FAINT
ones, on the other hand are perhaps much
smaller than our sun.

with the constitution and condition of the

FIERCE HYDROGEN FLAMES
BY means of spectroscopy, we learn that
the stars of the universe are divided into
two great orders-the srlan. of which Sri
us is the type, and the solar stars, of which
our sun is the type. There are numerous
Subdivisions which we have not space 10

hottest, and their spectrum shows only n.y.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Mrs. Harry Whitcraft
of 63S Benson street, Camden, has been
lying at home for a full month in semi
conscious condition. Although she seems
to suffer terrible pain, which is probably
the cause of her coma tose state, her at
tending physician expresses hope of her ul-
innate recovery, and claims that the long
stage of nsensibility is in her favor
About the middle of January Mrs. Whit
craft complained of shooting pains in her
head. On Jan. 18th the family physician
was called and diagnosed her ailment as
an abscess at the base of the brain. She
was compelled to go to bed on that day. so
great was her suffering. and on the follow
ing day she lapsed into a state of coma.

Wants Those Presents Back

If Mrs. George Wheeler had been able
to restrain her husbands weakness for
boasting she might have kept in peace the
many fine presents given her when she
was Miss Ellen Earhart. AS 1t was, she
was brought into a Louisville, KY, police
court, charged with obtaining goods under
false pretenses. The warrant was sworn
out by Henry Meyers, an old flame, whom
she had Tilted. The goods alleged to have
been obtained by false pretenses are a
number of presents Meyers gave Miss Ear
hart during their engagement. Meyers and
Miss Earhart were to have been married
about two months ago. All preparations
for the event had been perfected, when
suddenly Miss Earhart left the city, Two
weeks ago she returned and married
George Wheeler. Since then Meyers
friends have guyed him, but he took the
jokes good naturally. Meyers stood every
thing until he learned that Wheeler was
boasting of his conquest and was display
ing handsome presents which Meyers gave
his wife before their marriage. This in
censed Meyers, and he wrote Mrs. Wheeler,
requesting the return Of all his presents.
He says she refused to return them, and
he Swore out the warrant.

wholly untenablc, Owing to the extreme
remoteness Of the Pieiades. the combined
attractive power of the entire cluster car
not sway the sun from the course it is
pursuing. for 1t is Fastening in another di-
rection with an estimated velocity of from
twelve to fifteen miles per second.
SEEM TO BE COMING THIS WAY
Yet, curiously enough, the spectroscope
informs us that Alcyone is coming our way
at the rate of thirty miles per second. AS
yet we do not know whether this apparent
approach is due to local orbital motion
of the giant star within the cluster, or
whether 1t is owing to an advance of the
entire Pleiades group. Even in the latter
case it would take about 30O0. 900 years for
the Pleiades to reach the present location
of the solar system. But meantime the
sun is moving obliquely away from The
cluster towards the constellation Hercules
with a velocity that will doubtless keep it
perpetually beyond the dominating infiu-
ence of the Pleiades.

Perverted the Epitaph

A man who went away from home some
time ago to attend a convention of church
people, was struck with the beauty of the
little town in which the gathering was
held. He had plenty of time, and while
wandering about walked into the village
cemetery. 1t was a beautiful place, and
the delegate walked around among the
graves. He saw monument, one of the
largest in the cemetery, and read with sur
prise the inscription on it:
"a Lawyer, and an Honest Man." !:
The delegate scratched his head and
looked at the monument again. He read
the inscription over and over. Then he
walked all around the monument and ex-
amined the grave closely Another man
in the cemetery approached and asked
him:
=. Have you found the grave of an old
'friend?"

| fore sufficient for all ordinary avocatons
| II is doubtful if the splendor of these
night-shining suns will permit the astron-
| omer to penetrate through the roseate
haze which envelops him on every hand
| therefore his conceptions or at least his
| positive knowledge of the universe, will
be limited to the members of hts own
| sderal system.
| But what a brilliant galaxy challenges
his mental powers! Many of these sun
| stars not only have to him measurable
parallaX but they also have large orbital
and proper motions, the intricacies of
which would far surpass any with which
we have to deal in the solar system. The
planets of our systems are arranged on a
single plane, and yet their mutual at
| fractions present a very complex problem.
But we have reason to believe that the
Pleiades system, as we'll as many other
plicating the mathematical formulate neces-
sary to exhibit their orbital motions mu-
tual relations and mutual attractions.
But as before remarked, a large portion
of the Pleiades cluster, and perhaps all of
it, is enveloped in the folds of a great
nebula. 1t is therefore inferred that these

matter; that, in fact, the process of world
formation is now going on before our eyes.
In that case it seems doubtful If any of the
secondary worlds or planets are fitted at
the present time for the habitation of high
ly organized beings.
MOVING IN SOLID PHALANX
Owing to the immeasurabe distance OF
the Pleiades no internal orbital motions
have yet been detected, but large proper
motion, or drift through space of the clus-
ter as whole is known TO exist. This
proper motion is towards the southwest
and is nearly six seconds of the celes,ia
arc per annum, but though accounted large
by astrono mers, it would take more than
three centuries for the group 10 move over
a space equal to the diameter of the moon
But there are eight stars in the cluster
which do not partake of the common drift
Six of them appear to remain stationary
against the background of the sky. The
inference is. that vast as is the space
which separates us from the Pleiades
these six stars are Infinitely more remote
and that the cluster is moving across the
Sky between US and those six stars. But
two other stars are hurrying forward al a
much more rapid pace than their fellows,
and these are believed 10 be between us and
the group and independent of it.
NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
The astronomer Maedler. half century
ago, conceived that the Pleiades clu.sto
was the center of our siderial system. and
that the sun and all the visible stars III our
heavens were revolving in grand cycles
around the central star Alcyone. He even
computed the time of the suns revolution
and assigned a period of lS,050,000 years.
On that captivating theory poetic theoo-
Sians made Alcyone the center of the uni
verse and the throne of heaven.

NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS EXEMPLI-
FLED
During the last quarter of a century the
art of photography has lent its valuable
aid to astronomical investigations. The
human eye soon tires. and the retina fails
TO respond, but the sensitized plate of the
camera receives the rays of the tiniest star
and of the faintest nebula, and if you pa
tiently give it time the effect is cumulative
From this source we learn that large
number of the PTeades are yet enveloped
in the nebulous field of luminous gas, or
according to Norman Lockyer, meteoric
streams from which they seem to be
drawing the combustible fuel which is feed
ing their fierce flames. This is especially
true 70 Alcyone, Maia, Merope and Electra,
(which seem buried in the thick folds of a
great nebula whose wisps and sprays per-
wade more than half the cluster" And
within few months the Brothers Henry
have discovered two new nebuiae sur
rounding Atlas and Pleione in another sec

Pleiades cluster, and if it is far enough adj
