METEOR's FLIGHT CAUGHT.
After Years of Failure the Gamer

After Years of Failure the Camera
Has Recorded the Phenomenon.
From the Boston Transcript
Prof. E. c. Pickering of Harvard in writ
ing of recent astronomical work, says:
What has been considered an almost i'm
possible feat in astronomical circles UP to
the present time has at last been accom-
Hnshed. For several years the Harvard
observatory has been engaged in photo
graphing, in Cambridge and Peru, the
spectra of all stars above the eighth magni-
tude. had hoped when this work was un-
dertaker that a metear would some time
cross the field of onsf Of fhe Photographic
prisms while taking the tpectra but this
did not occur until recently The observa-
tory now possesses IAN excellent photo
graph of meteoric spectr lm. the first that
is known to have been Outlined.
The photograph Is of considerable i'm
portance, for, although the composition Of
the meteorites that have fallen to- the
earth is well known, this spectrum will de-
tt rhine the condition of shooting stars and
meteorites before the great heat engender-
ed IN passing through thea tmosphere has
time to consume the more fusble compo-
nents. In other words, people can now tell
what goes to make up, to some extent, the
shooting star, which, passes so quickly that
ameTa gaping open waiting for it to cross
the sky. $3.50 --+
The photograph was taken on June IS.
lSlI, in Arequipa, Peru the South Amerl-
can station of the obserVa tory. 1t was A
sheer piece of good luck. Thousands OF
plates a>been exposed to the sky with
the prism over the mouth of the camera
ready to take a spectrum of anything that
traversed the heavens. The lucky plate
that caught the meteor has running across
II obliquely light band of six lines, the
trail of the shooting star.
The spectrum Of the meteor taken a.
Areqmpa shows four hydrogen lines at diff
ferent colors in the spectrum, and two
other lines that are unknown quantities at
present. Many variable stars, those whose
brilliancy increases or falls off from time
to time, have had their spectra photograph
ed. The four hydrogen lines of the meteor
correspond to four ordinarily found in the
variable star spectra. One of the unknown
lines caught in the meteor spectrum also
appears in those of certain variable stars
Nobody knows what element is represent
ed by this line, it does not correspond
to any found on this earth. So far all that
is known OF the meteor is that it contains
hydrogen, and, of course, something little
more substantial The results show an i'm
portant resemblance in the chemical conf
positions of meteors and certain stars, and
vaguely promise that some day the make
up OF meteor may be as easy to discover
as that Of ordinary salt"

THEY ARE HER BOYS.
Old Chicago Woman Sews Buttons for
Street Waits.

Old ChtcagO Woman Sews Buttons for
Street Waits.
From the Philadelphia Press.
A dear old Chicago lady, who prefers to
remain unnamed. being left alone in her
declining years, has adopted all the street
urchins as her family. There are too many
Of them to take to her home and she Is
too feeble to care for so large a family in
that way. She therefore seeks them out
and gives them mittens and pulse warmers
OF her own make. She also sews buttons
on their clothes and does light mending for
them. The pulse-warmers are of peculiar
construction, cut from a pattern Of her
own devising. The upper side is made
longer than the under and projects over
the back of the hand. leaving the fingers
free to make change or WELD the backing
brush.
Sometimes this kindly woman spends the
entire night working for "her boys" ply
Ing the needle to replensh her stock, which
is largely made from fulled cloth. Friends
give her old clothes, and she uses the less
worn parts in making her mittens and
pulse warmers. Once in a while she fills
her roomy old bag with an assortment of
buttons, needles and thread, and she saIlies
forth to seek the alleys. where her pro-
teges congregate. There she will devote
herself to replacing buttons and sewing up
rents in garments.

The railway line across Newfoundland
has been completed, and was formally
opened the other day. 1t is anticipated that
1t will be of use in shortening the sea pas
sage from England to Canada and vice
versa, but this seems doubtful, as it is
scarcely worth while to cross Newfcund-
land and take ship again, now that steam
ers travel almost as fast as railway trains.
The new railway traverses the island from
Port-aux-Basques, on the west, to St.
Johns, on the east coast, distance of $50
miles. 1t will undoubtedly open up a good
deal Of the interior Of the country. and en-
able the immense mineral wealth to be
utilized. Powerful steamers are being built
to continue the service between Newfound-
land and Canada; indeed. one has already
arrived from Glasgow. and is said to be able
to travel twenty knots an hour.

Half Peas.

From the ST. Joseph Herald.
At the gathering of the retail grocers last
Tuesday night "reminiscences were ex-
changed and many were the tales which
the grocers told on each other. One grocer.
who now enjoys the distinction of being
the leading grocer in his section OF the
city. tells a tale on himself which bears re-
peating.
1t happened when he was new In the bust
ness. One day a spice salesman, repre-
senting an eastern firm, called on him.
The grocer said he didn't need anything in
his line. That was the natural thing to
say. however. and 1t didn't worry the sales
m an a bit. He talked on In the hope of
getting an order. Said he:
Where do you buy your pepper now2"

ooh. / wouldn't buy their pepper; it's

-, you are mistaken there: they do not
adulterate anything. That's the way with
you salesmen: you are always running
down your competitors"
II don't care what you say, I'm willing to
wager that s. & Co.'S pepper Is half peas"
VERY well, I'll bet yo1 dollar 1t isn't"
The money was put up, whereupon the
travelling man proceeded to prove the
rectness of his assertion. This was easily
done. Taking a pencil he wrote pepper.

VICTORY OF
RETAILERS
The Brewers Will Pay the 81
Placed on Them by the
Government.
SOME RESTRICTIONS ACCEPTED
Collectors Will Not Treat After
Collecting Bills:
SALOON KEEPERS SATISFIED
The Liquor Dealers Association or
Wilmington Agree Not to Pur-
chase Beer of Foreign Firms.
Bottlers Also Give In

,OME RESTRICTIONS ACCEPTED
SALOON KEEPERS SATISFIED

The Retail Liquor Dealers Association
Of Wilmington held a meeting in Ger
man Hall, ON Sixth street between
French and Walnut, tor the purpose of de-
Gliding the payment OF the additional 81
tax on every barrel of beer imposed on
them by the brewers of this city.
Fully 100 of the 1S5 members of the
association were present when the presi-
dent, James II. Kane, called the meet
ing to order. After stating the object of
the gathering Edward Harkins, secretary
of the organization, read the minutes Of
last Sundays meeting, which embodied
the resolutions passed to the effect that
they would not pay the 81 tax for the
brewers.
These were unanimously adopted as
read after which Mr.. Kane stated that
John H. Hartman, John Lengel and
Harry j. st eckle. brewers, We're present
and it was decided to give them the per-
mission of the floor.
Mr.. Stoeckle acted as spokesman, and
he stated that at a conference held by the
the brewers on Tuesday last it was de-
cided that compromise should be
effected with the Association whereby
they, the retailers, pay half OF the 81 tax
called for by the government, and the
brewers the remainder.
This proposition the Association
unanimously rejected, and the brewers
asked for few minutes time, in order to
confer again.
At the conclusion of this conference
Mr.. Stoeckle offered the ultimatum of
the brewers. This was that they would
not impose the additional 81 tax on tie
retailers; sell the beer at the usual price
! of IS per barrel; give them rebate of
y! per cent. but with the understand
ing that their collectors do no more
treating when making the weekly collec-
tinns and also refrain from allowing the
saloonkeepers aceltaln amount Of money
per week.
The last proposition was accepted by
the unanimous vote of the body and the
meeting adjourned.
BY this arrangement with the brewers
the association also agreed not to sell the
beer OF any foreign firms.
The retailers gained'a victory by the
proposition as the beer per barrel will
cost them about 81, or about 25 cents
more PER barrel than it did before the
new tax was imposed.
1t was also stated at the meeting yes
terday afterno IN that the prices of the
bottlers would remain the same as here
tofole and that the cost on soft drinks
would not be increased.

papers TO secure q better profit by bet
ter methods. One poultry raiser says
that he raises all the early pullets he
can, SO as to get a good lot of winter
eggs, which he considers clear profit.
There is one great advantage in -hav-
ing a good share of the eggs come in
the fall and winter, and that is one
avoids having to sell their product on
a coDgested market. To get winter
eggs one must have spring pullets, and
to get spring pullets the hens should
be started to work in April. II one
has an incubator this is a good month
in which to have it in operation. One
advantage in using the incubator at
this time of year is thai the chicks will
come during the first part Of May, and
the q lestion of a ErOoder and it's run.
ming will not be such a momentous
one as early In the season, when the
weather is colder. A brooder will be
indeed needed, but the air will be so
warm that the chicks may be out of it
a great deal of time getting the sun
and exercise.
cd fowls are said to be sluggish as
inter layers. To what ex this is
fact, more than an incidental one, is
not easy to determine. The pullets lay
in the early winter not because they
are younger than the other hens, but
bt cause they arrive at maturity at the
beginning of winter, and one Of the
laws of their maturity is that they be-
gin the production of eggs II they
are sherefore born at the right month
and are 50 fed that they will arrive at
maturity at the right time, the eggs
may be depended on. Another reason
why the pulleTs will lay better is per.
haps because they grow too fast to
permit them to put on fat and so are
In a condition to lay. for it has been
noticed, that fat seems to stop egg pro
entirely il it be present in large
quantities. The oloer the hen the more
she is to lay on fat.
