Of deep study. Researches have shown
that the perihelion motion of Mars is

comb even went so far as to hint that
only a change in the accepted formula
of Newton's law would account for
this and other planetary anomalies. Mr..
Ravene tries to O for this ano-
maly by the action of the small planets
and also by assuming the existence az
other disturbing bodies near Mars. HIS
results were among others that the
orbit of the hypothetic bodies must he

that the longitude OF ~perihelion must
be between the limits OF 30 degrees an.

planet has an eccentricity of 0.22. and
its perihelion longitude is 40 degrees.

matters: each dependent upon the other.

A WORTHLESS CHECK.
Avery e. Chandler of North Auburn
Charged With Misusing the Mails.

Avery e. Chandler Of North Auburn,
is member of Co. c, LIST Maine Regi-
ment, He WIS at Chickamauga, came
home sick and is now recovering from a
fever. Chandler was brought here yester-
day by Post Office Inspector Pendleton,
charged with using the United States
mails for fraudulent purposes A letter
as written in IA. arch by Chandler to a
Chicago firm, ordering them to send
large bill of goods. such as jewelry, guns.
knives, etc., the whole amounting to
perhaps a thousand dollars. 1t is charged
also that Chandler sent to this firm
worthless check for $1,000 On the First
National bank of Biddeford, signed John
Smith.
In the hearing before Commissioners
Bradley yesterday morning, the govern
ment's side of the case was conducted by
District ttorney Dyer, but Chandler had
no cou nsel. Chandler admitted that he
wrote the letter, but said that he did it
for fun and never intended to send it. He
put a cancelled one cent stamp on the
letter with mucilage and left it lying on
his desk. His mother got the letter, put
an additional one rent stamp on it and
| mailed it, Chandler would not admit
| that he wrote the check and sent it,
Commissioner Bradley said the letter
was not such as to make it a fraud to
send it through the mails and he said the
government had no evidence that the
worthless check was enclosed in the letter.
Upon this the government asked for o.
con tinuance to enable them to bring
from Chicago the man to whom the letter
was addressed to testify that the check
was in the letter. ChandlerssHnally waived
a further examination and was bound
over in the sum Of $500 for his appearance
before the December term of the grand
iury. He thinks he can obtain bail.
