3OO,OOO,OOO Worlds.

Sir Robert Ball, lately Astronomer
Royal in Ireland, says Golfers Week
ly, provided recently a suggestive ad-
dress, in the course Of which he stated
that within the relatively narrow
sphere to which human observation is
at present confined, there are not less
than ovU,O0O, 900 worlds. Many of them
are, he noted, gigantic. Their suns
are more magnificent than ours. Their
stars are NOR neighborly. The con-
ditions in which they revolve are as
a consequence presumably better than
those which the earth sometimes en-
joys and sometimes does not. 1t is
Uncomfortable, he added, that these
worlds should be devoid Of sentient be-
ings who, if not mortal in the sense
which we give to the term, at any rate,
are finite. And Sir Robert wound up
by putting the following query: What
is the relative position of man? There
is a riddle which, if patiently ex-
amined, will be found perhaps to con-
tain the greatest possible amount CT
relief for those whom ideas of their
own Importance bother. Behind the
uttermost of these worlds there are
other worlds, other suns, other sys-
TENS. Whenever in it's WEAKNESS i'm
agination would set a limit there is
space begun.

PhantOnS.

Phantoms.
Whence do they come? What may their
import be
The fitting, flashing phantoms of the
mind
That half awake and half in dream we
see;
That never can be captured or defined?
They hint at something lost. something
desired,
Something whose ownership would
make US glad
Perhaps at thoughts with subtle meaning
fired,
Or truths unrecognized because unclad.
They may be glints of half-forgotten
dreams,
They may be memories long buried
That from their ashes give out ttful
CLEANS
Before they sink to their long final
sleep.
Perhaps electric lines from the brain,
Are tapped and flashed by crossing
with our own,
Perhaps some floating shreds or bits re-
OF former life that we somewhere have
known.
Who wait our coming on the other
shore
Too spiritual with earthly sense to
blend,
Too finely soft to fully pierce life's roar.
Perhaps! Perhaps! Conjectures cannot
teach!
We clutch at shadows and we grasp the
air!
The mystery is aye beyond our reach
An ignis fatuus art snare.

the telegraph wire from Mtowa on
Lake Tanganyika to kasongo on the
Congo, a distance of 200 miles. From
this point another section will be car

A Pretty Neck Dress.

One Of the most difficult problems
that many women have to deal with, is
that of keeping themselves looking
we'll in the morning. The trouble with
many house gowns and dressing jack
cts of the interpretations kind is that
they are not becoming around the neck.
To remedy this new and pretty idea
is to cut a piece of muslin about the
size Of a bandana handkerchief, and
finish it at the edge with a narrow ruff
file. Fold it diagonally, tie around the
neck, leaving a little V-shaped open
front, and then tie again. This will
leave knot, and the ends sticking out,
which makes a simple but dainty
finish

A Remarkable Watch.

A watch Of remarka BILE perfection is
described in the London Times, it's
distinction resting on the fact of its
having just gained the Kew certificate
of '@Class A, Especially Good with
the extraordinary high mark Of ISL
out of a possible 100. To win the lat
ter watch would have to be absolute
ly perfect as timekeeper, result ad-
mitted to be scarcely within the range
of practical achievements. This watch,
an all English pocket chrOnometer, has
mean variation of daily rate amount
ing to only one-third of a second, and
the mean difference between the eX-
IRENE gaining and losing rates to four
seconds. The makers attribute this
result to the use of a revolving escape
ment or tourbi1lou, a device in which
the frame that carries the escapement
is made to revstve slowly, but continu-
ously, in the main frame by the action
in timekeeping from change of position
"a piece of mechanism which does not
materially increase the complication
of the watch, involving, in fact, the ad-
dition of one wheel only. While the
marks of this watch for temperature
compensation are not claimed to be
unsurpassed-as many as 1O.7 having
been recorded out of twenty-those for
smallness in variation in daily rate
and for absence of positional errors are
usually good

The Spun Silk Chemfse.

Many cruel blows have been struck
at the influence of the chemise, but
after diverse false substitutes have
been put forth and had their day, this
chosen undergarment of our foremoth-
ers retains it's hold on feminine affec-
tions, and a woven silk chemise bids
fair to put the silk undervest out Of
sight and mind.
The new silk chemise is as pretty,
cool and as graceful a little article
Of underwear as manufacturing genius
can turn out, and the stout woman
can adopt it without a qualm. Its
weave is as fine and flexible as the
most delicate silk stocking, and down
to the waist it fits the body like a
glove. Below this point it is sloped
out, without any superfuous fulness,
and falls to the knees. The prettiest
Of them are edged about the shoulders
and armholes with line of si1ken lace,
and over the bust open work silk forms
flights of butterflies and knots of flow
ers. Chemises of mashed linen, that
is almost as flexible as the silk, are
made on these same lines, and are
durable and comfortable beyond
words.
