days he has scarcely slept.

Al n late hour tonight he was unable

started Tor Dawson from Calgary with

up at Calgary. The party had eighty
horses and 1t was captained by John
Mason, an old Californian. whom

New Wonders in the Sky.
Grand Forks Herald,

Brought down to the latest period pos
sible the new book ON astronomy prepared
by David P, Todd, professor in Amherst
college and named '.Stars aud Telescopes :
is readable and exceedingly interesting
work From it may be learned the newer
wonders of the sky-those, that is, which
have fallen under human observation with
in recent times.
Notable among these lnte discoveries il
the minor planet or asteroid numbered
433 called Eros. It WAS found and an
nouuced by Witt Of Berlin on Aug. IL
1898 and in the short time which has since
elias ped numerous details Of great interest
have been discovered concerning 1t. Chief
of these il the fact that it is the nearest
neiphbor to the earth Of all the heavenly
bodies. Meteors, of course, come actually
within the atmosphere Of this world and
their fragments have been found on 1T
surface, aud comets may be imagined At
touching us. she globe at one time actual
immersed in the tail of one Of them, but
these are causual callers or chance ao-
ouaintan,e not neighb0rs. Little Eros
remains our closest friends. Though, hke
the rest of the minor planets, its orbit
lies between those of Mars and Jupiter
it's eocentricity IA 40 great that 1t ma,
come at times within 100000 miles Of
onr own course around the sun. This must
have happened in 1894 and 1t will occu'
again IN 1924, aud 80 in every 30 years!
But a year from next December 1t will Dc
within. 100000 miles of us 100000
nearer than Mars at its closest.
II ia one of the proofs of the accuracy o.
modern observation that, once the die
oovery Of this tiny planet was made pub
lie, the observers at Harvard had no diff.
culty III making it out ut Photographic
plates of the heavens going back to 1894,
from which number ofimportant deduc.
tious have been made. The asteroid is
probably no more than twenty miles In
diameter. so very small that it has no ap-
parent sixe in the heavens, being mere
point Of light without dimensions. On
this account, among others, It will be pos
sibls during its next spp.osch in 1924 to TO
obtsin byits means q more accurate
measurement of the actual distance be-
tween the earth and the sun than has ever
