PASSPORTS.

Under what circumstances does one
use a passport when travelling abroad!
This Is the usual query OF those who
have never left the hospitable shore
OF the United States. The simplest re-
ply Is that the passport is used when

unless you show your passport.
As a rule the special entries to mn-
seums, Libraries and picture galleries
for the purpose Of study are permitted
only to those with passports and some
times because of a special consular
letter obtained on the strength Of the
passport.
In case OF death In 4 foreign hotel
the passport is invaluable to those at
tending and saves expense and delay
to the survivors. In Russia passports
are absolutely necessary and a certi-
icate that they have been examined
is Just as imperative. Without both
you cannot cross the frontier. These
precautions strike us as Unnecessary,
but IL we lived in a European country
we would see the wisdom of II all.
Army conscriptions make 1t necessary
that a man should carry papers. A

carry with him his papers stating his

of Professor Sees researches, which is
contrary to the generally received
opinion, is that Jupiter and Saturn. in

A NOTED ASTRONOMER
AMERICAN WINS FAME IN FOR
EICN LANDS.


There is a subtle irony, In view OF
Galileo's fate. in the Pope's keeping
an astronomer. The present director
OF the Vatican Observatory Is Rev.
George Mary Searlc. A. NJ. Pm. d.
Though OF American stock for sew
eral generations on his fathers side,
he was born in London, on June "a,
1889. DR.. Searle's childhood and youth
were passed in %Brookline, Mass, where
he received his early education, after
ward entering Harvard, from when
university he graduated In the class OF
1867, having, among his other class
mates. John Davis Long. Secretary OF
the navy In the present cabinet. Dr.
Searle then became assistant TO Dr.
Gould in the Dudley Observatory AT
Albany, state, of New York, where on
September IL, 1858. he discovered the
asteroid Pandora, the first discovery OF
the kind ever made In the States by
original search. In January, 1909, Dr.
Searle entered the service OF the

Once q Newsboy.

The youngest college president In the
United States is Mr.. Jerome II. Ray
mond, who no further back than TWEEN.
ty years ago was a l~2-year-old news
boy in Chicago. The way to success
lay through ste%nography. Becoming
an expert he was appointed private
secretary to Pullman. the palace car"
magnate, and afterward to Miss VIII
lard. whose great correspondence no
attended to for four years. At the
same time he studied diligently. He
went to college, was graduated, and
accented the chair of sociology In a
small western hall Of learning. While
attending classes he was never beaten
at study but once, and that was by a
young lady. He straightway married
her. She now assists him In presiding
over the destinies of the University of
West Virginia.

a worthless one, although the cashier

who had the same day sold L straw hat

Perhaps one OF the strongest bits OF
evidence brought forward by the stat,
was the positive Identification of Ken
nedy by a bell-boy named Lenahan al
the man who had gone unstairs with
Miss, Reynolds and later had tried to
slip out unnoticed.

DR.. Edwards, the American magnetic
healer, has been busy performing So
called miracles In Paris. The noise OF
his reputed cures has caused a sensa-
ton, and people flock to his apartment
in the Rue Cadet, near the Boulevard.
The doctor is an amiable old man. full
Of admiration for himself and his

the stand by the evidence Of the pris'
oner's own father that he and his son
had been working the day of the muir
der repairing a kitchen sink, during
which they used solder, lead and gas
pipe. The prisoners father also ad-
mitted that his son rode a bicycle, and
that he had often seen him with BIZ
cycle tape. The Importance OF the
admission as to the solder will be seen
when it is known that the solder on
the murderer's weapon was fresh, and,
according TO plumbers, had been melted
on that day. Many other little bits
Of evidence were brought out by the
state at the trial, which, combined
with the more important points, added
Strengthening threads to the web that
entangled Kennedy.
The defense did not care to put Ken
nedy on the witness stand for his W
defense, as previous to the trial he had
made such conflicting statemspts as to
his whereabouts and actions on ~Ipc
eventful night that 1t was believed the
cross-eyamination by the state in
which these would be introduced would
hurt his case very much. It was sought
to be shown that Kennedy was not at
the hotel on the night Of Aug. Is. but
the alibi broke down In vital points,
and the record of previous good be-
havior which the defense brought for
ward counted for nothing. The de-
Tense then had to content itself with
picking flaws in the evidence Of the
various witnesses for the prosecution.
Some of the scenes Of the trial were
quite dramatic, notably when the
father of the accused was forced to

OF parahiba, Ceara. Rio Grande do

OF II seem incredible. In no other re-
gion Of the globe Is n tree to be found
that can be employed for such varied

ALWAYS green and vigorous. Its roots
produce the same medicinal effects as
sarsaparilla. Its stems afford strong,
light ibers, which acquire a beautiful
luster, and serve also for joists, rafters
and other building materials, as well
as for stakes for fences. From parts
of the tree wines and vinegars are
made. II yields almost n saccharlne
substance, as well as a starch resem-
bling sage. In periods of famine,
caused by protracted %droughts, the
nutritious substances obtained from 1t

classes. Its fruit Is used for feeding
cattle. The pulp has an agreeable

quantity of this straw Is shipped to

straw is also used for matching

from it, and likewise an alkali used
