favorite granddaughter, Princess Eliz-
abeth, the eldest daughter Of Prince
Leopold of Bavaria and the Archduch-
ess Gisela of Austria, eloped with a
young officer in the Bavarian army,
Lieut.. Seefried, who was both penni-
less and plebeian. 1t was a ease of love
at first sight for both, and this mod

made no cOncealment of their love.
and the young lieutenant boldly asked
the old emperor Of Austria for the
hand OF this beautiful princess in mar
rage. The Emperor Francis joseph
was Mortified at his granddaughter's
choice OF a penniless and lowly born
army officer for a husband. Consent
to t-ea1r union was emphatically re-
fused. The upshot was that the prin-
cess and the lieutenant eloped and
were married in Switzerland. Lieut..
Seefried was Immediately expelled
from the Bavarian army, and Prince
Leopold in his wrath forbade the
young couple to ever again cross the
Bavarian frontier. The Empress of
Austria, however, who had a tender

her efforts Lieut.. Seefried was admit

Seefried and the princess lived quietly

the empress has shown that she had

profit takers in New York stocks are

The following extracts from the Ban

be of interest: 1T is a mistaken idea
that successful speculation requires
the presence and constant attention Of

successful operators keep away from

thereby avoiding the influence of the

Franks of the Types.

Experience shows that errors will oc- cur in the best regulated typesetting establishments. Recently, in writing an article on ancient theories with re- gard to the universe I had occasion to refer to the idea once advanced that the earth was circular, with roots reaching downward without end. As a suitable heading to this paragraph I wrote "The Earth With Roots." Imag- inc my surprise on reading the title in print as ''The Earth With Boots.''
 Not long ago I quoted the following remark made by Professor Barnard with regard to variable stars: "As many as hundred of them have been found in a space in the sky that would be covered by pins head held at the distance of distinct vision" The type- setter carefully changed the pins head to pigs head, and he still survivesl
 When engaged to lecture before the Bridgeport Scientific society on "Our Place Among Ininities," the morning papers in that city gave the title of my lecture as "Our Place Among Infrmi- ties" However, the climax of errors was reached, not by typesetter, but by small boy who was sent to cir culating library in quest of my father s book, ''Other Worlds Than Ours" and overwhelmed the librarian by asking for "Other Worms Than Ours Mary Proctor ill New York Herald.

Whats In the Air7

There would appear to be more than passing colloquial significance in the expression, "What' in the air 2' Thus, according to writer in Cosmos, 8 par ticle of dust floating in the air is made up of a nucleus of variable form, solid or liquid, surrounded by an ''atmo- derm, '' or thin gaseous layer, adhering to the nucleus by attraction, this atmo- derm diminishing the weight of the dust, but not sufficiently to explain its sus- pension in the air. Although denser than the exterior air, it is still composed of gaseous molecules that have preserv- ed their essential properties. They yet, like those less closely bound, are repell- ed by the moving molecules that circu- late freely near them or that form part of other atmoderms, and thus there re- suits resistance is, friction of the dust particles against the surround ing atmospheric molecules.
 In this way friction causes very light powders to fall to earth very slowly, and once raised by the wind they follow the currents, even the slightest ones, of the lower layers of the air. Thus dust parti- cles are raised easily by ascending cur rents, and having reached the top of their course fall back, but slowly, and being taken up by new currents may consequently remain long in suspen- sion, rising and descending alternately.
