times the largest borrower in the money
center, and in 1894 was SO involved that
rumors We're current that his failure was
threatened. But in the last six years he
had reduced his obligationss and the wave
OF prosperity that swept over the country
three years ago enabled him to sell many
of the securities that he had been carry

best informed man on Mr.. Huntington's
affairs is Russell Sage, the streets big

In an essay on "Civic Helpfulness,'
in the October Century, Governor
Roosevelt paints from the life this
portrait of the hero of peace:
AS fine figure as can call to mind
is that of a country clergyman in
poor farming community not far from
the capital of the state of New York
a vigorous old man, who works on his
farm six days in the week, and on the
seventh breaches what he himself has
been practising. The farm does not
occupy all of the weekdays, for there
is not a spiritual need of his parish
toner's that he neglects. He visits
them, looks after them if they are
sick, baptizes the children, comforts
those in sorrow, and is ready with
shrewd advice for those who need
aid; in short, shows himself from
weeks end to weeks end a thorough
ly sincere, earnest, hardworking
Christian. This is perhaps the health
lest type.

DR.. Gill of the Cape Observato tory
(Cape of Good Hope), in recent ad-
dress, made some interesting state
ments regarding the relations between
absolute brightness, relative lightness,
and size of the stars. He pointed
out that we have stars ranging in alb
solute- brightness from 5000 to 1000
times greater than that of the sun.
The sun, with it's diameter of S65, 900
miles and it's temperature of over 5000
degrees centigrade, is really only
tenth source of energy compared
to some of the so-called fixed stars
which are so far away that it takes
their light hundreds of years to reach
us. Indeed it has been suggested by
some astronomers that there are stars
in existence and near enough to be
seen, perhaps by very powerful tele
scopes, which are 50 far away that
the light, travelling at the rate of 1856,
900 miles a second since creation, has
not yet reached the earth.-Ec.
