dry dust Of ages has been blown away.
new methods of describing the stars and
their characteristics W. been found,
and much has been done to bring a for
merly obtuse subject within the range of
ordinary education.
In this popularizing effort the science
has lost none of it's power. In fact, ON
the other hand, the discoveries that have
been made during the past few years
have been of the utmost Importance,
and, at the present time, it looks as If
the work of finding out new facts about
the heavenly bodies had only just been
commenced.
Among the many planets in the heav-
ems there are few of which less has been
known than Venus. the beautiful even
| ing star. Year after yea new facts
have been ascertained about the other
| planets and stars. but this n among
our many neighbors has remained a
mystery as fascinating as she was beau
tifuL.
Again and again astronomers have an
| bounced their intention of devoting their
| time exclusively to her until they had
| compelled her to disclose herself. but
their efforts have been Of comparatively
little avail. Within the past few weeks,
however. the earth has succeeded in tax"
ing a long stride toward making the ac-
uu%aintance of Venus and the probability
is that it will not be long before the old
mystery has been we'll solved.
VENUS AND EARTH.
OF all the planets there are none that
possess a more particular interest for US
than Venus, owing largely to the fact
that it is a globe which in many respects
bears a striking resemblance to our
earth. Not only is 1t lighted and warmed
by the same sun to which we owe sc
much, but in other respects II
closely resembles the planet on which
we reside.

branches of the society exist, and next
month will see members Fastening from
parts of the world to participate in
the meeting of the great convention that

Although large conventions have been
held in this country during the past sew
eral years this gathering promises to be
the most extensive that the society has
ever held. Altogether no less hat co.
900 persons will be present, and Of these
fully 10000 will cross the ocean from
this country. this being the largest dele
cation that has ever crossed the sea in q
body.
The great importance of this v
ton is due to the fact that 1t is the first
genuine worlds convention THAT the
Young Peoples Society for Christian
Endeavor has ever held. At previous
meetings many foreigners have been
present, but the visitors ave come as
individuahs and not In delegations. This

ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE BUSY.

With the approach Of the vacation season
the work of the Animal Rescue league is
a marked impetus. Each sue
ceeding day brings larger numbers Of stray
and dogs to the home at No. 68 Carver
street, animals which have either beenssent
householders departing from the ? city
the summer or which have been found
on the street. From 10 TO 20
month, and as the season advances lit is
Most of the cats and dogs are brought to
the home by members of the league, and
others are secured by it's agent! From all
sections of the city and suburbs they are
found, but the agent says that the Back
bay district is infested with more stray
cats han any other section. Here they
have lived in the alleys for several gem
erations. until they have become so wild
that it is almost impossible to catch them,
and then not without a struggle.
| Most of the cats recovered are In some
way diseased. They receive careful nurs-
ing, and several at present in the home
are proof of the Improvement caused by
kindness and careful treatment. Others
while the healthy ones are found homes il
good families. At present there are abou
Is cats in the institution. Last summer tn.
home was barely able to accommodate al
the animals received until they could b
placed in good homes. This season thos
in charge fear that they will be unable t
entirely meet the demand for their Sci
vices. AS the funds received permit, tn
league hopes to increase its facilities. 81
curing land and a barn near the cit
cats can be sent. and where, for a moderal
remuneration, pets can be boarded. 1t
hoped that the work may also extend

THE DUBLIN LORD MAYORS PoMP.

London Chronicles: The lord mayor OF
London maintains a degree of pomp and
circumstt ance far greater than that of
any other civil d~ignitary in the United
Kingdom. outside of London. His Off
c.al residence is "a stately edifice, with
ample accommodation for entertaining.
including 1.-THE round room," a vast
chamber constructed when the city en-
tertained George ~. The equippages
and powdered footmen of his lordship
would do no discredit to his brother Of
fetal in London. The lord mayor re-
ceives $4,000 a year. but 1t must be re-
membered that $4,000 a year in Dublin
goes farther than 1T does in London.
The chief magistrate has enjoyed the
title of lord since the tim of Charles II:

DIR. JOSEPH TRAYNOR DEAD
Career Of a Bright Young Man Suddenly
Ended

At his residence, No. 615 West street,
Dr. Joseph E. Traynor. aged about "a
years, died this afternoon of cOnsump-
tiOn.
Dr. Traynor was one of the brightest
young physicians in the city, and had a
prospect before him that few could
look forward to.
He was a graduate of the class Of
1900, Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. and stood high in his class.
Some three years ago, while boating
on the Delaware river young Traynor
was upset from a boat and got a severe
ducking. He never fully recovered
from the effects of the cold he then
contracted and the result was consump-
tion. Physicians advised DR.. Traynor
to go to Denver, Col, for his health.
He did so, but the climate apparently
did him no good and he returned to his
home, in this city, about two weeks
ago. A short time previous to going to
Denver he successfully passed the State
Medical Examining Board.
