IN THE STARRY WORLD,
Interesting Facts In Astronomy Given
by Prof. NeWcOmb

Probably you know that the stars
are suns, and that they look like
mere shining points Of light because
they are SO far away. The nearest
is SO far that cannon shot fired
in Adams time from the Garden Of
Eden, and flying continually with
undiminished speed, would even now
hardly have started on its journey.
1t would be as if train bound for
another town had just phlled ont of
the station.
On similar evening you may see
Arcturus high up in the south or
southwest in June orJuly, and far
ther down in the west in August or
September. You will know it by its
red color. That star has been flying
straight ahead ever since astronomers
began to observe it, at such a speed
that it would run from New York to
Chicago in a small fraction of min
ute. You would have to be spry to
rise from your chair, put on your
hat and overcoat and gloves and 60
out on the street while it was cross
ing the Atlantic ocean from New
York to Liverpool. And yet if you
should watch that star all your life,
and live as long as Methusaleh, you
would not be able to see that it
moved at all. The journey it would
make in thousand years would be
as nothing alongside its distance.
Many, perhaps, most, of the stars.
are really much larger and brighter
than the sun. Campus, as it APP
pears to us, is the second, brightest
star in the heavens. 1t never rises
in our northern attitudes; to see it
well you would have to go at least
as far south as the gulf states. AL
though it shines to us only as very
bright star, it is really thousands of
times as bright as the sun, and yet
so far away that we do not see them
as very bright stars.
There are now about sixty stars
whose distance astronomers have
been able to get some idea. The dis
tances of few of the nearest of
these have been measured with some
approach to exactness but the farth-
err star is, the harder 1t becomes
to secure exactness in such measure
ments. But astronomers are always
trying to improve their instruments,
and every year they are finding out
more and more about the arrange
ment of the stars.
Perhaps before the twentieth CEN
fury shall be half gone they will
know how far off the milky way is
something they have as yet no GER
tain way of learning.-Professor
Simon Newcomb in the Youths Com
panion.

Mrs. Phoebe Hearst has announced
two new gifts to the University of
California. One is museum of art
and archaeology, which she proposes
to fill with the best collections that
can be bought in Europe. Mrs.
Hearst also announces that she will
establish dormitories for young
women students in the college town
OF Berkeley. Stanford University
has proved very attractive to girls
because of the fine dormitories, but
the State University has forced all
students to engage rooms and board
in town.

Poor little vagabond wallis that cling
To the pavement's narrow hem;'
In all the breadth of this sunny land
There Is no room for them,
Ragged, unwelcome, their stintcd lives
Are pleading to us for aims,
Yet ever our careless feet pass by
In our search for beauty's charms.
We cannot see with our worldly eyes
How fair Is each weed and clod,
Nor know In these outcasts we deny
Beats the infinite heart Of God

told by President Kruger that he was at
liberty to remain, but when the official
permits were issued none CAM to him.
and his application to the bureau or COM

without a permit was twenty-five lashes

On the theory that seeing is believ-
ing" John A.. Smith of Milwaukee wants
everyone to try his remedy for the cure
OF rheumatism at his expense. For that
reason he proposes to distribute 25, 900
free sample packages among all persons
sending him their. address. Mr.. Smith
had suffered all the agony n torture
from rheumatism, tried all the remedies
known and yet utterly failed to find re-
lief.
At times he was SO helpless that he had
to take to morphine and after consider
able doctoring he gave up in despair. He
began studying into the causes Of rheu-
matisnl and after much experimenting,
he finally hit upon a combination Of
drugs which completely cured him. The
result was 50 beneficial to his entire sys-
tenn that he called his new-found remedy
Gloria Tonic Those Of his friends and
relatives and %neighbors suffering from
rheumatism were TEXT cured and Mr..
the world. But he found the task a diff
a hundred or more remedies and they
couldn't be made to believe that there
was such a thing as a cure for
rheumatism. But an old gentleman
from Seguin, Texas, wrote to him
saying that If Mr.. Smith would send
him a sample he would try it, but
as he had suffered f%orty-one years and
wasted a fortune with doctors and adj
! vertised remedies, he wouldn't buy any
thing more until he knew it was worth
something. The sample was sent, he
purchased more n the result was as
tonishing. He. was completely cured,

This gave Mr.. Smith a new idea, and ever
since that time he has been sending out
free sample packages to all who apply.
1t cured Miss Emma Calender at No.
100 Oak street, Vincennes, Ind, who, aft
err spending over $500 with doctors,
had been given up to die. In Prosser,
Neb., it cured Mrs. Carl Moritz, a lady
of 81, who had suffered 81 years. In
Fountain City, Wis.,, it cured Hon. Jacob
Sexauer, a gentleman Of 70, who suffered
for 81 years. In Perrysburg, Ohio, it
cured Mr.. Mich. Muth, a gentleman of 10.
In Heron Lake, Mimi, it cured Mrs. John
Geehr, who had suffered for 30 years.
Rev. g. Sund Of Harrisville, Wis, tested
this remarkable cure on two members OF
his congregation, one who had suffered
IS and theo other % years, both were com
pletely cured. Even prominent physicians
had to admit that .'Gloria Tonic" is a
positive success, among them DR. Quin-
tero Of the University of Venezuela, to
whom it was recommended by the United
States consul. In thousands Of other in
stances the result has been the same,
It cured many cases which defied Hos

Skill, among them persons over Is years
old.

everybody should profit by his rood for
