BABY GIRL RESCUED.
Was Found in Portland Opium Den by
Officers.

King Yin. a 2-year-o white baby
girl. was rescued from slavery in a
Chinese opium den yesterday in Port
land, says the Telegram, and the mother
OF the child is said to be a woman
named Green, who lives in Astoria. In
order to get the baby away from the
den the policemen had to fight five
Cinnamon. and one OF these was COM
pletely knocked out by blow on the
neck
The Chinese claim that the baby was
legally given into their keeping by the
mother and they will fight for her Gus
tody in the courts. II had been known
for some time past that a white child
was in a Chinese den. but when the Of
ficers sought to rescue her. their search
was fruitless until yesterday. The
child is now in the keeping of the boys
and girls aid society.

Greek Marriage Customs.

The marriage in Constantnople of
an Englishman and Greek woman
entails three wedding ceremonies. To
be legal II must be performed at the
consulate. The couple are legally mar
ried there the first day. and on the next
a church ceremony is performed i'm the
English church. while the Greek re-
ligious ceremony which follows Is cclc-
brated at the brides home. The last
is the only legal form of marriage as
far as the bride Is concerned.
In the Greek ceremony no ring Is
used but the best man places wreath
bound with white satin ribbons on IT,
heads of bride and bridegroom. The

words OF the service. the couple W

throw small coins or tokens of gold and
silver over the welded pair, and gen.
eral scramble ensues among those pres

The lack OF success of which some
people complain in the care of fern

Our First Horses.

The first horses imported into Amer
lea, says n London journal. were taken
over by Columbus on his second voy-
age in 1883 Thirty years later forty
two horses were landed in Florida, but
they all died soon after their arrival.
De Soto, who made an expedition to
the new world in 1540-41, left number
of fine Spanish horses behind him when
obliged 10 quit the country after his
conquest of Louisiana, and this stock
is thought to have formed the founda-
ton of the wild horse of the southwest
ern states. In 1904 a French immi-
grant brought to Acadia number of
animals from which the modern Cana
dian pony is thought to be descended.
Horses from Flanders were imported
into New York in 1925.

An Unfortunate Answer.

OF an official who died as the head of
one of the Great Northern systems and
who was one of the fathers of modern
railroading the following story is told:
Once. when master mechanic, he was
staying in the country. An afternoon
walk brought him TO the edge Of cut
ting through which ran his line. On a
side track lay a waiting engine. The
fireman and engineer were smoking
placdly, while the safety valve was
giving open evidence of the size of the
fire within. AS the engine was doing
nothing in particular this waste of
coal reused the ire of the man on the
bank. "Who is your master mechanicT'
he inquired of the loating fireman.
ooh, some gray bearded, baldheaded
old blankety blank blank fool down in
Boston" WAS the cheerful answer
well" returned the other as not a
muscle of his face changed, Pm that
gray bearded. baldheaded old blankety
blank blank fool from Boston, and you
want to bank those fires. and bank
them L. ID. Or
The fireman, it is needless to say,
did as he was bid.-New York Tribune.

T.IIs of Comets.

In n memoir on the origin Of the nu-
rora borealls Professor Arrhenlus gives
n theory of the formation OF the tails
OF comets. A comet reyolves around
the sun under the influence Of the at
traction of grayitation. The comets
tail usually points directly away from
the sun as If repealed by th~t body
The force OF repulsion can be calculat-
ed. The cause of the repulsion has SO
far been unexplained. The electro
magnetic theory of light CLERK Max
well's) involves the consequence that
n pressure is produced In the direction
of the propagation of any wave OF
light. and this pressure can be calcu-
lated.
The radiant energy of the sun can
also be computed. 1t follows that the
pressure away from the sun on a body
of unit density and cubic centimeter
I'm dimension is such as to make IL lose
about one ten-thousandth part of Its
weight. Spectrum analysis shows that
the tails of comets are made up Of gas
eous hydrocarbon compounds. Rea-
sonable assumptions as to the Sizes
etc. of the molecules Of such gases
give basis for calculation. The gen
eral result is that as comet approach
es the sun the solid or liquid hydrocar-
bons of its head are vaporized by heat.
The larger particles fall toward the
sun. The very smallest are repealed
TO form the tail If the head of the
comet Is homogeneous, only one tail
will be formed; If heterogeneous, null
tiple tail.
