A Small Blaze

Last Tuesday the home Of MIR.
Albert Delahoussave was threaten
ed with loss by fire. About II
O clock, the kitchen roof was dis
covered in blaze. The alarm was
sounded. and in a few moments
willing hands weie pouring buckets
of water on the flames. The Home
Fire Company made quick speed ),
and soon had a stream of water
playing. It required only few
minutes to extinguish the blaze, so
that the other fire company which
was equally as prompt but had SO
mitch farther to go. did not get a
chance to use their hose. The fire
originated from a defective flue,
but fortunately did little damage.
This fire again illustrates the great
value of the water works, and shows
the necessity of having the water
mains extended to every part OF
the town. Water works may seen
little expensive sometimes, but
when they demonstrate their use

tructive fire would certainly have
occurred, the small expense they
are to each is forgotten and we
heartily congratulate ourselves that
we have them, for it might be out

Gov. Heard is certainly to be
congratulated upon the decided
success of the Louisiana exhibit at
the Pan-American Exposition. 1t
is entirely due to him that Louis
lana has an exhibit. The lines
Democrat last week gave full ac-
count Of Louisiana fine display,
stating that the Louisiana depart
ment is one OF the biggest attrac-
tions of the Fair.
When Gov. Heard learned that
the Legislature had refused to ap-
propriate the necessary funds to
have Louisiana represented at the
nuffalo Exposition, he Immediately
took it upon himself to raise
$Io. 900 for that purpose. He
made m appeal to the citizens OF
the State and was met with a
prompt. and generous response.
The Governor appointed as COM
missioners men Of ability and judg-
ment. The result is an exhibit that
does credit and honor to the State.

founded. Prof. A. L. Clement, a
French entonlologist, has been collect

tree-toads and various insects have

The subject of an unknown planet be-
yond Neptune, about which papers were
written twenty years ago, has been re-
vived by Prof George Forbes. It is
supposed that comets are drawn into
the solar system by outlying planets,
and there are seven comets having
aphelion positions corresponding with
positions of a planet revolving about
the sun in 1000 years at 100 times the
distance of the earth. Such a planet
may have so changed the orbit of the
comet of 1854 and 1556-which failed to
reappear at the proper time in 1915
that we may be able to identify the lost
body with either the third comet Of 1874
or the second of 1912. The disturbing
planet producing this change. however.
must have mass greater than Jupi-
ter's.

The last report of the Astronomer
Royal contains, an interesting reference
to the number Of stars now within
range of human record. OF the unfver-
sal chart and catalogue the region as
signed to Greenwich is that within 26
degrees of the North Pole. and the 1900
plates required for this region are now
practically all taken. The most COM
plete previous catalogue showed only
5000 stars in this part of the heavens.
Two-thirds of the catalogue plates have
been measured, and these alone give re-
liable places for 900 stars, and sup
ply a basis for the rough estimate that
the completed catalogue of the entire
heavens will contain at least 1000. coo
stars. The chart plates, with exposures
OF forty minutes, the stars on which are
counted but mot measured, contain
about seven times as many or nearly
thirty millions for the entire heavens.
