Insurance on Actors.

\ curious fact regarding life insurance
and star actors is made public. A clause
in the contract with "a young theatrical
star recently made in Chicago provides
that the manager shall carry an insur-
anee on the stars life to the amount Of
S1O,OOO. A manager says that this is
not unusual. Most actors are heavily
insured, although not all in favor of their
managers. As, in other professions, men
and women in the business Of entertain
ing make this provision for the future,
and some prominent players are insured
for very large amounts. 1T is -neces-
sary," said the informant, .'for the man.

Australian papers state that the expert
ment of the West Australian government
in turning domestic eats loose in the
southeastern districts of the colony to
check the invasion of rabbits from South
Australia has been pronounced success.
The felines destroyed immense numbers
Of the pests, and in some places almost
cleared the squatters' runs of rabbits. In
anticipation Of the demand which is ex-
pected for cats for this work, breeding
establishments are being started. 1t is
believed, however, that it will be found
much cheaper to import the animals from
Great Britain and European countries,
and preparations are being made fo-
some shipments.

One of the greatest needs Of astronomy
at the present time, says Prof. E. c..
Pickering. director of the Harvard Col
lege observatory, in his last annual re-
port, is large telescope mounted in the
Southern hemisphere. Nearly all the
large telescopes of the world are north
Of latitude 80 north, and only one or
two Of them are located where the con-
ditions Of the air permit work of the high
est grade to be done. The cost Of a
telescope Of the largest size would be
about 100000 and an equal sum would
be required for building and the Incl
dental expenses.
