From Star to Nsbuls.

Some of the astronomical photog-
'aphs made at the Harvard observa-
sory reveal the fact that in April, 1889.
new star appeared in the constella-
ion Aquila. At first its spectrum re-
Iembled the spectra of other new stars
but in October a photograph showed
hat the character of the light had
changed. and now its spectrum was
that of a gaseous nebula. Last sum-
ner a telescope observation OF this
curious object was made by Professor
Wendell at Cambridge. and he con-
irmed the evidence of the photograph
showing that it had become a nebula-
Such occurrences are rare. and one ex-
PLANTATION OF them is that they are the
result of collisions in space, the heat
developed being sufficient to turn solid
matter into gas and vapor.

During the long run of Hearts Are

society people to go on with the "su-

Of the thing, and some Of the boys have
gone SO far as to even offer to pay
for the privilege. Several young fel-
lows stopped number Of the regular
'supers" at the stage entrance the
other night and purchased from them
their tickets, which entitle them to
admission to the stage and on which
they get their money at the end of the
week. Andrew Mack, whose company
was resting last week. was one
of the "supers" early in the week
and was having a lovely time OF it
until some Of the "supers' recognized
him. At the Wednesday matinee sew

THE INVESTIGATION
All WEST POINT

West Point, n. Y, Jan. 10.-The con-
gressional committee will probably fin
ish the investigation ut the military
academy tomorrow.
Cadet A. J. Lynch Of New York was
thoroughly examined to-day by the
committeeman, as he is looked upon as
the authority on fighting at the acade-
my. When General Dick began to
question him he became argumentative
and shook his finger at the chairman
several times when parrying some of
the generals mild reproofs.
At tines he leaned across the table
which separated him from the chair
mans table while he spoke in an inso-
lent manner to the general. He upheld
the West Point fighting code, and de-
clared that he would fight any man of
his size and weight, and said that any
man who would not do likewise was
not fit to join the army.
For the first time during the investi-
CATION it was shown to-day that there
are cadets in the first class who, from
the time they came here as "plebes"
have been opposed to haZing and fight
ing. Cadet Francis w. Clarke of Illi-
noIs testified to this, and said that these
practices should be abolished. He was
complimented by Mr.. briggs, who said
that Clarke was a credit to the acade-
my.

Utiiiriny Refuse from Glass Works.

For several years scientists and
chemists have been conducting expert
ments and researches, with a view to
discover means OF utilizing immense
heaps of spent sand and glass, dis
carded as refuse by the plate glass
manufacturers. Messrs. Pilkington
Brothers, who are probably the largest
glass manufacturers in Great Britain.
have an accumulation of l, 500 900 tons
of this residue at their works at St
Helen. in Lancashire, and over 1900
tons are added to this huge pile every
week. The question of the profitable
disposal of this waste has long occ,-
pied their serious attention. DIR. Or
mondy, however. has discovered
means of converting this refuse into
serviceable bricks. He has subjected
some of the bricks that he manufac-
tured from this material to very severe
tests. The experiments have been en-
inently successful, and bricks manufac-
tured from this waste will soon be
placed upon the market. The process
is said to be economical and cheap.
The bricks are said to be of the high
est quality. and particularly adapted to
special operations, besides ordinary
building purposes, for which bricks
have not hitherto been proved service

Frank Roster of Berlin, has devised
means to enable passengers to board a

The auxiliary track consists of three

increasing speed. The auxiliary track
Is parallel to the main line and may be

train passes over the middle section

Birth of tho yellowstone River.

Recent studies of the geology OF
Yellowstone Park have led to the
opinion that the waters of Yellow
stone lake, now the head of the Tel-
lowstone river, once flowed on south
ward into the Snake river. At that
time a comparatively small stream fol-
lowed the course Of the magnificent
Yellowstone canyon, which had not
then been excavated to its present great
depth. The head of this stream gradu-
ally gnawed its way back until 1t cut
the divide enclosing the basin of the
lake, and by thus diverting the waters
of the lake formed the Yellowstone
Siver.

Use for Apple Refuse.

Nearly all the liners now leaving the
port Of Philadelphia for Germany and
Great Britain carry In their holds hun.
dreds of barrels and hogsheads of ap.
pie waste. Apple waste is the peelings,
cores and other refuse of apples. 1t
is gathered from the manufacturers OF
apple butter and kindred compounds.
and in England and Germany MARINA
lade and wine are made of 1t. A very
palatabe apple wine is imported thith-

 ces-Large Audience Present.
 The musicale and reading called the Daisy Chain given under the auspices of the Elm City Kindergarten associa- tion last evening in the United church chapel, was a very entertaining one, and was attended by large and appre- ciative audience. The programme con- sisted of readings by Professor Wetzel, and vocal selections by a quartet com posed of the following: Miss Florence Loomis, sdprano; Miss Louise Daniker, contralto; Walter Schneeloch, tenor, and William F, Morgan, jr baritone. This quartet sang several very pleasing numbers, and each received an encore. The different members of the quartet sang solos.
 The readings by Professor Wetzel were of the most entertaining charac- ter, and he kept the members of the audience in constant laughter while he was on the stage,
 The accompanist for the evening was Mrs. A. Heaton Robertson. The enter tainment was given for the benefit of the three missions that are maintained by the Elm City Kindergarten associa- tion, and a very snug sum was realized for tAe cause.

HAS A CONNECTICUT CHARTER
The Dry Goods Combine Organized by

The Dry Goods Combine Organized by
 J. P. Morgan & Go.
 Hartford April 10.-The Associated Merchants company the organization which has taken over the dry goods business of several large New York houses, obtained it's name from the present Connecticut legislature early in the session by the passage of a resolu- tion changing the title of the Colum- bian Construction company to the As sociated Merchants company.
 The Columbian Construction compa- ny secured it's charter in 1893, the orig inal incorporators being Charles A. Williams, William J. Brennan, Augus- tus Brandegee and Frank B., Brande- gee. all of New London, and the pus- pose as outlined in the charter was quite different from that to which it has been applied under the change of name. The construction company's capitaliza- ton was given as $20,000,000
 The charter of the Columbian Con- struction company authorized the com- pany to engage in any business from the construction and operation of a steam railroad, the establishment of a bank or steamship line to the running of electric roads or the conduct of a manufacturing business.
 The resolution changing the name of the Columbian Construction company to the Associated Merchants company was reported favorably by the commit tee on corporations on January "A. Un- der suspension of the rules 1t was pass ed by the house and senate and trans mitted to the secretary of state. It was approved the same day.
 The Associated Merchants company paid to the state of Connecticut the sum of $20,000 in incorporation fees. 4
 It is said here on good authority that J. Pierpont Morgan, who is Connecti- cut born, insisted upon the company being incorporated in this state as a condition of his financing the scheme.
