Tie Yale Observatory has recently
been equipped with a device for de-
termining the velocity of any meteors
whose trails are photographed. 1t
consists of bicycle wheel, carrying
on its periphery a number of opaque
screens, so adjusted that on rotating
the wheel the lenses Of the photo
graphic cameras are obscured for def
mite intervals. By employing two sets
of apparatus at stations some distance
apart. in this instance nearly two
miles, sufficient data may be secured
to enable the speed to be calculated.
In five Instances the deduced speeds
ranged from twenty TO twenty-four
Miles per second.
Tue wheel is revolved by means of a
small motor. making from thirty to
fifty revolutions per minute. The ex-
act number is automatically recorded
with great accuracy to permit Of the
determination of its speed.

The preference Of the English people
for the name Edward VII. over Albert
|. is easily understood
Albert has never been a royal name
In England, and not often on the Con-
tinent. 1t has no great associations
anywhere. The name Edward is bound
up with the greatest events of English
history.
Even before the Conquest the laws of
Edward the Confessor became the
standard by which men judged the
state of their liberties for the next
century and a half.
After the Conquest Edward I. be-
came the greatest of all English SOW
ereigns. He may be called the father
of the English Constitution. with it's
distribution of the powers Of govern
ment among King, Lords and Com
mons, and he was great administra-
tor and great general as well.
Edward III. was weak, but Edward
III. was ruler Of good character and
ability, and the most splendid military
triumphs in English history-the vic
tories Of Crecy and Poitiers-illumin-
ated his reign. The credit for them
belonged. however. to another Edward,
his famous son, the Black Prince.
Edward ". was a dashing adventur-
er, whose meteoric flights on and off
the throne in his struggles with Hen
ry VI. Queen Margaret and Warwick
give dramatic interest to the Wars of
the Roses.
The sad fate Of the little Edward ".
murdered with his brother by his
wicked uncle, the ogre Richard III, in
the Tower, has a place in all children's
story books along with the touching
tale of the Babes in the Wood"
Finally Edward W., who died at
sixteen, showed such precocious prom
Use that his people could imagine any
thing possible if he had lived.-New

Aa article in Harper's Weekly con-
tains some remarkable figures on the
fruit growing industry in America. In
1914 only one-half barrel of raisins
could be found in New York City to
make pudding to celebrate the peace
treaty The previous year California
alone shipped over 1OOOO0Ooo pounds
of raisins. Only 20 years ago all the
strawberries eaten in New York City
were grown in Long Island and New
Jersey. Now the strawberry country
includes Florida. and the strawberry
season begins in November and ends
in August. A single Georgia peach
orchard numbers as high as 10000
trees. The government has never Sc
cured an adequate census of the entire
fruit trade of the United States. The
author Of the article in question thinks

An empioye of the census office at
Washington says that many ludicrous
misunderstanding occurred while the
count of the people was in progress.
Among the queries on the blanks fur
nished to the enumerators was one
which was indicated thus: Length of
Residence" This was expected to
show how long each person had lived
in the place where he resided when the
census was taken; but when the re-
ports came in it was found that some
of the enumerators had misunderstood
the nature of the question and had an
swered it in figures-"20x40," "76 feet"
etc. Evidently they had measured the
length of the residences of the people
they counted.

A muddy river betokens one of the
greatest of national losses. 1t means
that the rich soil, which Jack Frost
and other natural agencies have been
ages in forming. is washing away into
the ocean. Tillers of the land could 90
much TO prevent the loss by keeping
the ground on hillsides covered with
trees or with sod. 1t is the cultivated
Held on a slant which washes away
most rapidly. 1t is contrary to public
policy, or at least to the welfare of
the future, that the top soil of such
land should be sent down to the ocean
when it might be yielding grass crops.
Many rivers that are now muddy were
clear before the coming to this con
tinent of civilized man.

While few people believe the tradition
that tomatoes produce cancer. yet 1t
cannot be denied that a stigma has
been attached to the fruit by the old
superstition. DR.. Susanna w. Doods,
of st. Louis, explains its origin, for
which she asserts DR.. Dio Lewis was
responsible. The facts she learned
from one of his patients. In the early
season, while tomatoes were still
scarce, DR.. Lewis's patients in his
sanatorium clamored for them, and to
save the trouble OF finding the fruit he
told them that tomatoes caused can

In spite of the promise of the peace
conference at The Hague, the man
who invents effective Instruments of
war is not less renowned in this day
than is the prophet of peace. Britain's
Queen has knighted Hiram Maxim, the
child of Maine. whose automatic fire.
arms have added enormously to the
destructive power of the worlds

America, Mr.. Maxim found Great
Britain a more promising field of oper-

years residence there (durng which
he acquired large fortune) he was
naturalized as British subject.

The Pioneer plantation has let a con-

reservoirs for the purpose of utilizing the
waste waters of freshets. It is the in
tention of the plantation to construct at
least fifteen of these large reservoirs,
which, when completed, will save the

the pumps, besides supplying fresh
mountain water to overcome the excess
of salt in the pumped water.
