The New Star.

The most interesting object in
the sky today is the new star in
the constellation Perseus which,
from star invisible to any but
the best of telescopes, has sud
denly become the most conspic-
uous object in the heavens. So
brilliant has it become that on
Sunday last the astronomers
were able to see it in bright sun.
light at 1 p. IN. through a teles-
cope of only twoinches aperture.
The vastly changed conditions on
the surface of this star that must
account for it's suddenly increas-
ed brillinacy but few compre-
hend. This star is in no way
greatly different from our own
sun and may possibly be accom-
panied by train of planets as is
our own star. What may be the
conditions-or what may have
been the conditions-on these
possible planets it is of course
impossible to conjecture. We
can family imagine, however,
what the change in the central
body of that system as indicated
by the stars rapid increase in
magnitude may mean to the
satellites. In our own solar
system conditions on the surfaces
of the planets vary greatly. Ju-
piter, for instance, would support
no life in any form of which We
have knowledge, it's entire sur
face being at temperature far
too high. From such a condition
there are doubtless planets in all
stages of heat and cold until the
conditions of our own moon is
reached-no atmosphere, no wat
er-absolutely dead. But what
ever the conditions on the surface
of these possible planets may have
been, the sudden and enormous
increase in the heat and energy
Of the central body of the system
must have brought instant and
terrible changes. Imagine, for
instance, what would be the eff
feet upon the earth should the
suns power be increased even a
hundred times. But in the case
of this star its heat and brilliancy
have increased 10000 times in the
space of two days. Such as a
change in our solar system would
mean the extinction of every form
of vegetable and animal life.
This change has come to the star
in Perseus. 1t is not impossible
that a similar change may come
to our central star at any time.
Had the late Prof. Shriver been
living he would have given the
readers the benfit of his personal
observation of this star.

Among other business intro
duced into the State Legislature
at the present session is a bill
providing for the Capitalization of
the public schools in each town
ship by the erection of one or
more buildings, to which the di-
rectors Of the township must fur
nish transportation for all pupils
who live more than three-fourths
Of a mile from the school. This
measure has been favorably re-
ported upon by the Educational
Com mittee. In Ohio and Illinois
Where similar laws have been
enacted much success has been
achieved, and its proposed intro
duction into this State will attract
considerable attention among
citizens, both those who approve
ard those who disapproyeof better

Luckiest Railroad man on Record

Samuel j. Hill, who has just re-
tired from the service of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
after fifty consecutive years
work, boasts that he is the luck
lest railroad man on'record. All
the time Of his service he was a
night watchman at Greensburg,
Pa During the fifty years he
spent 13, 900 nights without sleep,
walked 142, 500 miles inpursuance
of his duty, and never had an ac-
cident of any kind. In 1871 he
stopped the Philadelphia Express
on the edge of a washout and saw
ed 200 lives. He is especially
proud of the fact that, in all this
time, Notwithstanding many temp
tations, an oath has never pass
ed his lips. He has never smok-
ed or chewed tobacco, and for
more than forty years he has
been teetotaler. His beat has
never been more than five miles
from his home and he has never
been either criticised or promoted.

Invaded Beer Joint and Smashed
 Everything in Sight.

Warren, April 17.-A depository of controband liquors was. Saturday evening, invaded by small party of ladies, and in a few minutes a num- Der of jugs of whisky and bottles of beer were completely demolished The ladies went to work with a will, and S good sized stock of liquors was soon put out of the way. The place where the liquors were found has for some time been suspected of being a depos- itory for what is called the Beer Club, and the frequent visitations of boys and young men to the place be- came so public that the ladies took the matter III hand and did what they say the town authorities should have done long since.
