COMPUTES BY NEW DEVICE.
versity, Invents . Machine for
AstrOnOmers' Use.

Prof. George Hough. head of the
astronomical department at North
western university, at Evanston, ILL.,,
is at work upon q tabulating machine,
which, when completed, will be the
only one of it's kind in the world. At
the present time astronomers have no
machine by which they can compute.
and Prof. Hough is constructing one
which can be used for almost any
kind of astronomical calculation. He
says that with this machine figure
of Is numbers can be raised to the
fourth power in 80 seconds. The posi-
tion of stars in the heavens can also
be determined for an indefinite Pc
riod by the use of this machine.
A calculating machine for astron-
omers that would work successfully
has never yet been invented. g. and
e. Scheutze invented q machine of this
kind In 1856, but 1t was mot successful,
as very few persons knew how to op-
crate it and 1t soon got out of order.
Prof. Hough made several improve
ments on it later and intends to use
many of its principles in his new ma
chine. sft

united to Sister who Hnd Been
Lost to Her for 63 Years.

After a separation of more than
half century, in which each thought
the other dead, two sisters have been
reunited and expect to pass the re-
mainder of their life together. One
is Mrs. James Quinn, whose husband
is a prosperous contractor, and the
other Mrs. Mary 'O'Neil, who has just
arrived on the Teutonic from her
home in County Cavan, Ireland. The
women and one brother are the sur.
viving children Of Owen O'Neil, who
SO years ago owned an extensive es-
tate in ireland. His wife died and he
followed her two months later. The
children were left practically helpless
and an uncle had the girls placed in
an o-p,anage. Mary was three years
old, ard Annie, now Mrs. Quinn,
was 12.
Through the kind Offices of another
urcle Annie was brought to New York
city, whore she has since lived. She
lost all track of Mary and her BROTH
ers. A few years ago she learned that
two of the brothers had died, and re-
Gently heard that the third brother
still lived in the town of his birth.
Through him she found that Mary had
been taken from the orphan asylum
IS years ago and was a servant in a
well-known family.
Mrs. Quinn at once sent money and a
ticket for her sister to come to New
York city. She met Mary on the pier
and took her to her own home, where
she now dwells in contentment.

LOOKS TO AMERICA.
Ne sAov for German woolsn Dress
Goods Industry at Heme.
Cenbination Of Circumstances Drive
It to Seek Establishment Ia More
Favorable Quarters - Chance
for American Capital.

A special TO the New York Tribune
from Warrington says: 'There 10
probably no German enterprise which
has undergone within u comparatively
short time such marked change as
the woolen dress goods industry of
this and neighboring districts. Until
1900 prosperous conditions prevailed,
but early in that year there was fall
ing of in the values of wool and WOOL
en- yarns of SO to 60 per cent. Enormous
financial sacrifices followed. The high
tariff of Russia and the establishment
of factories on large scale ct Ladze
and other places in that country, the
loss of the valuable United States mar
ket, and the decrease in exports in
Austria, England and Scandinavia are
among the causes of depression. Last
year two-thirds of the looms were idle,
nor is there any prospect of improve
ment. Of the many manufacturers
previously engaged in the dress goods
trade with our country, only seven or
eight are still left and these ship less
each season."
These statements are made by
SndIieS Neuer, consular agent at Gera,
in report to the state department.
He says further:
"Some of the prominent manufac-
turers of this and other German cities
have established branch factories in
Passias and Philadelphia, and, it ia
said, with great success. / am con.
vinced that more would follow if in

Enormous Growth Of American
Capital in Four Years.

1t is to be noted that the interest
account of Europe against the United
States is steadily diminishing, because
Americans have been using their sur
plus wealth during recent years to
buy back their own securities. The
process by which this comes about is,
of course, indirect and not perceived
by the average man. 1t represents,
none the less, one of the strongest
currents in the financial and business
world, for four years past. The great
railroad corporations, in particular
are observing the fact that, whereas
their payments of interest on bonds
and of dividends on shares of stock a
few years ago went in large proper
tion to foreign holders, they now go
in the main to people living in the
United States. The absorption of
our best American railway and other
standard securities by American in
vestors has been quite widely dis
tributed, but it has been particularly
noticeable in the case of great fnan-
cial and fiduciary institutions like
the principal insurance companies.
Furthermore, the very process and
policy of railway amalgamation has
of itself created large and deter
mined demand for railway securities
in this country on the part of the in
terests seeking to control specified
properties for the sake OF bringing
about their absorption, or else their
operation in harmony with other
companies. Our trade balances for
the past four years have aggregated
about $2,4OO, 900, ,OOO,-a sum about
equal to the total of the balances in
our favor for the preceding twenty
years. Nothing could better illus
trate the almost revolutionary nature
of the cange in Americas financial
and economil relations to Europe

CHAUTAUQUA.
July 26th to August 5th. Sixth An
nual Session to be Held on the
New Grounds.

The reorganization of The Miami
Valley Chautauqua Company made
possible the purchase and improve
ment for permanent home for these
annual assemblies. A large auditor
ium, dining hall and other buildings
will be ready for use on the opening
day. A 3-span iron foot bridge will
be erected over the river. Wells of
excellent water have been obtained.
Lots have been surveyed and will be
offered on exceedingly reasonable
terms to persons who desire to erect
cottages.
The natural grove is most delight
fully situated for the camp and fur
nishes far more shade than was had
other years. Twelve hundred trees
of forty varieties were transplanted
this spring in the front and rear of
every cottage lot and elsewhere.
The new location Immediately
north of the Franklin Hydraulic Co.'s
dam, has more than half mile frontage
on the Great Miami River, far famed
for its beauty.
The forces of nature and art appear
to be vying with each other to made
the environments of the present site
of the Miami Valley Chautauqua one
of the most picturesque in Ohio.
Natures gifts are scattered here in
rich profusion. The river at tina
place is fine body of water, broad
and majestic, tracing great and
beautiful curve on the north and east
of the grounds-said to be unsurpass-
ed for lines of beauty throughout its
course.
The program offered is without
doubt the very strongest ever offered
and the following attractions are
among the leading features:
