The Two Rivals for tho Honor and How
They sprang Into Power.
st. James Gazette: Sir William Lyme,
Lord Hopetoun's first faYorite for the
premiership of all Australia, was not
born to fortune. He began life az a
squatter in Queensland. He left Tas.
mania, his native colony. in his teens. but
went back to 1t to become clerk of q
municipal council. firing of official life
and 'squatted, again on the Murray
river in New South Wales. New South
Wales has been his home ever since. He
stood for parliament and won at So, and
he became prime minister, and since then
has shown himself statesman Of
strength and ability. He has schemes for
amalgamating all the savings banks and
age.
Sir Williams rival in Sydney is tho
Hon. G. II; Reid, with whom he has
wave which swept away Sir Henry

b body can eyer forget the old leader Of
~ years and the young man Of just over
40 Sir Henry Parkes was on the edge
OF the grave; Mr.. Reid was rising into
tense tense enough. Nature stepped IN and
mans Wife, whom society" had re-
fused to recognize, lay dying and in her
last breath she pleaded with her husband
to make good fight. But it was in
vain. Every member of his party fol-
lowed him into the shadows Of defeat.
The young man had triumphed
Then, with tragic and pathetic sudden.
ness, came the end. Sir Henry declared
he would tie back IN power again In two
years. but when the two years ended he
was dead. For month or two he strug-
gled against the fate which doomed him
to political oblivion. He fought two
elections. married again and detied the
tyranny of bitter poverty. But the
grave was in sight. He became so poor
that he sold his home for bread, and
then the news flashed suddenly through
Sydney that it's old premier was dying.
Mr.. Reid was the first to call-he was
premier then. Sir Henry. unforsetful In
death, refused to see HIM. But Mr.. Reid
remained, and at last the two men met.
From that last scene the veil has not
been lifted. but when he had gone the
diving man murmured ~ am glad he
called; l am glad l saw him: had mis-
understood him Then the light flick
cred out, and the great Australian was
dead. Mr.. Reid has lived through tri-
umph and defeat since then, and he is
sure to be premier of the commonwealth
one day If he lives.

AT Present Rate of Decrease tho Sun VIII
Disappear In 17,2OO,OOO Years.
London Times: The usual Christmas
course of lectures was begun at the
Royal institution by Sir Robert Ball. The
sun, he pointed out, was the source Of
all the heat received by this earth. Now.
ii was well-known fact that most
things In cooling became smaller; a poker,
for example, was shorter when 1t was
cold than when 1t was red hot The
sun, too, must obey this fundamental law
nd must. therefore, be getting smaller
If we could measure its diameter on two
successive days we should find 1t had de-
creased nine inches-that is to say, It
was shrinking at the rate Of roughly
five feet a week, or mile in every TWEEN
ty years.
In view of this shrinkage some OF the
younger members of his audience might
feel anxious lest the sun should not last
their time. Such anxiety, however, was
eroundless; he was 100000 miles in diam
seter, so it would take 10000 years for him
to be reduced by 1000 miles to S5s,OOO.
and the lecturer was sure that IL there
were two suns in the sky, one of 500 900
miles in diameter and the other of $685.
no one would be able to tell by looking
at them which of the two was the SMALL
er. But as the sun was shrinking nine
inches every day, and had been doing so
tor ages, II followed that In the past he

But he always had the same amount OF
material in him and weighed no heavier
than at present; hence the inference was
that he was once a huge mass OF rarified
gas--a great, glowing nebula.

there has been some instruction in
that line at the summer schools main

legislature made an appropriation to
provide for special instruction i'm IL
brary work an effort was made To ex
pand their work to meet the require
ments. The library commission decided
however, that the library school pro-
Nided should go to Iowa City and be a
part of the university summer course
So there will be two schools of IL
brary work. The instruction at Cedar
Falls, however. is incidental to that OF
the teachers profession, while that at
Iowa City is to be strictly technical
