Specializing.
NEW YORK, April ia special to
the Times from Boston says:
Eros, the little planet that has been
watched so closely by astronomers late
ly on account of it's nearness to the
earth has recently taken an additional
interest. Until within a short time
Eros has been observed simply on ac-
count Of it's position, by means of
which it is hoped to determine more
closely the distance between the earth
and the sun. This spring the planet
has shown marked changes in light
and is the first of the asteroids in
which variation of light has been firm
ly established.
1t has been found by the Harvard
observers that the intensity Of the
light changes sometimes two or three
times in as many hours. This is ac-
counted for in two ways: Some as
trcnomers think that one side of the
planet is dark and the other light and
that as it ~revolves first the light and
then the dark side is presented to the
watchers on earth; other observers, and
especially those in Europe believe that
the planet is double and that the two
spheres so revolving around one an
other first present their combined light
and then only the light of one. The
planet is believed to ~revolve in five
hours,

The Outcasts: A Tale of the North.
west.

Mr.. w. A. Fraser, author of Moos.
wa and others, has just written fol-
early publication in The Saturday
Evening Post short, stirring serial,
entitled The Outcasts.
The Outcasts are an, old, buffalo
and a wolf-dog, and the greater part
of the story is about the strange CON-
radeship and striking adventures of
these companions, and their pilgrim
age. in company, to. the distant plains
of the deep grass. Of which the wolf;
dog knew.
There are action, strength of word
and phrase in the story, and the
touch of the soil and the music and.
charm and sombreness of the forest.
The rush of the frencied;buffalo herd
to death is told with spendid drama
tic power. The plan Of the book is a
unique conception, and it is worked
out on novel and entertaining lines
