A FLYING Star.

On a summer evening you may see
Arcturus high up in the south or south
west in June or July and farther down
in the west in August or September.
You will know it by it's red color. That
star has been flying straight ahead
ever since astronomers began to OBJ
serve it at such a speed that it would
run from New York to Chicago In a
small fraction of a minute. You would
have to be spry to rise from your
chair, put on your hat and o%vercoat
and gloves and go out on the street
while it was crossing the atlantic
ocean from New York to Liverpool.
And yet If you should watch that star
all your life, and live as long as Me-
thuselah, you would not be able to
see that it moved at all. The journey
that it would make in a thousand years
would be as nothing alongside Its dis
tance.-Professor Simon Newcomb IN

People Who Have Died From the ~

In an article on the stings OF wasps
a British medical journal cites the W
following cases which have come I'M
der its notice: i strong, healthy girl of
q was stung on the neck by a wasp
and tainted. On regaining conscious
ness she complained of a general feel

dominal pain. She ecovere In the
course of a few hours. Two months
later she was stung again. this time on

she again complained of numbness and
blindness, suddenly became very pale,
tainted and died % minutes after she
was stung.
Another case was that of a girl of ~
years, who was stung by a wasp be-
hind the angle of the jaw. The sting
was at once extracted II ammonia

| planned of faintness and would have
| fallen if she had not been supported.

! great anxiety, and a few minutes later
she was tossing on he bed complain
ing of a horrible feeling of choking
[ and of agonizing pain in the chest and
abdomen. Brandy gave no relief. There
was nausea, but no vomiting. She
rapidly became insensible and died 10
minutes after receiving the sting. The
most probable explanation of such
cases seems to lie in what is known as
idiosyncrasy--that is, abnormal sensi-
~tiveness in particular individuals to
certain toxic agents. 1t is well known
that drugs vary much in action on diff
ferent people. What is a safe dose for
one is dangerously large for another.
The inability of some people to eat
strawberries or shelltish is another In
stance of the same phenomenon. The
active agent of bee stings is generally
believed ia be formic acid. 1t therefore
seems very desirable that we should
have more accurate information re-
garding the action of this drug ON diff
ferent species of the lower animals
and through them on man himself

them are so tame that they will climb
to my shoulder and display not the

haven't acquired so much faith In all
humanity, however, and have refused
to trust any one else so far.
"While mice eat a great deal for an
animal so small when food is abun-

long time with next to nothing. Any

tons, through which he patiently
gnaws a path. AS a test of persistence
in this line I hung a basket OF food
from the ceiling by a rope and after
a weeks fast placed a mouse at a hole
in the ceiling above the basket. He
descended some eight feet or more or

Mr.. President this is an impor-

the people seem to pay very little

cultivate small patch of potatoes,

farmers should grow them upon a
large scale, while every family ha-
wing land to cultivate should have
their own bank of potatoes to last
them the whole winter season with
an abundance for their table and
for their domestic animals and
poultry. They are cheap crop
to grow, costing but little outlay
of money or labor and yield large
returns. We are right in the sea-
son now for late planting the vines.
For this years crop plant any sort
