Tn. Nebul. Around Nov. ro-.el.

Sir Norman Lockyer, in making
some comments upon recent observa-
tions of the nebula discovered sur
rounding Nova Persei, explains the
rapid motions observed in parts of the
nebulosity by supposing a nebula to
be invaded by system OF many
swarms of meteorites. Ths principal
collision might, he says, give rise to
the star. Minor collisions in various
parts of the original nebula might
cause feebler phenomena of the same
general sort at the points of impact.
A, B. c, d, etc The effect at A might
die out before that at B began, and so
on. Hence the observed successive
changes of position of the bright
masses might not be due at all to the
actual interference of luminous mat
ter from place to place, but simply to
successive impacts whose effects die
out rapidly. These remarks are in
agreement with Sir Norman's meteor
itic hypothesis of new and variable
stars

An improvement of the Goldschmidt
process of welding and casting metals
adapts it to the unskilled workman.
The crucible is of iron, with a refrac-
tory lining, and the bottom is closed
by one or more small iron plates, the
top having an iron cover, with fuse
hole in the center. A substantial tri-
pod is used as support. The crucible
Is charged with "thermit' mixture,
which consists of powdered aluminium
for each pound of its weight may
yield nearly half a pound of molten
metal, and on this is placed a kindling
material connected with the fuse.
Within few seconds after the fuse is
lighted, the contents of the crucible
become fluid from the heat of the OK
ldlZ1ng aluminium. The reduced iron
FROM the oxide melts the supporting
iron plates and passes through the
bottom into a refractory mold, the
special advantage of the new method
being the holding back of the corun-

Award of the copIey Med.l.

The highest honor of the Royal So
ciety of London is the Copey medal
awarded this year to Prof. Willard
Gibbs of Yale University. He was the
first to apply the second law of ther-
modynamics to the exhaustive discus
sion of the relations between chemical,
electrical and thermal energy and ca
pacity for external work. During
the last few years the recognition of
this law has led to a complete system
atization of our knowledge concerning
dissolution Of solid substances. the
distribution of a solute between two
immiscible solvents and to the for
nation of double salts and also of ra-
cemic, pseudo-racemic. non-racemic
and externally compensated sub
stances. The phase rule has been ap-
piled with complete success to the ex-
planation of the formation of oceanic
salt deposits. and it is, in fact, appli-
cable to ell cases of reversible chem
ical interchange and consequently to
chemical change generally.

Obituary..

Sugden-Lena D. Hendel, daughter of
VIM. and Sophia Hendel, was born in
Vernon township, Mich, Feb. %, 1862,
She became the wife of Orson Sugden,
Oct. 10, 1888, taking also the place of
mother to his motherless boy, Claude,
now grown to manhood. One child,
Ward Earl, has blessed their home, and
is now left without mothers caro-.
She passed away at her late home in
Shiawassee township, April 8, leaving
behind a sorrowing husband, bereft
home, and host of friends who mourn
the loss of kind and sympathic friend
and neighbor.
She became christian when twelve
years of age, and united with the Maple
River Baptist church in 1877, and has
since lived an exemplary christian life,
and has been an inspiration to all who
knew her and who came to recognize
her beautiful character and loving dis
position. She leaves behind her, in the
heart of all her friends, an example of
true christian womanhood, and earnest
conservation to the cause of her Master.
The funeral services were held at her
late home on Thursday, April 10, con-
Quoted by her pastor, Edwin G. Myers,
assisted by her former pastor, E. M.
Blanchard, and attended by a large con-
course of friends and neighbors, who
sorrow because of her going and heartily
sympathize with the members of her
bereaved home, from which the bright
ness and sweetness of her presence is
forever removed, while the home beyond
is made more attractive because she has
gone to enjoy its supreme blessedness

Stanlake-Post.

At the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Q. D.
Horton, in Owosso township, on the
evening Of April 9th, occurred the
marriage Of their niece, Miss Della
Post, to Mr.. Fred Stanlake. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. j. p.
Warner, OF the First M. e. church,
Owosso, in the presence of few rela-
tives and intimate friends of the
family. At precisely six o'clock the
bridal couple were ushered into the
parlor accompanied by Mr.. j. Hire, of
Owosso, as best man, and Miss Carrie
Dennison, of Durand, as bridesmaid.
The wedding march was played by Miss
Donna Morton, Of Owosso.
The house was prettily decorated,
an arch of evergreens and natural
flowers, under which the bridal party
stood during the ceremony, being the
most striking. The shades were
drawn and lamps were lighted, throw.
ing a soft glow Ger the pretty scene.
After the ceremony an elegant supper
was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stanlake received a
number or beautiful presents. Among
the guests from a distance were Mrs.
Horizons aged mother, Mrs. Mary
Post, OF Dansvlle, and Mrs. Nora
Dean. Of Lansing. Mr.. and Mrs. STAN
lake did not take wedding trip, but
began housekeeping at once In their
home In Owosso township.

To Keep Ants Away.

If annoyed excessively by swarms of
ants which infest the bottling table,
syrup pals, and everything about the
place, it is recommended that balsam
Peru be used. Rub thin film of it
around near the bottom of the table legs
and renew the application about once in
three weeks. This will keep them
away. One drop of the balsam spread
around the top of syrup measures will
keep them out. Boil one ounce balsam
Peru in one gallon of water for thirty
and sponge this water while
hot over wooden floors and walls and it
will keep ants away for long time.

creamery success. Why in this great
state of Michigan there are not one
dozen creameries today that are what
would be called financial success
Whyg because of lack of cows and lack
of the kind of men who make dairying
a success. / am afraid if you had the
milk of every farmer around your
fifteen factories that still you would fall
miles behind the sugar factory in the
farmers estimation. You certainly
would in Owosso's. But better, combine
your dairy and your beets, let your
dairy enrich your land and raise beets
too, let one hand help the other Why
do you advise winter dairyingY true,
Elk. Gov. Hoard, of Wisconsin, some
years ago advocated it very strongly in
his dairyman and he was right, with
creameries at IA cents in June and 80
cents in December, and low priced grain
of all kinds in winter but you don't
find your up-to-date farmer advocating
it nowadays, with fresh grass and 20
cent creamery in June as against 90
cents for corn, 40 cents for oats and
high priced grain and hay, together with
the cold disagreeable work and "a cents
for butter in January. That day has
passed or rather the western farmer
took up Gov. Hoard's idea and adopted
it so thoroughly that winter dairying is
already over done. From your stand
point l can readily see that it would be
a big help to the creamery itself by
paying expenses, but not to the farmer.
Right here is where 1 say the hand
separator and the big plant, such as l
have at Owosso, show heavy saving to
the farmer in every way: in coal, in
labor, in every economy that goes to
make up the success of any creamery
and by saving l mean an increased
price to the farmer for his cream.
Again thanking you, 1 remain glad to
meet you at any time,
E. f. DUDLEY.

LETTER FROM ENSIGN HARRIS.

He Wrote Just Before. Reaching the
PhiIippines-Sailed on the "Em-
press Of China"
Mr.. and Mrs. William Harris have
received the following letter from
Ensign Thomas d. Harris:
At Sea, March IA, 1902.
We are now crossing the Yellow Sea
on our way to Shanghai where we will
arrive early tomorrow morning. We
left Yokohama on the 18th and stopped
in at Kobe and Nagasohi for few
hours at each place-long enough for
us to go ashore and see quite little Of
the city.
The ship was coaled at Nagasaki
and it was one Of the greatest sights
of the trip. We dropped anchOr.about
4:30 p. M, and the coal lighters were
brought along side with four hundred
japanese men and women to put the
coal aboard. Several ladders are at
tached to the sides of the ship and the
coal is passed up these ladders from
the lighters in baskets holding good
sized shovelful of coal, and these
baskets are passed so quickly that they
appear to be continuous stream.
The coaling was finished at ten o'clock
when we had gotten over nine hun.
dred tons aboard. The Japs get thirty
sens day (l5c American money for
their pay.
The Empress is fine boat-quite
little larger than the "DOric," al.
though she has very small passenger
list this trip. There are only about
twenty cabin passengers. 1t is a
magnificent trip from Yokohama to
Nagasaki through the inland sea. The
ship is never out of sight of land and
generally the shore is only few miles
away-sometimes less than a mile.
There are thousands OF small islands,
all mountainous, and the scenery is
wild and grand. The sea is so well
protected that it Is almost as smooth
as river. The weather was just cold
enough to be bracing, and every thing
considered, the trip has been perfect
the only trouble is that there are SO
few aboard to enjoy it. We will be at
Shanghai all day tomorrow SO that we
will have an excellent chance to see
the city. Two of the passengers who
were on the "Doric" are staying in
Shanghai and / hope to see them
there.
We get into Hong Kong on the 10th,
but as yet do not know when l will
sail for Manila. There is possibility
OF my being stationed on shore at
Manila, but, of course, 1 will not know
anything definite until reach there,
Will write again at Hong Kong. With
much love and best wishes, / remain.
yours, Tom.
