HARVARD DISCOVERIES
At THE LUNAR ECLIPSE
Crater Lime Covered With
HOarfrOst.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct- 18.-Sub-
sanitation Of important theories was
obtained by Harvard's astronomical au-
thorities in their observations of the
lunar eclipse. The observations con
ceTned themselves principally with tho
crater Lime and were carried on by
Prof " H. Pickering. who carefully
measured the area around the crater be
fore and after the eclipse with a mi
crometer, and confirmed all his past OBJ
servations that the bright spo- grew no.
ticeably IL area during the time OF
maximum darkness.
For many years it has been noticed
that the area around Lime has been
gradually changing its form, and many
.conjectures as TO the reason have Decu
advanced Prof Pickering has always
maintained that the light from the spot
IS that OF hoarfrost. though he has real
lied that 1t may be reflected light. The
fact that the spot grew perceptibly
larger when the suns heat was cut Of
last night by the interpolation OF the
Garth confirms Prof. Pickering in his
hoarfrost theory He is nov practically
settled upon that point and hopes with
this as q basis TO work out a pet theory
OF his own concerning the earth's big
satellite What this theory IS he viii
not say
As far as photographs and the making
OF OSCILLATIONS we're concerned, the Ell
forts OF HarvdTd's observers were vir-
tually failures. This was due to the
clouds which Obscured the moon during
The critical period Of its full eclipse. AMI

Was Unfair.

Des Moines, Oct. 30.-Miss Daisy
Deighton of Shenandoah, who had
charge of the quail suffrage lobby last
winter, in the state convention OF equai
suffragists here yesterday, ascrlbed
the defeat of the resolution for the sub
mission of the question 10 Speaker
Eaton. She charged that he packed
the house committee against suffrage.
She declared that Representative
Sweet OF Bremen couny had told her.
during the session. that he had come
to Des Moines for the express and
avowed intention of making record
against woman suffrage in order to
square" himself with his constituents.
and that he proposed doing it. Yet he
was made chairman OF the house com
mittee on constitutional amendments,
in which Miss Deighton declared the
suffragists did not have a fair hearing.
She referred to the fact that the propo'
sition easily passed the senate and
said that it would have gone through
the house, also, if the speaker had not
packed the committee against 1t.
Miss Deighton, out of her experience.
said that she thought the idea OF the
president. Mrs Adelaide Ballard OF
Hull. that man be employed to take

Invention Of New Lifeboat.

Two inventors who live in Stirling,
Scotland, have invented lifeboat
which is intended to become auto
matically inflated when it is immersed
in water. A spring is employed
which is kept in q state of tension or
compression by means of strip or
roll of paper, the tensile strength of
which. as long as it is dry, is sufi-
cient to maintain the spring in state
of compression. but which, when it
becomes wet by immersion in water,
Immediately loses its strength to such
an extent that it is ruptured by the
energy stored in the spring. The re-
lease of the spring causes the produc.
ton of volume of gas from mate
rails sufficient in quantity to initiate
the boat ..z. "e

by another's will.
Thirdly, I was interested In the
lion-tamer. He impressed me as be-
ing no ordinary individual---very diff
ferent from the average circus at
tache, as was Barlotti herself, and
in the evidences of love that had
seen pass between these two, I had
seemed to see reflection Of my
own, and this claimed my interest,

knowledge possessed, and by iden-
tifying the miscreant who had fired
the rope, ascertain through him his
motive. or, If he had been employed
to do the thing, the name Of his
cowardly employer.
One of the facts that I learned by
this adventure was that the stars Of
circus lived, when away from the
glare and tinsel Of their profession,
much like other people with plenty
Of money to spend.
Leaving the Garden by means of
one of the private entrances, Maubi.
keck hailed carriage. 1t was a
good one, and was drawn by team
of well-fed, sleek-looking horses, and
used every night for his own convey
ance, and we all got into it. Maubi-
keck and Nita sat together, and the
old nag sat with me, with our backs
toward the driver. She was not q
pleasant carriage companion, and
would gladly have exchanged places
with Maubikeck. The old woman
swayed back and forth. moaned,
wrung her hands, and spoke fiercely
to Maubikeck. who told her with un-
mistakable emphasis to hold her
tongue. a
Il will explain this woman's We
hemence, Signor Wilberton," said the
lion-tamer. "Pacho Maligni is hard
master and jealous man. He allows
no one but himself and those hired
for the purpose to come near Nita
Barlotti. Believe me, this is the first
time since we opened in Madison
Square Garden that l have accom-
panied the signorina to her hotel. Ma
ligni keeps her constantly under his

him to prevent others-prineipally
| myself-from coming into the pres
enee Of the signorina- That we are
enabled to be with her now is due
! solely TO the mishap which has be-
fallen Maligni. He may be dead at
this moment or seriously wounded.
That he is wounded is certain, or he
would have been on hand as usual
to take Nita to the hotel
And where does Maligni live?"
