A somewhat remarkable discovery
has been made by Or. Wolf, of Heidel
berg. He recently photographed a
nebula in the constellation Cygnus, and
the picture when developed showed a
really striking resemblance in outline
to the map Of North America, The
nebula represents the continent, and
the dark background of the heavens,
the ocean surrounding it. The nebula
narrOws just as the continent does to-
ward the south, and has a gap cores
ponding to the Gulf of Mexico. There
is also curve representing the coast
of Central America. DR.. Wolf was so
struck with the likeness that he named
it the American nebula."

Two aeronauts of Tegel Germany,
recently had thrilling experience in
a thunderstorm. They ascended in the
afternoon and having passed though
bank Of mist. the balloon suddenly
shot upward a mile or more. and then
they found that they were in the
heart of a thunderstorm, and though
they could not see any lightning, the
thunder was deafening, and they were
literally bombarded with rain, sleet
and hail. The balloon plunged about
so wildly that the car was frequently
on level with the gas bag. This con.
tinued for half an hour, when they
dropped into a wood, the branches of
the trees breaking their fall, so that
they escaped unhurt.

A physician in talking about physl-
cal breathing in the open air. Persons
that are confined by their work may
take the exercise for a few minutes
every day at an open window. He spe-
cially advises women to take to deep
breathing for the development of the
abdominal muscles. Corsets and other
modern denominations have made a con-
1ition in which the upper part of the
lungs Is taxed at the expense of the
lower, and the abdominal muscles are
brought very little into play. This ac-
counts for the accumulation of fatty
tissue where it is both unsightly and
unhealthy when in excess. Deep
breathing also develops the chest, and
.eadh day 1t will be noticed that air
may be retained longer in the lungs.

the actions of Mont Pelee and the

SAND DUNES.
Effect Being Made to Minimize Their
Evils.


Washington, d. c., Nov 1S.-For
several years the sand dunes of the
Atlantic coast have been made a sub
ject of study by the bureau of plant in
dustry of the department of agricul-
ture and number of papers have been
issued in regard TO binding
grasses. During the past summer a
study has been made ,.' determine
what trees and shrubs are most useful
in reclaiming the shifting dunes. Con
siderable damage has been done by
dunes, especially in Virginia and North
Carolina. and large dunes in several
places along the coast are threatening
life-saying stations, residences, and
club houses.
Dunes are formed by the drifting in
land of sand washed up on the shore
by high tides. The direction of the
prevailing wind determines the course
of dunes. They advance with the wind,
or, if the wind changes its direction,
as in New Jersey, they retreat and are
blown back into the sea.
Dunes which are advancing on valu-
able property may be diverted trou.
their course by building on top Of
them fences placed at an angle to the
direction of the prevailing wind,
Further drifting Of the dunes may be
prevented by planting on them beach
grass. waXberry or wax myrtle, which
hold the sand together, and the per-
manent retention of the land can be
best accomplished by obtaining as
soon as possible a dense stand of for
est trees. such as pine and oak.
Dr. A. D. Hopkins has returned from
an extended trip to Arizona, southern
California, northern Idaho, the Puget
sound country, and the black hills,
where he made investigations Of the
damage done timber by insect pests.
In the black hills about GO0,00O,OO0
board feet of yellow pine has been
killed by the pine destroying beetle,
Dr. Hopkins recently returned a re-
port on the best methods Of lessening
the damage, in which he recommended
to the department of the interior that
all live trees infested with beetles
should be cut in the winter and their
bark removed, process which kills
the insects This recommendation
has been adopted. DR.. Hopkins is in
charge Of forest insect investigation
of the division Of entomology.

Paris, Nov. 1S.-Miss Gladys Deacon,
daughter of Edward Parker Deacon,
thought by many to be the handsomest
American girl in Europe, is paying an
awful price for her attempt to gain
pure Greciau profile. AT the point
where the nose joins the forehead
there was a small scarcely noticeable
depression. An artist in an unlucky
moment told her of this and declared
that il constituted the only flaw in an
otherwise faultless GreCian profile.
She visited a specialist her nose
was operated on, and necrosis, or
death of the bone, is the result. She
sits day by day in her pretty room in
Biarritz wondering what the outcome
will be, wondering whether she shall
regain the profile for which She was
once famous or whether she is doomed
to a lifetime of ugliness through the
SLOW, relentless progress of the
disease.
Equipped as few women are, with
beauty as a birthright, Miss Deacon
was yet unsatisfied with the minute
depression in her nose. She decided
to undergo the "paratlin treatment,
which meant to inject sOlidifying oils
into the tissues for cosmetic purposes.
