The country is likely to be flooded with White House souvenirs. Enter prising individuals have carried away from the debris that has come out of the old mansion a considerable quan- tity of bearus, jOistS, boards, and even lathS from the walls. Out of these they intend to turn canes, minia- ture Washington monuments, paper weights, etc, and put them on the market.

Old Worlds and New Ones.

Popular Science Monthly.
We must look to the collar system Tor
examples OF stars In the last stage OF de-
veIopment. Each of the planets may In
fact be regarded as an object OF this Kind.
The bare and rocky surface OF the moon
affords a desolate picture of what may re-
suit from this long-continued process OF
condensation. The volcanic region which
is shown to excellent advantage In pho
tograph recently taken with the Yerkes
telescope. gives no evidence Of the exist
ence of life; in fact the spectroscope in
dicates that II there is any air on the
moon 1t Is much too rare to support life
as we know II.
Fortunately, the moon Ii not the only
example of a worn-out star. THE earth,
which probably has many counterparts In
the universe, is another example of les'
desolate kind. Here. though the process
of condensation which is the chief cause
OF celestial phenomena has ceased, the
problem of evolution has not ended. In
fact though the cosmical problems which
we have considered In their barest ele-
ments will not be completely solved fol
centuries, II may be truly said that thu
questions raised by the countless living
organisms in single drop Of ditch watel
are still more complex. and will require Z
still longer time for their solution.

nesota a man who is life prisoner is
civiily dead. The only way he can make

the three members OF the. Board OF Con-
troll. separately or as whole, will agree
to enter into marriage contract with
any woman for the benefit Of the paroled
life convict.
The only way for Jim Younger to be-
come a married man In Minnesota is to
get a pardon. Another phase Of the law
is that neither Jim Younger nor his

ness OF their own as has been contem-
plated. can be held for any debts which
