speak a good word for Peruna.n
MRS. w. b. KRAUSE.
A great many remedies for temporary
relief have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, suufts, creams and
other local applications, but, as a rule,
the medical profession has little or no
enthusiasm in the treatment Of catarrh.
It's generally pronounced by them to be
incurablc. IL therefore created great
sensation in medical circles when DR..
Hartman announced that he had de.
vised a compound which would cure CO.
tarrh permanently. The remedy was
named Pe-ru-na, and In short time be-
came known to thousands Of catarrh
sufferers north, SOUTH east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc.
runa is q radical cure for catarrh began
to pour in from all directions. Thou
sands Of such letters are on flo In tho
office Of the Pe-ru-na Medicine
Company. These letters are not
used for publication except by the ox-
press wish of the writer. A pamphlet
allied with such letters will be sent to
any address free. This book should be
read by all who doubt the durability Of
catarrh.
fyou do not receive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write at once to Or. Hartman, giving q
full statement Of your case, and he will
be pleased to give You his valuable adj
vice gratis.

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-23

Of the rediscovery Prof. G.. D. Ling of
the Chamberlin observatory, Colorado,
caught sight of the elusive Eros that
night. He Informed the Harvard astrono-
mers at once.
The Harvard college observatory discoy-
cred, not long ago, another member Of the
family of asteroids The first remarkable
thing about 1t Is Its location, very far to
the south, where no asteroid was at that
time expected The photograph was
taken from the southern station of the
Harvard observatory at Arequipa, Peru.
The little planet was in more rapid mo-
ton than any Of the stars shown on the
same plate.
Prof. Simon Newcomb, who was visiting
in Cambridge when the photograph was
received, undertook to compute the orbit
of the new asteroid. It was found to
have a greater ellipticity than any other
known planet and to approach closer to
the sun. Moving as IL around the longer
circumference Of a great football its dis
tances from the sun vary In single rev.
olution more than those of any other
member Of its wandering family. But for
this fact, however, the discovery would
have excited little interest, for astrono-
iners have already more asteroids to take
care of than are altogether welcome to
them
Within the last century something over
500 Of them have been discovered, and one
German observatory devotes itself en-
tirely to lool ing after them.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-23

mers began to devote their chief efforts
to locating it, and between 1871 and 1898
more than 400 new planets had been dis
covered by the observers
Previous to 1891 the discoveries were
made by the laborious method Of repeat
ing telescope observations time after
time until an orbit was calculated, but in
December, 1891, Max Wolf of Heidelberg
learned how to use Photographic plates
Until 1893, as far as the telescope men
knew, Mars came nearer to earth than
any other planet, but 1t was soon learned
that Eros. with a less average distance
than Mars from the sun, reached point
little more than one-third of the distance
from earth to Mars. The new body was
utterly different from all the others,
When Herr Witt saw Eros he had been
looking for a certain comet. On examin-
ing his plate he saw the trace of new
planet that travelled very rapidly. So fast
did it traverse its orbit that the little trail
left on the plate assumed a more ex-
tended length than the reflection Of any
other planet had ever produced during
an exposure Of the same length Of time.
The discoverer began at once to take
more pictures, and before long he had
calculated the new orbit. Eros was found
to be travelling course that came 45, Co.,
600 miles within the mean distance of
Mars, whose path had hitherto formed a
boundary line beyond which the minor
planets transgressed very seldom.

astronomers? Not because they hoped to
see its surface plainly or to communicate
with It's inhabitants, for 1t was found to
be only about twenty miles in diameter,
which would certainly indicate a lack of
inhabitants. The interest in the new dis
covery was due to the expectation that 1t
would enable the scientists to measure the
scale of the whole universe with more ac-
curacy than ever before. Once the dis
lance from earth to planet Is deter
mined 1t will be comparatively simple
mathematical proposition for us to learn
how far we are separated from the sun
and from other bodies.
It will be twenty-five years, say the as
tronomers, before earth and Eros are in
the relative positions where the calcula-
lions can be made most effectively. But
even now the new planet is near enough
to make every nights investigations val
liable. All the obseryatories are making
calculations.
Later the astronomers will get together
and determine what results their COM
bined efforts have achieved. It may be
that computation of the different angles
Of observation may effect the desired re-
suit before the end of the year.
The disappearance Of Eros, more than
two years after Its discovery, was re-
ported from the Harvard observatory In
May, 1901. The light Of the planet had
been growing gradually more indistinct
since the preceding February.
The second Of this month was the date
