RIVAL TO siLKEN FANS.
Device That Looks Like an Egg
! Beater, But 1t Makes Stun
ming Draught

A man without sense of romance
has invented and patented mechani-
cal hand fan and sets it up as a rival
of the toy gauze and lace which has
been feminine weapon through un-
told ages. His fan buzzes and is not
beautiful, but it provides a steady
draft Of cool air, says the New York
Sun.
Z LIN appearance it is a cross between
an egy-beater and a gloves tretcher.
1t is made of wood and brass, and
he asserts that in expert hands it can
be made to reach speed of 5000 rev.
olutions a minute and will throw a
current Of air as far as an electric
fan of the same size.
1t works by COMPRISING in the hand
two wooden handles of glove-stretch-
erllke arrangement. A ratchet and
two small cog wheels at the end Of
the arms transmit this force to the
blades Of the fan, which are miniature
electric fan blades. Both of these are
detachable, SO that the fan may be
easily carried when not in use.
The inventor says that he has dis.
posed Of 1000 Of his hand fans in a
few months. He isn't sanguine Of it's
general adoption by the gentler sex,
but he thinks that lots of men would
use it in hot weather. Sentiment
oughtn't to play any part in comfort
seeking, he says, but he has to admit
that it generally does.

insisted. Evidently there was no doubt

1t was an awful risk. but he hoped a

LITTLE WANDERERS IN TEE MIGHTY HEAVENS.

liam Obers, at Bremen, discovered,
much to his surprise, for he was en-
gagged merely in examining the rela-
tive positions of the stars near ceres,
the second asteroid, Pallas. In 1914
Juno, the third asteroid, was discov-
cred; in 1907, Vesta; and here for the
time being, the discoveries rested. The
four little planets were believed to nave
once been part of the same mass ana
were therefore taken together as COM
pleting the law Of planetary progress
sion. There was no further discovery
until 1916, when one aSteroid was add
ed to the list. In 1S47, three more
were discovered. Since that time the
use of photography and the individual
efforts Of a certain number of "aSter-
old hunters" has brought the number
to over 500. Seven have been found
on a single Photographic plate taken
by the Harvard Observatory.
The camera, however, and the regu-
lar astronomical observer differ from
the "asteroid hunter" in that they study
the heavens without any descent to
find another of these little planets.
The hunter takes his telescope and de-
votes himself to careful examination
of a given portion of the sky with the
hope of finding an asteroid not already
known to other astronomers. II he
succeeds the new planet is eventually
given number in the "Berl1ner Jahr-
buch" and everything about 1t record
ed for the benefit of other observers.
Until recently it cost $500 year to
take care of each asteroid; that is to
say the time and labor necessary to
keep track of them amounted to lhat
in good dollars. Despite this care sew
eral have been lost and Photographic
astronomy is now trying to pick them
up again but the majority OF ASTEROIDS
are so faint that it seems likely that
some that are lost have disappeared
altogether Every new asteroid, as
has been said, has, therefore, to be
identified as a new member of the fam
lily and not an old one turned up again
"a matter of complicated astronomical
mathematics.
Vesta, the largest Of the first group
Of asteroids, has been estimated by
Prof. Pickering of the Harvard Obser-
yatory to be about 319 miles in diam
eter; the other three are perhaps two
thirds as large. The smallest of the
legion discovered later is probably less
than 10 miles in diameter, and a good
sized western farm would contain as
much territory as it's entire surface
sNea. Since the surface attraction, or,
as we call it Familiarity, the force Of
gravity, on two planets of the same
density is in proportion to their diam
eters, the imagination may picture the
distant asteroid as such a farm and
indulge an almost unlimited number of
amusing deductions. Imagine, for eX-
ample, an American family to have
emigrated to this smallest of the aster-

planets seemed to be arranged In q
automatically ordered progression.
The order would have been complete
If there had been just one more planet
visible in certain position between
Mars and Jupiter. Kepler, suggested,
as later proved to be the case, that the
planet was there only it was Invisible.
More than century later the astrono-
mer Bode enunciated a mathematical
law that reduced the respective dis
tances of the planets to terms OF the
radius Of the earths orbit, and this
law was confirmed by the finding OF
Uranus in 1771-although thrust be
added that Neptune, discovered in
1916, does not conform to it. But the
space between Mars and Jupiter is
still empty
Picturesque Investigation.
Bodies law, now generally considered
simply an interesting coincidence, led,
however, to perhaps the most pic
turesque astronomical investigation on
record The year 1900 saw at Lilien-
thai, Germany, the organization of an
astronomical society to find the missing
link in the chain of planetary pro-
gression. The Zodiac was divided be-
tween "a astronomers, and "a tele-
scopes, each in it's own territory, were
planet. At that time no primary
planet had been discovered within the
limits of the solar system. BODIES law
was, and is, wholly empirical, and the
prospect Of success was evidently very
uncertain; nor, failing of success, did
there appear to be any time limit when
the search could be considered definite
ly over So far as could then be judg-
ed the descendants of the "a German
astronomers might still be gazing at
their respective claims and wondering
when the hidden gold of the planet
would reward their efforts.
Meantime, in Palermo, Sicily, the
actual astronomical Columbus was
searching the sky, not in quest of any
particular planet but on general scien~
tific principles. On Jan. 1, 1901, Prof.
Giuseppe Piazzi noticed what seemed
to be a new star Of about the eighth
magnitude twinkling between Mars and
Jupiter. 1t was not marked on any
chart of the heavens and was in fact
not the burning light Of star but the
reflected light of the sun shining from
the surface of little planet-the first
known asteroid. It fulfilled Kepler's
prophecy and seemed, at first sight,
to prove BODIES law. 1t was named
Ceres Ferdinandea in honor Of the tu-
telary goddess and of the reigning
king of Sicily-an honor that later as
tronomers have taken from the king
and given wholly to the goddess-and
the first fruit of it's study was the dis
covery Of a second member Of the
same family.

Recently some physicians have up
held the idea that the poison Of the
rattlesnake. not conveyed as believed
by sting in it's tail, but from a little
sac in the side of it's head opened by
the action of it's foretooth, Is specific
for tetanus and experiments are under
way to confirm the belief. A humorous
view Of the idea that rheumatism can
be cured by the sting of a bee is, Of
course, tenable, but so long as so many
alleged cures are being made of physi-
cal troubles by antithetical means it
may perhaps be advisable for the mat
ter to resolve itself into scientific dis
cussion. Philosophicallly the bee has
taught us many lessons. While rheu-
matism cannot be called lazy mans
complaint it is largely due to the slug
g1shness of the important organs.
Hence If the active bee can furnish it's
antidote there should be no kick COM
