There is a satisfaction in learning the
names and positions of the stars that
does not belong TO the study of the
planets. The stars apparently never
change SO far as their position relative
to each other is concerned. The plan
cts are always moving, and to those
who do not watch the heavens with
particular attention it is a cause of sur
prise very often to find new star"
adjoining a certain section Of the heay-
ems. If, however, this newcomer be
carefully observed from night to night,
it will be found to change its distance
from the fixed stars, and the observer
will discover that it is Il planet and at
liberty to wander about from place to
place. under the sole condition that it
,obeys certain rules of motion. When
the bright stars that grace the heavens
become familiar to observers, they will
know just what to expect on each sue
ceeding season.

Gas stoves should never be used in
sleeping rooms. They give n stuffy,
close feeling which is most unpleasant,
while an open fireplace encourages ven
tilation and thus makes the air pure
and fresh and is most agreeable. Chill
drens sleeping rooms are better with
out fires at night, unless the weather
is cold or very damp. They should be
lighted early, not just before bedtime.

More to His Institute for
Medical Research.

New York, Feb. 23.-It is announced
by DR.. L. Emmett Holt, the secretary,
that the Rockefeller institute for med
ical research, which John D. Rookie
Teller founded two years ago, had re-
ceived quietly from Mr.. Rockefeller
last summer gift of 81 ,o0O, 900, in adj
dition to the foundation gift of $780,

beginning to provide for the organiza-
ton of the institute. DR.. Holt also an
nounced the detailed plans of the prof.
ect, so far as they have been de-
termined. These plans embrace q
scheme for an institution Of medical
and pathological research which, it is
said, will be without an equal in this
country and unexcelled in any country
in the world. The gifts of John. D.
Rockefeller. to the institute thus far,
aggregating $1,000; 900, are considered

Because of Washington's birthday fall

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 23.-Dele-
gates to the American Bowling con-
|gress are arriving on every train. Fiji
teen hundred visitors are expected and
one-haH that mum Der is already here.
Representatives of Louisville, Cleve-
land and Milwaukee are here to urge
their claims for the next national con-
Egress. Chicago and New York came in
Sunday evening, the latter delegation
being headed by DR.. Timmr Thomas
Curtiss and Joseph Thumb. Mayor
Tier, president Of the congress,
has surrounded himself with local re-
ception committee of 200 prominent
citizens, who are devoting their entire
time to receiving and. making conf ort-
able the arrivals. There is congra tu-
lation over the fact that the congress
this year has brought an apparent
spirit of compromise among the dele
gates, and it is believed there will be no
split in the national organization. It
is stated the delegates are, as rule,
business men and of higher grade
than has generally attended former
cation that sport is being elevated and
that bowling has become strictly gen.
.tlemen's game.
=. The congress will meet this morning
at nine o'clock. The adoption of a
constitution will be the first business.
It is proposed to change the constitu-
ton to make the basis of representa-
ton by states instead of by tourna-
ments in order. to recognize state or
carnations. AS to the use of loaded
balls, President Boolwalter says the
decision will probably be a. compro-
mise allowing loaded balls, but limit
ing the weight to 17A pounds. The
selection of officers and the place of
the next convention will take place
Thursday. Cleveland, Milwaukee and
Louisville are after the convention.
Chicago wants Frank Pasdeloup. elect
ed president. Milwaukee's claims will
be presented by Charles F. Moll, who
heads the delegation. Louisville will
be urged by Judge Thomas r. Gordon,
of that city.

TRADE REVIEW.
Movement of Merchandise IL Re.
tarded by the storms-Condi-
tiOns Generally Hopeful.

New York, Feb. CIR. G.. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
''Just as the railway congestion be-
gan to give way before the vigorous
efforts of traffic managers, the stu
alton became further complicated by
the worst snowstorm of the season,
and the movement of merchandise
was again interrupted. Latest fig
ures of gross earnings show the usual
gains, February thus far surprising
by 17.6 per cent. last year, when I'M
usual delay was caused by severe
storms, and 1901 by 17.6 per cent. In
creased cost of operation, however,
necessitated further advances in
rates. Trade was interrupted to a
considerable extent by the inclement
weather except in certain seasonal
BILE lines, notably heavy wearing ap-
parel. Wholesale houses dealing in
staples have received liberal orders
and much forward business has been
placed. Jobbers urge quicker ship
ments on old orders while travellers
send in many new contracts.
Failures for the week numbered
PAT in the United States, against $50
a year ago, and 26 in Canada, as COM
pared with 81 last year."
Bradstreet's says: "Wintry wealth
er has retarded but not checked
spring jobbing trade, which, despite
drawbacks, is still far in advance of
a year ago. Retail business has been
more noticeably affected, and buying
has been lessened temporarily. This
has also further accumulated the
favorable side of the weather stu
alton is unquestionably the heavy
snow which has covered the entire
surplus producing winter wheat belt,
putting that plant temporarily, at
least, beyond danger from season
able changes. Other developments of
the week have been mostly favorable
The price situation indeed, taken as
a whole, is remarkable one. Coun-
try produce, particularly butter and
eggs, has displayed exceptional
strength, while the great majority
of staples retain all their old steadi.
