Town ne nnllmakara.

The picturesque toTn. of Montreuil, in France, is almost entirely given up to the manufacture of dolls. Nearly every inhabitant is engaged in the work, so that the town has the appearance oS an im- mense toy shop. First. ''the biscuit" from which the heads of the dolls are rl2de. is composed of lime and earth, which is mixed and poised until it attains the de- sired consistency. It is then steeped and strained, washed and filtered over and over again, till it finally emerges from these processes white and pure.
 This mixture is then poured into mods, of which the variety is almost endless, and when dry the embyro heads are hand ed over to women who insert the eyes and attach the ears. They are then baked for two days fin large ovens capable of holding nearly 5000 heads. The heads are now polished with sandpaper and tinted. after which the artists take them in hand and color them, painting eye brows eyelashes and lips. The colors are finally fixed by another process of bak- ing before the heads are ready to be af- fixed to the bodies, to be a delight and soIace to children ali over the world.

WHAT ONE MAN
Can Do in Running Down Law
 Breakers.

Can Do in Running Down Law Richmond Special to Baltimore Sun. Patrolman William H. Wyatt, Jr., of the Richmond police force, who last year waged successful sing,e-handed fight against Richmond gamblers, has again come Into prominence through a crusade. His energies are now directed against vio- lators of the Sunday liquor laws Wyatt is backed by the Sunday Observance League. He today preferred second charge against George Bannister of vio- Iating the law yesterday. The cases against Bannister and another similar charge against a saloonkeeper named Campbell will be heard tomorrow.
 John Tyler, arrested for selling bottles of whdskey on the street, was fined $50 today and sent to jail for thirty days. He Is one of many said to be peddling liquor on Sunday for saloons. The government may also prosecute him for selling with out revenue license.
 Last September Wyatt brought to Q successful continuation a most remarka- ble campaign against the proprIetors of the leading gambling resorts of Richmond. Seven men were convicted on evidence supplied by Wyatt.
 Wyatt charged that Captain J. B. Angle his superior officer, had discountenanced
 
 nied 1t and reported officially that evi- dence could not be found to convict the alleged gamblers. He was exonerated by the Police Board and Wyatt was placed in an uncomfortable position file began at once to collect evidence against gamb- @Jrs He not only had absolutely no as. sistance from the police, but was given the cold shoulder by the members Of the force. Resourcefulness and courageous determination. however. bore fruit in clearing himself, and fin the conviction of seven gamblers.
 One of the spectacular features of the crusade was the destruction of $7,00O worth of gambling paraphernalia captured by Mir Wyatt.
 Wyatt is a quiet, unassuming man, but. once enlisted in a fight. he never lets go until he wins. Surrender apparently was omitted from his vocabulary. While there has been no popular outburst, he has had the backing of representative residents of Richmond in his warfare on vice.

the work of Mrs. Fleming and her ,as- sistants. If she should find in photo graphs of a given constellation stellar spectrum different from any one pre- viously known Mrs. Fleming would at once conclude she had discovered new star. That as 8 matter of fact, has happened. In the past $50 years only eighteen new stars have been discovered. and of these six were found by Mrs. Fleming. One of them, Nova Normae. was discovered by the lady while she was examining a photograph sent from the ArequIpa observatory in Peru. When a new star is suddenly observed in given quarter of the heavens it means that the star is so far away its light has only just reached this earth, though the rays may have been millions of years on the way to us.
 Sitting in her study examining photo graphic plates of stellar spectra day after day, year after year. this profound wo- man student has contributed perhaps more to the science of astro physics than any other astronomer of our time, though she is only forty-six years of age. Be- sides the new stars, she has found or investigated some 200 variable stars These are stars whose light grows bright and then dim from time to time. Mrs. Fleming observed that in the spectra or these variables there were always certalh bright lines. She was the first to deduee from that fact a theory which may be called a law Again, this woman. who almost seems to know astronomy by tn- tuition. has through her photographic star studies discovered planetary nebulae
 Greatest of all the works of herself and her women associates, however, when the amount of labor is considered, Is the catalogue of stellar spectra they have made. This is nothing less than set of books containing an index and descrip- ton of the spectrum of every star visible to the naked eye In both the northern and southern hemispheres. The north ern hemisphere was mostly catalogued by Miss Maury, granddaughter of CommO- dore Maury. Miss Cannon, under the

tramways which convey the raw leaves to the stripping plants and the baled fibre to the docks at Meida. In 1900 these plan tations exported 5OO.0OO bales. valued at more than, ,$S.0O0,OO0.
 Next to the cultivation of henequin, timber cutting is the most important in- dustry in the peninsular. The principal emporium of the trade in logwood, ma hogany and cedar in Balaear on the Rlo Hondo. Nearly all of the manual labor, both in the woods and on the plantations, Is performed by semi-civilized Mayas. That these show signs of restlessness and disposition to join issues with their kinsman In the unequal conflict with the forces of civilization has of late given much disquiet to the Mexican authorities.

Women Astronomers:
 Mrs. Nina Fleming

, simply "M. Fleming" have attracted att
 tention from astronomers the world ove" All the correspondence of the department passes through her hands. Where she herself does not write the letters, they are prepared under her supervision. She and her, assistants ex-
 anime the proofs of star photographs,
 then classify and catalogue and store them.
 Star photographic plates do not contain,
 as might be supposed, actual pictures of the stars themselves. The impressions
 upon the plates are photographic spectra that is to say, light from a star passes through the telescope lens. There is a
 set of prisms that divide the rays of light from the star as an ordinary prism
 divides the white sunlight. Instead of the star itself there will be upon the
 photographic plate a set of straight bands or lines. Every known substance upon
 this earth has it's own set of colored
 spectral lines when it gives off light in

In the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals in st. Louis an opinion was
handed down by Judge Thayer in the
case of the Supreme Council of the Royal
Arcanum versus Anna ]. Taylor. The
case is remanded with instructions that
the plaintiff is not entitled to recover.
The decision will be of interest to fra
ternal organizations and member insur-
ed against death in these organizations,
Anna ]. Taylor is the widow Of George
p. Taylor, a member of Arapahoe Lodge,
Denver. He was insured for $1,000 in
1896 and died in November, 1900 Pay
ment of the insurance certificate was con-
tested on the ground that he had not paid
the monthly assessment of October. 1900
due on the last day of that month, aud
therefore, was suspended according to
the bylaws. The collector failed TO pay
Taylor's assessment for October. as he
had been in the habit Of doing when it
was overdue. and when il was rendered
three days later. just before Taylor's
death, it was refused on the ground
that under the bylaws Taylor was und"r
suspension. Mrs. Taylor recovered judg-
ment against the supreme council which
appealed. Judge Thayer says the ques-
ton is whether the supreme council was
cognizant Of the practice of the collec-
tor in accepting the assessment of Tay-
Tor after he was delinquent and whether
il ratified such practice by accepting the
delinquent's assessment in violation of
its bylaws. lie finds nothing in the
evidence to warrant this presumption.

Action by House May Cause Failure.
BY vote of 30 10 1G the Senate
Thursday afternoon ratified the Cuban
reciprocity treaty. after making further
amendments aud adjourned sine die.
Twenty-fOur Senators had already left
for their homes. y long debate preceded
the voting. Senator Foster Of Louisiana
made a speech in opposition and spoke
for two hours and half He asserted
that the effect Of the proposed reduction
on Cuban sugar would be 10 enhance the
profits of the manufacturers, and that
the consumers wonld not be benefited in
the least. Senator Berry also made a
long speech, his opposition being TO The
committee amendment which provided
that there should be no further reduction
or change in the Dingley schedules for
five years, thus shutting out all nppor-
tunity of reciprocity with other sugar
producing countries. He said the Unit
ed State. could not afford to take this
position.
The Senate began co vote on amend
ments at 3 o'clock. The amendment pro-
viding that the treaty should not 20 into
effect until a joint resolution should be
adopted by both horsas Of Congress was
carried by a vote Of n yeas to - nays
In addition the committee put in pro-
yiso that the reduction of duty upon
Cuban sugar should not be greater than
20 per cent of the present duty. and that
during he life of the Cuban treaty the
duty on sugar coming from other eoun-
tries should NOT he reduced by treaty or
convention. Cattle were transferred
from the class to enjoy % per cent re-
duction of the Cuban rates TO 40 per cent
and wheat and corn -four were J. 1t in to
enjoy a 10 per cent reduction. Cotton
and manufactures thereof were trans
ferred from the % to 80 per cent reduc-
ton schedule.
A number of other amendments were
offered including annexation and immi-
grafton provisions, one heijg drawn to
require the Cuban government to adopt
our immigration laws to exclude contract
and cheap coolie labor. Some of these
amendments were withdrawn to facili-
tate adjournment and others were not
forced to roll call.
When all the work before the Senate
had been cleared up Senator German
moved that all the speeches which had
DeeH mace III secret session on the 10
lombian treaty be made public and he
p ted in the Congressional Record. This

Senator's Foraker, Fairbanks and De-
pew. who are very proud of the speeches
they made on this subject, favored Sem
ator Germans motion. Senator Hanna
said that he would have no objection TO
having the speeches made public after
the treaty had been acted on by the CO.
lombian Congress.
The last business was the report of
message from the President responding
to the resolution offered by Senator Nor
gan asking the President II inform the
Senate how many soldiers, how large
naval force and how much money would

anna. The President replied that the
