shoes they divert the salesman's atten-

The FIight of a Great Nebula.

One of the most striking spectacles
revealed by telescopes is that of the
Great Nebula in Orion. In the com
plexity of its glowing streams, spirals
and strangely shaped masses, inter
cepted by yawning black gaps and
sprinkled over with stars arranged in
suggestive groups and lines, it has few
rivals in the heavens. The impression
of astonishment made by the sight of
this nebula is heightened by knowledge
of it's enormous size. The entire solar
system would appear as tiny speck
beside it. Yet this tremendous aggre
CATION of nebulous clouds and starry
swarms has been proved by the re
searches of the late Professor Keller
of the Lick observatory to be flying
away from the earth and the sun at the
rate of II miles in every second. But
so vast is it's distance that 100 years
reveal no visual effects of the great
nebula's swift retreat If it were near
by, it would seem to become rapidly
smaller.-Yo Youths Companion.

The great success that Mr.. Proctor
has achieved in putting on reviyals of
plays that have been made famous in
New York productions, has encouraged
him to branch out and make first pro-
auctions Of hisown Several plays are
now being given careful consideration
by Mr.. Proctor's play readers, and no
doubt in the near future several brand
new comedies will see their first light
at Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theatre.
The stock company at this house has
been carefully put together, and the
various lines of work played by each
individual member of this section has
made it possible for Mr.. Proctor to
produce new plays almost as rapidly as
reviyals of old times.
r. f. Proctor, whose fame as the
atrical magnet is known in both hem
ispheres, has just returned from his
southern trip, where he spent several
weeks. at Palm Beach, st. Augustine,
