WHAT 10 THE MILKY WAy7
Australian Amateurs Solution Of an
Astronomical Puzzle.

AotU VHStutSat Tu<AtS.
A novel theory az to the Milky Way
has been evolved by s. l.. Adams, an
amateur astronomer, OF Sydney, N. 8.
w. This luminous phenomenon. 1t
appears, is really a shadow.
"The Milky Way" avs Mr.. Adams,
lis constantly being seen at many
different angles and in many parts OF
the sky. but It always preserves the
same luminous front arising from the
telescope stars in its background.
Now, as this background is con.
stantly changing, and the luminous
effect ia only seen wherever the fore
ground happens to be the Milky Way.
it Is evident that it Is not the tele'
scopic stars themselves which pro-
duce the effect, but something pro.
jected on the foreground of the sky.
That something Is the earth's shadow.
THE supposed Nebulae." continues
MI. Adams. ARE all shadows. and this
explains their contempt for the laws
Of g%ravitation and, their refusal to con,
form to the globular shape assumed
by celestial objects generally. They
are spots of shadow representing
mountains or mountain ranges on the
earth"
Mr.. Adams anticipates that his dis.
covery will be received with smiles
Of i~ncredulity, but he expresses his
belief that his view will one day be
accepted as correct. He is to read a
paper on the subject before the local
branch of the, British Astronomical
Observation-Disclosures Mail.

Dodged the Constables.

Jersey game wardens and con
stables are keeping a sharp watch for
persons who attempt to take game
out OF the State contrary to the game
laws. The shooters from the Penn
sylvania side Of the Delaware are
equally Industrious in evading their
vigilance. One gunner was success
full yesterday in bringing his game
across, despite the watchfulness of
two ~constables on the lockout for
their shares OF the fines.
The shooter walked onto the ferry
boat. carrying his gun and leading a
couple of retrievers. The ~constables
eyed him sharply; they crowded
against him as he passed down the
gangway, but could not detect any
thing to justify a search. He took a
seat in the mems cabin until the boat
was well out in the stream. Then
he walked over into the women's
cabin, and seating himself by the side

Reform in Expenditures.
Although the present incumbent
found at the close of the first fiscal
year, during which he assumed con.

of receipts over expenditures of more
than SOL 100000 there was an excess
of expenditures over receipts at the
close of the last fiscal year of $4,000,

that the expenditures are continuously
