At little before seven o'clock this even
ing March 22). there will be an occultation
of the first magnitude star Aldebaran.
An occultation is the eclipsng of star
by the moon. Since the moon always moves
eastward. the star will disappear at the
eastern edge of the moon and reappear
at the western edge. OSCILLATIONS of small
stars occur every night. but they can
only be seen with telescope. OCCUPATIONS
of~bright stars that can be observed with
out telescope are quite rare. much rarer
than ecIipses OF the sun or moon, and
because predictions Of the phenomena are
never published. very few people indeed.

The last occultation of a first magnitude
star visible at indianapolis. occurred en-
March 25 1902. This year there will be
opportunities for witnessing the phenome-
non twice, viz: March % and on December
30 Both times the same star (Aldebaran)
will be eclipsed. after which no more oc-
cuItations of bright stars will occur until
December 1906
The moons light is so brilliant that it
overcomes the fight of all but the brightest
stars that are near it. The occultation
of March % will occur under favorable
conditions, because the moon Will be but
five days old This will leave large area

the moons light from obscuring the star,
but the phenomena will take place one hour
after sunset and the lingering twilight Will
reduce the briliancy of the star. AS keen
eyes and a clear atmosphere are necessary
to the star, il will be well TO use an
opera glass to assist vision. The disappear
ance will occur the dark limb of the
moon, and this will be dark as the
surrounding sky. the star will appear to
be extinguished before the moon reaches II.
IL will emerge at the western edge of the
moon Sc minutes after immersion. The
disappearance is always instantaneous,
even when the largest telescope is used.
This demonstrates that the moon has no
atmosphere, and that Aldebaran. any
other fixed star, is a mathematical point of

WEIRD TALE OF MIN
CONSUMED BY FIRE

According to the advices received at the
Governors office, a minister has been in
flaming the minds of North Carolina con-
verts with weird stories of divine venge-

a query to Governor Durbin on this point
which was received yesterday He SAYS in
his letter: "A man in your State twenty
years ago cursed God and was cone sumo
by fire. No one could come within ten
feet of where he stood on account of the
great heat. This is what a preacher says.
Now tell me. Is this true? an oblige."

long and trying ordeal for five days be-
fore the senate committee on priyi-
Ieges and elections, which is invest-
eating the right of Reed Smoot to sit
as a senator, both the prosecution and
the defense announced that they We're
through with him, and another witness
was called. This was Mrs Clara Ma
bel Kennedy, who told some secrets Of
the Mormon church which If not bro
ken down will prove as important as
the statements of President Smith that
he and other officers have been
persistently cohabiting with plural
wives I'm violation of the law. Mrs.
Kennedy said she was married by
Brigham Young, an apostle of the
church, to James Francis Johnson, a
polygamist, since the manifesto of
1890, and she has had two children by
that husband. The marriage was per-
formed in Mexico, according to the
witness, at the home of high official
of the church
Mr. Worthington inquired whether
at any OF the joint meetings of the
first presidency and the apostles the
question Of polygamous cohabitation
had been discussed. Mr. Smith said it
had not either In an advisory talk or in
regard to taking official action to pre-
vent the practice.
He declared that when Mr.. Smoot
became an apostle the status of most
Of the polygamists had been fixed
many years before In answer to ques-
tions by Mr. Worthington and Senator
Burrows, Mr.. Smith said Senator
Smoot had never advised for or
against continuance of polygamous CO.

HARRISBURG, Pa, March s. -
"There is imminent danger of another
great food in this region" said Wealth
er Observer De Main. THE north and
west branches of the Susquehanna and
the Juniata rivers are rapidly rising,
and the indications are we will have
the highest stage of water ever known
in this locality. If the Sunbury gorge
does not give way before the water
above comes down the river here to-
night, the Susquehanna will have
reached as high a stage as last Feb
ruary. If the gorge gives way before
the water comes down, the water in
this region will go up still higher, and
we will have a most disastrous flood"
