BILE All over the United States
Dean Howe Of University of Den-
yer Tells Of the Interesting Event
In Denver Republican.

On Tuesday evening, Dec. 20, if the
sky is free from cloud, the eastern
heavens will furnish an interesting
spectacle, says Herbert A. Howe of the
University of Denver in the Denver
Republican. Any one who has watched
the noon knows shortly after it is
new" it may be seen for a short time
in the early evening as a slender cres-
cent low down in the west. AS the
days succeed one another an observer
who looks at the moon at the same
time every evening sees that it not
only changes its form from a crescent
to a half circle and then to a full cir
Gle, but that it shifts its position
among the stars moving continually
eastward.
Since the moo is comparatively
neal us, while the fixed stars are at
immense distances, the eastward mo-
ton of the former causes it to pop be-
tween us and those stars which ap.
parently lie in its path. The stars are
therefore temporarily hidden from view
as the moon passes in front of them.
They disappear at the eastern or left
hand edge of the moon, and reappear
at the right-hand edge.
While these OSCILLATIONS, as they are
called, are continually happening, few
persons ever notice them. For the
brilliancy Of the queen of night is such
that stars in its immediate vicinity
are very hard to see with the naked
eye. But occasionally a very bright
star is occulted, and the phenomenon
may be seen either with the naked eye
or with a small telescope, like an
opera glass Or spy glass.
Such an opportunity is now afforded
in the occultation Of Aldebaran. the
brilliant reddish star in the face OF
Taurus, the Bull. The cccultation will
be visible all over the United States
and doubtless hundreds Of telescopes
will be in use to observe he pheno
menon. The moor will not be full til
II o'clock in the forenoon Of Thursday
Dec. 20. Therefore it will not appea'
as a full circle when 1t occults Aide
baran, but its left-hand bright edg'
will be elliptical in outline instead o
circular. When this advancing dar
edge of the moon, which is invisibl
to us reaches Aldebaran the star wi
vanish instantaneouly. After abou
one hour it will reappear from the VI
Der part Of the right-hand edge Of tn
moons disc.

A HOTEL CRUSHED
LIKE AN EGGSHELL
WIND CAUSES WALLS OF RUINED
BUILDING TO FALL ON
FRAME HOTEL.
Eight Bodies Already Removed From
. Ruins and Many Persons Hurt
Fire Adds to Wreckase Caused by
the Failing Walls of Old Structure
Property Loss Heavy.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 20.-A
strong wind caused the walls of the
ruined Peck building to fall early this
morning, crushing the Crocker hotel, a
the hotel at the time. Tons Of brick
and mortar crushed the hotel like an
eggshell. Flames broke out imme-
diately and spread so rapidly that a
general alarm was turned in.
Eight bodies have been taken from
the ruins so far. They are William
Bray, Charles Kenyon, John Inner
man, Mack Richie, Joseph Villotte and
Peter Badly.
The injured are J. w. Crocker, Mrs.
Crocker, Howard and Hannah Crocker,
Jennie Murray, Mrs. McNevins, Mrs.
Leclaire. Mrs. Williams and baby.
The presence of mind of a passerby
saved many lives. This man heard
the crash and promptly turned in a
fire alarm. The department arrived
quickly, checked the incipient blaze
and all turned their attention to rescu-
ing those still alive. This work was
carried on under difficulties. A won
derful escape was that Of Mrs. Nc
Nevins. She was in bed or the second
floor when the crash came. She
dropped to the basement. The debris
arched over her in such a way as to
prevent serious injury, and she was re-
covered. Hans Anderson vas pinned
down by beams across the lower part
of his body. He pleaded piteously for
help. The 1remen worked desperately,
but it was like playing jackstraws
with death. They could not reach him.
His sentences became fewer and fewer,
with less of the note Of pain. At last
his voice vas stilled and the workmen
knew their efforts had been in vain.

CARS MUST
USE C0UPLERS
IMPORTANT DECISION BY THE SU.
PREME COURT OF UNITED
STATES ON SUBJECT.
Opinion Handed Dow by Chief Justice
Fuller Considered by Interstate
Commerce Commission and De-
partment Of Justice as Decided
Step Forward.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 20.-In a de,
cision handed down by Chief Justice
Fuller in the case of Johnson against
the Southern Pacific Railway company,
the supreme court of the United States
practically held that all cars, including
locomotive, should be equipped with
uniform automatic %couplers.
The court also held that dining cars
cannot be exempt from the require
ments of the safety appliance law
when in use, even though empty.
The decision is considered by the
interstate m commission and
the department of justice to be a de-
of railroad employees. Secretary Nose
ley of the commission summarizes the
points decided as follows:
'First-rnat couplers on railroad
cars must be of such a character that
they will couple automatically and so
save employees from going between
'llouSh dDSolute ullllOl llllS Is uUt
required.
"Second-A car, though empty and
on a s%idetrack, may be engaged in in
commerce.
"Third-That for the purpose of the
safety appliance law, locomotives are
cars, and they are required 10 be
equipped with automatic couplers.'
The accident out of which the suit
grew occurred at Promontory. Utah, in
1900, when Johnson, who was the head
brakeman on a through passenger train
between San Francisco and Ogden,
was directed to couple the locomotive
to a dining car which was standing on
a sidetrack at that point.
The engine and car were equipped
respectively with the Jenney coupler
and the Miller hook, but they did not
work together, and Johnson was COM
PEELED to go between the cars, with
the result that his hand was so badly
mashed hat amputation became neces-
Sary. He brought suit for damages,
but both the circuit court for the dis
trict of Utah and the circuit court of
appeals for the eighth circuit decided
against him. The opinion of the SUI
preme court reverses both these judg-
ments and orders a new trial.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. ZO.-"Fronti" and
with a swish of skirts the modern
bell hop will stand at the desk at
the Great Northern hotel shortly. At
least that is the way Manager Roth
thinks things should be in an up-to-
date hotel, and the patrons of the
Great Northern seem greatly pleased
with the first step in that direction,
taken by the hotel management. The
bell girls have not been installed as
yet, but they soon will be if Mr.. Roth's
experiment of using girls instead of
boys as key clerks is a success. Two
girls have been installed behind the
desk.
1T is going to have the effect of
Keeping our patrons inside the house."
said Mr.. Roth, as he stood watching
the crowd of guests s%crambling for
their keys. Il like to have a lot of
girls around, anyway-they are SO
much more courteous than boys and
seem to please the travelling public
more. No M seems to appreciate a
smile from a boy, but just look at that
crowd crammed around the key desk.
Last night they didn't think of getting
their keys until everything in town
was closed up, but tonight we a
close the house at 8 O'Clock and have
everyone inside. If this keeps up we
will have a crowd Of girls in blue uni

Santa Rosa, Cal, Dec. 20.-LuSher
Burbank has succeeded at last in rails
ing a "%spineless cactus" which will be
a very valuable forage plant in the de-
as it is concerned that it will make
the desert place blossom as the rose"
with it's vegetation. 1t is said to be a
great improvement over the ordinary
cactus, and Is about half as nutritious
as alfalfa. The yield in tons to the
acre is greater.
1t has taken Mr.. Burbank ten years
to bring the cactus to the state of per-
lection in which he has it today, and
now, by a series Of crossings and re-
crossings of different varieties from
different parts of the world, he is aim

thorny leaves to a state of perfection
in which a man can rub the leaf owe

found to be as soft as silk.
With his accustomed absence Of os'
tentation, Burbank has worked quietly
in producing this creation, which is
