The Milky Way.
From the London Mail.


A novel theory as to the milky way has
been evolved by s. L. Adams, an amateur
astronomer of Sydney. N. s. w. This lumi-
nous phenomenon, it appears, is really a
shadow.
The Milky Way" says 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
erising from the telescope stars in it's back
ground.
Now as this background Is constantly
changing, and the luminous effect is only
seen wherever the foreground happens to
be the Milky Way. it is evident that it is
not the telescope stars themselves which
produce the effect, but something projected
n the foreground of the sky. That some
thing Is the earth's shadow.
The supposed nebulae." continues Mr..
their contempt for the laws of gravitation
and their refusal to conform to the globu-
Ian SHAPE assumed by celestial objects gen.
orally. They are spots of shadow repre-
senting mountains or mountain ranges on
the earth.
Mr.. Adams anticipates that his discovery
will be received with smiles of incredulity,
but he expresses his belief that his view will
one day be accepted as correct. He is to
read paper on the subject before the local
branch OF the British Astronomical Asso-
citation.

HEARN IN CINCINNATI, !

til the city room was practically vacant

sauntered in and asked for job. The city

there was nothing for him, and turned to

receiver and called out, wait a minute!
Go out to the city gas works and see what
is the matter there. Come back as soon
as YOU can.
The stranger was back again within an
hour. Its a murder he said, and went
into the reporters room. half hour
later, when the city editor entered the
room, he found the new reporter lying
at full length upon the top of long table,
his face because of an affection of the
eyes which prevented the eyeballs from
turning In their sockets.
Picking up few pages of the manuscript,
which was beautifully written and had the
firmness of copper plate, the editor read 1t
carefully. and then laid his hand gently
upon the writer's head This instantly

Ruskin's Last Years.
Norton in the Atlantic.

L
1 made a short visit to England in 1851;
and again In 1884. Ruskin had changed
greatly In the ten years interval since our
last meeting. I had left him in 1873 man
in vigorous middle life, young for his years
erect in figure. alert In action full of vital
ity. with smooth face and untired eyes; /
found him an old man. with look even
older than his years. with bent FORM with
the beard of patriarch, with habitual ex-
preston of WEAKNESS. with the genera; air
and gait of age. But there was all the old
affection and tenderness: the worn look
readily gave way to the old animation. the
delightful smile quickly kindled into full
able youthfulness of temperament reas-
serted itself with entire control of manner
and expression. He had become more pos
tive. more absolute in manner. more irrita-
bic. but the essential sweetness prevailed
and now and then the old gayety of mood
took possession of him with it's irresistible
charm. No ordering of life could have
been more happy for him. He was the OBJ
Ject of the most loving and watchful SYM
pathy and care. His cousin. Mrs. Severn
was at the head of his household. and no
daughter could have been more dear and
devoted to him. Her children kept the
atmosphere of the home fresh and bright:
the home itself was delightful, beautiful
within with innumerable treasures of art
and surrounded without by all the beauties

one more lovely in its surroundings. and
more appropriate for him.. could not have

Demanding Tips in Face of Death.

Money is so hardly earned by the Partisan

full of their own peril and that of others,
they rushed to and fro. besieging half-suf-

money.
A similar scene happened during the ter
rible catastrophe on the Paris underground
railway last year. Although the delay of
few seconds might mean life or death, many
workmen refused to move from the
crowded station, clamoring for the return
of the forfeited twopenny ticket.

A Trick Of Dealers.


Again, case of clever trickery with re-
gard to a picture came before my notice
short time ago. A mezzano in Florence
called upon a well-known and wealthy En-
glishman staying on the Lung Arno, and
IN confidence informed him that there was
genuine Madonna and Child by Fra Bar
tolommeo in the private chapel of a vita
up the Val di Pesa, about twenty miles
from the city, and that the owner, mar
quis, who was hard pressed, was prepared
to sell privately. The EngIishman saw at
once the chance of securing real art
treasure, and invoked the aid OF we'll
known Florentine expert. In secrecy they
went with the meZzano to the great, old,
half-ruined villa, where they found a mag
nffcent and fienuine example of Fra Bar
tolommeo.
The Engiishman was delighted and after
much haggling a bargain was made next
day for 10000 lire. The picture was de-
tivered to a firm of INSCRIPTIONS exporters,
who managed to smuggle the treasure on
board ship at Spezzfa, much to the relief
of the purchaser, who soon afterward left
for England to hang his find in his prt-
waite gallery He is, however in blissful
ignorance that the picture he first saw has
since been sold by the marquis to the
Italian government, and that the treasure
delivered by the agent-who that same day
decamped with the 10000 lire--was copy
which had been carefully prepared for the
purpose of fraud
The only reliable dealers in Italy are the
priests to whom needy families sometimes
sell their treasures in confidence There
are certain priests In Pfstoja In Pisa and
in .Leghorn of whom genuine antiques can
still be bought. while Etruscan gold orna-
ments are still turned up by the plough
in the Maremma. But ancient art Is cer-
antiquario. and the foreigner acts very fool
ishly II he attempts to discover 1t.

Thirty-five of them left last night for

Victor as they cared to go until quiet

They are getting out Of town in small
punches. some paying fare and others
going in box cars. The deported men
during their stay here have been as
quiet as the home citizens and dis
cuss the situation freely. A number
OF the unmarried men intend to seek
work In the harvest fields near this
place and in western Kansas.
AS near as can be learned IL appears
that the executive committee Of the
