MILKY WAY only Earth's Shadow.

A novel theory as to the Milky Way
has been evolved by S. l.. Adams, an
amateur astronomer of Sydney, N. ).
w. This luminous phenomenon, II
appears, is really shadow.
"This Milky Way" says Mr.. Adams,
'is constantly being seen at many diff
ferent angles and in many parts OF
the sky, but it always preserves the
same luminous front arising from the
telescope stars in its background.
Nov, as this background is con-
stantly changing, and the luminous
effect is only seen wherever the fore
ground happens to be the Milky Way,
it is evident that it is not the tel
escope stars themselves which pro-
duce the effect, but something pro-
iected on the foreground of the sky.
That something is the earth's shadow.
1.-THE supposed nebulae," continues
Mr.. Adams, ARE all shadows, and this
explains their contempt for the laws
of gravitation and their refusal to con-
form to the globular shapes assumed
by celestial objects generally. They
are spots of shadow representing
mountains or mountain ranges on
earth."-London Daily Mail.

Didn't Effect Gen. chaffee.

1t is not known whether it is a
Joke on Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee or not.
While he was in the far west, inspect
ing army posts, the order issued dur
ing the Spanish war, requiring Off
GERS on duty in the war department to
wear their uniforms during office
hours, was rescinded. and since then
the wearing of uniforms at the war de-
partment has been abandoned.
That is. it has with one important
exception. The exception is Gen.
Chaffee, the ranking officer of the ar
my, who appears at his desk every
day in his military attire, including the
three stars on each shoulder, indicat-
ing his rank Either he does not
know of the latest order on the SUBJ
ject or he does not care. Naturally.
none of his subordinates feel called
on to suggest change, so that Gen.
Chaffee continues conspicuous as the
only man in uniform in the war de-
Washington Star.

Trolley Time.

The trolley cars had been running
in Ferntown SO few months that they
were still the pride and delight of ev-
cry citizen. One day a stranger in the
town whose watch had stopped ac-
costed an old man lounging in a door
way on the principal street.
Can you tell me what time it isl"
she asked politely.
"You see that corner up there?" ask
ed the lounger, pointing up the road.
Eyes" said the lady, wondering,
"but perhaps l can find out without
going so far"
Il didn't say anything about your
going there" interrupted the old man,
impatiently. II asked you if you saw
it. Well, if you stand right here, you
can't miss seeing the car when she
comes round the corner, and then it'll
be jest precisely to dotseven minutes
after six, ma'am. Youths Compan-

Work That Shortens Life.

Metal polishers are said to become
disabled in about seven years. For
that reason they command high wag-
es. Most of them die of consumption
The stone-cutter's l~ is a little long
er. but death comes to him in the
same way. Workers in trenches and
sewers, street cleaners. canal diggers,
workers in caissons, tunnels, in COM
pressed air, bridge builders and rail-
road laborers are short lived. The
tunnel under the North river cost
more than a score of lives by acct
dents besides permanently impairing
the health and shortening the lives Of
unknown scores. Building of the
New York and Brooklyn bridges was
very fatal to human life. An engin-
eer told me that the. kept the facts
out of the newspapers as much as pos
sible. All great works of engineering
are prosecuted at the expense of hui
man life and health. Health Culture.

A PLAY Room.

"oh, oh, OH" The twins clapped
their hands and danced up and down,
they were SO pleased.
III is the incest place ever saw"
said Willard.
We will stay here all the time!"
cried Oracle.
There were pickets all round the
sides. taller than the children's heads,
and a tent-like roof made big square
of cotton cloth tied to the posts at each
corner, and held up right in the mid
die by being fastened to a cross-rope
that was tied higher up between two
posts. There was a gate on one side,
near the stairway door, fastened on
the outside with a hasp and paddock,
80 the children could not get out and
no one could get in without mammals
key
A little table and four low wooden
chairs were in one corner, two chairs
being for visitors. In the opposite
corner there was chair for mamma
and one for papa or caller. And in
a third corner there was a covered
wooden box for the twins playthings
Two stout hooks were waiting for
the hammock to swing by, cornerwise,
but when the hammock was up there
was not much room left
This is my birthday present for
You" said papa.
"Oh, thank you! 1t is the incest
present we ever have had!" cried Will

the posts of one of the clothes-drying
sheds on the fiat roof of tall apart

but Nature has made up to him in wit
what he lacks in stature.
AS he descended some steps to the
sidewalk one day, his hand outstretch-
ed to greet tall acquaintance, his foot
slipped and in a flash his foot was
where a moment before his hand had
been. Of course, the friend laughed,
as friends will as such misfortunes.

Spool Bubbles.

For three days it had been misty
moisty" weather.
"Too damp for my chickies to be
out-of-doors," said mamma, as Alice
and Harry came into the room where
she lay not very i'll, to be sure, but
not able to be up and go downstairs.
what can we do?" thought the
children.
20 mamma, can you please give us
two empty spools?" asked Harry.
Mamma told him where to find them,
for she usually kept some in ma
chine drawer for just such requests.
Harry brought the spools, got wash
bowl, and seemed to be washing his
hands, but he really was making soap
suds. Then both the children dipped
their spools in the soapy water, rub
bed the wet end on the soap in the
soap-dish, and then blew through the
spools.
Look, mamma! Oh, look!" excit-
eddy exclaimed Alice, as an immense
bubble grew at the end of the spool.
First it had rosy colors, then green
ish, then a wonderful golden tint,
gradually changing to a rich purple
and indigo, then-snap!-it was gone.
Each tried to see which could blow
the largest bubble, and they soon
EXPLANATIONS, SO they tried to call out
without taking the spools from their
mouths; but this made such funny lit
tie grunts and squeals that they could
not blow for laughing.
20 mamma, see my bubble grow
SMALL" said Alice.
Eyes. dear The hole in the spool
is so large, the air comes out rapidly.
Place your finger over the hole till
you blow again. And when you stop
to take a new breath put your tongue
over it, and the bubble will keep it's
size"
Then both Alice and Harry touched
the bubbles they were blowing togeth-
er. and often they became one large
one, into which both were blowing.
Then Harry found reed stem and
stuck it into his spool, and stood on
a chair. so that the bubbles would be
high up in the air. He would blow
them the size of very large oranges,
and throw them over toward mamma,
who tried to fan and blow them up
toward the ceiling.
20 Harry, look! l blew that bubble
in two" said Alice, as two smaller
bubbles chased away from her, fol
lowed by "a tiny baby one" as Harry
called it.
"But just see here, Alice and Har-
ry was throwing small bubble off

he. SO Alice tried it. By this time

Sir William Crookes has discovered
that the emanations of radium are
able to improve the tint of off-color di-
Almonds. A yellowish diamond, after
being enclosed for 78 days in a tube
of radium bromide was entirely freed
from it's Objectionable color. At first
it's surface was dulled with film OF
graphite, but this disappeared in an
acid bath, and the diamond came out
bright and transparent, with its color
changed to pale bluegreen. Sir Will
liam Crookes thinks the effect is due
to an internal chemical change, and
suggests that the discovery may prove
to be of commercial Importance In
the treatment of off-color gems.
1t has generally been assumed that
the difficulty in respiration expert
enced by aeronauts and mountain
climbers was due to the diminished
supply of oxygen at great heights,
and to counterfeit this effect various
devices have been employed to sup
ply the needed oxygen. Recent exper-
iments by Professor Mosso OF Turin
indicate that the diminished supply OF
carbon dioxid also plays a part in the
phenomena of difficult respiration on
high mountains. Professor Mosso
found that mixture of oxygen with
20 percent of carbon dioxid, which
caused giddiness and vomiting when
inhaled at Turin, could be breathed
with ease and a sense of pleasure on
the summit of Monte Rosa.
After the failure of many inventors
to carry out a similar idea, 1t is
claimed that French electro-motlon
company has produced an electric car
riage in which the use of pinlons,
chains and gearing for transmitting
motion to the driving-wheels is entire
ly dispensed with. In this new ma
chine the motors and the wheels are
described as being one and the same
thing. The axles receive their motive
power directly from the accumulators.
The weight of the carriage is thus re-
duced and it is asserted that these
'liveaxle" machines can traVel w
to 80 percent farther than those OF or
binary construction because OF the
saving of energy. The appearance OF
the new carriages is improved ex-
cept that the wheels have a clumsler

HAWAIIAN hotel
REPORTED 4 BLAST

The fall of plaster in the Hawaiian
Hotel on Friday morning was not
caused by coincidental blast, how
ever much previous blasts may have
affected the stability of the ceiling.
But Mr.. Cruise, the night clerk of the
hotel, reported at the time that he
heard a muffied roar just before the
plaster fell which he took to be the
sound of a blast on the waterfront.
An official report was made accord
ingly to that effect. This report, writ
ten by Mr.. Barnes, was sent to the
directors of the hotel company. After
ward it appeared that no blast had
been discharged on Friday morning.
The last one, which was very heavy,
had occurred a night or two before.
The story as originally given to the
by Mr.. Cruise was faithful
ly reported. The "1ate watch Imam
on this paper also thought he heard an
explosion but as heavy machinery was
running at the time he did not feel
sure until he heard Mr. Cruse's story.

seThe evidence against the defend
ants places Moore in one class and the
other defendants Apoliana and Hlrano
in another class. The motion to dls-
miss the defendants is not based upon
any question of the credibility OF the
witnesses but it relates entirely TO
matter of law. It is claimed that the
proseeutiou has not made out what IN
a civil case would be called pr1ma
facie case, against the defendant
Moore. The court finds that the pros
ecution has not presented any ev1-
dence which connects the defendant
Moore with the gambling game in the

THE COURT BELIEVES IN THE
GUILT OF MOORE, it does not find
that the prosecution has presented evil
denee which win connect the defend
ant with the conduct of the gambling
game on King street. THE COURT
HAS SUFFICIENT FAITH IN THE
PROSECUTION IN THIS TERRI
TORY TO BELIEVE THAT JUSTICE
WILL IN THIS INSTANCE EVEN
TUALLY BE DONE. The defendant
Moore is discharged -
AS to Apoliana and Hirano, the
court said that nothing had been ad-
duced in the evidence to show that
craps, or "7-11,' the game which
they were charged with conducting,
was a percentage game. The court re-
ferred to the testimony given by
Miyamoto, who had stated that there
was box on the table and that when
he had won he had been asked to put
some money in it. When he lost any
thing he was not asked to contribute.
The court was satisfied that the two
