We will Try to give you some idea Of
the distance that separates us from
the pole star. As you know, light
travels at the rate of about $4,000
miles a second-more than seven times
round the earth while you are saying
"John Robinson slowly. Well, sup
pose that ray Of light, travelling at
this terrific speed Of Il million miles
in less than FIVE and Il half seconds
had started from the polar star on its
journey to the earth at the moment of
your birth that particular ray will not
reach you until you are more than
halfway between your thirty and
thirty-seventh birthdays. When you
look on the pole star you see it not
as it IS today, but as it was about fifty
years ago.

c. NJ. Russell, the western painter,
tells an amusing story of bear fight
which he thinks Is funnicr than any
humorous sketch he has ever seen por

been out with a guido all day and to

road two bears sauntering along quite

jumped behind small thicket, and

attacking the other bear. About this
time the guide took a shot at the as
saulted animal, with the result that
the brute was Infatuated and imagined
he had been struck with undue force
by his comrade. Upon this the two
bears set to and had terrific fight
