THE AGE OF STARS.


AS star contracts from the sur
rounding nebulous matter from which
1t was thrown off it's temperature rises,
and with this augmented heat occurs a
change both in the stars spectrum and
color. Redhot iron is not nearly SO hot
as white hot iron. BY observing the va
rious changes in tint which the metal
undergoes the foundryman is able to
tell with considerable accuracy it's de-
gree of heat. A somewhat similar
method of gauging a stars temperature,
and therefore it's age, is relied upon by
the astronomer Color, then, and spec
troscopic analysis enable the astronO-
mer to estimate the age of orbs that
are only beginning to exist as stars
and others whose light is fast fading.
After having coagulated, as it were,
from nebulous mass, star assumes
color that may be best described as
an intense BLUSH white. much like that
of the electric arc. Stars of that hue
are, therefore, III their infancy. Then
comes the white stage, followed by the
yellow orange and red, each succeed
ing hue indicating greater celestial an
tiquity than the last. Up to the yellow
period the star as it contracts grows
hotter and hotter. Then gradual cool
ing takes place. Accompanying the
changes in color are changes in the
spectrum of the star-chanses that. in
dictate modification in physical struc-
ture. In the blush white period of
stars infancy the characteristic wide
lines of hydrogen gas predominant in
the spectrum AS the color changes,
the lines of calcium, magnesium and
iron appear, the hydrogen lines gradu-
ally becoming thinner and those Of
calcium broader. = Booklovers Maya

The barriers in the way of confession

a respected West Unity man Saunders
and Page were boys together, when they
left England, the country of their birth,
to try their fortunes in America. Saun-
ders grew up in the straight and narrow
path, living as he had been taught to

his youth. The officers got the two men

old frebug. But this at first seemed to

Arrest of Page was finally necessary,
and he was taken to Toledo, where the

Page. seeing an opportunity to ma

A man, conscious of the fact thatahis
criminal operations are even partially
known to those in authority, and wish

the punishment he had already suffered,
is easy picking for detectives. Thus it
was that Page, the stole, revealed the

MARRIAGE IN MEXICO.

Row the Engagement and Wedding
Ceremonies Are Celebrated.
The Mexican people are hospitable to

even though they have not enough to
eat themselves. And they rcligiously
visit the sick, including those who
have contagious diseases. They are al

the invariable mode of entertainment
being the dance. They are fond of mu-
sic, though not proficient in the art of
making it, probably more from lack of
opportunity than from lack of capac-
ity. The violin and guitar are the usual
instruments of music, the repertory of
the local musicians being usually linn
tied TO few tunes which are in equal
demand for the dance and for the fu-
neral.
One of the most interesting and beau
tiful of the social functions is the prem
dorio. When young man wishes to
marry he asks for the girl of his choice
Of the parents, not of the girl herself,

In which the compact was not kept, the
recreant bridegroom in that case being
visited with ostracism. The betrothal
is usually followed by marriage just as
soon as the services of the priest can

followed by feast more notable for
the abundance of things to drink than
for things to eat and by the usual
dance. Indeed the festivities are often
prolonged for several nights after the
wedding-Southern Workman.

TRAFFIC In Hum an Skin.

The skin grating experiments which
have been SO successful of recent years
have led to a new form of livelihood,
which is fairly remunerative. Several
of the London hospitals have on their
books the names and addresses Of
many men and women who have un-
dertaken to sell portions of their cuti-
Gle whenever the necessity arises and
1t is said that quite regular traffic is
now being done in the buying and sell
ing of human skin. The persons who
are willing to sacrifice their flesh for
money are by no means confined to the
poor and destitute clasS.-London Mail.

have paid, it is estimated, more than
$1,500,000 to the members of the gang.
Homer Morrison and Jack Page were
indicted nearly dozen times, principal
ly for arson. April g. 1878, they burned
Morrison home. and got the insurance.
Morrison hired Page for that job. A lit
tie later, Page was duped into burning
John Keller's property west of West
Unity. Then Keller, trapped because he
employed Morrison to do the dirty work,
was forced into the gang. and he became
one of the worst of the lot. He was in
dicted several times for aiding Morrison
and Page. October Is, 1908, he pleaded
guilty to arson, and served year in the
penitentiary.
Waldo Ely, Morrison, Wesley Ship

In 1895, new men were taken into the
fold, anG their work resulted in the in
dictment of Harry Kirkendall, William

dozen others. Most of them confessed,
and were given sentences ranging from
one to four years in prison. William

two years. Newton Omey, Jackson
Swisher. Charles Hultzberg and one or
two more are still at large, having fed
from the state. They have remained
away, fearing to take the consequences
of their actions.
Even with the excellent work already
accomplished, the state believes it has
not done its full duty. More prominent
men are to be dragged from their high
pinnacle in society, and their work OF
