 In several cases two. and even three decorations have been bestowed upon the same man. The official gazette for the last month has almost daily contained long lists of the men upon whom such distinctions have been con- ferred. and in each case the4 diploma and insignia, or certificates is for warded to the family of the dead sol- dter through the mayor of tho town or chief of the village in which they live. This respect for the dead is q national characteristic of the Japanese and they receive their honers before the living.

 The man who sends dispatches from Washington to Reuters news agency at London is not always so accurate as he might be. but he ought certainly to be able to distinguish between the presi- dent of the United States and Baron Rosen. the Russian ambassador. The newspapers of China. Japan and other countries of Asia, on the morning of October 4. 1905, published the following telegram: -s9
 Reuters Special Service. London, October 3.--A terrible storm has visited the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. de- vastating large areas of cotton crops.
 Baron Rosen has returned to Wash- ington for the first time since the peace. He was greeted by 100000 poo pie, the demonstration being unequal ed since the time of President Lincoln.
 President Loubet has opened in Paris the most important congress on tuberculosis"
 The only demonstration of any kind in Washington this fall was the greet Ing of the people to the President when ha rp.w the first of October. Baron Rosen re- mained ct his summer place in Massa- chusetts until almost the middle of the month. when he came quietly into towns with his family and went to a hotels The members of the embassy may have been at the station to meet him, but there certainly was no public reception of any kind. and Baron Rosen is the last man in the world to have expected such thing. Hence the misrepresen- tation must be as offensive to him as to anybody, and the only explanation of 1t is that somebody connected with the Reuter- news agency Is trying to prejudice the people of Japan and other parts of the East against the United States.

The planet Saturn which, with it's rings, has been so beautiful an object for observation during the past monthe. has row sunk low down in the South
 west It is in the western edge of the faint autumn constellation Aquarius. and while in the early evening it can still be seen, It is steadily drawing nearer and nearer to the sun and will soon be lost to us for another year. Meanwhile the ever interesting little planet, Mars, has been moving steadily eastward among the stars. The con- stellations set little earlier on each successive evening. but Mars is passing over them just as rapidly as they are sinking toward the ground, so that dur ing the entire month the planet will set at almost exactly the same hour each evening. In it's eastward motion it will enter Aquarius, and on Christmas~0fght 1t will meet the planet Saturn. The two planets will then present most

heavens. To the east of Taurus is the bright group GeminJ, or the Twins. while below Gemini there has now ap- >peared for the first time this year the two Dog Stars, Procyon and Sirius, the latter being by far the highest star of the entire sky.
 The beautiful group Gemini. which the observer will have but little dif- flculty in tracing out in the sky, has been held to represent twins of some sort from the most remote antiquity. It might be supposed that this figure would have been naturally suggested by the two bright twin stars, A and B, Fig. 1. Yet there are many other such pairs of stars in the sky to which a figure of twins might equally well have been applied. The origin of many of the constellation figures is so re- mote that their explanation Is lost to us.
 The Arabians saw .n the group of stars two peacocks, the Egyptians two sprouting plants, and the Hindus win deities. while in the Buddhist Zodiac they represented a woman holding a golden cord. Since classic times, how ever. the figure has always been that of human twins. which were supposed to have been placed in the sky as a re- ward for their love of one another on earth. They were the guardians of Rome and were hence inscribed on the Roman silver coins; the Pence of the good samaritan bore their figures, where they were represented as two horsemen. And in the acts of the Apostles, chapter. 2s. verse II, Saint Paul mentions that these same Twin Brothers were the fgurehead of the ship on which he and his companions sailed to Syracuse.

BUILDING LIGHT AlRSHIP

Bullet No. 2 is nearing completion
for aerial flight in Chutes park. Wordin
F. Trombly, the inventor and builder
of the airship, is much elated over the
accomplishments he has attained in the
Improvement over Bullet No. l. He
said last evening:
Il think have the best airship ever
invented. 1t weighs only fifty-flve
pounds, which is fifteen to twenty
pounds lighter than any other airship
ever constructed. 1t can be started
flat on the ground, it's propellers hav-
ing sufficient clearance.
The frame Is made of veneered
spruce, is forty-three feet long and of
triangular shape
TT is propelled by a seven-horse
power engine, which drives by end
less belts the two propellers of two
blades each, five feet long. The en-
gine and propellers are attached to
the center OF the airship. The rudder
IS seven by seven feet, controlled by a
cord attachment.

twenty-five feet in diameter and has
a capacity of 10000 cubic feet of gas.

CAVE PROPERTY TO
WIFE,; IS SORRY
"SHE WHEEDLED ME OUT OF
IT." SAYS CONTRACTOR
Chris BerteIsen Alleges He Decided
Home to His Spouse and Was
Immediately Turned Out
in the Cold

Charging his wife with wheedling him
out of a deed to his property by threats
to secure a divorce if he refused to
comply with her demands, Chris Bertel-
sen, a well-known Los Angeles con-
tractor. yesterday brought suit against
his wife, Lena Bertelsen, before Judge
Walter Bordwell in department four of
the superior court for the recovery of
the deed to property on West Ninth
street worth $4,000.
The Bertelsen troubles have been be-
fore the local courts for some time and
two suits for divorce based uDOn the
grounds of cruelty have been brought
by the wife, but in each instance these
suits have been withdrawn.
Bertelsen, according to the statements
of his attorneys yesterday, charges his
wife with having married him for his
money. At any rate, their marriage was
anything but a happy one, according
to the statements of both parties.
Bertelsen charges his wife with hav-
ing brought suit against him for di-
vorce for the sole purpose of getting
money from him. He says he signed
away half interest to a lot at 1907 West
Ninth street and the first suit was
withdrawn. On a second occasion, he
says, he built her a home costing $4,000
on the lot and the second suit was with
drawn.
But the events Immediately following
the building of the new home are al
legged by Bertelsen to have far sur
passed anything in the way of domestic
misery he had experienced previously
MY wife was not satisfied with any
thing in the house, although she had
supervision over the building of it."
said Bertelsen yesterday. She wanted
the wainscoting to be tiling and the
linoleum to be oilcloth. Even the horse
was not shod in the proper manner.
zone evening my brother came to
the house and she objected to his pres
ence there. He saw that there was some
trouble, so he left. MY wife Immediate
ly started to upbraid me because she all
legged 1 had not told her my brother was
coming to see me.
when l Contradicted her she called
me a liar. Such quarrels were frequent
and at last l started to San Francisco
and was packing some clothing to take
with me on my business trip; she tore
the garments from the valise and tram
pied on them AS l hurriedly left she
threw the clothes and hit me on the
head with them.
when l was away she had all the
locks on the doors of the house changed
and ordered me to keep out on my re-
turn. l had hardly given her the house
before she ordered me to get off her
property"
The case will probably last several
days.
