GAVE ROsTAND HIS START.
Sarah Bernhardt Had Faith In tho
PIaywriEht's Ability.


Edmond RoStand, the great French
playwright, had the usual difficulty in
getting Il hearing when first he began
to write for the stage. Sarah Bern
hardt was directly responsible for the
primal achievement of this successor
of Victor Hugo. Nine Bcrnhardt grew
greatly Interested in Rostand's first
play, La princeSse Lointaine," and
suggested that he give Il public reading
OF the manuscript ut her theater.
To this reading the actress invited
Coquclin, whose attention was riveted
from the very first line and who, walk
ing home with the poet, gave it as his
opinion that his companion was to be-
come the greatest dramatist of the age.
Il bind myself, here and now, to take
any play which you write lin which
there is part for me- without read
ing it," he said, ito cancel any en-
gagcmcnt l may have on hand and to
produce your piece with the least pos
sible delay"
Such faith as this proved Il veritable
backbone to RoStand, who had lost all
hope of exciting interest in his work.
\ few years later Coquelin produced
"Cyrano." the success of which has
passed into histrionic history. 1t was
gratitude to Nine Bcrnhardt for her
share in giving him this opportunity
that made R0stand write "L'Aiglon,"
which many critics consider the great
est tragedy of modern times. Nine
Bernhafdt made fortune from the
play, which she presented not only in
France, but also in England and Amer.

SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Miles Are Too insignificant to Be
Used In Its Computation.

Miles Are Too insignificant to Be
Used In Its Computation.
While it is interesting to know the
distance of some of the stars in miles,
when stated in that way the numbers
are so large that they frequently con-
vey very indistinct conceptions to the
mind. For this reason it is customary
to estimate stars distances in light
years" \ light year is the distance
that light, moving at the rate of 1S6,S00
miles per second, travels in one year.
This amounts in round numbers to
5,SS0,000,0 100000 miles. The distance
of Alpha Centaur is 4.35 light years,
that of Sirius, the dog star, is almost
exactly twice as great, or SO light
years. In other words, light requires
sc years to come to us from Sirius.
And these are among the very nearest
of the stars. Some whose parallaxes
have been rather estimated than meas
urcd appeared to be situated at dis
lance which light could not traverse
in less than one or two centuries. The
great star Arcturus. for instance, has,
according to DR.. Elkin. a parallax of
only eighteen-thousandths of a second.
Its distance must in that case be about
Isl light years, or l!Ore than q thou
sand million million miles. And If its
distance is so ~:eat, then, since light
varies inversc.y as the square Of the
distance from its source, it can be
shown that Arcturus must actually
give forth 5000 or G000 times as much
light as the sun yields.
Yet Arcturus is evidently much near
er than the vast majority of the stars
are. Not one in II million is known to
have n parallaX large enough even to
be intclligently guessed at There may
be stars whose light requires thousands
instead of hundreds of years to cross
the space separating them from US.
We thus see that only Il few points
on the nearer shores of the starry uni
verse lie within reach of our measure
ments-here and there a jutting head
land, while behind stretches the vast
eXpanso over which the hundreds of
millions Of stars known to exist are
scattered.

IOWA PROPERTY VALUES.

Farm lands are assessed this year
in Iowa at s1.S6 per acre. cash valua-
ton, less than in 1903. Their average
cash valuation two years ago was
s42.10, and this year It is S40.23.
Opinions differ as to the actual
value of Iowa land. The railroad tax
commissioners insisted before the
council that a fair average valuation
was $50. Many competent and fair
minded students of the problem esti-
mate TIE average value of Iowa lands
to be $50 an acre. The assessment
fixed by the council Thursday was
$4O.23.
Livestock valuation fell off during
the past year about S3.000.000. the
loss being principally suffered by cat
tie. The actual value of Iowa live
shock now is S157, 7,052,640, according
to the assessment. or practically
within $75,000.000 of the value of all
of the railroad property in the state.
