HOW A SUN BURNED UP.

In December, 1891. the astronomers
beheld the most wonderful sight that
has ever greeted mortal eyes. They
We're watching the queer antics of a
sta: OF the ninth magnitude when all
at once it famed up like a smoldering
brush pile to which new fuel had just
been added. Within forty eight hours
its brilliancy increased sixteenfold.
and then the star slowly disappeared
from view. The astronomers believe
that what they saw was a sun burn
ing up" The final fash which they
saw probably left the doomed orb
twenty or even fifty years ago. It is
d well known fact that there are stars
removed from Us by distances so great
that they might have been wiped out
of existence 9 hundred years ago and
the light still be coming to US through
space.

The presiding genius of this flourish

though she processes to retain the
memory of existence through several
reincarnations. was born in Newbury-
port, Mass, about flfty-nine years ago.
According to her own account, she was
educated in a convent of gray nuns at
Montreal and afterward went to Sa-
vannah. Ga, where she was married to
a printer named Cooke. Her next mat
rimonial venture was with George ".

loon keeper. She studied hypnotism
and became a spiritualist Her third
husband was Philo B. TingIey. a ste

From spiritualism Mrs. Tingley drift
ed into theosophy, the sort that was
taught by Nine. Blavatsky. She made
the acquaintance of leading members
of the cult. and at the death of Will

when Mrs. Tingley was proclaimed by
a small and rather unorthodox wing of
theosophists as the dead priestess' sue

that theosophy as Nine Blavatsky
taught it was no longer possible. She

ii is to the credit of Mrs. Tmgley
that she not only agreed to the inves

that the brotherhood paid $1,000 in tele-
