Would Re n Long Journey Even With
Transportation Facilities.
There is perpetual fascination about
the stars and the immense distances at
which they lie from one another and
from us. 10 demonstrate the vast dis
lance of Centauri from this planet a
popular scientist gives the following
illustra ton in London Answers: I'VE
shall suppose that some wealthy direct
ors, for want of outlet for their en-
ergy and capital, construct a railway to
Centauri. We shall neglect for the
present the engineering difficulties, a
mere detail, and suppose them over
come and the railway open for traffic.
We shall go further and suppose that
the directors have found the cOnstruc-
ton of such railway to have been pc
culiarly easy and that the proprietors
of interstellar space had not been ex-
orbitant in their terms for right of
way.
Therefore, with view to encourage
traffic, the directors have made the fare
exceedingly moderate-viZ, first class
ut 1 penny per hundred miles. Desir-
ing to take advantage Of these facili-
ties, a gentleman. by way of providing
himself with small change for the jour-
ney, buys up the national debt of Brit
ain and a few other countries and, pre-
senting himself at the office, demands
a first class single fare to Centauri.
For this he tenders in payment the
price of the ticket, f1,100000,000.
Having taken his seat, it occurs to
him to ask:
"'At what rate do you travel?'
"'Sixty miles an hour, sir, including
stoppages,' is the answer
Then when shall we reach Centau-

been drawn out into the light and had
Stammered his honest excuses, he laid
the ribbon wrapped packet in his
lady's lap and would have turned and
fed but his limb; seemed to have lost
the power OF locomOtiOn.
Eleanor swiftly united the ribbon
while Dickie watched her adOringly.
He was not afraid of her. ever, but Of
the big strange gentleman with the Sc
rious eyes.
"Oh, oh, OH cried Eleanor. What
a dear, cunning little heart" She held
up heart shaped pin tray between
her eyes and the light. And it's
bisque, real bisque But who sent it,
Dickie Boy?"
Il bought it, l did," assured Dickie,
swelling with dignity.
"Why, Dickie, Dickie Boy! Wherever
In the world did you get so much
money" she said tenderly, drawing
him down to her side and pushing back
his locks Of hair while she looked into
his eyes.
Worked" answered Dickie laconic-
ally, displaying his hard, brown little
hands. which showed unn.Itakable
signs of wrestle with stubborn soil.
"Oh, Dickie, Dickie Boy. And you
did all this for me?'
DO more'n that for you, 1 would.
I'd do anything for you" said he stout
ly. AN l wanted you to have some
thin to remember me by when you
was gone"
Involuntarily Eleanor turned to the
grave face behind her. Blair had not
spoken. He was looking at the cliffs
which frowned darkly against the glow
Of the sunset sky, are it suddenly
struck her how deep were the lines that
loneliness and pain had carved. Quick
ly she glanced down again at the ador-
ing small countenance on her arm.
Years before Blair's face had worn
that same look Of bOyish idolatry. The
remembrance of it touched her now as
his manly devotion had failed to do.
III keep the little heart always,
Dickie," she said, rising from the sand
and STOPPING to kiss the boys forehead
as she did so.
AN you won't break it?" inquired
Dickie anXlously. Eleanor smiled
strangely. The bit of bisque had come
to her as token.
mo, Dickie Boy, l shall never break
any more hearts, l think-never any
more" Turning to the man, she said
gently: Blair, dear, I'd like to walk
up the hill and see the last of the sun
set VIII you Gomez"
The man stopped at sight of the
girls face. There was about it q
strange radiance that touched while it
uplifted him.
And as the two went up the hill to-
gether Dickie followed at a respectful
distance, turning handsprlngs.

HENRY BELLS COMET.
The First Steamer That Piled For
Hire In Great Britain

The First Steamer That Piled For
Hire In Great Britain.
Among the curioSities of advertising
may surely be placed the first ad-
vertisement of the first steamer that
piled for hire in Great Britain-namely,
Henry Bells Comet Thus ran the adj
vertisement in the Glasgow Courier of
1912:
Steam passage boat, the Comet, be-
tween Glasgow, Greenock and Helens-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scrlber having at much expense fitted
up a handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
Greenock-to sail by the power of
wind, air and steam-he intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomielaw
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state Of the tide and to leave Greenock
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
in the morning to suit the tide The
elegance, comfort safety and speed
Of this vessel require only to be proved
to meet the appreciation of the public,
and the proprietor is determined to do
everything in his power to merit public
encouragement. The terms are for the
present shillings for the best cabin
and shillings for the second, but be-
yond these rates nothing is to be al
lowed to servants or any other person
employed about the vessel"
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could he have seen his
humble little Comet, of whose elegance,
comfort and speed he was SO proud,

 Barnstable, Mass. Sept. 2s.-The Mayfiower, with President Roosevelt on board, started back for Oyster Bay at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
 When the Mayflower turned into tho bay this morning, headed for the tar get grounds. the men of the fleet had been astir for hours. Thick clouds Of smoke indicated activity in the fire rooms. The ships had previously been cleared for action.
 Soon after the Mayfower had come to an anchorage, the President went on Board the Missouri, his flag was run up at her peak and shortly after g o'clock the battleship steamed out into the bay in the direction of the target ground Shortly afterwards the man. ouvres were in full play. The move ments of the battleships and of the smaller craft were observed by large number of spectators on short. For more than three hours the warships continued maneuvering, while fre- quently the faint discharge of the smaller guns being fired could be heard on shore.
 At 12:45 the target practice with the big guns began.
 At 1:40 o'clock the Presidents flag was hauled down from the Missouri and the Chief Executive left the battleship to go on board the Mayiower, which departed soon after
