 When the sun is completely eciipsed the beautiful scarlet colored promi- nences may be seen. extending out from behind the moon to enormous distances. There are eruptions of va rious metals and gases at an incon- ceivable high temperat ature, which are being violently elected from the sun It was in these prominences that. 1t was discovered, thirty years ago. that a new unknown element named Helium existed 1t was not until twenty years later that this element was found on the earth. It Is remarkable that Hel- lum which resists liquifcation more stubbornly than any other gas, IS found in meteroic stones-those Visi- tors from outer space-Rnd that all though 1t Is so rare on the earth it'i of very common occurrence both in the stars and in the nebulas.

 Capella Now Exactly Overhead Striking Astronomical Events During 1907.
BY PROP. DOOLlTTLE, Astronomer of the University of Pennsylvania,

Several striking astronomical events will occur during the year 1907. In the first place, there are two ecllpses
 of the nioon.f the first partly and the second wholly visible In the United States. Twice also during the year the moon win pass between the earth and the sun cutting of the light of this body, but neither of these eclipses will be visible here. Then on Novem- ber 12 the rare phenomenon Of transit of mercury will occur. We will see this little planet pass be- tween us and the sun looking like small round, black, ball as 1t drifts across the brilliant solar disc. Ac- curate measurements will then be made of the planets position. from which It's distance and size will be deter mined. and it's appearance will be closely studied to learn as much as possible about the atmosphere which

AS THE CHIMES RANG
By Nettie sandford.

 Ruth looked out of the window and shivered. From below rose the roar and din of the holiday crowd, the jar ring note of a myraid of horns punct- uated by the sharper tone of the watch mans ratties that this year were divid- ing favor with the horns as an audible expression of New years Joy.
 It would be two hours yet before oid Trinity's chimes would ring out the old year and give welcome to the new There were few if any who would near the bells when they did ring, De- cause of the din, yet this was made the rallying point of the crowd and 1t would be long after 12 o'clock before 1t dls- persed. They swarnied down the side streets for a couple of blocks around. To get home she would have to torce her way through the crowd.
 Carefully she counted the small change in her purse and closed it with a sigh It would never do to waste car fare for the short ride. She had ling cred at the office to clean up her work in preparation for New Years. It would be no happy New Year for her' for the trial balances she had so neatly copied showed that no profit had been made, and as soon as the receiver couid be brought in her work would be done.
  would be an extravaganza.
 As she tidied up her desk and, laid the typewritten sheets on the desk in the bookkeeper's cage, she thought or the year before, when she and Jeff had come down to hear the chimes. They were to have been married in the spring but Jetf had been offered a position in California and had gone out. promising to send home for her. Then his letters suddenly stopped with one announcing that he had married a half-breed wom- an. with a gold mine to replace physl- cal attractions ass.esa.--1 .as r.
 It would be very different tonight with no one to force a way through the crowd for her. She huttoned her shabby coat tightly about her and made her way downstairs. Some of the cleansers shouted out Happy New Year after her and she called hack. but her voice was tired and listless.

Most Florence people work every day
in some strained. unaural position, bend
ing constantly over a desk, riding on
jolting wagons or cars. doing laborious
housework, lifting reaching or pulling,
or trying the back in hundred and one

wear, weaken and injure the kidneys un-
til they fall behind in their work of ill
tering the poisions from the blood. Do
ans Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys put
strength in bad backs. Florence people
can prove it.
