SOME STARS

.One-half the world doesn't know how the other half lives, and more than one-half doesn't know what the other fraction is doing. For instance, ad- dressing the members of the Royal So- ciety the other day Professor schuster mentioned that as a result of the Inter- national survey of the heavens 4500, 00O stars have been recorded by photog- raphy, as against 342,000 catalogued be- fore this stupendous work was under taken. It is hardly likely, however, that all these stars will be catalogued, as the delegates at the Paris confer ence nineteen years ago decided only to catalogue down to the eleventh mag nitude, though the plates show stars three magnitudes fainter. Seventeen different nationalities have been co-op- erating in the production of this astro- graphic catalogue, each separate oh- servatory being allotted a definite zone of the heavens, and being responsible for the reproduction of its own photo graphic plates and the compilation of the companion catalogue.
 The first half of the Greenwich Ob- servatory section of the catalogue was completed two years ago, and the final volumeis expected this year. Nearly 2O0,- 900 stars have been recored at Green wich, and in the compiling of the cat aIogue extreme care has been taken tc neutralize the effect of personality as factor in introducing probable errors in the delicate measurements of the plates and the determinations of mag nitude Some 10000 plates have beer taken for the complete cataIoge, and as it costs a shilling to make the copy of each plate at Greenwich, and rather more at the other cooperating observ- atories the work will scarcely become popular. At present there is no inten- ton of placing the chart on sale. suf' ficient copies being made only to sup ply each observatory and a few learn ed societies.

WOMEN WHO WORK FOR WAGES

 says the alarmist to the young wo-
 men, If they are young enough, they answer, in their hearts, Nonsense! !''-- whatever their lips may say; as they grow older, the inner repudiation may become tempered with a faint doubt
 It is certainly true that the modern
 man-'of the educated world-marries less early and often than did his grand father and any grandmother can give you the reason. But, in spite of the increased cost of living, in spite of the turn given by sport to energies that once knew no outlet but love making, and in spite of the comforts of cubs and bachelor apartments, still many men do marry I wish I could say that the modern preference is clearly for the alert, self-helpful woman of affairs, the girl who has mastereda profession or the one whose trained mind can put through real estate tranfer or a deal in May wheat; in time I believe that this may be true, but, as yet, a li- mited personal experience says other wise. We have travelled a long way since the odious Dr. Maginn made his sneering comment, "We like to hear a few words of sense from a women as we do from a parrot, because, because they are so unexepeeted" but the level head is still outrivaLed by the ecurly head, whether we like the admission or not.

 The Shane of the World.

They tell us in our childhood days The world is round, and we, With youthful heedlessness, accept The doctrine easily. When we are grown to mans estate We are so overwrought With constant struggling we've no time To give it's shape thought. And last, when we approach the end And see how small lot Of stuff we've gathered as compared With what some folks have got, What we were told comes back, and we Are quite prepared to swear Whatever other shape it has, It surely isn't square.

4 BIG RAILRoAD WORK.

Railroads do big things nowadays,
 as anybody can see by looking at New Haven's cut. The Great Western Rail-
 way Company of England has nearly completed a remarkable work which is
 likely to have its effect on transatlantic traffic. This is the construction of a new port at spot called Fishguard bay. on the Pembrokeshire coast. At a spot where the sea only few years ago washed against the sides of hills rising abruptly to an elevation of 82O feet, there has been created an entire- lv new port on an area of 27 acres of land. This area has been secured first by blasting for depth of 150 feet and +o height of 200 feet into the hard rock of the hills, and then using the debris to reclaim the land from the bay alongside, and in part, also, for the con- struction of a powerful breakwater. In this way it is calculated that 100000 tons of rock have been torn from the hillsides; but the final result is the pro-

There are several ways of making a living. The Paris police have gathered in an accident society whose members made living by getting hurt. The "ac- cident" always occurred in a quiet spot in the suburbs of Paris. One of the band riding bicycle would man. age to get knocked down and run over by a cart. The rest of the members were witnesses of the accident" and unanimously agreed that it was en- tirely the fault of the driver. An ac- tion for damages followed, and the in- surance company had to pay the in jured man the amount of the policy he held. But suspicion was excited by the fact that it was always the same people who appeared as witnesses or victims, and in the end the ways of the confederation were discovered. During the eighteen months existence of the ''voluntary Accident Society," it had made s2.00O, and a lot more money

A syndicate of Pittsburg capitalists has taken steps to develop a large de- posit of vanadium under a concession from the Peruvian government, Vana- dium, which is a grayish-white powder, melts at a very high temperature, and, as an alloy, has been introduced in small quantities in the manufacture of iron and steel, giving the finished metal remarkable strength, resistance and tooughness, to such degree as to make practical the manufacture of ar- mor plate and projectiles at one-half the customary weight and thickness with greater sustaining qualities. Its scarcity heretofore has prevented its extended use. With a larger supply further uses are expected to be found for it in the chemical trade and else where.

A LESSON IN FIRE INSURANCE

 City of San Francisco.
 Louis Windmuller, writing in the American Monthly Reviews on 'Fire Insurance Lessons from San Fran cisco's Experience" says;
 Probably the best policy to pursue will be for the underwriters to offer and for the losers to accept such fair compromises as the circumstances in each case seem to justify. Prompt set clements will give to both patries an early opportunity to consider means to recoup their lesson without being hampered by the consideration of an noying controversies.
 No water was available to Quench the flames; the earthquake had de- stroyed the pipes in which a private corporation brought it from the Pillar citos Creek and Crystal Springs Lake thirty miles distant If underground flexible conduits had carried salt water across the city from the bay to the ocean, a distance of only six miles, and II nlSn- pressure puiHpS dl dll cun- gested street corners had furnished the fremen with enough salt water run ming through such canals, the fire could have been promptly subdued

THE PATRICK CASE.

The case of Albert T. Patrick, the convicted murderer of William Marsh lRice, grows in interest, as 1t grows in length. He was arrested for the crime October 4, 1900, and was convicted March 26, 1902, Since the sentence was imposed the penalty has been delayed first by an appeal for new trial made to Recorder Golf, who originally tried the case; then by arguments before the Court of Appeals for a new trial and a stay of execution; then by re- prieves from the governor granted to permit the preparation of newly dis covered evidence in the prisoners be- half, and to allow Recorder Golf time to examine this new evidence and to decide as to the second plea for new trial which had been filed by Patrick upon the strength of that evidence. And now comes the action of Justice Day, which, through the operation of a writ of error, takes the case before the Supreme court of the United States. The court will not consider the issues involved before October and then de- cision is not likely to De immediate

A curious story of nesting-place chosen by birds comes from Germany. "A pair of redthroats have built their nests upon a freight car running be- tween Marbach and Heilbronn. It con- tains four eggs, upon which the female is now breeding. The curious part of the story is that the wagon is in daily use, either in transit or in loading or unloading. The male bird feeds his mats, flying to and from the truck while in motion, and, unlike some human travellers who pay for their tickets, he has never been known to miss his train The starting signal invariably finds him at his post near the nest.

Paris fonors famous literary men by naming streets after them. The death of Henrik Ibsen has started talk of thus commemorating the great Norwe- gian. A dramatist of the lighter sort declared his readiness to vote for Rue Henrik Ibsen on condition that there should also be Rue Bjornstjerne- Bjornson. This. he explained, would not only be doing homage to the author of Beyond Human Power" but would be productive of amusing results in the case of cabmen.

A. B. & A. After
Track to Atlanta
Trying to Secure Right to
Run Trains into Capital
- Over A. & w. P.
Tracks.

An effort is being made blythe
officials of the Atlanta, Birming-
ham and Atlantic to secure track
age rights over the Atlanta and
West Point from Atlanta to La
grange, in order that passenger
; schedules may be inaugurated
between Atlanta and Brunswick.
The matter is now up to Presi-
dent Wickersham, Of the West
Point Route, who is out of the
city.
In the event arrangements can
be made this service will be es-
tablished early in January. The
route followed by the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic from
Brunswick to Birmingham is a
short line, and when the branch
to Atlanta from the main line at
Warm Springs is completed a
new route to Brunswick will be
opened which will be but a few
miles longer than the Southern
from Atlanta to Brunswick.
Notwithstanding this differ
ence of few miles, the officials.
of the new road believe firmly
that the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic can operate trains
between the two cities on better
schedule time than the Southern
thus making a formidable COM
petitive bid for the passenger
business. The new line opens
comparatively new section Of
south Georgia, and will bring it
within few hours of Atlanta.

"By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know
Them."

1t is true that the value and
character of nut bearing trees
are determined beyond question
by the quality of their fruit,
which important truth accounts
for the splendid reputation
earned by Mr.. B. Foil. of this
city, for selling only pecan trees
of the most excellent quality.
Wherever he has placed stock
in the past. the results have been
most satisfactory and the busl'
ness of his pecan nursery has
made most gratifying growth.
Mr.. Fohl is constantly enlarg'
ing his facilities and is without
doubt better equipped today to
dispense high grade pecan stock
than any nursery in the south.

Capt. Fred Ford as a Lecturer.

Lectures as interesting as a
stirring tale of adventure are
now being delivered at the Saliva
ton Army hall by Captain Fred
Ford, one of the most striking
personalities ever seen in Allan
ia.
Twenty years ago Captain
Ford was a saloon keeper at
Clevelahd, Ohio. According to
his own statement, he was out
for graft of the reddest hue, and
finally was imprisoned and his
family taken from him by order
of the governor of the state.
Then one day came his redemp-
tion, and since that time he has
been one of the most active work.
ers in the service of the army.
Prior to his conversion he had
always, as he declares, kept a
barroom, and rather rowdy one
at that.
