of its kind in the world. Here Mrs.
Fleming has the entire charge of over
100000 plates, all of which she exam
ines and discusses with her assistants.
These plates are the complete record
of the sky for every year since 1890,
and partial records of the year 1886.
In the course of examining these
plates Mrs. Fleming has discovered
large number of variables and con-
firmed the discovery of several new
stars. BY her zeal and skill the num-
Der of known stars whose spectrum
is of the third type has been increased
from 1000 to 5000. while the rare
class of fifth type stars has been
raised from 16 to 81
Mrs. Fleming has also discovered
over 200 new, valuable stars, by means
of the bright hydrogen lines in their
specters, and has been able to prove
their variability in each case from the
Photographic charts of the same re-
gions.
In 1890 she announced, from its
spectrum, that a certain star in the
constellation of Cygnus was variable,
and (among other achievements has
the distinguished honor of being the
first discoverer of the planetary ne
bulae, by means of photography.
A number of new stars have been
discovered during the last Is years,
and six of them are Mrs Fleming's
discoveries-Noya Persli, No l; Nova
Normae., Nova Carinae, Nova Cen
tauri, Nova Sagittaru and Nova Aqui.

Louis Cavens, owner of the farm of
Mont. ST. Jean, to buy 1t and turn
it into park or historic museum in
memory of Waterloo. But England
wants none of it. The count has
written some frantic letters to the
London papers and there has been an
anaemic subscription list, but they
avail nothing. Besides. Englishmen
have delved into records, and find the
farm was not part of the field of Wa
terloo, but was the headquarters of
the medical division and a long way
in rear of the action.
A really magnificent monument,
however, has been erected recently
to the British officers and men who
fell at the great battle of 1915. 1t is
not on the field of Waterloo, but in
the cemetery of Evere, on the out
skirts Of Brussels. The monument is
at the entrance OF the cemetery 1t
consists of large stone sarcophagus
covered with a great cross. over this
tomb is the British flag in bronze, APP
parently ruflled by the wind. At the
head stands giant figure Of Britannia,
her head bowed in woe. Around the
tomb are three huge dying lions and
between their figures, in seemingly
abandoned piles, are broken guns and
requirements, uniforms and the gen.
eral debris of battle.
Bronze shields and slabs on the
tomb record the names and regiments
and heroes alike At the back
flight of stone steps leads into the
tomb. All the bodies possible were
gathered from the field of Waterloo
and inferred in this tomb, the ground
for which was given by the city of
Brussels. 1t is an imposing monu-
ment and a magnificent piece of sculp-
ture; in fact, one of the best of the
Belgian sculptor, Count de Lalaing.
The Americans who visit BRUSSELS
this year should not miss it.

SILENCE IN COURT
IS Literal HERE
Juvenile Cases Conducted
by Judge De Lacy in Very
Subdued Tones.

The new Juvenile Court IS a new de-
parture IN the fullest sense Of the word
as far as a court is concerned. There are
few features Of similarity between the
new institution and the higher courts
OF law In the District
The most noticeable difference be
tween the new court and the other
courts in the District is that il is con-
Quoted almost In silence. The prisoners
are not arralgned as in the Police
Court and other courts in the District.
The judge is informed of the charge
against the prisoner and in a subdued
conversation, that can be heard by none
Of the other spectators in the room, the
Judge informs the prisoner of his fate,
after questioning the witnesses and
hearing the prisoners statement also.
Judge De Lacy explains that the Tea-
son for this procedure is 70 make the
trial OF the person as private as posi-
bic. He is a strong believer Ia the mild
method Of correction in preference TO
punishment All OF his sentences yes
terday were tempered with kindness
and evident interest in the welfare or
the child.
who were present at the opening OF the
court yesterday say that the procedure
a [ the new court, While possibly a Dene-
mt 10 the great mass OF chlloren. IS not
lawful The opinion was expressed al
the Police Court this morning that the
trials which are being held az the IN
fant tribunal were unconstitutional, ana
that all Of those persons convicted could
be released on habeas corpus proceed
ings on the ground that they had not
been given constitutional trial. Those
who believe that the method OF pro-
cedure at the new court is unlawful
contend that 10 make the trial a valid
one the person accused must be arraign-
ed in the court This they say lays
the method open 70 criticism.
Little work for the new court was
scheduled for today, but the judge and
his officers are expecting rush or
! business for the NTH Of the month
I Last year the day was a gala affair in
! the Juvenile Court. There were about
thirty offenders brought 10 trial as a
result Of their zealousness in celebrating
/ the natal day Of American liberty.

Opinions of Lawyers.

That the above letters presented by
the complainant are a colossal piece Of
forgery is the opinion OF leading law
yers at the Allegheny county bar.
Their presentation in court was a tre-
mendous shock to the community. In
stead Of being the writings Of a woman
more or less distressed and suffering
mental anxiety at the outcome OF a
most noisome divorce suit, II is claimed
by many who have analyzed them they
bear evidence OF having been carefully
built UP and constructed for the express
purpose Of proving q case. Every let
