There is a perpetual fascination about
the stars and the immense distances at
which they lie from one another and
from US. To demonstrate the vast dis
tance Of Centauri from this planet
popular scientist gives the following
Illustration In London Answers: 1--WE
shall suppose that some wealthy direct
ors, for want Of outlet for their en-
ergy and capital, construct 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 a railway to have been pc
culiarly easy and that the proprletors
Of interstellar space bad not been eS-
orbitant in their terms for right Of
way.
Therefore, with view to encourage
traffic, the directors have made the fare
exceedingly noderate-viz, first class
at penny per hundred miles. Deslr-
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 feE 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, f1.100,000,000.
"Having taken his seat, 1t 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-
rI?'

Bryan at Madison Square Garden, New

The complimentary letter of William

answered by Secretary Loeb,
The president had determined some
time ago to refuse all proffered engage
ments during the summer. and Secre-
tary Loeb needed no further consulta-
tion in sending declination.

Such notifications follow marriages,
births and deaths in the ruling families
of the European nations. If the presi-
dents message Is made public 1t viii be

that two regiments garrisoning that inn

and presented a series of political and

the men replied that they would be
satisfied only with compliance with all
of their demands. The mutineers still
command the situation, but are not In

complicated by the fact that In Samara

LOSS OF GRAND CHALLENGE orr
PrOvOkes Much Comment and searchsnu,
of Heart in London.

London, July 6.-The capture Of the
grand challenge cup at Henley by the
Belgian crew representing the club
Nautique de Gand, provokes much
newspaper comment and searching of
heart on the debatable question of the
Brltish and foreign styles of rowing.
The majority Of rowing men appear to
still pin their faith to the Eton swing
as against the Belgians short stroke
and are inclined to think that had the
Leanders been able to put on repre-
sentative crew to defend the cup the
Belg.ans would have been defeated.
The Daily Graphic thinks the incident
Is likely to accentuate the anti-foreign
agitation and expresses the hope that il
change is made it will be in the direc-
tion Of providing and endowing an ex-
ira national race at Henley and not for
the exclusion of foreigners, adding that
IN any case if the proposal Of Mr..
Fletcher, the Oxford coach, that no
further entries for the Henley regatta
of any American rowing club be ACCEPT
ed should be adopted. it would be al
most national calamity.

Mrs. Thaw Denies 1t But Copy Of M
Affidavit Made by Her is Said to Rxist
May Play Prominent Part in the
Evidence Introduced by the Prosecu.
tiOn in Coming Trial.
New York. July 5-Conficting stories
as to the existence or non-existence Of
an affidavit made by Evelyn Nesbit in
a breach of promise suit which 1t is al
legged she took steps to bring against
Harry Kendall Thaw prior to her trip
to Europe and marriage later to the
young Pittsburg millionaire, were told
to-day by persons interested in the
investigation of the Thaw-White mur-
der Early In the day Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvan was quoted as
saying that there was no truth in the
story that he expected to come into
possession of the alleged affidavit and
further that he had no reason to believe
such a paper existed.
Counsel for Harry Thaw and Mrs.
Thaw herself added tieir denials to
the report that there had over been
such an affidavit made or contemplated
The reports were said to be circulated
by some enemy Of the young prisoner
and We're wholly untrue
Later in the day private detective
who had been engaged by Stanford
White to Shadow Harry Thaw was ex-
anined by Mr.. Garvan. and said he had
submitted his reports to Howe & Hum
mel and Delaney Nicoll, attorneys.
Following this came a statement at
tributed to the district attorneys office
that it was known there that the Nes-
bit girl had visited the office of Howe
q Hummel; that she did have a con-
sultation with Mr.. Hummel, and it is
alleged that the affidavit in question
was the result Of that interview. the
case being Mr.. Hummels personal mat
ter, and not a part of the office busi-
ness.
1t was further stated that while the
district attorneys office had learned the
affidavit was really made, it had been
destroyed upon the reconciliation of the
Nesbit girl and young Thaw The affi-
davit was said to have been in Mr..
Hummel's custody at the time of its
alleged destruction. There was fur
ther report current tonight that the
district attorneys office had been in
formed that a record of the alleged afi-
daVit exists, is available and will play
prominent part in the evidence intro
duced by the prosecution at Thaw's
trial.
