This is not a joke. 1t is a brief dis
sertation on astronomy. A variable
star is one whose brightness has been
observed to diminish or increase. The
best known variable is in the constela-
ton Perseus. 1t was called by the
Arabians Algol, which means the de-
mon star. This shows that the Arab
ans knew a thing or two themselves.
Algol, which is larger than our sun, is
partially eclipsed every days 20 hours
48 minutes and 554 seconds by an in
visible body about the size of our sun.
In observing this phenomenon it is nee
essary to have in mind the fraction Of
second; otherwise you will be liable to
miss it. Algol is so far away from the
earth that we do not hear the rush of
the wind as the two pOnderous bodies
rush around each other Compared with
the distance of Algol, the diameter Of
the earth's orbit, which is about 1885,
100000 miles, shrinks into an invisible
point. When one reflects upon the
vastness of such distances and the al
most unimaginable activity displayed
when two such tremendous bodies re-
volve around each other at a prodi-
gious speed without hitch or change
in the programme, the excitement
about the amount of our gas bills
seems puny indeed.-Portland Orego-

Grass Seed AduIteratiOn.

Circular No 10, Office of the secre-
tary of agriculture, states that in car
rying out the provisions of an act of
congress 251 samples of seed of Ken
lucky blue grass and 265 samples Of
orchard grass were obtained in the
open market and examined. OF these
forty-one samples Of seed of Kentucky
blue grass were found to be adulter-
ated with seed of Canada blue grass,
while 1873 samples of orchard grass
seed were found to be adulterated, the
seeds most commonly used as adulter-
ants being English rye grass and
meadow fescue, the value of neither
being more than one-third to one-half
that of orchard grass seed. That the
adulteration of orchard grass is very
general is evidenced by the fact that
samples containing adulterants were
obtained from twentyfour states. The
names and addresses of the seedsmen
who sold the lots found to be adulter-
ated, together with the percentages Of
adulteration in each lot, are also pub
lished in the circular.

'''s may 0'''''l 9'l the excavations.
In cases of extreme abundance hoWev-
er, almost the entire main root except
the bark is eaten out, the substance be-
ing displaced by excreta, and the dead
top either becomes detached of itself
or is easily broken off if one attempts
to pull up the plant.
Over the territory where red clover
is grown in this country the seed is
sown either during late winter or
spring, and during the first year the
roots Of the plants have not yet attain
ed sufficient size to accommodate the
insects; hence it is not till the sum-
mer Of the second year that the roots
are destroyed.
The only preventive measure yet
tried that gives any promise of success
is summer following as soon as the hay
crop is removed. At this time the
young are in an immature state and, if
deprived of food, must perish But if
the following be delayed even for a
few weeks the larvae will then have
for the most part passed into the pupal
stage during which no food is required,
