THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
Whence II Comes and Whittier It Goes
No One Knows.

Whence II Comes and Whittier II Goes
No One Knows.
The solar system is well enough
when picturesquely expounded, but
when the solar system becomes a mere
atom travelling some 4OO,O0O,O0O Of
miles per annum toward some incon-
ceivable goal, and when millions Of
similar systems have TO be contem-
plated, all pursuing some similar
course, the lay Imagination is COM
pletely badled.
Nor is it easy to believe that the most
eager astronomer is not sometimes
perplexed and dismayed by the vistas
opened up before him. For everything
ne learns merely opens up vaster prob
lens, and when he has extended his
vision TO stars from which light would
take 1900 years to reach this earth he
IS no nearer finality than the child
who thinks the sky but a spectacle of
revolving lights.
We are told that the heavens as we
see them are occupied by two great
streams Of stars moving in opposite
directions. That suggests at least two
centers OF revolution at some unimagi-
nable distance and adds to our aching
embarrassment. We ask, Whencel
WHITTIER? And with all our science
there is no answer-LondOn Times.

FISHES IN SLEEP.

IN Most Species They Experience a
Change Of Color.
The way fishes sleep Is a study
which few people have taken up, but
which is nevertheless very interesting.
They are very light sleepers and fire.
quently assume singular positions, but
the most remarkable thing is the
change of color which the majority
Of them undergo while asleep. Usual
ly their spots and stripes become dark
er and more distinct when they have
successfully sought temporary OBJ
livion.
Sometimes the pattern Of their col
bring is entirely changed. The ordi-
nary porgy. for instance. presents in
the daytime beautifully iridescent hues
playing over It's silvery sides, but at
night. on falling asleep, it takes on a
dull bronze tint, and six conspicuous
black bands make their appearance
on its sides.
II It is suddenly awakened by the
turning up of the gas in the aquarium
it Immediately resumes the silvery
color that It shows by daylight.
Naturalists ascrlhe these changes to
the principle Of protective coloration"
and point out that the appearance Of
black bands and the deepening Of the
spots serve to conceal the fish from
their enemies when lying amid the
eaweeds.-Buffalo Times.

A BOTTLE
Jay could's Millions.

Jay Gould's millions were at one
time in danger. 1t was in 1878, and
their fate depended upon the fuctua-
tions in the gold market. Gould saw
his precarlous position in time, md so
enormous was his power and influence
that he maneuyered himself out of the
difficulty. In fact, when it was over
he was weather. than ever About
ten years after this happened there
were dark rumors about his affairs,
and it was limited that the great Gould
was not what he was supposed to be
in a pecuniary sense. He disposed of
these doubts in a very simple man
ner. He invited a number Of gentle
men to his private Office, and when
they arrived he laid on the table be-
fore them for examination certificates
Of stocks in his own name to the value
of $53,O0O,00O and said that if they
wished he would lay $2O,OO0,O00 more
before them.

At Sea on Msskst.

A funny scene occurred many years
ago I'm congress. A present Of Ara
bian horses, a sword. etc. arrived from
the imam Of Maskat for President
Adams. A western member with
some heat moved that the gift should
be sent back, with a letter from CON
gress informing the ruler OF Maskat
that the president of the United
States was no king, but the servant Of
the people, and was not permitted to
give or receive presents.
Another member rose. "Such a let
ter, Mr.. Speaker" he said, "can easily
be written. But where is it to be sent?
Where is Maskat?"
There was no response. Apparently
not a member Of the house was pre-
pared TO answer, nor could Maskat
then be found I'm any atlas published
In this country. II was found at last
on a German map. A civil answer
was returned. and the geographers
made haste to insert Maskat in the
next edition of their maps.

Jones Advises Bryan.

1t is asserted on good authority
that ex-senator James X Jones, OF
Arkansas, Who was chairman of the
Democratic national committee dur
ing the Bryan campaigns, has writ
ten letter TO the peerless leader
advising him to keep out of the next
presidential race. Mr. Jones declines
to discuss the mater, pleading that
he is now practicing law in Washing
ton and no longer in politics. There
is good authority, however, for the
statment that he has written the lee
ter.
The ex-senator and ex-national
chairman is very close to Mr.. Bryan
and the latter has much confidence ir
his political acumen. 1t is said that
Mr.. Jones urged Bryan to keep our
of the fight on the ground that he
was foredoomed to defeat if he be-
came a candidate.
The statement given out by the
president of the George Washington
University that Mr.. Bryan would
have an important political an
rouncement to make when he comes
to Washington this month as a guest
Cd the university has kept many peo-
pie guessing, but since it has become
whispered about that good friends
like ex-senator Jones have advised
the Nebraskan not to be candidate
the nature OF the announcement IS
not so vague, although there is. as
yet, no positive knowledge that Il
will be his withdrawal from the pres
idential race.

Victory for America.

The approval at Monday evenings
session of the committee on arbitra-
ton of the Anglo-American project
for obligatory arbitra-io. is regarded
as great victory, especially for the
United States. The first proposition
on this subject was presented to the
conference at The Hague on July S
by the American delegation, and Jo-
seph H. Choate, the first American
representative, has worked unceas-
ingly and determined. for its accept
ance
The project was approved with a
majority greater than was hoped for
1t is essentially American, and its
basis, the enumeration of the idea of
compulsory arbitration, was taken
bodily from the American PROPOSE
ton. The vote was 81 ayes TO Q noes
The vote proved that, as M Renault
(France) said in the discussion: ar
bitration is not a strange beast that
must be muzzled" Another great
success for America was the unanim-
ity with which all the countries of
the American continent stood firmly
at the side of the United States, thus
putting an end to the impression of
lack OF harmony among the govern
ments of the Western hemisphere
created by reports OF recent dissen-
sions.

Rockefeller Lucky Man.

Since his election to membership
in the American Press Humorists'
association a year ago, John ID. Rock,
efeller, the Standard Oil king, has
not missed an opportunity 10 get of
his little joke at the expense of am
one available.
The other day il was on half a
hundred artists, interviewers and
Camera men at New York city. Last
week, the New York Central railroad
issued an order that thereafter its
fast trains would make but regular
stops and under no circumstances
would be tagged at the country
homes of rich men.
Rockefeller came through on the
Lake Shore limited and because OF
the order the interviewing party wait
ed for him in New York. Mr.. Rock
efeller was up early, however, and
the conductor told him he couldn't
get off at Yonkers Later, however,
he was informed an order had been
received for the fast train to stop at
Yonkers to take on board officers OF
the Hudson River division.
When the train stopped the Rookie
Teller party alighted and were driven
at once to Pocantica Hills. Rookie
Teller remarked to the conductor on
leaving that this will be a good joke
on the army OF newspaper men that
want to see me in New York"
Mr.. Rockefeller refused all inter
viewers at his winter home.

Thaw Wants Early Trial.

Attorneys for Harry X. Thaw
started an action Friday by which
they hope to force the setting OF the
date for his second trial for the kill
ing of Stanford White, early in No
vember. Notice of motion was
served on District Attorney Jerome,
returnable Monday morning, order
ing him to show cause why a date
for the trial should be set at once.
The criminal court will open Mon
day when it is intended to take sew
eral insurance cases. Thaw's attor-
neys make the plea that the insur-
ance defendants are at liberty under
bail, while their client is in the
Tombs and therefore should be given
precedence.

Envelopes are Barred.

and also insure the stamp on them
being Cancelled in regulation fashion.
are doomed to receive another blow
The cards apparently have added
value when they bear a Cancelled
stamp, but when sent through the
mails in the ordinary fashion are
likely to become soiled and possibly
broken. Some ingenious person hit
upon a solution of the problem by
producing very thin envelope,
through which the address on the
post card might readily be seen, and
with an aperture cut so that the
stamp on the inclosed card might be
cancelled. Directions have been re-
ceived at the postoffices from Wash
ington that will spoil this plan.
The edict provides that postage
stamps affixed to post cards or postal
cards inclosed in envelopes having
an opening exposing the stamps can
not be recognized in payment of pos
tage of the envelope and its Enclosure
In other words, the stamp so exposed
is ignored just as much as though it
had simply been placed within an or
binary envelope for the benefit of the
recipient of the letter.
The directions continue by explain
ing that. However, where such
cards, properly addressed and pre-
paid-bearing no matter rendering
them unavailable when sent openly
in the mails-are inclosed in envel-
opes, it will be assumed that they
we're inadvertently placed under COW
err and they may be removed there
from and dispatched without addi-
tional payment of postage" In other
words. the post cards bearing stamps
will be calmly removed from the en-
velopes, provided these envelopes are
unsealed and redeposited in the
mails to be forwarded to their des-
tination
