1T seems that The Herald and News
was imposed upon in the communica-
ll"n, which was printed and which
was signed II. p. Duckct.
We did not know Ii. p. Duckrt
but we knew there were good MANY
buckets III the ncighborhood of Whit
mIrr' and we presumed that there
was such Il person as II. p. Duckct.
We have inquired from a number Of
persons of that community and they
all say they do not know any one by
that name.
There was nothing, as we construed
1t, that was very Objectionable in the
article. bue we though we were
prlntin" il on the authority of some
one who lived in that community.
The article, which was printed in
Tuesdays paper in reply, was signed
James O. Shell, but it should have
been James O'Shicl, so we arc in
formed.
AS stated in Tuesdays paper, The
Herald and News appreciates the
good people OF Whitmirc and the pro-

ertheIess, if we admit that the planes
of all the orbits of the Quadruple sys-
tenn coincide, then we may calculate
the dimensions of the secondary sys-
TENS. The semimajor axes are.
1.o35,s74 miles for the system of the
second magnitude.
S91,719 miles for the system of the
third magnitude.
s'Thesc figures arc only approx
mate; they represent about the hum
dredth part of the SUMS distance from

small when compared with the earth's,
are still small with relation to the

making a revolution of $50 years, must
have en- orn.ous orbital dimensions.

Mrs Bowser could control her feelings
no longer. She burst out laughing,
and it was three or four minutes be-
fore she could control herself. Then
Mr., Bowser was looking at her with a
cold glarA. He kept it up for two
long minutes and then laid the half
patched trousers aside and said:

suited in my own house, and human
nature can stand no more"
"But I had to laugh. 1 think that

She tried to stay him, but in vain.
He left the house for the street with
tears in his eyes and wandered up one
street and down another, and the
south winds sighed and moaned, and
the crickets called to each other that
all was lost and the policeman on his
lonely beat stopped him to say:
Look here, old man, I've got my
eyes on you. and If you try any mon

BOWsER, THE MARTYR.
He Comes Home to Do Sewing and

Mrs. Bowser needed but one look
into Mr.. Bowser's face as he reached
home the other evening to show that
something was out of gear with him.
His shoulders bumped up. his under
lip stuck out, and he had the sulki-
ness of a boy going to a licking. In
reply to her statement that he was fif-
teen minutes late he took from his
pocket a ball of red Irvine and three
darning needles and muttered that he
had to stop at a store and buy them.
But what on earth are they for ?"
she asked

ten as result of Andrew Carnegie'S
suggestion that all estates of over one
million dollars should revert to the
state on the death of their owner. The
fact is, however. that Mr.. Hutchinson
arrived at the idea quite independently
of Mr.. Carnegie. By an odd coincidence
the second chapter in his book, In which
this idea is fully outlined was written
on the 18th day of December, 1906 On
the evening previous Andrew Carnegie
spoke before the Civic Federation in
the suggestion in question came to the
notice of the author in Wisconsin, on
the following day. Mr.. Hutchinson was
at once struck with the coincidence,
and Immediately mailed copy of the
first two chapters of his book to Mr..
Carnegie, calling his attention to the
date of authorship.

QUADRUPLE STARS.
To the Naked Eye They Arnear Like
Single Points of Light.

It is hard to believe that a star
which appears to the naked eve as a
single point of light is a system of
celestial bodies moving in orbits so
vast that hundreds of our years are
| required to traverse them. This how
ever is the status of more than on. of
| what we called fixed stars" and pro-
baby of very many more than we
know. One of the most interesting
cases Is that of the star Castor, loES
known to be double and recently dis.
! covered to be quadruple, consisting Of
two pairs of stars. The members of
each pair move in a small orbit with
period of few days, and the two
pairs, as wholes, move in a large orbit
with period of over 300 years. Says
a writer in Paris Cosmos, in a note on
this curious and wonderful system:
1T has long been known that Castor.
the fine star of the constellation Gen1ini
is not single body, but a system
formed of two component stars of the
second and third magnitude, which ere
easily seen separately through the tele-
scope; these two stars describe AN
elongated elipSe about their common
center of gravity, and complete their
vast revolution in $50 of our terrestrial
years.
1.-THE use of the spectroscope method
which ena bles US to ascertain and
measure the velocity of objects in the
direction of the line of vision, has ex-
tended our ideas of this stellar system.
In 1896 Mr.. BelopOlsky, of Pulkowa OBJ
S6rVatOry, announced lfldl the cOHlpOn-
ent of the third magnitude, the less
brilliant of the two. was itself a dou-
BILE star, and that the revolution of TIE
two members of this system required
only three of our days.
ION the other hand, Mr.. Curtiss,
of the Lick observatory, has examined
in its turn the component of the sec
ond magnitude, and has found that 1t
also forms a system of two stars. with
a period of nine days. He adds that
the orbit of this latter system has
considerable essentricity, while that of
the system studied by Belopolsky is
nearly circular. Thus Castor is q
Quadruple star.
ITO ascertain the dimensions of the
two secondary systems it was neces-
sary to know the inclinations of their
planes to that of the principal orbit.
This point is left in doubt by spectro-
scopic methods, and, on the other
hand. while the movements of the
principal system may be watched
through the telescope, the same lenses
are incapable of separating the COM
ponents of the secondary systems
which appear as luminous points. New
