French Astronomer Clears the ceIes. tial Bodies of Charge of Re sponsibiIity for Seismic
 Disturbances.

With the help of the astronomer. Camille Flammarion, of France, the sun and moon have pleaded not guilty to causing the earthquakes with which this terrestrial sphere has been afilict- ed of late and have proved an alibi. Astronomer Flammarion, while admit ting that there are few coincidences of eclipses with volcanic action, etc., declares that these are far surpassed in number by the convulsions in which the moon and sun are not in position to affect the earth. And having thus been cleared of complicity in the re cent disasters it is not likely that the

The Bald One is in good condition and

will come near that figure on the Fair

of good following of scrap fans in so
