"A YOUNG ASTRONOMER.


In childhood he had more affection

given few astronomical primers "a a

Finding it impossible to get good
translations of foreign works on as

learned three anguages-French, Ger.

Remarkable Precocity,

The annals of precocity present no
more remarkable instance than the
brief career of Christian Heinecker,
born at Lubeck, February 6, 1921, who
died June 81, 1725. At the age of ten
months he could speak and repeat ev-
cry word said to him; at 12 months
old he knew by heart the principal
events narrated in the five books of
Moses; in his second year he learned
the greater part of the history of the
Old and New Testaments; in his third
year he could answer most questions
on history and geography and learned
to speak Latin and French; in his
fourth year he learned the history of
the church and also learned to write.
His death was caused by his unusual
brain activity.

STRIKING RESEMBLANCE
OF MEN In PUBLIC LIFE

G TRIKING facial resemblances of
y men in public life and in official
circles in this city are frequently com
mented upon. There are three men
widely known whose similarity of
face and form is SO striking that
queer mistakes of identity are expe-
rienced every now and then. The re-
semblance of the president to his dis
tinguished secretary of the navy and
attorney general, Mr.. Moody, has al
ways been the subject of remark and
now and then of humorous mistakes.
Now that Mr.. Moody has been ele-
waited, or at least transferred, to the
supreme court of the United States,
he has come across another double
in the person of James Maher, clerk of
the supreme court.
When Justice Moody first met Mr..
Maher it was as member of the
house of representatives, when the re-
semblance between the two was re-
marked. Again when as attorney gen.
eral he had occasion to go to the
courtroom he occasionally saw his
double, and now as justice on the

his judicial gown any time and prac.
tically see himself as others see him.
Mr. Maher's resemblance to the presi.
dent is striking when in repose, but
when he speaks or smiles he is obliged
to acknowledge that owing either to
the subduing atmosphere of the court
or te the lack of dental qualifications,
he cannot vie with the chief executive
at the other end of the avenue.
The resemblance of Senators Aldrich
and Foraker is also striking, although
the distinguished senator from Rhode
Island plays the role of reticent gen.
eral maneuyering his forces on the
floor of the senate. while the senator
from Ohio acts the more striking part
of dashing officer with standard up
lifted ready for the fray. regardless of
the distribution of forces. If Mr..
Foraker's well-covered head were
matched by the hirsute adornment of
Mr. Aldrich the resemblance would
be complete. But standing side by
side they appear as brothers and their
similarity is frequently commented
upon.

ty about eight miles northwest of
Dyersyille stands just completed one
of the most beautiful Catholic
churches of modern times. 1t was

stone and its dimensions are 81 feet
wide and $50 feet long, and at the
transepts the church is "A feet wide.
Three beautiful spires adorn the
front of the church, and under each
of these there are massive arches and
also at the transepts supported by
strong buttresses giving to the struc-
ture five large portals. All the walls
are supported by well designed but
tresses and the ridges of the roof are
decorated with model cresting.
The height of the outside wall is 33
feet and the grand arch inside is 40
feet high and the side arches 40 feet
The basement contains large chapel
well furnished. The building is heat
ed by steam. The windows of the
church are of grandly decorated glass,
and the center of each represents
some figure or event spoken OF in
holy writ. The high altar is cne of
the best ever manufactured, and
everything that Gothic designs could
furnish to enhance beauty and devo-
tion seem to have come together here
in remarkable manner. The altar
table and tabernacle are made of
highly polished Italian marble inlaid
with mosaic work and the finals and
baldachins are richly decorated in all
that art can produce. The funds to

CENATOR RAYNER, of Maryland,

senators as to whether a joint resolu-

senate. Senator Rayner is anxious to
secure an overturn of both these judg-

has sufficient number of votes
pledged to enable him to adopt his res.
olution. Admiral Schley is now con-

whether he is willing to risk a viola
