DAILY STORY
THE PLANET VENUS
[Original.l

Avis Burnham was Il young girl who
may best be described by adiectives
beginning with the letter "p" She was
pretty, piquant, pleasing. l regret to
say that there is one adjective begin
ming with ''p" that does not describe
her. She was not pious. She was rath-
er perverse, and especially was she per-
tinacious.
Miss Burnham had recently made
the acquaintance of Edwin Summers.
a young astronomer who was astonish-
ing the world with marvellous discover
les. Miss Burnham had intimated to
Professor Summers desire to visit his
observatory and had been told that no
one was admitted.
Not long after this refusal. while
Summers was at work computing, he
received Il card bearing the name of
Mrs. Amelia Hubbell Bodman. Now,
Mrs. Bodman was an English lady
who had worked with her husband and
achieved distinction for herself in as
tronomic photography. Summers had
not been aware that Professor Bodman
or his wife was In America. He wei.

Wrecks and Rails.

II is astonishing news to some peo-
pie that some of the most prominent
operating officials in the country who
were attending the meeting of the
American Railway association i'll Chi
CagO are attributing many of the disaS-
trous wrecks on American railways to
the inferior quality of steel rails
Everybody knows that owing to the
tariff, steel rails of American manufac
ture are sold in this country for Il num-
Der of dollars more per ton than the
price at which they are disposed of in
European markets. 1t would be nat
ural to reason from this fact that the
steel rails which are used in this Coun-
try are at least equal in every respect
to those which are sold abroad. But
railroad wrecks in Europe are far less
frequent than in America.
In the vernacular of the gambler, the
player who is beaten both ways is
"whipsawed." Is it possible that the
American consumer is being whip
sawed i'll the purchase of steel rails
Is he, in other words, through the mag
iC operation of the high tariff. paying q
heavier price for the worst than the
European consumer is paying for the

The conviction and sentence of May
or SChmitZ of San Francisco is one of
those anomalies in legal procedure by
which a desired end IS reached with
out applying the law that governs the
crime aimed at.
Now Mayor SChmitZ's conviction was
not on the charge of accepting brides
from public corporations, but on the
charge of eXtOrting money from the
French restaurant keepers-a relatively
minor one compared with the bribery
indictments in connection with the gas
and street railway franchises, on which
he still awaits trial. That SchmitZ's
administration as mayor was corrupt
and criminal there is no doubt in the
public mind; and there has very nat
urally been a clamOr for his punish
ment as an official who was bribed by
corporate interests doing business with
the city This crime is a most heinous
one, and the full penalty of the law is
not severe enough for the aggravated
case in San Francisco. 1t is, there
fore, not surprising that Mayor SchmitZ
being convicted on the testimony Of
Abe Reuf of boodling in the French
restaurant matter, should be convicted
and sentenced as punishment for the
greater crime of selling out the city
interests to public service corpora
tions. There has been much done TO
ward purifying the public affairs o.
San Francisco by the trial and convic
ton of Abe Reuf, the boss. and Schmitz
the mayor They should both be pun
ished to the limit of the law for thei
crimes against the public. But unless

1t began to look as II Mrs. Bodman

I'VE are preparing for observations

'at the approaching conjunction. We

do you use the meridian circle for
these observations or the equatorial?"
asked the little woman at a venture.
1.-THE meridian circle" replied Sum-
mers.
Hemust have spoken in irony. for the
instrument for the purpose would be
Of no more use than a spyglass.
They were looking up at the instru-
ment referred to, brass telescope, its
axes resting on stone columns, under
narrow slit in the roof This was all
the opening necessary since the cir
cle' was fixed to sweep only the me-
ridian.
II don't see," remarked Mrs. Bod
man, "how you can observe the stars
through that strip up there in the
! roof"
"Oh. use this instrument when I'm
tired. l go to sleep on the observing
chair and wait till the star I wish to
observe comes along"
"a good idea" replied Mrs. Bodman.
I'll suggest it to Professor Bodman."

coined The lady cordially, expressing Il
great delight at receiving so diStin-
gIIished Il person Mrs Bodman. like
most women of brains, was not beauti-
full She wore blue spectacles-sh
said she had injured her eyes observ-
ing-there were deep dark burrows in
her face, and several of her front teeth
had been lost without being replaced.
Summers invited her to inspect the OBJ
servatory, taking her first to the equa-
torial room.
"Our object glass" he said, sis a
thirty inch achromatic lens. 1t has not
the reach of some of the larger glasses,
but has admirable defining power.
What is the size of your glass at the
Trickenhurst observatory
"Ours? Why, think ours is a forty
nine inch"
Now, the professor knew well that
no such glass had ever been ground.
But he was a polite man and possibly
thought Mrs Bodman had worked
especially with Photographic instru-
ments and had got the sizes mixed.
At any rate, he did not take notice of
the blunder
''In here" he continued. sis our
