POWER FROM THE PLANETS.
Stellar Influence Measured by ScieI
 lists of the Naval Observatory.

Stellar Influence Measured by Scien-
 lists of the Naval Observatory.
 Among the earliest Ideas of mankind concerning the stars was the popu- lar belief that they exercised some mysterious power over the inhabitants of the earth. This notion gave rise to astrology, whose superstitious prac- tices still find votaries even at this late day The advance of science long ago put an end to astrological fancies in the minds of well-informed people, while in place of the old mo- tions about the influences of the stars new conceptions, not less wonderful in many respects, have been formed.
 We know, for instance, that if the law of gravitation prevails, as we have a reason to believe it does, among the stars then every star in proportion to it's mass and It's distance exercises an attractive influence upon the earth and, of eourae, upon every tnhabitant of the earth. These attractions, how ever, are necessarily so slight that we have as yet no means of detecting them.
 In some other respects, however, the influence of the stars can be meas ured. The heat that comes from scene of them has been thought sufficient to effect delicate thermopiles exposed to their radiation, although this is still open to some question.
 Of late years experiments have been conducted which, if they are to be trusted, reveal distinct electromotive power exercised by the stars. Using a refiecting telescope of two feet aperture to concentrate the stars rays and sensitive eleetrometer to note their in- fluence. two scientists of the naval ob- servatory at Washington believe that thav ha ve heen able not only to detect but to readily measure the eleetromo- tive force of both stars and planets.
 To Venus. for instance, they asertbe a force of about seventeen one hun dredths of a volt and to Jupiter force of at least three one hundredths or a volt. Tn the case of Jupiter only a part of the planets light fell upon the electrometer, SC that the experiments infer that it's entire electric Influence must be much greater than that stated, Sirius, which appears to us as the brightest of the fixed stars showed a force amounting to two one hundredths of a volt.

Some ardent temperance people have even gone so far as to claim that this soda fountain beverage contained alco- hol. These comments in some Iocalt- ties were of such nature thar few og the city health boards, and in one or two instances, the state board, and even some newspapers have taken 1t up. It Is gratifying to know that this great southern drink has been able to show clean bill of health wherever it has been investigated.
 Recently, the New Orleans Picayune had Coca-Cola analysed and after learning the result of the analyses. they published a two-column article en- dorslng the healthfui proerties of this famous soda fountain drink. pr.
