accelerated speed.
One Double Star Dark.
When. however. it is at the opposite
point in its orbit. the visible star is re-
treating from the earth, as far as its
orbital motion is concerned. and when.
as often happens, this motion IS more
rapid than the general motion Of the
two stars considered as a single sys-
TEN. the latter is blanked. and for the
tine being the visible star is actually
moviEg away from US.
IN the reverse case. which also often
occurs. where the two stars as a whole
are moving away from the earth, simj-
lar results follow from the orbitaI mo-
ton Of the visible star In those cases
IN which the direction Of motion does
not appear reversed, but only a change
Of speed. either If approach or recss-
sion occurs, the explanation is found in
the fact that the Orbital motion fs NOT

other times to retard It. but never TO
overcome it.
Proofs Of the Dual Existence.
There are two proofs that stars pos
sessinG these motions really are. as the
explanation suggests. double stars. The
first proof is direct. and is found in
the fact that some Of them can actually
be seen double with telescopes. the dark
star being entirely without light The
second proof comes from tie spectro-
( scope, which, by analyzing the light of
the visible star, reveals the shifting of
the spectral lines caused by its To and
from movements and furnishes data by
means OF which the motions OF the two
( stars may be disentangled. This proof
! depends, of course. upon inference. but
it fits in SO exactly with observed facts
that its validity cannot be doubted.

NEARLY PERISH
 ON DESERT

San Bernardino, Dec. l2-Toiling for weary weeks over the pitiless desert, without .he experience necessary to lessen it's dangers and only crude map toguide her, Mrs. Jetnie Grimes had narrow escape from perishing with her four children while driving overland from Utah, only their timely discovery by miners saved them. She started ftom Salt Lake City early in August, determined to reach Los Angeles and find her husband who had left her several months ago. Everything went well until after the party left the Mud- dy river, Nevada. Then she lost her way.
 Caught in sand and rain storms the children came down with raging levers. The water supply ran low, and for two days the horses were without drop of water. In this plight they headed for Death Valley, where Henry and Paul Morrison encountered them. Three of the children were delirious and one of the horses had died. Stranded thus, the little party would have perished. They had gone over 200 miles out. of their way, Tonight they passed through here on their way to Los Angeles.

OLD FORT
 NEAR NOME

Says the Nome Nugget: Standing near Glacier lake, like 8 giant sentinel, gazing out over the plains from which the life 1t knew has departed, is a re- msrkabIe relic of the dead past in the shape of great towering fort 50 feet in height, at whose base may still be found in grimly suggestive quantities piles of human bones.
 This fort has soOd unseen through out all these years of Nome's mining history until few days ago, when AL bert Fink, Gordon Hall aud Emil Leh- Ieldt happened upon 1t while On hunt ing trip.
 When talking about the matter to- day, Mir. Fink and Mir. Hall described the fort ss being so feet in height and occupying as much ground as the bank building.
 It had been bsEtlemented evidently when built, but now the battlements have decayed and their ruins are over grown with weeds and grass, which add the final touch to it's weird ex- terior.
 The trenches are still visible, aud prove that much care was exercised in the construction work. Bones were found around the fort in such quanli- ties that for some time the discoverers were forced to doubt their senses, but 8 careful examination proved clearly thai they were undoubtedly human.

WIRELESS WILL WORK ILL RIGHT
 IN ALASKA

There was i)y out at the wireless sta ton yesterday, says the Fairbanks NeWs of Nov. 8.
 Faint though 1t was the men were able to detect Circle City calliog for thsm Sergeant M;Rse gays there is no doubt about establishing communica- ton between the two stations, although It will take some time yet to adjust the instruments to perfection,
 Here they are! Here they srem cried one of the boys yesterday and in a minute every man except the relay operators was down in the operating room. Sure enough there was faint series of dots and dsshes. Nothing could be made out, however, as the dots were irregular, the instrument here either not being tuOed right or the men at Circle experimenting.
 Even with the signal being received a much-mooted question becomes an established fact, that is, that the wire~ less will work even where mountains intervene between s's.iOns. The two stations here were established tn a way with that purpose in view, to determine If such 8 system would work. Be- tween FairbanEs and Circle City there are two ranges Of mountains several thousand feet above the elevation of Fairbanks.
