The Scene Challenged Comparison With That of An Eiecetion Night In New Yorl<--Many Women
 Faint

Melbourne, Aug 3l--The streets of Melbourne late tonight were filled with snrging good-humored crowds number ing hundreds of thousands. all out to do honor to the visiting Americans who arrived here on Saturday aboard the sixteen great battleships, and the scene challenged comparison with that of an election night in New York, though happily the ear-ticklers and blasts frnnn tin trumpets were dispensed with. The crush in the principal thoroughfares was so great that many women fainted and several persons were injured
 The entire day was set apart to tol- liication and the day will ever live in the memory of the Inhabitants of Vic- toria. The Federal Government tonight rendered banquet to the admirals and senior officers of the visiting warships at the Parliament House. at which Lord Northcote. Governor General Of the Deakin. made brilliant speeches throughout which prominence was giv- sn to the friendly feeling that ex- fists between the Commonwealth and the United States. Rear Admiral Eperry commander -in-chief of the American fleet, replying in behalf of the American fleet. declared that a rupture between the English speak ing nations would not only be a loss. but crime.
 Tonight Admiral Sperry was present. ed with an address by the Common wealth Parliament.
 Tonight the city is a spectacle of magnificence and splendor. All the pub lie buildings are ablaze with electric lights. notable in this respect being the Commonwealth State building and Princess Bridge of the Central Railway. where striking1y illuminated picture of the battleships were displayed. The iliuminations on shore were held In conjunction with an electric aud search light display on board the warships In the harbor.
 Earlier in the evening. a picturesque torchiight procession was held in which the metropolitan and country fire bri- Eades, numbering about 2.000 men, took part. The parade started at the head quarters of the metropolitan fire brigade and was disbanded over Princess Bridge.
 Rain commenced to fall at a late hour. causing a preoipitate retreat homewards. The dense crowds converE- ing towards the railway station forced the women and children into perilous positions and many were extficated with diffieulty after being considerably bruised. Two persons were seriously ana several others slightly injured.
 All records for passenger traffic on the railways have been shattered since the arrival Of the fleet

 The Planet saturn.
 The great world has now appeared, to remain with us for the rest of the year The observer may remember that last year this planet was at the point F. Figure I. but since then in its long thirty year journey around the heavens. It has reached the posi- tion F. where 1t may be very easily found since there are no other bright stars near. Through moderately large telescope the greenish ball, with its delicate shadings and the wonder full rings which encircle 1t, form a most beautiful and interesting object. The largest moon, Titan is visible even in a small telescope, while on clear night a glass of three or four inches aperture will show four more but the faintest satellites are only visible in the very largest telescopes. The planet is 5000 miles in diameter. and is whrlinE around on It's axis with such velocity that points on it's equator are carried forward more than 22,00e "A ss 70 1Ia Qt1 that It has not yet cooled sufficiently to have formed crust: the whole mass IS so expanded by it's enormous heat that 1t is lighter than water.
 But the most wonderful feature of this system is the strange rings which surround the planet These appear as a Hat circular disc 173. GOO miles across shape being almost exactly that of a disc cut from thin paper. The rings weigh very little (their mass is so small that their pull on the Satellites of Saturn is not sufficient to disturb the motions of these little bodies in the slightest measurable degree) and 1t is now known that they are merely swarm of countless meteoric particles each revolving in its own orhit about the planet. As to the size of these little bodies we know very little. They may be similar to the meteoric stones which fall or the eaftn, or they may be as a mere dust film of wreath nr fog Tn the latter case it iS probable that viewed from Sa turn they would only appear as n faint arch spanning the sky and not at all the conspicuous objects they seem to us.
 Many astronomers believe thaA our own faint zodiacal light is a similar flat ring of particles which surrounds tho sun and extends beyond the orbit of the earth.
 At present the earth and sun are both below the plans of Saturn's rings, as shown in Figure 3. and we see these well widened out, but they will grow rapidly narrower during the next

CALDWELL IS SINKING.

 New York. Aug. 31.--Dcath may de- In the case of Robert Caldwell, known Maker" who Is wanted in England on a charge of perjury in connection with the celebrated Druce case.
 MT. Caldwell. who Is we'll along in years and who failed physically and mentally after the famous trial in which Dukedom was the stake is in the Manhattan State Asylum of Ellis Island Ills condition Is such that 1t is probable he will never ienve the In- stitution alive. He Is sinking grad ually.
 Most of his time is spent in bed !" said pr. William Mason, Superintend- ent of the asylum, 'and he Is very weak mentally and physically. There may be no immediate danger, but his condition is not promising"
 Tn the extraditlon proceedings, under which 1t was expected to take Mir. Caidwelf back to England, a postpone ment was taken to August 2s and then the case was postponed indefinite ly on the report of. pr. Mason.
 The English government is repre- scented by Charles Fox as attorney and the defendant was to have appeared before United States CommissIoner Alexander where the extradition hear. ing was to have bee nheld.
 Caldwell's action as to his relations with the Duke of Portland was stamp ed as perjury and proceedings to pun ish him for testlfying falsely In affi- davlts were immediately instituted.

 The test was made with a twenty horse power motor.
 The anchor was dropped from the stern and held the boat stationary When the bottom was opened the bal loon shot ahead at full speed. Those who witnessed the trial said 1t was very satisfactory. It is the purpose of the anchor to save the lives of aeronauts who are blown out to sea In case the balloon was being driven out to sea. anchor would be dropped and signals made for help. If any ships appeared. the anchor could be re- leased and the balloon would rise and go on again without sacrificing very much gas.

 What removes from the problem the element of simplicity is that the nets weigh about thirty pounds and have handles twelve feet long.

 He appeared rather amused and puz. zIed over the statement that the gov ernment had been em barrsased by his attitude "as a public character In America" and his disposition was to smile In talking about 1t. The nlin- ister added:
 "what few speeches have made since my return to AmeficA have been mainly to colleges and universities and have been educational in character and in furtherance of the effort to cement the friendship between China and the United States.

He always has been popular character in this county and the expressed opinion everywhere has been that he has done much to cement friendly relations between the United States and China.
