Discovery of a Planet.

The glory of discovering the big
planet belongs to two men. An astron-
omer in Cambridge and another in
Paris, each quite ignorant of what the
other was Going, applied themselves to
the task simultaneously. Each indie
pendently declared that if the laws
of motion and gravitation were true
there must be at certain spot in the
heavens a certain mass of matter hith-
erto unknown to astronomers. The
presence of such a mass of matter in
such a place would account, they said,
for the disturbances that had been no
ticed in the movements of Uranus.
When the telescope was turned to the
point indicated the planet which we
now know as Neptune was discovered.
This brilliant piece of work was done
by Leverrier and Adams on the 23d
day of September, 1916.

A GRAIN OF MUSK.
Perfume Diffuses Odor For Years
Without Losing Weight.

Perfume Diffuses Odor For Years
Without Losing Weight.
Wonderful stories are told of the
number of years that some of the old
Egyptian perfumes last, but we need
not go to Egypt to find a thing like
that We have it here in the common
perfume, musk, says Chicago News.
1t is said that grain of it will diffuse
an oder through a room for twenty
years, and you know, perhaps, that all
perfumes give off their odOr by send
ing their particles through the air
that is to say, by giving of all the
time little parts Of their own sub
stance. How small, then, must these
particles of musk be when after
continuous diffusion of them for twen-
ty years the original grain has suffered
no diminution of weight.
But you can find an illustration of
this wonderful divisibility of matter
nearer home. Ask scientist about
drop of blood that falls from your cut
finger, and he will tell you that it is
a drop of liquid in which are floating
a million red globules and that these
give it it's color. And these million
globules may be divided into smaller
globules still. Finally, take the famil-
lar illustration of the thread spun by
the spider. 1t is so fine that $4,000
miles of it would weigh only eight
ounces, and yet it is made up of
thousand filaments.

Natalie Of the
NeighbOrhood
House. Il By A GEeIEY
Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated
Literary Press.

Neighborhood House was Natalie'S
charity by inheritance. Her mother
had founded it and had met the def
ciencies in its exchequer from time to
time. Natalie was not sentimental, but
her mothers pathetic anxiety about
Neighborhood House during her last
illness had touched the girl, whose life
had been devoted to the pursuit of
pleasure.
Why Natalie should turn to the
Neighborhood House in her hour OF
hurt pride only Providence could ex-
plain. To her the working girls toward
whose comfort, education and pleasure
her checks had contributed might as
well have been in Persia or China, so
little did she know them. In a vague
sort of way she thought of them as
moles who came out of their holes at
night and blinkingly, even duly, en-
joyed such pleasure as women of her
kind provided for them.
So when she came upon Maggie Con-
molly face downward in the pillow of

stood looking down upon the fearful
one with strange. brooding eyes.

First Run on a Bank

The first run of which we have any
account in the history of banking oc-
Cured in the year 1867. At that date
the bankers Of England were the gold
smiths, who had short time before
begun to add banking to their ordinary
business and had become very nu-
merous and influential. In 1869 the
Dutch feet sailed up the Thames,
blew up the fort at Sheerness, set fire
to Chatham and burned some ships of
the line. This created the greatest
CONSERVATION in London, especially
among those who had intrusted their
money to the bankers, for it was
known that the latter had advanced
large sums to the king for public pur-
poses, and it was rumored that now
the king would not be able to pay the
money. To quell the panic a royal
proclamation was issued to the effect
that payments by the exchequer to the
bankers would be made, as usual. In
1871 there was another run on the
Nondon banks, when Charles II. shut
up the exchequer and refused to pay
the bankers either principal or inter-
est Of the money which they had adj
vanced. On this occasion many Of the
banks and their customers were ruined.
