A German astronomer has recently

Of the sun consists OF six c0lOrs. and
the reason things are different hues Is
that some swallow up five Of the colors

a restoration of the control of the

to join in such a movement, we call
upon all members of the organization

struct such a platform, and place upon
It candidates that will rally the sup
port of a united party, and enlist in
their behalf the Independent voters

Reed, negro child, will have partly
white face when she leaves the West
Jersey hospital She was badly burned
at her home in Palmyra while paying
near a bonfire, and the physicians at
the hospital for time feared her life
could not be saved. They ten called
for patches of skin to graft on the
child. Several of the nurses volun
teered and large patches of white skin
now cover the child's face. The physi-
clans are interested in the case. espe-
cially in noting whether or not the
white skin will ultimately become
dark, as that of the child before sh q
received the burns. The grating is a
success
