Bfrks Ia shel1e has been enjoined from further
presentation of a version of The Heir to the
FIoora h. Z musical comedy that was popular two
seasons ago The injunction was granted yester-
dav b. Judge Hazel in the United States Circuit
Court in answer 10 the suit IF Dorothy Dorr Dam,
u1fe of Henry J. Dam and administrator Of his
estate. Nj. Dam the author Of The Trans
rlogrifcation of Dan a novel published in The
Smart Set on which Mrs. Dam sets forth was
based unauthorized dranlatization entitled The
Heir the Hoorah.'
In his opinion Judge Hazel said that II was
shown that the novel had been copyrighted and
that the dramatic version was made without con
sent OF the author. He held that Il sufficient.
for an injunction. t. prove that the dramatic YER
sion was adaptation of the original. and the
fact that the dialogue vas changed situa-
tions introduced not important since what
ever Of addition has been introduced does not OBJ
scure or euascuate the central figure Of the
story
In closing he said. PROBABLY the PLAY
drama can be revsmped to eliminate the aforesaid

La LANDE PRIZE YALE'S
Three Scientists DiscoUer ETdCt Dis
tances of Obscure Stars.

New Haven. Dec. u (SpeciaD.-The award of La
Lande prize OF the French Academy Of Sciences TO
DR.. Frederick L. Chase DR.. William L. Elkin and
Mason Smith. OF the Yale astronomical observa-
tory Is the result of thirteen years of study to
determine the distance from the earth of a Sc
iected class of stars. The work began in 1882 and
practically ended in 1906
Most of this work has been done by DR.. Chase.
who has computed the parallaxes of three-fourths
of the 1s3 stars The laborious Investigations are
spoken Of follows by Professor Charles 5.
Hastings of the Sheffield Scientific School:
One thing may be said to help those who p have ave
huge difficulties Of the work Suppose an engineer
were required to determine the diameter of hu-
one-haif mile; add the conditions that he cannot
control the temperature Of his Instrument nor OF
illumination are independent of his will and that
homogeneous. never perfectly transparent never
quiescent-then he faces difficulties comparable to
termines stellar parlllax
In spite of the unceasng efforts of the most
sk1lful astronomers TO obtain positive knowledge
of the approximate distance of fixed stars the re-
suit was nothing until 1885 when the first was es-
tablished and the start became known to astrono-
mers No. 81 CyEni Since that time there has
been gradual increase in knowledge in this do
main. although discrepancies are numerous.
Prior 70 the beginning of this work the parallaxes
Of to exceed 100 stars could be said be known
with any degree of accuracy. and these we're de-
termfned by various observers. 50 that here FOR
the first time has been furnished enough conpar-
able material for certain concentrations With re-
gard to the stellar universe. Dr. Ekin found that
the average distance Of first mas gnitude stars Is
more than 100000 times great as that Of the
from the earth distance four or five times as
great that found for No. 81 Cygni From tables
referred TO the following conclusions have been
deduced.
The proper motion is far more reliable guide IN
estimating the stellar distances than brightness
There is probably not more than one other star
in the northern heavens near to US as No 81
Cygni There proha bly, sixty stars whose aV-
erage brightness is only that OF the faintest naked
eye stars. whose average distance from the solar
system is about the same that of the first mag
ntude stars This applies. of course, TO the north
heavens only.
The last group in the Yale classification, accord
ing to nesrness, contains seventeen stars, whose
average magnitude is little below the sixth and
whose average distance is only twO-thirds the mean
of the magnitude stars in the northern
heavens The attention of investigators Will be de-
voted to this class in the future say astronomers.
Sir David Gill, speaking of the Yale researches as
compared with those of Kapteyn. says:
We have unquestionable proof from this COM
parison that knowledge of stellar distance now
rests a solid foundation

LORD noRTHcoTE SAILS FOR HOME.

Lord Northcote. who has been in this city sew
erai weeks on his way to England from Aus
ITALIA. where his term as Governor General has
expired. sailed for Liverpool yesterday. accom-
panied by Lady Northcote the " hite Star
liner Arabic Lord Northoote said that New York
had changed greatly since he first came here. in
the 7Os. Il thought when here last he
said that your skyscrapeT had reached its limit
but I find them now just double the height. For
various geographical reasons Australia will never
attain to such heights, and she will be spared the
conseouept congestion. I was glad the American
fleet visited Australia. II has done much 10
cement the strong relations that have long ex-
isted between the two countries Lady Northcote
said she had been particularly and -favDrably i'm
