in a German Law Court.

A German law court was the scene lately of an amusing incident. The magistrate, tiresome and long wind. ed person, was deciding a small case in which the plaintiff claimed damages for abuse. "ro call man pig or 8 dog" replied the judge, lis certainly an insult, but to say that he is pig dog is offensive. for no such animal exists. The plaintiff glared at the bench. "Schweine -Hund!' he remark cd. with bitter emphasis.-T. P.'s Lon don Weekly.

TO Stop immigration !
CONTINUED from page u

81 the two governments have viewed
the future with apprehension it the
immigration question were left un'
disposed OF. With neither govern.
ment desiring war and each doing all
in its power to avoid it, both might
nevertheless be forced into war, Inc
danger is that there might be an anti
Iapanese riot in San Francisco or
elsewhere on the Paeif Coast, Ihis
would stir up popular passion both IN
the United States and Japan. In TINS
country it might easily be followed
by public opinion demanding and Sc
curing the enactment by Congress
Of 4 japanese exclusion bill. This, IN
turn. would infame public opinion IN
Japan. For long time it has been
believed BY the best-informed othe'
ials and diplomats that the enactment
OF an exclusion law by the United
States would be inevitably followed
by war with Japan. In settling the
immigration matter, it is understood
there is no treaty, nor even an ex-
change Of formal notes, but that none
the less, the so-called yellow peril
lis ghost laid to rest.

BOUNDING THE INFINITE.
Are the Number Of Stars In Space
Without Limis9

Are the Number Of Ssars In Space
Without Limis3
How many stars are there? II u not
known, but most astronomers believe
the number Is not unlimited. The ar
..iment is that with an infinite uni
verse Of stars the heavens woAld be
one uniform blaze Of light The more
distant stars are, OF coarse, DINNER;
some are too far away to AFFECT the
naked eye at all. but no matter now
slight the units an infinite number OF
them would produce the effect de-
scrfbed.
AS there Is no uniformly blazing sky,
the number Of stars, though possibly
immensely great. must be limited
This argument is supplemented In a
recent astronomical paper by similar
one drawn from gravitaton. Every
star, no matter how distant, exercises
its own power Of attraction on every
other heavenly body. including our
earth.
However, as the earth's center Is
farther away from the attracting body
than its surface is. particles on the
earth's surface are attracted with
greater force than those at the center,
and the practical result is to lessen the
force with which the earth's mass Is
held together.
Now. If the number of stars Is inf
mite. this decrease would be 50 great
( that weight on the earth would practi
cally cease to exist. Moreover. the
same conditions would prevail every
where throughout Il bOundless universe
and probably all masses would be dis
rupted. That this result does not oc
/ cur is a proof. we are told, that the
number Of heavenly bodies in exist
ence is not infinite.
These arguments make certain as
sumptions that may or may not b.
granted; they can neither be proved no.
dfsproved. The argument from light as
sumes that light waves are transmit
ted through space without loss; tina
from grayit2tion assumes that thu
same thing is true for gravitatlona
attraction.
If light or gravitation Is absorbed 0
lost in some way when passing from
star to star, the number of stars ma,
be infinite after all At It's best th
speculation Is more curious than con
clusive.-Chicago Record Herald.

With Numerous Specimens For Mu,
scum in New York.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l4.-Dr.
G. A. Dorsey, curator OF the Guild
Museum OF New York arrived here
Yesterday on the Pacific Mail liner
Korea with large collection OF
valuable scientific specimens which
he has gathered in the Orient for the
museum. DR.. Dorsey began his in
vestigation in Egypt where he un'
covered the tombs OF the fifth dynas-
ty. He spent some time in India
where he made a study OF Hindoo
culture. The curator spent a large
part of his time in Australia wher@
he made a study Of the museums oI
Melbourne and Sydney. He crossed
the Island of Bougainville which he
said had never been explored by =
white man. This island which is IN
the Solomon group is 90 miles wide
and it is so densely wooded that hy
was five days in crossing it. The
doctor said that the natives Of the
islands are entirely uncivilized, wea:
ing no clothing and sleeping in the
hollow trunks of trees and holes il
the ground.
Dr.. Dorsey made his largest col
lection on the coast Of New Guicn'
where he gathered an extensive 10
Of native implements. He will pro
ceed directly to Chicago where h
will place the collection in the Fielc
Museum.
