NEW MISSILES FOR WEDDINGS

1t is quite singular how of late years
decided objection to the ancient Gus
tom of rice and slipper throwing after
the bride and bridegroom has sprung
up so much so that several eompara-
lively new ideas have of late come
almost universally into vogue.
Instead of the hard rice pellets, which
occasionally are thrown with too much
vehemence to be pleasant. some brides
go In for substituting the tiniest ladies'
slippers as well as horseshoes made
entirely of soft silver paper. These re-
semble a sparkling shower of silver.
Cther brides lean TO providing their
friends with dried rose or other sweet
smelling leaves to be thrown after
them.-Gentlewoman.

bright day star. the sun, in all its
majesty and glory. as the sun ex-
ceeds the earth. Each star in the ce-
lestial procession may be pouring
forth supplies of heat and light and
swaying by its attraction the motions
of attendant earths like ours.
The fact that these stars are con-
stantly urging their way through the
heavens leads us to a consideration of
what has been termed star drift. Ev-
cry star is in motion; for the So
called fixed stars" long ago broke
away from their moorings and began TO

DO YOU KNOW?
Perhaps You Do
PerhaIs You Don't

1t will come as surprise to most
people that the. big dipper. is going to
pieces. Astronomers are now perfect
ly sure that the seven stars. in the
group familiarly termed the great dip
per are slowly but surely drifting
apart.
The breaking up of this partnership
was first detected by the writer's faith
er in 1869, while he was at work on two
maps of all the northern and southern
stars whose motions have been ascer-
tanned. To each star in the maps he
attached a little arrow indicating the
direction of it's motion, and he found
that while five of the stars in the great
dipper were drifting in one direction,
two of them were going the opposite
way. Consequently, hundred thou
sand years hence, the great dipper will
have altered in appearance and no
longer justify it's name. The handle
of the dipper will be bent almost dou-
BILE, and the dipper, with one end fiat
tened out level with the bottom, will
show it's utter lack of utility as COM
pared with a dipper in good condition.
If there are inhabitants on our
planet at that remote period, they will
wonder when turning over the leaves
of a star atlas of the present time why
these seven stars were termed the
great ulDpSIy just DIS VIC HoiAuNA ~"
why the constellation Ursa Major, of
which the great dipper forms only d
small part, was termed in ancient
times the Great Bear. 1t does indeed
require a stretch of the imagination
to see an outline of a bear in those
stars as they appear to us now.
Stars Not Stationary
That the stars are slowly shifting
their nngifinnG in the SkX infer
from their light waves The light from
a star travels across the ether that fills
space in tiny waves, ten to a hundred
thousand being packed within an inch
These waveets travel at a rate that
would encircle the earth seven times
in a second. Each wave has a crest
like the ocean wave, and the length
of the wave is measured by the dis
tance between the crests. 1t has been
found that when a star is moving in
our direction the waves of light are
shorter than when it is moving from
us.
By this method the observations
made by my father in 1869 have recent
ly been confirmed by DIR. Ludendorff
who gives the following interesting
facts as a result of his work: He finds
that five of the stars of the Great Dip
per form a system, placed at a dis
tance of about one hundred light years
from us, each star moving at the rate
of twenty miles a second. Since
light year is measured by the rate at
which light travels Zone hundred and
eighty-six thousand three hundred
and thirty miles a second). multiplying
this by the thirty-one and a half mil
lion seconds in a year, and the result
by one hundred, we gain some faint
idea of the enormous distance of these

A POPULAR FAlLACY

The generally accepted belief that a
person Is useful in proportion as he
Is busy is controverted by a writer who
says: Il have dog that loaded up
with meas. In the summer time, when
the fleas are plenty, that is the busiest
dog ever saw; when he isn't biting
az the fieas' he is swapping at the fieas
he never has minute to spare. but
when he is the busiest he is the least
account for practical purposes. And
there Is young fellow in my neigh
porhood who has a Waterbury watch
ana ne smokes cigarettes When he
isn't winding his watch he is lighting
cigarette. He is a mighty busy Young

star that moves at the rate of only
mile a second, the average speed be-
ing ten miles. At this rate a star
traverses more than 315,OOO,0O0 miles a
year. The stars are travelling forever
on a journey of which we know neither
the beginning nor the end. As the as
tronomer poet of Persia expresses It,

stars from our planet. Added to this,
each of the five stars is separated from
the others by distance equivalent to
thirty light years. Yet they are drift
ing onward as. one family, as though
drawn together by some irresistible
power of attraction.
The truant stars Alpha and Eta, on
the. contrary form another system at
essentially the same distance, but,
comparatively speaking, almost at rest
in space. There are the known facts
of the case regarding the drift of the
seven stars in the Great Dipper after
due allowance is made for the motion
of our own sun: for by the same
methods that have shown that the stars
are drifting, we have learned that the
sun shares in the general motion, urg-
ing it's way in the direction of the
bright star Vega.
A Journey to Starland
In one of his lectures, Professor
Newcomb once remarked that he never
felt more delicious sense of repose
than when, crossing the ocean durins
the summer he could iind place on
deck where he could be alone and en-
ioy the starlit heaven. Looking up at
I.yra, with Vega near the zenith, While
listening to the clank of the engines,
he tried to calculate the hundreds or
millions of years the ship would require
il it made the same tourney as the
sun.
But the journey is one in which we
are all unconsciously engaged, on our
great ship Earth as 1t circles the sun
which in turn is drifting onward IN
the solemn procession of stars Inc
widest imaginings of eastern story
tellers, with their magic horses anu
enchanted carpets, seem splrltiess IN
comparison with the story told by the
flx.raxr frnt
not more surely whirl us to our destln-
alton than by this solar migration we
are swept in the direction OF vega.
Who would not wish to see with an
all-seeing eye the sun and It's tamlly
drifting onward through space! Al
ways gathering new material and adu-
ing comets and meteor swarms TO its
domain, the sun sweeps on ana the
obedient planets follow; but whittier
they are going or how the celestial
tourney will end, even science cannot
tell.
A Celestial Procession
A most fascinating discovery has jlst
been made by Professor Boss regard
ing a moving cluster of thirty-one
stars in the constellation Taurus. These
stars represent literally a flight OF
suns" all drifting in the same direc-
tion, with an average velocity OF about
twenty-five miles second. There are
stars marching in widely extended
ranks, by concerted plan, along a
prescribed track, under orders sealed
perhaps forever to human intelligence"
They are all urging their way onward
through the star depths with a veloc-
ity compared with which the swiftest
motions known to us are as absolute
rest.
Each star in the celestial march is a
glowing mass of gas, thousands of
times larger than the globe on which
we live. They may even rival our

COMMERCIAL EXPERTS
Of JAPAN ARE COMING

Advices received recently by the
board of commerce announce that the
fifteen honorary commercial commits
sioners from Japan, who are to make
tour of the United States this fall,
will be in Detroit ABOUT October J..
These commissioners will be headed by
Baron Shibusawa, who visited the uni
ted States number of years ago to
make study of commercial organiza-
tions. Largely through his influence,
chambers of commerce along the lines
of those in this country were started
in the principal cities Of Japan. In
Japan, however, they are closely allied
with the government and exert a great
deal of influence in formulating legis-
lation. Frank G. Ryan, president of
Parke, Davis & Co., became well ac-
auainted with Baron Shibusawa during
visit to Japan and says he holds the
highest rank in the commercial life or
the empire.
The japanese commissioners will be
accompanied by fifteen trade experts
and when they start their tour from
the Pacific coast they will be joined
by fifteen American trade experts. Five
of the latter are to be appointed by
President Taft, from government de-
partments, the other ten will be select
ed by various commercial organizations
of the United States, working in
groups. For instance, Detroit, Grand
Rapids, South Bend and Indianapolis
are associated and will have the selec-
ton of one expert.
The japanese are coming to this
country strictly on business and it is
not proposed to have their time taken
up by promoters and theorists during
their visits to manufacturing plants;
nor will they waste time studying an
industry in Detroit if they have studied
similar one in some other city. Ac-
cording to letter received by Secre.
tary G. B. Sawyer of the board of COM
merce, from the Seattle chamber of
commerce, entertainment is not even
desired. So banqueting, sightseeing
and other amenities will be cut out.
Some of the japanese will be accom-
panied by their wives and the board
of commerce will see that they are
entertained while the commissioners
and experts are at work.
After the tour of the United States
is finished, the American experts will
go to Japan to gain information of the
things which Japan has for export
which can be disposed of in this coun
try. The exchange of visits by the
experts is full of significance as affect
ing the future trade and friendly rela
tons between the United States anC
Japan, and in addition it is believed
that it will result in more extensive
use Of American-made machinery il
Japan, and that eventually this, trade
is likely to be extended into China
