THE MOONS STREAMS

The radiating l,ght streaks on the moons surface are explained in a new way by IF. G. Tom kins, an English astronomer who suggests that they are due to the salts of various minerals, brought to the surface by evaporation just as they are in arid alkali tracts in many parts of the earth,
 When beds of, solid salt or stra- ta partially filled with salt, ex- ist below the surface they often dissolve in subsoil water which rises to the surface and dries, leaving a white efflorescence.
 The radial arrangement of Mir Tomkins accounts for by suppos- ing molten matter to be thrown up from below, breaking the crust in radiating cracks and up- heaving the strata around the center of pressure. Saline strata around the center Of pressure would be pushed up- ward with the others and might thus bring them within reach of evaporation the efflorescence on the Surface thus following the direction of the radial cracks.
 On the moon the conditions are just right for shch a series of oc- currences. Though water in a free state does not now exist on the moons surface it probably did exist at some time, and the salty deposit that would form by evaporation would be very heavy because of absence of rain to wash it away. If rain should cease on our own planet a

BUILDING AND STOCK
 ALMOST TOTAL LOSS
White Bros. Store Burned This Morning. Fire Originated in Moving Picture
 Show. Cause Unknown

Last night about 12 o'clock the TheatOrium, situated on West Main street in the Denman build ing was discovered to be on fire. A prompt response to an alarm and quick work on the part of a number of our citizens soon ex- tinguished the blaze.
 Nearly everyone had gone home and were just about getting to bed again when a second alarm of fire was given. The fire which was supposed to have been put out had burned through the ceil- ing of White Bros. store and had made such headway before it was discovered that it was almost inn possible to check it.
 When the fire was discovered in White Bros. store there were only five men present. Two streams of water were at once played on the building but had little effect on the fire as it was between the roof and the ceilingl The stock of goods of this firm was almost a total loss. All of the goods are water7soaked, and a large part of them are
 burned.
 The Theatorium winch is con- ducted by Denman X Harrell had their machine completely des- trOyed several electric fans burn ed and considerable other dam Q ge done to the interior fixtures.
 The building occupied by White Bros. is owned by R. P, Arnold and is almost a complete wreck.
 The losses are estimated as fellows
 White Bros. stock, fixtures, etc. SPA ,OOO; insurance, $15.OOO.
 R. P. Arnold building occupied by White Bros.) S3,5OO; insur- ance S2,OOO.
 Theatorium, S4OO; no insur anca.
 The building occupied by the moving picture show was owned by Judge Denman and besides having the front burnt out is considerably damaged otherwise We were unable to learn whether or not this building was insured.
 The firm of Wh te Bros. will as soon as they can reach an ad- justment with the insurance companies, reopen their business.
 The managers of the Theator- ium will begin at once remodel ing and fixing up their place of amusement and will probably be open in about two weeks.

found quiet, calm, although rather
haggard looking man, who greeted
Winters companion courteously, with
a southern accent and a very good
manner. He was presented to the col
onel as Mr. Mercer. He would have
excused himself, protesting that he
was just going, but the colonel took
the words out of his mouth: Ralph,
here, has cigar for me--that Is all l
came for; see you at the Touraine,
Ralph, tomorrow for luncheon. then"
He did not see the man again; neither
did he see Ralph, although he made
good, SO far as in him lay, his fiction
of an engagement at the Touraine.
But Ralph could not come; and Winter
had lunched, instead, with an old
friend at his club, and had watched,
through a stately Georgian window
the shifting greenery of the common
in an east wind.
All through the luncheon the sol
djer's mind kept swerving from the
talk In hand to Cary MERGERS face.
Yet he never expected to see 1t again.
Three years later he did see It; and
this second encounter, OF which, by the
way, Mercer was unconscious, was the
beginning of an absorbing chapter in
his life. A short space OF time that
shapter occupied; yet into 1t crowded
mystery peril, wonderful and awful
spectacle, the keenest happiness and
the cruelest anxiety. Let his days be
ever so many, the series OF events
which followed MERGERS temperance
! will not be blurred by succeeding ex-
periences; their vivid and haunting
pictures will burn through commoner
and later happenings as an electric
torch flares through layers Of mist.
Nothing, however, could promise
adventure less than the dull and chilly
late March evening when the chapter
began. Nor could anyone be less on
the lookout for adventure. or even In
terest, than was Rupert Winter. In
truth, he was listless and depressed.
When he alighteo from his cab in
the great court of the Rock Island sta

military stoicism of demeanor could
