NEW PLANEIs.

The announcement made 10 Paris
last week by NJ. Gaillot Of the existence
OF two hitherto unknown planets prom
ises to rank in importsrc, with the dis
covery Of Neptune In 1916 By Lsverrier.
NJ. Gaillot was formerly assistant direc'
tor of the Paris observatory and be
made known his deductions at meeting
Of the Academy of Sciences. Long aud
intricate calculations indicate that these
planets exist in space beyond Neptune,
some millions of miles from the sun. Oh.
serya,ions previously made by M. Law,
of Copenhagen, and Prof. Pickering, Of
Harvard University, sre confirmed BY
NJ Gaillot.
NJ. Glillot followed the methods OF
Leyerrier, who noting snd studying the
causes OF the disturbances In the transit
OF Uranus, concluded they we're due TO
the existence OF another planet. Some
months later the astronomer, Gale, OF
Bsrlin, de6uiI found the paOet Nep
tuue, where 1t mad been indicated by bis
French colfrere. Ia the same say
disturbances in Uranus and Neptune
have given NJ GailIot the basis for his
Investigations ard deductions. lie taJs
one Of the two planets should be In the
region occupied by the constellation
Gsmini, grsvitsting ST a distance from
the cum Of IS times the distance from
the earth to the SUP, the unit OF distance
used 10 astronomy Of about six mIllitrds,
$40 million kilometers.
The other planet, he announces, ia
still farther away, some ten milliards,
from the sun and 10 the region Of the
constellation SsgittaIius.

Half an hour passed-an hour; and
still he waited. silent aud motionless
as a statue. At last stealthy footsteps
sounded on. the outer side of the thorn
wall, and an animal began to creep
through the wall, shifting for the bait.
Blake waited with the immobility OF
an Eskimo. The delay was brief.
With a boldness for which Blake
had not been prepared, the beast
leaped through and seized the meat.
Even in The dim light. Blake could
see that he had lured an animal larger
than any iackal. But this only served
to lend greater force to his blow. As
he struck. he leaped to his feet, The
brute fell as though struck by light
ming and lay still.
Blake prodded the inert form warily;
then knelt and passed his hands over
it. The beast had whirled about just
in time 10 meet the descending club,
and the blow had crushed in its skull.
Chuckling at the success Of his ruse,
he drew the palm back into the open

shoulder. When he came to the fire, a
glance showed him that he had killed
a full-groWn spotted hyena.

Again they had a feast of the fresh
antelope meat. But with repletion
