THE CRUSH
 IF WORLDS
What Would Happen if . Dead Sun
 Invaded Our Solar System.

What "ould Happon " poao ouN
 Invaded Our Solar System.
 It Is possible, though 1t is not prov ed, that stars may sometimes ap- proach one another and even -',leap madly from their spheres" "What would happen were an unknown star or a dead sun to invade our solar sys. tem?" asks a writer in the London II! lustrated News, who answers his que " in two ways. In the first place, the star might rush straight into the Bun and by the heat of the collision re- duce the sun and all its planets to c nebulous mass without form or struc- ture. But 1t Is more mathematically probable that just as comets approach, circle and recede from the sun, 50 the starry invader of our system would approach our system and recede from It. having altered 1t beyond recogni- tion. '.'r h.'" S'''' '''''
 But what would be It's effect upon our sun? The sun as we know 1t today Is explosively elastic. Great tongues of flame which would con- sume a little planet like ours at q mouthful continually leap from 1t with speeds of several hundred miles second. This enormous explosive force Is restrained only by the greater force of the suns gravity. But if an approaching star as great as the sun came within striking distance of 1t then along the line Joining the two bodies. each would begin to pull the other, as today the moon pulls up the earth's oceans.
 The mighty pull of the invading star would neutralize the suns gravity in one direction, and the sun would, in sense, explode. Out from our ances- tral sun and from opposite sides of 1t would fly two great lengthening arms of matter, reaching far beyond the farthest planet. As the star passed, It's moving mass would give a further twist to the sun and would pull the arms of matter into the shape of a great double spiral Form and motion would thus be imparted to the nebula thus created, and from the solar system thus eXtinguished in ca, tastrophe a new sun, with planets con densing from the Jumps and inequali- ties In the projecting arms, would arise. ff

WINGS THAT
 WERE FINS
Evidence That Penguin's Pinions Were
 Onee Used For Swimming.

Once Used For Swimming.
 OrnIthologlcal puzzles are the pen Guins, with their curiously shaped wings and odd, unbirdlike, upright car riage. The peculiarities of their wings suggest that the pengulns are descend ants of birds which used their wings rather than legs in the pursuit of prey under water, and as the struggle in- tensiiied between the competing indi- vidualS the most expert at this sort of swimming would get the most food and oust less successful rivals. The winners gained advantage over their ncighborS in proportion as their wings improved as swimming organs and in- vcrScly and of necessity became less suited to perform the work of flight.
 In all other birds the feathers, though shed annually, are more or less grad ually displaced. But in the penguins the new feathers all start into being at the same time and thrust out the old feathers upon their tips so that these come away in great flakes. Whereas In all birds save penGuins the new feathers as they thrust their way through the skin end in pencil-like points. formed by investing sheaths, in the penguinS these sheathS are open at the tips and attached by their rims to the roots of the old feathers, and hence these are held to their success Sors until they have attained a sutti- cient length to insure protection against cold.
 The curious device for retaining the warmth afforded by the old feathers until the new generation can fill their places is apparently due to the fact that pcnGuinS are natives of the ant arctic regions, although some now in- habit tropical SeaS.-Chicago Tribune.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their uneoaslns Work Keeps Us
 Strona and Healthy.

All tho blood In the body passe through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood Thsy work snigts and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of Impure matter daily. when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back. headache, nervous ness, hot, dry slkin. rheumatism. gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits In the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.

much pleased with the country and that he believed it is destined to be- come rich gold field. Arrangements have been made for sinking q perpen- dicular shaft for some distance and to thoroughly prosject the ground with cross cuts and drifts. Several hun dred feet of work has already been done with an incline shaft and tunnels in an effort to get the permanent ledge and several good veins have been dis covered.
 The property is located about a mile and half southeast of Winchester and about the same distance northwest of Vicksburg on the west slope of the Granite Wash mountains, near the granite hills In fact there is a big hill of granite on the property and it is in that hill that two short tunnels have been driven and some very promising ore taken out. Cutting across the property from north to south there are two porphyry dikes which have good indications of mineral These DOT phyry dikes cut several dikes of ande- site and dioritc The ground on this property has been badly faulted, due to the upheaval of the granite and later diorites and andesites, and the still later porDhyries. The ore is found in contacts with the schist which is com posed of metomorphosed states. shades and limestones and earlier eruptives.

cussion for months and it has always been considered desirable. but impos- siblc It was finally attended to SO suddenly that even the board itself hardly knew what was going on. An effort was made to find out who will occupy the old board room. but no member of the board of trade who knows, could be found yesterday af- ternoon One rumor was that it will be occupied by the Steinfeld company of Tucson, but little credencc is given the report.
 The new quarters are about as near ideal as the board can hope to find in Phoenix at this time. It is fully as central as the old location. three times as large. and in a building that k cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. two very desirable facts. The old quarters were almost unen- durable in the summer for public gatherings, and the necessary noise of other tenants. heard through the thin partitions and undeadeued floor above, were always irritating on the occasion of board and public meetings.
 The new location will give the sec retary an opportunity to display the board exhibits to good advantage and to properly show a great many things that could not be kept in the old place at all. Moreover there will probably be room to make son7e dis play from other counties. in accord Ince with requests that have been heretofore made but which had to be refused for lack of room. And better than almost anything else, is the fact that there will also be room to com fortably accommodate a goodly as semblage when the board has occa- sion to call the citizens of the valley together for conference or tine con- sideration of public matters

NEW QUARTERS FOR
 THE BOARD OF TRADE
A Fine Location Secured in the
 Fleming Block. Will Move at Once.

The issue of new quarters for the Phoenix board of trade came to a sudden and satisfactory culmiHation yesterday morning, when the board was able to secure a tenant to take the lease on the present quarters off its hands al the same rental the board is paying. No time was lost thereafter in closing up q contract for the lease of the north half of the ground floor and basement o' the Hubbard building, better known as the Fleming block. which quarters the board has been trying to secure ever since the Wakelin Grocer company planned to move out. Heretofore the board has not felt justified in renting the new quarters at the large addi- tional cost, while still held by a con tract with W. T. Smith for the old location, at $75 per month.
 The basement of the quarters in the Fleming block will be sublet for a sufficient sum to bring the rent for the ground floor occupied by the board. down to S10O a month. This is only $25 a month more than the board had to pay for the old quart CTS and there is three times the floor space to say nothing of other ad- vantages. IL is understood there are now two applicants for the basement. though a definite answer has not been given either. As soon as the trans action was closed insuring the change. instructions were given Co MT Taylor, the acting secretary during the va cation -of Secretary Cowgirl, to pre- pare to move the boards effects at once. and to accomplish that feat by Saturday Mir. Taylor at once re- moved his coat and began to throw things Before night the counters of the old board were piled full of of flee effects and today the work of moving will probably begin.
 The transaction of leasing and talk ing possession of this property. by the board has been a matter of board dis

The Ben Hur group of fifteen claims located in the Granite hills of the Granite Wash mountains between Vicksburg and Salome and belonging to Al AIger, one of the owners of the glory hole, has been bonded to J. D Mitchell and Abe Mathews and their associates for $15.OOO. This property is located alongside of the railroad near the tunnel.
