attend to his onerous duties. but it is
noted by his intimates that he is much

Equally Matched.

UP, BUT OPENING GAMES WILL
PROBABLY BE PLAYED THE
FIRST OF NEXT WEEK.

The local Y. NJ. G. A. is to have q
basket ball league. That will be joy
full Jews to every follower of the game
in this city. And it won't be any
~"one-horse" league, either. 1t will be
composed of six teams and each team
will have a reserve list of nine play
ers. SO there will not be any lack OF
material.
The league was definitely organized
at a meeting of the athletic COMMITTEE
yesterday afternoon. More than fiji
ty members of the organization pre-
scented their names as candidates. 1t
required a great deal of work on the
part of the committee to arrange this
list SO that the six teams would be as
nearly evenly balanced as possible
There are some members Of the league
who rave had practically no experience
in the game. These are placed OF
teams with men who have been in the
gameAforsa number of years.
! Teams Well Balanced.
From comments that have been
made, the lineup of the teams appears
to meet with h communication of the
candidates. The names of all players
were handled absolutely imparttally.
The athletic committee was governed
by the Split of fair dealing and this
prevented any combination which
might result in a sure thing deal Or a
frame up o. any description. The
candidates we,se grouped according to
their experience and ability and the
makeup of each team was chosen by
lot from the list obtained.
1t is the Intention to play the open
ing game Tuesday evening, but the
committee has be ell unable to arrange
the schedule and this fact may post
pone the opening until next week. 1t
has not been determined how long the
league will continue. 1t is believed
likely that warm weather will inter-

EouINocTIAL sToRMs:
No One Special Disturbance When
the sun Crosses the Line.

the Sun Crosses the Line.
one OF the most popular notions
years ago was that storms OF OK
ceptional severity were associated
with the autumnal and vernal equin-
oxes. Less faith in the notion has
been entertained since official wealth
er bureaus have been established. Il
Is now possible TO make more trust
worthy records of wind force and rain
fall than formerly. and TO compare
them with different dates. Such 4
comparison shows that storms are
more violent and frequent in winter
than summer Except for summer
squalls, which are not widespread)
In a somewhat irregular fashion the
number diminshes from the cold
season to the warm and increases
from the warm season TO the cold
There is no sharply dividing line be-
tween them, nor is there any one
disturbance OF exceptional force with.
in a few days of either equinox.
Examination of the daily charts OF
the weather bureau which show the
air pressure, temperature. precipita-
ton and wind force at a great num-
her OF stations, brings out some curl
Gus facts. Areas Of low pressure, o.
storm centres. have certain paths
which they generally follow, and there
Is an average speed at which they
more. Every now and then
however storm unexpectedly
alters it's route and affects
region which might have been
expected TO escape. Another freak Is
TO hasten along faster than was ex-
pected or to retard It's movement,
as II V ran up against some unseen
obstacle. Perhaps the pressure ut
the centre Will fall rather abruptly,
and cause winds OF greater force than
could have been safely predicted tho
day before Some day 1t will prob
ably be possible to understand those
puzzling performances better than
can be done now. but they cannot be
connected with any special date like
the equinox. A striking instance OF
the kind was afforded early in the
current month. The blizzard which
prevailed on Inauguration day in the
Atlantic States was a surprise to tho
weather bureau, and was highly ex'
ceptional in many days. 1t would no.
be safe to predict another one on the
next March 4. The fact is, there have
been both balmy weather and heavy
rain on different inauguration days,
and the same thing can be said re-
gariiDg March q and September %.

AN

Possible Result OF a Collision Be-
tween the Sun and Dark Star.
According to dispatch from Bos'
ton, professor Percival Lowell made
the announcement one day last month
that<s'there is a possibility that our
sun will collide with a dark star"
Such an even would mean general
upheaval of conditions on this plan
ct" said Professor Lowell and IL
any inhabitants survived the disaster
night and day would be about the
only features OF the present order or
things that would be recognizable.
The orbit OF the earth would be
changed, the seasons would no longer
follow in their order. and what tho
climate would be no one can guess.
or course, the chance that such q
collision will occur is so small THAI
there is no reason to think OF IL as an
alarming possibility. Still. the remark
is based on two we'll known facts.
One is that the sun, together with Its
family of planets, is moving swiftly
and steadily through space The oth-
er IS that there are such things 20.
dark stars-suns which have radiatcH
so much OF their heat as to be nj
longer luminous. There is no way or
ascertaining how many there are, bat
Simon Newcomb. leading astronomi'
cal authority, thinks IL not altogeth'
er unlikely that the dark stars are
more numerous than the bright ones.
A complete celestial census has never
been taken, but from counting the
bright stars in avery small area 1t has
been estimated that their number does
not fall short of one hundred million!
The diameter of the sun is comput-
ed at about seven-eighths of a million
miles---upward OF 100000. The stars
are all-suns, big or little. The great
central orb of our solar system, In
calculably enormous as Il Is, rates as
a second class star However, II 1t
should hit another star, visible or in

would be caused among the planets

ance that the chance is too small 10

RUSSIAN NosLEMAN's wooINo
Pose az a Lady's Maid TO Make Ae.
auaintance Of a Baroness.

QuatntanCe OF Baroness
a St. Petersburg paper publishes
details OF Russian romance in which
figures the wealthy and beautiful
young Baroness Urusoff. the widow of
distinguished Russian government
official.
All the young cavaliers OF Moscow
were hopelessly in love with her.
The baroness, however, rejected al
attempts to obtain an introduction to
her and lived in perfect seclusion, az.
tended only by an elderly relative.
Some months ago a young peasant
girl began to visit the residence OF
the baroness, offering the servants
cheap articles for sale. Subsequently
the baroness used to buy different
articles from the peasant, who was
intelligent, had good manners and
considerable conversational talents.
The baroness eventually asked the
girl whether she would enter her SER
vice as a lady's maid. She agreed
and discharged her duties to perfec-
ton for fortnight and then re-
vealed herself" as a young Russian
nobleman named Maximoff, who, TAX
ing advantage of his fair hair and
complexion had masqueraded as a
domestic servant to break down the
barriers with which the beautiful
baroness had surrounded herself.
The baroness was so much I'M
pressed by his extraordinary persever-
ance that she became engaged to him,
and the marriage took place a few
