At the May meeting of the Royal
Astronomical Society in London, Prof
Alfred Fowler described his compart-
sons of the spectrum Of the wonderful
variable star Mira, or Omicron Ceti,
with that Of titaniun oxid. He finds
that the two speetra are. for the great
e. part, identical. Especially the curl
Gus bands seen in the spectrum Of
Mira are shown to be due to titanium
oyid. Professor Fowler also finds evil
dence of the presence of vanadium IN
the same star. The lines Of titanium
and vanadium have likewise been dis
covered in the light Of sun-spots, lead
ing the astrenomer, Father Cortie, to
-cmark that sun-spots and the star
Mira are evidently very closely con-
nected in physical condition. Many
readers will doubtless be particularly
interested In this discovery because
)f the repute of titanium and vanadi-
I'm for their extraordinary usefulness
in unexpected ways.

Persons whO complain of the heat
when the Thermometer reaches the
nineties," said q steamship engineer,
seldom think Of the diseomforts Of
men onApaoyed in gas wSrks, in blast
furnaces and in steamships where
the firemSn have to endure an atmos-
phere ranging frem 11S to 14o de-
grees. In all these and many other
places where big boilers are located
the men wear very little clothing, and
while they undoubtedly suffer from
the exposure. they do not feel the heat
as much az might be supposed. The
explanation Ct this fact 10 that these
men are not reached BY the humidity.
They are working in places where
the artificial heat 10 SO intense as to
drive out the humidity, and 11s or
more degrees Of heat In a pure, dry
air is not felt a. much ~ q mixture Of
90 degrees Of heat and 50 per cent. Of
humidity, that tells On people and
sorely tries their vitality"

Earthquakes and Weather.

A writer In Nature calls attention
to the peculiar weather which accom-
panied and followed the great sicilian
earthquake. Tho sudden fog which set
tied upon the Strait Of Messina was
paralleled By q heavy mist accompany
ing the Mexican earthquake of Janu-
ary, 1899, and the writer adds that
rainfall is SO frequently reported as
the immediate successor Of an earth
quake that I'VE can no longer reject
the hypothesis of a real connection
between the two" Professor Milne
has suggested that the disturbance of
the ground when transmitted to the
everything air may determine precipi.
tation, thus explaining the apparent
association of severe earthquakes
with mist and rain.

and with Lees Effort than Un- -,

Milwaukee, Wis.-The Rev. Ray
McKaig Of the Epworth Methodist
church is the only minister in Milwau-
kee, and possibly the only one in the
sntire country, who makes his pastoral
calls on q motorcycle.
Mr.. McKaig says that q motorcycle
Is invaluable for a preacher in city or
town as it saves time and money.
He has had his machine several years
and estimates that he has travelled
more than 5000 miles.
Before coming to Milwaukee he
says he used the motorcycle with
splendid results in a Minnesota town.
He could make his circuit of preaching
places with such speed that the bene-
iiction was hardly pronounced in one
pl ce before the pastor was five
Mes away announcing a hymn in an
other church. He riged up a tandem
attachment for his wife and allowed
his boy to ride in front.
The pastor believes that nothing
,an equal the enjoyment and exhilara-
ton Of the motorcycle. He says:
The preacher who vitalizes an au-
diencO must divitaliEe himself. On
Monday a listless Indifference settles
on him. To read is only to star gaze.
To visit is only to bore. To study Is
,nly to stagnste. Own q motorcycle!

day, famed by 4 stift breeze!"

Mr.. Taylor remembers the theft and
Gays there were sixteen chickens stol-
en-. He has notified the writer of the

to pay for the chickens he will call
