NO LIFE ON THE MOON.

The Proof We Have That Our Near
est NeixhbOr IL Uninhr bi1cd.
The moon being much the nearest
to us Of all the heavenly bodies, we
can pronounce mere definitely in its
case than in any other. We know that
neither air nor water exists ON the
moon in quantities sufficient to be per
ceived by the most delicate tests at our
command. 1t is certain that the moon S
atmosphere. if any exists, is less than
the thousandth part of the density OF
that around US. The vacuum is great
er than any ordinary air pump is ca
paole Of producing. We can hardly
suppose that SO small quantity OF
air could be Of any benefit whatever
in sustaining life. An animal that
could get along on 50 little could get
along on none at all.
But the proof of the absence OF life
Is yet stronger when we consider the
results of actual telescope observa-
ton. An object such as an ordinary
city block could be detected on the
moon. If anything like vegetation were
present on its surface. we should see
the changes which it would undergo
in the course of a month, during one
portion OF which 1t would be exposed
to the rays of the unclouded sun and
during another to the intense cold OF
space.-Professor Simon Newcomb in

CORKY HARRIS DEAD
Former Polo Star Ends His
Life in a Hospital at
Muncie.
DEATH DUE TO PARALYSIS

Muncie, Ind, Aug. 3O.-Mott Har.
ris, So, better known as "Corky" Har-
ris, former roller polo star and bar
tender, died at the Muncie hospital
after an illness extending over per.
iod of six weeks. At that time Harris
was stricken with paralysis.
He was confined to his bed until a
few weeks ago when he regained his
strength to such an extent that he was
able to walk about the streets. Sew
|eral days ago a turn for the worse
TRANSFERRED and he was removed to the
Muncie hospital. With the last at
tack it was apparent to the friends
and relatives of the deceased that he
would survive but a short time.
Harris was the son of Joseph Har
ris, of Indianapolis. He is also surviv'
ed by sister of that place.
During the days of the polo craze in
Muncie. Harris was one of the best
goaltenders In the Western Polo lea
que. His career began with the old
Muncie Royals in 1888. He played with
that organization for three years dur
ing which time he never lost a game
Sometime later he engaged in tending
bar for several we'll known saloon
keepers but in 1900 he again donned
his polo togs and three, years more
were spent on the resined floor.

That the public will support the as

ner as they did this year is assured.
Already, the plans for next years as
sembly are being considered and the
management has announced that the
character of the future assemblies will
be continued on the same high plane.
The officials expect to benefit greatly
from this years experience.
Expect Good Profit.
In review of the success of the as
sembly this year. compared with those
of the past, it must be admitted that
the attendance was not so large. The
total attendance for the ten days will
probably range between $4,000 and
10000. Yesterday, which was the big
day. about 5000 persons were admit
ed while year ago more than 5000
attended. To offset the fact that there
were more single admission tickets
sold last year than this. the exact
contrary is true of the season ticket
sales. 1t is probable that the net re-
ceipts this year will be as large as
last as expenses were cut down in
many instances this year.
Report as to the success of this
years assembly will not be made fol-
two or three weeks. Following the
winding up of the business the guar
antors, who include local business and
professional men, will hold a meeting
and elect officers for the ensuing year
Plans will also be perfected at this
meeting and George L. Goodwin, sec
rotary of the assembly will include in
his report a recommendation that a
committee be appointed to investigate
the advisability of erecting a pavilion
in the park, to be used as a permanent
headquarters for the chautauQua. He
will also request that the committee
will visit different places where per
manent chautauqua headquarters have
been established and inspect the
buildings.
