cosmie Dust.

A particle of dust one-hundred thou
santh of an inch in diameter Is held
in its place in space by the force
of gravitation. but particle smaller
than this is pushed outward into space
by the weight of the suns light. be-,
cause as the particle becomes smaller
its surface. which is subject to pres
sure. becomes greater in proportion to
its weight
The suns corona. the zodiacal light,
the aurora borealis and the comets
tail are all composed of these infinitely
minute particles, in some cases white
hot and in others merely Illuminated
by the sun. which are being constantly
driven away from the sun by the pres
sure of its light.
In the case Of the aurora bOrealis
there is movement of the light both
away from and toward the sun. This
is explained by the theory that the
weight of the suns light presses the
particles outward into space for a GER
tain distance and that then certain
number of them cohere together until
] they have sufficient weight to be at
! tracted toward the sun once more by
t the force of gravitation.

Making total of S2i.57 and leaving

The report was accepted.
The monument was discussed, as to
whether the chapter should come to final
decision at this meeting, or defer de-
cision until the next meeting. It was
agreed upon, after examining the design
of the monument, to ask that some
changes be made, and that we come to a
final decision at the next meeting.
There were three applicants for admis-
sion-Mesdames W. B. Boggs and Homer
Colquitt and Miss Lyde Hightower. The
committee, after examining the creden-
tials approved them, and the candidates
were heartily received into the chapter.
The recording Secretary asked permis-
sion to make few remarks. Being ac-
| corded the privilege, she stated she wanted
the aid of the chapter to interest the young
| folks in the history of the South's strug-
| giles from 1861 to the present date. In
order to do this, she would ask the chapter
| to offer medal for the best essay on
| Louisiana's part in the war from 1861 to
1865; the competitors to be students in the
highest grade in each of the following
schools, and residents of Bossier Parish:
Bossier City, Benton, Alden Bridge, Plain
Dealing and Haughton. The ch a pter

ers in this matter. For further Informal

NV God Lives Everywhere

Ny God lives everywhere, but when Iseek
The woodland, and the streams l hear Him speak
In voice that echoes back upon my heart
Such words as haunts of men cannot impart;
The cry of beast, or chatter OF bird
Some rounded hill, or woodsy, stony glen
Where squirrel lives, or fox has made his den
Builds up for me chapel, where the woro
Is spoken that makes sadness long deferred;
My Cod lives everywhere, but when seek
Tie things that He has made, hear Him speak.
A house made not by hands, forest dell, ;,
Where Dryad lives, or an-pipes break the spell
Swings heart OF mine close to the throne OF grace
And whispers love-words that grow on, apace;
Ny God lives everywhere, but when | seek
His love in Nature then hear Him speak.

Antiquity of FISHING.

Probably no branch nf industry can
lay claim To greater antiquity than
that of fishing Its origin would seem
to he roeval with the earliest efforts
of human ingenuity. for the oldest
monuments Of antiquity show the fish
ernan in full possession of the iniple-
nlents of his calling. and even those
tribes of savages which have learned
neither to keep focks nor 10 till the
fields are skilled in the fabrication OF
the hook. the fish spear and the net.
The earliest civilization of the eastern
Mediterranean was begun with fishing
Sidon. which mems fishery. was
originally a fishing village. and its en-
tcrprising inhabitants devoted their at
tantion mainly to the collection OF a
certain kind Of moilusks. from which
they prepared the famous tyrian, pur,
pie. priced more highly for the rich
ness and variety of it's hues than any
other dye known to the am.ients.

First Train Over the L. and A.

The following news item from Sundays
Shreveport Times should be of interest to
our readere throughout the entire parish:
"The Louisiana and Arkansas ran its
first train into Shreveport yesterday. This
fact was accomplished when work train
entered the city over the Cotton Belt
bridge and began working on the Louis
lana and Arkansas yards in this city. The
track had been laid almost to Marshall
Street when the crew knocked off last
night.
s'It is reported that the Louisiana and
the way into Shreveport and, with addi-
route in excellent condition.
''The work train which reached the city
yesterday will work in the local yards and
then leave over the Louisiana and Arkan-
sas' own steel for Minden, ballasting the
track as it proceeds.
s'Just when the Louisiana and Arkansas
will run its first regular trainsinto Shreve-
port cannot be said at this time. Tariffs
and rates from Shreveport to Minden have
not yet been published and these have to
be placed on file thirty days before they
become active. For this reason, it is
thought that the Louisiana and Arkansas
will not run regular train service into
Shreveport until after the first of the year.
GAS has been previously stated in the
Times, the Louisiana and Arkansas in con-
nection with the ST. Louis and Southwestern
is going to erect S25, Opassenger station
in Marshall Street, just beyond the Kansas
City Southern crossing. The two roads vii
at the same time maintain joint freigh
depot, the present Cotton Belt being usee
by both roads for the time being. 1t il
understood that new agent will be ap
pointed for this position, General Agen
Ferguson being relieved of his duties il
this capacity, and giving his time exclu
siyely to the commercial office.
