Well, anyway, Guy was kind and
thoughtful to her. Whatever he had
done in the past however he had

no option. She felt that had the two

pressed, and presently abandoned
herself entirely to an uncomfortable
fit Of weeping, and, burying her
face in her hands, sobbed aloud
for no better reason than because
she couldn't help it.
She was aroused at length by
soft, fat hand which fell caress-

Cosmic Dust,

A particle of dust one hundred thou
santh Of an inch In diameter Is held
in fits place in space by the force
Of gravitation. but a 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 a 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 a certain
number of them cohere together until
they have sufficient weight to be at
tracted toward the sun once more by
the force Of gravitadon.

light of the report already before you
made by a competent board.
If, in our discretion, we believe mo-
dern Notifications to be necessary to
the adequate protection and policing
of the canal, then it is our duty to
construct them. We have built the
canal. 1t is our property. BY con-
vention we have indicated our desire
for, and indeed undertaken, it's univer-
sal and equal use. 1t is also well known
that one of the chief objects in the
construction of the canal has been to
increase the military effectiveness of
our navy.
Failure to fortify the canal would
leave the attainment of both these
aims in the position of rights and OBJ
legations which we should be power
less to enforce and which could never
in any other way be absolutely safe

ponsible enemy.

CABE CONRAD GETS BIG
REWARD.

Substantial reward in money
and lands was given Gen. Gabe
Conrad, the New IBERIA soldier
and son Of Mr.. Charles Conrad,
who went to the front for the
Estrada forces when the revolu-
tjlon was in direst straits. This
took the form of payment OF
$1,000 in American gold and 10000
hectares of Ncaraguan eIoyvrn-
ment lands. or the equivalent of
%, 900 acres in the arabic district
of the country.
Gen. Conrad returned yesterday
as a passenger on the steamship
Albangarz. and Will spend some
time in New Orleans before re-
turning to Central America. He
left Managua about fifteen days
ago and came to New Orleans via
Panama City and Colon. He was
at Managua at its fall and ac-
companied Gen. Luis Mena dur
ing his triumphal entry. in the ca
pacity of chief of artillery Of
Mems forces.
When the General left Mana
qua the political conditions were
in a much disturbed stale, but
United States Commissioner Daw-
son was rapidly bringing order
out of chaos. Gen. Conrad said
that Commissioner Dawson had
been successful in pacifying the
demands for payment made by
the soldiers of the Estrada army.
After comforting with Gen. Els
trada, he decided that the sol
diers should be paid before the
government made any gifts to of
ficers or others who had aided
the cause of the revDlutl 1nists.
As fast as the men were paid off,
Gen. Estrada had their arms and
ammunition turned into the ar
senal at Managua, and the men
