METEORlC DUST.
An Invisible but Constant Shower Of
Tiny Hollow Steel Balls.

Meteoric dust is composed Of minute
hollow spheres Of steel that look IN
der the microscope like lealen shot.
They are Infinitely finer than grains
Of sand Their origin is interesting.
Meteors. or shooting stars Us they are
generally called. have from the begin
ming Of things been bombarding the
world ut rate estimated by the high
est authority at many thousands an
hour. Owing to the earth's protecting
envelope of air very few of these mis-
siles reach u.s. In size meteors vary
from a few ounces to many pounds in
weight, and it is only very occasion.
ally that one is of sufficient dimensions
to survive the passage of 80 to leo
miles through an atmosp here increas-
ing in density as the earth is ap-
preached. The speed ut which they
enter the atmosphere, calculated at not
less than thirty-five miles a second,
generates such intense heat by fric-
ton that the iron of which the meteor
principally consists Is Immediately re-
duced to an incandescent vapor. which
Is the luminous train so frequently
seen in the heavens on clear night.
The vapor rapidly cools and con-
denses in the form Of these minute
particles, which assume the spherical
form, as does shot during its fall from
the top of tower. Finally the lit
tie spheres are scattered by the winds
and currents in the upper regions and
gradually descend in their millions as
an invisible but never ending shower.
The perfect condition in which the
spheres are found is due to the pres
ence Of certain noncorrosive elements
found by analysis to be present in the
metal of meteors which have come to
| earth.
These little spheres can be found In
| almost any sample Of dust, particles

cesses or hollows. as in the gutter, on
the housetop or round the roots OF old
trees and dry ditches They may be
readily gathered by a magnet and
when mounted form an interesting OBJ

Ottawa. Canada. Dec. l4.--Thc i'll
va'iun Of Ottawa by Canadian farm
crs from Tar ard Ecar began today
with the arrival uf small delegation
from the Maritime provinces, ali ad-
vance guard f a delegation of 2n0
from the province CT Ontario, and a
party Of 81" from the far west of Can
ada Another contingent from the
west will arrive tomorrow morning. 1t
is estimated that in all their number
will be be1wee 400 and 200. All
are delegated to the first canadian
National Council of Agriculture"
What will be demanded has not been
finally decided. There will be coll
vention on Thursday to prepare a form
of statement. and this will be submit
ted to the government and to parlia-
ment at a meeting in the hots" Friday
morning.
he delegates from the Maritime
provinces will strongly urge broad re-
ciprocity with the United States. The
farmers of Nova Scotia. New Bruins
wiCg and Prince Edward Island want
easier access to the markets of Boston
and New York. Delegates from On
tario favor reciprocity with the United
States and reduction Of the Canadian
tariff by Increasing British preference
to 50 per cent. The preference is now
about 30 per cent.

CANADIAN FARMER To DEMAND
RECIPROCITY With i. 5. when
MOS7ER MEETING IS CALLED

The delegates from the west have a
more ambitious program. Their main
demand is for reciprocit with the Unit
ed States and the abolition of duties
OH articles which farmers require.
They demand free trade in agricultural
implements. lumber, cement, hard
ware, woolens and sugar; that the
government take over the terminal
grain elevators on the Great Lakes and
run them as national industries; that
the government operate the Hudson
bay railway now in process OF con-
s,r,c,ion. and that the government es-
tabish for the west a chilled meat in
dustry such as these in Australia and
New Zealand They also want legisla
ton which will facilitate the formation
OF cooperation societies and a law
.which will compel railroads to pay for
cattle killed on the tracks.
Ile reply to the farmers will be
mad: by the Canadian Prime Minister,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
1t is understood that he will satisfy
their demands respecting the Hudson
Bay railroad and cooperative societies.
On the question of tariff he will prob
ably poin, OFT that negotiations are now
on between Canada and the United
States which will probably result i'll
relief on some of the lines demanded,
notably on agricultural implements and
possibly lumber.

"A foreign country could land 2OO,-
900 troops on the Pacific coast in thir-
ty days and the only intimation of
trouble would be their blowing up OF
a mountain pass, thus preventing any
communication with the east. In
the three states west of the Rocky

Washington, we have 5000 regular

the opposition of Representative Taw.

is understood to have had his atten-
ton called to the report some time
ago, whereupon he hurried to the
White House, called the attention of
the president to the policy of re.
trenchment in appropriations at this
time and advised him that, fgurative-
ly, if the conditions cited in this re-
port were made public the whole re-
trenchment policy would be interfer-
ed with. The war departments pre-
caution to protect the report led to
serious mixup in the house. The re-

the part of the document.

port it was passed along with other
documents to the clerks Office. where
such matters are open to pr bic in

was discovered and the report was
withdrawn to the privacy of the
speakers office.
After looking into precedents, the
speaker concluded that there was no
warrant for the reception of the re-
port as confidential communication.
Therefore he returned it to Secretary
Dickinson with polite letter, calling
attention to the rules of the house
which require all ordinary executive
communications to be printed. Recog-
milton of the force of the word "con-
idential' marked upon the document
would involve its reference to secret
session which the speaker SAID would
be a procedure unprecedented for
nearly century and would probably
result at once in bringing about a
greater degree Of publicity for the
matter than were it handled in the or
binary course.

THE WEREWOLVES.
Fantastic Story Of Sixteenth Century
Tragedy

John of Nuremberg relates how q

try, directed his steps toward a fire
that he saw before him. On reaching

warmth and was informed by him
that he was really as human as him.
self. but that lie was compelled for
certain number of years, like all bis
countrymen, to assume the shape of a
wolf.
a strange country, indeed, where
wolves when the evenings grow chill
ly light fire and in the comfort of its
ruddy glow are found ready to en-
terrain the passing traveller with their
conversation!
CLAUS Magnus in the early part Of
the sixteenth century tells us story
of a nobleman and his retinue who lost
their way in journeying through
wild forest and presently found them
selves hopelessly foodless and shelter
less. In the urgency of their need one
Of the servants disclosed to him In
confidence that he had the power OF
turning himself at will into a wolf
and doubted not but that, if his mas
,, ter would kindly excuse him for a
! while, he would be able to find the
party some provision. Permission be-
ing given, the man disappeared into
| the forest under semblance Of wolf
and very quickly returned with lamb
in his mouth and then, having fulfilled
his mission, resumed his human form.
In Auvergne in 1883 nobleman in
returning from the chase was STOP
ped by stranger, who told him that
he had been furiously attacked by a
savage wolf, but had been fortunate
enough to save himself by slashing off
one of his fore paws. This he pro-
duced as a trophy, when, to the as
constituent Of both it was found to
have become the delicate hand of q
lady. The nobleman felt so sure that
he recognized ring upon it that he
hurried to the castle and there found
his wife sitting with her arm tied up,
and on removing the wrappers the
hand was missing. She had to stand
her trial as loup-garou and, being
convicted, persisted at the stake

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the REM
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
