BABY PLANETS NUMEROUS
Asteroids, All Moving In Orbits Be-
tween Those Of Mars and Jupl-
ter, Number $50.

1t is related that when the one hun
dredth asteroid, or minor planet, was
discovered, many years ago, certain as
tronomers organized celebration OF
the event and that while the solemn.
ties were in preparation two or three
more asteroids were picked out In the
sky by the diligent observers.
These bodies, so far as recognized
and officially mapped, now number 65s
They all move in orbits between those
of Mars and Jupiter and may be eth
er the debris of a ruined planet or the
results of an abortive attempt OF ma
ture to form planet
The development OF astronomical
photography has added large numbers
of these minor planets to our lists. In
the Harvard observatory at Arequipa,
Peru, sixty-four separate asteroids
were photographed between 1898 and
1901, and forty-seven of these were
new discoveries.
AS may be imagined, the number Of
these bodies Is now so large that 1t is
a difficult matter to tell whether one
Of them is new or Is to be identified
with previous discovery In several
instances mistakes of this kind already
have been made. The swarm OF plane
toids is numerous one, and 1t has be-
come kind Of astronomical sport to
pursue them and pick them out.
AS instruments become more power-
full and methods more delicate the
smaller bodies of the group will be de-,
tected one by one and added to our
charts. The exact value of such dis-
coyeries to the science OF astronomy
however. Ia somewhat Droblematical. |

PURIFYING FOR HAITPS MA
TIONAL SPORT.

The commercial and industrial out
look has been frightened by the as
suranee that one of the most active
republics on the map will henceforth
give us the benefit of the patronage
which heretofore has been diverted to
Europe 1t is the republic of Haiti,
and the principal commodities pur-
chased by the government and people
OF the turbulent commonwealth are
rifles and ammunition.
OF course, there would have been
millions in It" If the late Col. Null
berry Sellers could have carried out
has plan of selling eye water to the
natives OF Africa, but the details were
little fsnciful. There is nothing i'm
practicable, however, in this matter
OF supplying shooting irons to the Hal
tan republic. The closed season for
hunting down the enemies of the re-
public Is very short, and usually by
the time the open season begins again
the TevOlutionists have become the
party IN power, so the hunting begins
all over again, with mere change in
the name OF the President. A person
by the name OF Simon is now at the
head OF the works, and it is he who
expresses the benevolent purpose of
spending his rife money with the
United States. We have been so in
dulgent toward the national sport OF
the Black Republic that he feels we
are entitled to some return. And so
far as this country Is concerned, let
Us make the ammunition of a nation
and We care not who furnishes the
obsequies.

a MISTAKE THAT CAN HARD
LY BE CONDONED.

Some of our esteemed eontempora-
ries are, falling into the mistake OF
surprising that James Bronson Rev
nolds, who Is TO assist Colonel Roosevelt
in framing a platform for the New
York State Republican convention, is
James B. Reynolds, formerly of Bos-
ton, later an Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, and now a tariff COM
missioner The mistake is made about
every time shat James Bronson Rev
nolds' name gets into print. and it is
one that ought not to be committed.
James Bronson Reynolds Is a So
biologist of high degree, and his re-
lations with Colonel Roosevelt are very
friendly. Col James B. Reynolds OF
Massachusetts Is not a sOciOlogist. Not
until recently was he ranked as a
tariff expert, but his diligent study OF
the problem should qualify him for

VACATION OVER AND SCHOOL
DAYS HERE AGAIN.

Vacation IS over and school davs
are here again The year promises
to be a noteworthy one in the annals
Of school affairs IN the District OF Co
lumbia- The attendance the opening
day Is in the region Of $1,000. All
the indications are that the number of
pupils this year viii average higher
than ever before in the history OF
Washington Not only Is the outlook
as to attendance better than ever,
but there are more teachers and more
school houses The courses have Been
strengthened and in many ways the
facilities for education are improved.
Among the improvements promised
this year Is closer supervision of pu-
pills by teachers, medical officers. and
tTuant officers. There are twelve med
ioal inspectors, whose duty 1t Is to
exclude contagious diseases from the
schools as far as possible
The Board Of Education has asked
for two dentists to instruct the pupils

OF CANAL
SEEMS TO BE ASSURED.

For long time, in fact since this
country took hold seriously of the
job of digging the Panama canal, there
has been discussion OF the question
whether to fortify the waterway and
its approaches. On the one hand, for
LITIGATION has been powerfully urged
by some, and on the other, it has been
insisted with force that generalization
was the right policy
1t begins to look as If the question
would be settled in favor of fortifca-
ton. Congress, 1t is true, has not
acted, but dispatches from Beverly

Back of the President, stands the rec
ommendation of a commission of army
engineers. While Theodore Roosevelt
cannot be considered as exercising
much influence directly on Congress
in these times. 1t Is worth while re-
calling that IN one OF his recent speeches
he came out strongly for fortifcatiOn
of the canal. It seems probable that
Congress viii follow the recommends

engineers. and this Is the more likely
inasmuch as It Is known some Of the
