China Also Awakened.


Perhaps the third event in impor-
tance in foreign politics was the meet
ing of the Chinese senate, definitely
marking the beginning of parliamen-
tary government in the Celestial King
dom, the last great nation that had
held out against the rising tide of de-
mocracy. When China has a parlia-
ment and quits wearing pigtails the
millennium will be waiting just around
the corner.
Other notable political happenings
abroad were the establishment of the
bandbox kingdom of Montenegro, the
fight to separate church and state in
Spain, the Mexican uprising and the
swallowing Of Korea by Japan. The
Land of the Morning Calm is being
given such touch of high life by the
Japs that she is now the Land of the
Morning After.
We have also had some politics at
home. 1t Is almost brutal to write
about the elections of 1910, but 1t Is
impossible to give full blown re-
view Of the year without them. Dem
ocratic and progressive victories were
generally the result. The progressives
practically doubled their representa-
ton in both houses and elected gov
ernors in California, Kansas, Mich
igan, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
South Dakota, Tennessee. Wisconsin
and Wyoming, although in the last
named state the progressive Repub-
dlean candidate ran on the Democratic
ticket.
The Democrats carried the national
house by about sixty, made such gains
In the senate that the progressives will
) have the balance Of power and elected
governors not only in the southern
states, with the exception of Tennes-
see. but IN Colorado. Connecticut Ida
ho. Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
New York, North Dakota. Ohio. Okla
hora and Oregon. This was the first
time the Democrats had won such a
victory In nearly twenty years.
American Politics Likely.
Political events during the year lead
ing up to the election were the Bal

In congress, the two chief items being

THE BELTED PLAID.
This Was the Original Dress Of the
Scottish Highlander.


The original dress OF the highlander
was the belted plaid This was piece
of tartan cloth, two yards broad and
four long, which was drawn around
the waist in nicely adjusted folds and
tightly buckled with belt. The lower
part came down to the knees in much
the same manner as the modern kilt
while the upper part was drawn up
and adjusted to the left shoulder, so
that the right arm might be perfectly
free This upper part was the plaid,
which was used as covering for the
shoulders and body in wet weather,
and when the use Of both arms was
required II was fastened across the
breast with a brooch, often curiously
enriched. A brooch was also used to
fasten the plaid on the left shoulder
To attire himself In the belted plaid
required on the part of the highlander
no small amount of dexterity. The
usual way was to lay 1t on the floor
and after carefully arranging the
folds to lie down upon 1t and then
buckle it on. The lower end was fas-
tened at the right hip. The utility of
such dress In the highlands is OBJ
vious, for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared 70
pass a night In the open air In the
most inclement weather, while the
loose undergarmcnt enabled him to
wade rivers or ascend mountains with
equal ease. 1t was thus peculiarly
adapted to the warrior, the hunter and
the shepherd.-London Mail.

Deposing of King Manuel.

was, of course, the driving of King
Manuel out of Portugal and the estab.
lishment of a republic. Compared to
the magnitude Of the event this trans
formation was accompanied by little
bloodshed. The affair had its spice Of
scandal, as do most royal perform
ances. 1t appears that a Partisan
dancer of the name of Gaby Deslys
took the youthful monarch's eye, with
the result that Manuel spent much
time in Paris and Gaby sojourned not
lnfrequently in Lisbon. Ordinarily this
might not have excited comment, be-

but inasmuch as Portugal was tired
of monarchy anyway the gossip played
its part. As result Mile. Gaby will

of these forced through the house Of

second practically sealed the fate Of

The ljuht Of the Stars.

Various endeavors have been made
to estimate the light of the stars. In
the northern hemisphere Argelander
has registered 324.OOO stars down to
the nine and Il half magnitude, and
with the aid Of the best photometric
data Agnes NJ. Clerks System Of the
Stars" gives the sum Of the, light of
these northern stars as equivalent to
1-44O Of full moonlight, while the total
light Of all stars similarly enumerated
In both hemispheres, to the number of
about 100000. is roughly placed at
1-1SO of the lunar brightness. The
scattered light of still fainter celestial
bodies is difficult to compute. BY a
Photographic method Sir William Alb
! hey rated the total starlight of, both
hemispheres at LOO of full moonlight,
and Professor ,Newcomb4 from visual
observations of all stars at just 728
times that of Capella. or 1-S9 Of the
light Of the full moon.
1t is not certain. however, that the
sky would be totally dark If all stars
were blotted out. Certain processes
make the upper atmosphere strongly
luminous at times, and we cannot be
sure that this light would be totally
absent. Weekly.
