 .Asterism is the beautiful name given to a curious optical property of cer- tain minerals. They show star shaped figure where light is reflected from them or transmitted through them. This is seen in the star stone, which is a sort of sapphire. and in the star ruby. There is asterism also in mica. The photograph of a lamp flame taken through a plate of mica shows six rayed star, with six faint CT radiations between. Outwardly star mica resembles the ordinary form and shows the same phenomena under polarized light. When examined un- der the microscope, however, the star mica is found to contain fine needles of another mineral. And these are regularly arranged at angles of 120 degrees. To these needles is due the star seen by transmitted light -Chica- 20 Tribune.

the country was inadequately
protected against invasion from
foreign governments, was sent
to the House today as a secret

Members of Congress who saw
the document before its with

that there IS a Woful inadequacy

NAIL CARRIER ROBBED.
Held Up by Highwaymen and Reliev.
ed of Valuables.

The star route mail carrier from
Dobson to Mount Airy, N. c., was
held up recently by three unknown
negroes and robbed of all his person
al effects, consisting of a watch and
SIT. The hold-up occurred just out
side the city limits of Mount Airy in
dense wood and nearly frightened
the mail carrier to death. When at
the forks of the road the three ne
groes explained to the carrier that
he would have to change his usual
route on account of bridge being
unsafe, and this necessitated his TAX
ing the road that leads through the
woods. The negroes held a gun in
his face, dragging him from his bug
gy and relieving him of his watch
and money.

Battleship Ready in March.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The battle
ship South Carolina will not be able
to come to Charleston to receive the
silver service during the session OF
the legislature for the reason that
the ship will not go into commission
until the first week in March. The
time for the visit to Charleston and
silver service ceremonies will prob
able be fixed for some day during the
last week in March.
Senator Smith to-day called on
President Taft and the secretary OF
the navy, Mr.. Meyer, and urged that
the South Carolina be sent to Char
lesion during the session of the leg
islature, this being the request OF
the presiding officers of each house.
The chief of the bureau of navigation
was called in conference, with the
result that the announcement above
was authorized. The senator &C
cordingly wrote to Messrs. Mcleod,
lieutenant governor, and Whaley
speaker of the house, to that effect.
The naval authorities say there is no
doubt that the ship will be ready
for the trip to Charleston during the
last week of March.
