THE MILKY WAY.
A Hundred Million Stars Clean In
That SiIvery Scarf

mat SIlvery oCarTs
The census of the starry sky is con
cerned almost entirely with the Milky
way. The number of stars not con-
nected with it is negligible. But when
you look at the Milky way the idea of
numbering its stars seems the dream
OF mailman. 1t stretches all round
the sky. Its extent is so unthinkably
immense that science has never under
taken to measure it, and the imaglna-
ton could not grasp the figures that
such measurement. If it was possible
to make it, would involve
Yet that whole enormous eXpanse OF
space occupied by the Milky way is so
crowded with stars that they make
upon the eye the impression Of sill
very scarf wound round the brow Of
the universe.
1t requires telescope to see them as
a broad zone of glittering points in
stead Of an almost uniform band OF
whiteness in the armament.
In some places they are more thinly
scattered, so that as you gaze through
the glass, you almost think that, with
infinite patience. you might count the
number included in a space as large
as the face Of the moon.
But in other places they seem to be
packed together like the sands of the
seashore. They stretch away over
thousands of square degrees of space.
hanging in great festoons, spreading
out in vast banners, where billions
upon billions of cubic miles seem to
be filed with stars thicker than the
fakes in a driving snowstorm!
There are begemmed knots In that
starry scarf so rich that the eye is daz-
zled and the mind confused by the
spectacle which they present.
Yet science, although it shrinks from
trying to estimate the space which
they occupy, has succeeded in forming
a fairly correct enumeration of the
stars of the Milky way.
The most extravagant estimates do
not put the number at more than 300.-
100000, and the most trustworthy and
probable make them third less.
A hundred million stars, then, is the
total population of the glittering uni
verse, and when we see what a mar
velous effect of innumerablenesS they
produce we begin to appreciate what
a hundred millions mean.-Garrett p.

HAWLEY DIED
 OF EXPOSURE
Medical Examiner Says Acid Bought Here Does Not
 Figure in Case

New Haven, July 27-Dr John F. Barnett, medical examiner of the town of Orange, last night completed his investigation into the death of Walter J. Hawley, whose body was found Monday in the bushes, on Kelsey's Hill, Savin Rock, and reached the con- clusion that the young man died of exposure. His report to that effect was sent to Coroner Mix. It is the opinion of Dr. Barnett that the young man wandered to the place where his body was found and that he fell asleep and died. pr. Barnett doubts the sui eide theory and said that he had fol- lowed up all the reports concerning the young man and that none of them re- vealed anything that would lead to the belief that Hawley took his life or that he met with foul play.
 When asked how he accounted for the carbolic acid bottle being found near the body, pr. Barnett replied that he took no stock in the report that Hawley had consumed the contents of the bottle. 1T don't think the young man committed suicide. and I don't think that the bottle figures in the case at all,'' declared the medical ex- aminer. Dr. Barnett stated also that Officer Cannon of West Haven had been sent to Bridgeport to find out if possible when the bottle of acid was purchased of Druggist Hindle of 987 Main street, and that Cannon had come back with the information that the druggist did not know, it was so long ago.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 SHOWING WHY

New Haven. July 27.-The clerks of the freight auditing and disbursement departments of the New Haven road are busy people these warm nights trying to show the companys right to raise the rate of freight on the New Haven road. The lights in the Yellow Building have been burning brightly every night for the past week, until long after 10 o'clock and will contin- ue to do so until about the middle of next month.
 The company's increase on passen- ger rates over the system, has been accepted by the interstate commerce commission without any objection to speak of; but the petition filed with the interstate commission to increase the rates on freight has been held up. and from appearances 1t will be some time before the freight rates are raised, if they are raised at all. In order to raise the rates the road must show the commissioners that it costs more to keep things rolling than it did in past years. While in the freight department they are comparing the old and proposed new rates on freight, to get the new figures for the company, the disbursement department is hard at work getting ready their statement of what it costs to keep things roll ing.
 It is the roads plan to compare the amounts of their bills with those of the past four or five years and in this way show the interstate commerce commission the high price of material at present and that the road is just in raising the rates on freight.

Following is the official call for the annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association, ad- dressed by it's president. Congressman ]. Hampton Moore, to the members:
 In compliance with resolutions adopt ed at the Norfolk convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways ASsocia ton, the third annual convention of the association is called to meet in the ely of Providence. Rhode Island, Au- gust 31. and September 1. 2, 3, 1910.
 Invitations to attend this convention have been accepted by the President of the United States and the Governors of States along the Atlantic sea- board.
 The State of Rhode Island, the city of Providence and the Board of Trade of Providence have united in OrganiZ- ing a fine program of entertainment for the distinguished guests and dele gates-a program which will include banquet Rhode Island clam bake, a naval review at Newport and other diversions occupying the last two days of the convention.
 The first two days wll be devoted to business sessions and papers will be presented by some of the most eminent engineers and statesmen of the coun- try HeadQuarters will be at the Mar ragansett Hoel.
 yhe third annual convention will be held at a critical period iii the history of ths association. Within the yeal,
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-07-27

the Unitet States Engineers will, in all probability, report to Congress their recommendations respecting the inland waterways along the Atlantic coast and this report will furnish the basis for future action of the association. Every member should attend the third annual convention and do everything in his power to strengthen the aSso- citation. preparatory to the final struR- gle for Congressional endorsement of tho project. We have succeeded. be- yond our expectations. in getting an early survey of the entire route from Maine to Florida We must follow up this advantage by prompt action in securing Congressional approval of the project and appropriations to be- gin the work under continuing con- tracts.
 The purpose in issuing this early call for the convention is to induce every member of the association to make reservation of the dates agreed upon, so that he may bs able to attend. Narragansett Bay is one of the most beautiful on the Atlantic coast, eSpe- cially at the season of the year select ed for this convention; we are prom ised a great naval display at Newport and it is desired that yacht and motor boat clubs all along the Atlantic coast shall establish a rendezvous at New port during the convention days ana Join in the associations demand for a protected Inland waterway, S6TV1CedDi0 alike for the boats of commerce.. pleas ure craft and the vessels of the United States Navy.
 Additional information respecting convention arrangements will be fur niShed in future circulars
 We should be glad to receive sugges- tions respecting the mobilizing of dele gates for trips to Providence by water and on other topics.
 The main thing now is for every member to make up his mind that he will, if possible. attend, and send word to that effect to the secretary for reg istration. Firms are entitled to send two delegates; trade bodies, etc., may send as many delegates as they please, their voting power being limited to one vote for each five dollars paid as dues.
 We want a biz convention at Provi- dence-a convention representative of the business interests along the Allan tic coast-and we want you to do your share toward making it entirely suc- cessful from every point of view.
 In the monthly bulletin. issued by the association, President Moore says:
 From Maine to Florida wherever the value of inlnd waterways is under stood; wherever the belief in improved transportation and business opportunf- ties continues to hold, the cry from now until August 31st, should be-

STOCK JOBBERY IN

And now it appears. according to lnsurgent Senator Bristow of Kansas. that the cotton manufacturers did not al for the A to 50 per cent. average increase in duties on cotton goods. but that Senate Boss AlGrich made it.

 It has long been asserted, and be- lieved by many. that members of Con- gress speculate in the stock market, and that more or less of Congressional action is designed to affect quotations. Of course. they have. so to speak, the inside track upon questions dependent on Congressional action--that is. they can have advance information and profit thereby. Men have become millionaires. without other visible sources Of wealth then their Congress sional salaries.
 But so far as we recall. so direct charge of stock jobbery as this by Sen ator Bristow against Senator Aldrich, has never been made public. Perhaps the Rhode Island Senator will decide, In this instance to abandon his policy of silence, and explain if he can.

While some prejudice may be found to e-.ist against food products from China. competition will be welcome. The American people have grown very weary of he various Dretexts upon wE:ch prices have been advanced for sr-cc -ears. Just now. there is an al ,eged scare over the effect of the drCuth in several Western States upon the corn crop.
