CONFUSING THE PUBLIC MIND
Astronomers Are More Than Usually imaginative in Their Theories
 About the Universe.

The astronomers are showing more than their customary activity of imagination just now, and as they differ fatly in their conclu- sions. the public mind is confused about what to believe in the way of news from space. 1t used to be said that astronomy was an exact science, about which all controversy was closed, and this was true of the period when astronomy was confined to its mathematical aspects. But since the coming of Camille Flam- marion some 30 years ago the inn aginative school of astronomers has claimed possession of the field, and speculation as to what happens in the exterior universe has monopo- hzed the public interest.
 Professor See of the Mare Island observatory told the American Phil osophlcal society the other day that diving beings exist wherever. a star wrinkles in the sky" On the other hand, Professor Aitken of Berkeley insists that Mars is not inhabited, and the same learned conclave where Professor See expended his theory of the universe Professor Svante Au- guste Arrhenius of Sweden told the assembled ssvants that all this stimulating speculation about canals on Mars was nonsense. The planet was too cold to support life, and the streaks which Flammarion first con- tended were canals are nothing bet ter than the scars left by earth quahes.
 The processes by which the rival astronomers arrived at their con- clusions were not disclosed, and the unlearned are invited to take their choice between them without preju- dice.

NOT A SUNDAY OCCUPATION
Rector's Little Boy Warned Bishop Williams to Look at Picture
 Book "On the Sly"

The late Bishop Williams of Con- necticut was very fond of children, and it was always joy to us young sters, says writer in Harper's Magazine, when he came for his visit to my fathers parish. His anecdotes and stories enlivened the household. Once, when he was stay ing with us, he told the following story:
 "One Sunday morning, just after breakfast, I reported to the rector's study, where I was soon followed by his little four-year-old son, who climbed up on my knee and began to talk. Suddenly the little fellow looked up into my face and said : Bishop, do 'oo want to see my ply gy book?'
 "9Yes, indeed,' said I. So the child slid down and started to get the book. When half way across the room a sudden idea seemed to strike him, and running back and putting one hand on my knee, he looked up in my face and shook his little fore finger at me, whispering, 'Bissop, it's Sunday. We must do zis on ze slyp"

RECORD IN PIANO PLAYING.

The Paris newspapers record a feat of endurance on the part of one Thorpe, described as a native of Bo- hemia, who played the piano for thirty hours and fifteen minutes without stopping. It seems that there is a record even in this kind of folly and that it was formerly held by MT. Waterbury, whose per- formance extended over twenty-eight and half hours. The report states that Thorpe was fed and given stim- ulants during the entertainment But nothing is said about the audi ence, as to whether they brought their beds or took their enjoyment in parts.

TRAINING FOR MATRIMONY.

As a mean of remedying the di- vorce evil several speakers recently in convention of the Allied Char ities of Indianapolis suggested chil- dren should be taught early about marriage, its duties and its sacred- ness. They said if children were trained as rigosously in the meaning of divorce as some are in their re- ligious duties, they would grow up to understand marriage should not be entered into lightly and that di- vorces are wrong. Charles W. Moore of that city spoke in that vein, say ing that people marry heedlessly, and do not understand the real spir- itual meaning of the marriage rela- tion." He adds boys and girls should be trained carefully.

That evening a messenger arrived at his house for the copy, but Thackeray was dining out. Next morning he rushed down to the club in desperate anxiety, and after an exciting search the manu- script was discovered in the dust mans box, into which it had been swept by a housemaid.

DEEP MOURNING FOR DOGS
Dress in Black When Their Pets Die.

Deep mourning for pet dogs is the latest feminine fad in London. Deep mourning among human be- ings to a certain extent has gone out of fashion. Deep mourning for dogs is taking its place.
 A London woman tells how, hav- ing advertised the loss of her dog, she was surprised and shocked to receive the same evening an envelope in mourning nearly an inch deep. Inquiring of her veterinary surgeon what this meant, she was told that mourning for dogs by memorial cards, with deepest black edging, and even by wearing black clothes, Is becoming a definite fashion.
 'In one instance," he said, a clergyman accompanied a dog to its burial. Many smart women owners now intimate the death of pet dog by means of mourning cards.
 'They use the deepest of borders sometimes three-quarters of an inch deep-on their envelopes, and have special mourning cards printed of the same pattern as those used when human beings are concerned" l"
