SAYS WE'LL ANNEX CANADA
EXPECTS INTERVENTION

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE
conquest of Mexico and the annex
alton of Canada were possibilities
suggested by Representative Fecht
of Pennsylvania, in the course of
the debate on the farmers free list
bill in the house last week. Rep
resentative Fecht not only declared
that before this session was over
United States troops would be cross
ing the border into Mexico, as the
first step in the domination of that
country by the United states, but
insisted that the Canadian people
are ready for annexation. and that
it would come within reasonable
time. An army officer recently re-
turned from Mexico, was mentioned
by Mr.. Fecht as authority for his
inside information" in regard to
Mexico. His familiarity with senti-
ment in Canada, Fecht gave as
the basis for his annexation talk.
Mr.. Fecht's remarks, like all pre-
vious annexation talk were taken
as a joke by the house.

ON Her TRIP FROM
COAST TO COAST
GIRL RIDING ACROSS COUNTRY
FINDS 1T MORE THAN A
SIMPLE VACATION?

The following from the San
Francisco Dramatic Review tells of
the experiences that are Detailing
Nan Aspinwall, the girl who is rid
ing from coast to coast and who
appeared at the Park theater in
San Francisco last September:
Miss Nan Aspinwall, who left
San Francisco September l, on
horseback with a letter from Mayor
Mccarthy to Mayor Gaynor of New
York, is having a strenuous time
of it, according to newspaper ac-
counts enroute, that Miss Aspin-
wall has sent Prof. Henry. Here
is one: Miss Aspinwall is the
"never-again girl" Crossing the
white Death" she struck the first
desert, from Fallon, Nevada, to
Austin, Nevada, 150-mile stretch,
only finding shelter once, On this
part of the ride she saw many wild
horses and came up within sixty
feet of a band of them. She saw
the bones of man, wild animals
and people who had lost their lives
| from drinking the arsenic water
1.-THE only kind this particular des-
ert affords) and from other causes,
such as heat, billiards., etc. On
the trip from Austin to Battle
Mountain, Miss Aspinwall had to
seek Accommodations at Hot Springs
with cattle rustlers. They charged
1885 for feed of wild hay. Miss
Aspinwall looks upon the ride from
Wells, Nevada, which she rode for
500 miles as about the most event
full of her trip. From ShafteT
to Proctor, in trying to take a
short cut, she got on a prospector's
road which led up granite noun
tain. All at once she discovered
she was lost In trying to go back
she could find no trail, as the
horses feet, or her own, had made
no impression ON granite. She wan
dered all that day and finally tied
her horse and climbed one of the
points near to see if she coul6
see any signs of a habitation. Ir
coming back down, the underbrusf
was so thick she was unable t.
find her horse. She sat down re
duced to despair, not knowing wha
to do. While sitting there tn,
mare got restless and neighed TO
her rider. Miss Aspinwall feel
that is the only thing that save
her life, as she had exhausted ev
cry means of finding her location
! and the loss of her horse tool
away her nerve completely. Sh
was in this lost condition two day
and one night, with only the buncl
, grass for her horse, and no foo
for herself. 1t was freezing col
at night and boiling hot throug
the day. From Salt Lake to Gree
river she followed the Denver |
e Rio Grande railroad. At the latte
p place the bridge had been washe
out and she was compelled to swiI

that she and the two men VIII

3 little smaller and moon No. f one third our moons size
 To have lost a day on Jupiter is not as serious a matter as it is here. for the days and nights there are only five hours each in length.
 But the years, the years, They are twelve times as long as ours; and any one here who reached the age of three score and ten" would have achieved a fair patriachial age; and any one who came to be over eighty two would beat Methusaleh, the star multi-centenarian.
 The people of Jupiter do not notice that the days grow gradually longer and the nights shorter. or vica versa. q. for there is no inclination of it's xxi , toward its orbit. as in the case If the Earth: and a day is five hours and a night five hours, the year round. The summers and winters are divided, not according to the seasons of the year, but to the place on the planets surface where one chances or chooses to live. Thus, any one who likes a torrid climate the year round can live at the equator; one who wish es 1t a little cooler can live nearer tn" poles: and so on, until, probably. he can get as much snow and ice as he wants, if he has Earth curiosity enough tc try reaching either pole.
 Jupiter is generally surrounded by from one to eight luminous belts. that look like long clouds of impris- oned light. They vary greatly in length and width. frequently changing their forms. and puzzling astronomers as to their cause and character.

THE GIANT OF PLANETS.
Notable Characteristics and Incredible
 Magnitude of Jupiter.

Jupiter is indeed the "big fellow of all our neighboring planets. We often say "the world is wide" and so 1t is: as you would probably admit, If vou would try to walk and swim around it. But, while the earths CIT conference is 25,000 miles, that of Ju- bitter is 55,000-a distance that would have compelled Jules Verne more than nine months to travel, at the speed ne accomplished in the novel. instead of eighty days. All our other planets put together and nodded into one would not produce half so large a nlanet as Jupiter No wonder he was named after the chief god of the Gre elan and Roman mythology!
 of course, such a large planet IS really entitled to more than one moon' and the people of Jupiter are the pos sessors of four all to themselves. There is never an hour of the night. on any part of the planet, when one or more of these satellites cannot be seen. Jupiter's moons revolve around it a good deal as it and other planets do around the sun; and we thus see the big planet actually conducting little imitation of the solar system OH it's own account. These moons were discovered by Calico, soon after the telescope came into use; IL VIII pc seen that this celebrated ltallah as tronomer established the fact that oth- CT things moved as well as the world" The reader can redlscoVer these moons whenever they are visioie through almost any opera glass or small telescope.
