CONFUSING THE PUBLIC MIND
Imaginative In Their Theories
About the Universe.

The astronomers are showing
more than their customary activity
Of imagination just now, and as
they differ fatty 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 80 years ago the i'm
aginative school Of astronomers has
claimed possession Of the field, and
speculation as to what happens in
the exterior universe has monopo-
lized the public interest.
Professor See Of the Mare Island
observatory told the American Phil
osophical society the other day that
."living 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 Sc expended his theory of
the universe Professor Svante Au-
guste Arrhe1 Is of Sweden told the
assembled savants 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
quakes.
The processes by which the rival
astronomers arrived at their con-
illusions were not disclosed, and the
unlearned are invited to take their
choice between them without preju-
dice.

CHINESE BELLS.

The natives of China use large
bells of their own make in many Of
their temples and monasteries. I
have noticed all through Japan and
China that the tone Of the monastery
and temple bells is very soft and
smooth, due to the superior quality
of the material used in their manu-
facture and TO the absence of iron
clappers, the result being a marvel
Gus softness of tone. The bells are
never swung being railways suspended
in a fixed frame, and the sound is
produced by striking them on the
outer edge with a wooden msllet.
This makes the soft tones which are
so delightfully."- melodious.-Consular

it, and slipped down into the twi-
light and found a boy who gladly
ran the dozen blocks to Johns house
for the dollar she offered.
But she had not counted on John
Morrison. A bare half hour later
Nellie came to her door.

son is here. / told him you were Ill,
but he says he will see you even if
you are dead. He is following me

Sylvia rose and opened the door,
but she had no time to speak. John
reached his long arm past Nellie and
pulled Sylvia boldly into the hall.
He looked at Nellie.
'Don't go for a minute, Nellie.
Sylvia" he said, holding her arm
until it hurt, "do you love Lee Stew

how she was unable to lie to him.

She looked at him pitifully, and he
saw how it was. He laughed ten

"You can go now-if you want
to, Nellie" he said. And Nellie went
as fast as she could. There in the
dim hall John caught Sylvia in his
arms and held her close while she
cried quietly with her face against
his rough coat.

RECORD IN PIANO PLAYING.

The Paris newspapers record a
feat of endurance on the part of one
Thorpe, described as a native Of Bo-
hernia, who played the piano for
thirty hours and fifteen minutes
without stopping. 1t seems that
there is a record even in this kind
of folly and that it was formerly
held by Mr.. Waterbury, whose per-
Torrance extended over twenty-eight
and half hours. The report states
that Thorpe was fed and given slim
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.

Mrs. Cooney in her book "a

FORGOT ABOUT HIS WEDDING
Edison, Busy With an Invention, Kept
the Bride Waiting for
One Hour.

A Paris newspaper, in an article
on Mr.. Bernard Shaw, recalls the
wedding story of Edison. On the
day appointed for the ceremony the
lady and her friends were assembled
at the registry, but there was no
bridegroom. Time passed, and there
was no sight of him on the horizon.
Then two of her friends set out to
learn the reason. They found him
in his laboratory attentively watch
ing the movements of some new kind
of motor. The inventor gave
start on recognizing his friends, and
then laughed heartily. He had for
gotten all about the wedding. How
ever, it was not too late, the lady
had only had to wait an hour.
This story, observes the London
Globe, is not so picturesque as the
"Peregrine Pickles" aunt, and this
recalls Johnson's story of his own
marriage, and how effectually with
out words he impressed upon "dear
Tetty" that he intended to rule his
own house.

DEEP MOURNING FOR DOGS
Fashionable Women Of London Now
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 a pet dog
by means of mourning cards.
"They use the deepest of borders
sometimes three-quarters of an
inch Deepen their envelopes, and
have special mourning cards printed
of the same pattern as those used
when human beings are concerned"

GREAT RACE OF STEAMBOATS,
Most Famous Contest on the MIssIs-
slppl Was Between the Natchez
and r. e. Lee.

The greatest race ever run on the
Mississippi was between the Natchez,
boat built in Cincinnati and COM
manded by Captain T. P. feathers,
and a New Albany boat, the Robert
4. Lee, under Captain John W. Can
non. There was spirited rivalry be-
tween the two vessels, and when the
Natchez made the fastest time on
record between New Orleans and st.
Louis (f,27S miles in three days,
twenty-one hours and Hfty-eight
minutes) Captain Gallon resolved
TO beat IL. He engaged the
steamer Frank Pargoud and several
fuel boats and arranged for them to
meet him at various points up the
river with wood and coal. Then he
had his boat cleared Of her upper
works likely to catch the wind or
make the vessel heavier.
On Thursday, June 80, 1870, at
4.45 p. m, the Robert e. Lee
steamed out Of New Orleans. The
Natchez followed five minutes later.
The race had been advertised in adj
vance and was now awaited with
gathering interest at all the river
towns. Large crowds were assem-
bled at Natchez, Vicksburg, Helena
and other large places.
Between Cairo and st. Louis the
Natchez afterward claimed to have
lost seven hours and one minute on
account of a fog and broken ma
chinery. The Robert E. Lee, how
ever, was not delayed, and arrived
in st. Louis thirty-three minutes
ahead of the previous record estab-
lished by her competitor. Fifty
thousand persons from the house
tops, the levee and the decks of
other steamers welcomed the winner
as she steamed into port. Captain
Cannon was the lion of the hour.
The business men gave a banquet
in his honor.-Travel Magazine.

WOMEN DO THE WORK.

OF the natives in Papua a traveller
says: when the natives are young
they are quick to learn, and can be
taught almost any kind of work, and
even up to the time Of their mar
riage they are willing to learn. After
marriage their ambition and intellec-
tual development appear to cease
one of the reasons for this seems
to be that the woman does most OF.
the work, while the man, being the
superior animal-can see no neces-
sity for further exertion. He plays
the part of her protector to perfec-
ton; while she digs in the garden
he leans against tree with his spear
in his hand, apparently prepared TO
keep off intruders, but really be-
cause it is easier than doing the dig
ging."

IL was too late nowl She saw why

After standing for q long while,

John Morrison should not think her
guilty Of such heartlessness as she
had appeared to show. She would
write a note to him. She sat down
and wrote:

me last March. / had not seen il

and forgive me. BY tomorrow ]

It was a horrid note, but she
could not help it. 1t was bare truth

should not think she still cared, but

CHILDREN AND sNossIsHNEss-

that the child's perennial delight In

epic instinct. One is interested IN

one is perfectly sure. I have never
