sun. and that their masses have been
increased by, gathering up all manner
of lesser bodies from meteorites to
satellites.
Professor See outlined the process
by which the planets had been built
up out of matter once circulating in
our nebula as comets, and said the de-
struction of the comets was still caus-
ing showers of cosmical dust to fall
upon the planets. as witnessed in the
celebrated star showers Of, 1899. 1888
and 1866.
"Our system was ONCE literally filled
with comets, and Kepler was right"
he said, when he declared there was
as many comets In the heavens as
there was fish in the sea. And Just
as the planets have been captured and
added to our sun from without, so also
the satellites have been captured and
added on to their several planets.

AL BELLS SILENT AT NIGHT
FlashlIoht System May BE Adopted In
Richmond for Time Signals
and Fire Alarm.

Richmond, va.-City Electrician
William H. Thompson the other day
made the announcement Of the plans
Of his proposed signal system to be
installed upon the tower of the city
hall. The system will consist of lights.
whereby the hours Of the night will be
flashed. as well as will fire alarms and
police signals.
There will be flashlights Of three
colors," Mr.. Thompson explained
"The equipment will be installed in
the balconies of the tower Red lights
will be used for police emergency
calls, white lights for fire alarms and
green lights for flashing the time Of
the night"
Mr.. Thompson will recommend to
the board Of Are commissioners that
the bells. which have not as yet been
silenced at night, be silenced after ten
or eleven o'clock and the flashlight
system used instead.

anese combined to hinder the signing
OF mysterious papers, he should have
realized that the matter was not of
private. but Of public importance. But
the true significance of the events
into which he had been drawn had es-
capped his logical mind. 1t had never
occurred to him that such a series Of
plots. frequent though they might be
in continental Europe, could ever be
attempted in a country like the United
States. And then, he had actually
thought OF little besides the girl and
her needs.
He glanced at her now, but her gaze
was fixed on the scene before them.
The brightness Of her eyes and her
quickened breathing told him how In
tense was her interest.
Across the table from the secretary
Of state sat younger man. His breast
glittered with decorations. and his
bearing and appearance had all the
stiffness Of the high-born Teuton.
VI the men who stood behind the
two seated figures, some were young.
some were old, but all were weighted
with the gravity Of a great moment
Orme inferred that they were secre-
taries aud attaches.
And now pens scratched on paper.

ments. apparently In duplicate. for

! and repeated the action. So these
were the papers which at the last
hour Orme had restored: and this was
the scene which his action had made
possible-all for the sake OF a girl.
! And when the last pen-stroke had
been completed and the seated men
| raised their eyes and looked at each
4 other-looked at each other with the
responsible glance OF men who have
made history-at that moment the girl
whispered to Orme: Come" and 81
lently he followed her back to the
room in which. he had first awaited
her.
"Oh. Girl" he whispered, as she
4 turned and faced him, "Oh. Girl. ! am
30 glad!"
She smiled. please wait for mo-
ment."
When she had disappeared he re-
pictured the scene they had Just wit
messed. With all Its absence of pomp,
1t had left with him an impression
that could never be effaced.

Danger in Cooling off

staying in tepid bath for ten or If
teen minutes is decidedly cooling. The
residents of tropics know the value OF
this cure. Fan yourself dry.
Never be foolish enough to get be-
tween sheets wrung from cold water.
1t will cool you, doubtless; also make
you rheumatic for life.
Don't feel that there is nothing
more cooling than to make ice cream
on hot days. Handling of Ice with
ba-e hands is dangerous, no matter
what the temperature. Wear rubber
gloves.

heart! She had known that he would

the secret telegraphy Of his love had

And yet he did not even know her

Near the book lay an empty en-

He found himself wondering wheth-
