hundred years ago, and to investigate
the romantic story of Rholfs, who
found traces of great road running
out in the desert until the sand OBJ
liberated them. What lies beyond
that lost track? Whittier did that
great highway lead, and of what char
acter were the people who construct
ed it?
These questions, which have been
put SO often, are supposed to have in
spired the plot of Rider Haggards
romance, King Solomon's Mines" at
any rate, they appear to Doctor
Siegert to be well worth answering.
The headquarters of this expedition
will be in the Nile valley. From it the
airship will sail about 80 miles to
the oasis district in the desert. In
an oasis depot will have been pre-
pared with cylinders of gas, spare
screws and other f1ttings-everything
needed to repair any damage that
may have been or may be done to the
craft. From the depot the dirigible
will start on her real digit of more
than 600 miles over the undiscovered
country" Having traversed 1t, Doctor
Siegert will attempt either to reach
the coast or to return to the Lybian
oasis. The expeditions cost is esti-
mated at $250,000.

on the corners along the route to
the prison.
The sheriff allowed Deitz to drink
bottle of pop-all he drinks-and
have a cigar, while the other men
refreshed themselves with a glass
of beer. This was in saloon on the
main street. Deitz walked through
the prison gates as if not at all

Newark to New York.
Owner Carries Little Porker In Her
Arms and Successfully DeceIves
conductors-Stifled SqueaI
Betrays Secret.

New York.-If H. hadn't been for
stified squeal and very piglike wrig-
gle the taxicab driver would never
have known that one of his fares
wasn't human. In fact, the chauffeur
rubbed his eyes several times before
1t finally dawned on him that Mrs.
Marie Watson's travelling companion
was a pig instead Of baby.
The chauffeur wasn't to blame for
being deceived, for several conductors
had made the same mistake. They
don't know even now that the bundle
Mrs. Watson carried so tenderly In
her arms was not baby At all, in
spite of its baby cap and fifty little
coat and the milk bottle which Mrs.
Watson produced every now and then
on her ride from Newark.
Mrs. Watson, az almost every vaude
vile performer knows, is the wife of
Sam Watson, who has a barnyard cir
Gus. One of the star performers was
wee pig, but it got so fat that Mrs.
Watson decided that another pig
would have to join the show, one that
she could hold in her arms without
straining her muscles.
After some correspondence she
found what she wanted in the pig line
on farm just outside of Newark
The pigs owner agreed to sell free
on board at Newark. but not Manhat-
tan.
Mrs. Watson and her husband went
into conference to decide how to get
the pig here.
Leave it to me-" said Mrs. Watson.
'T'll just bring the pig over on the
train"
Her husband suggested that pigs
were not allowed on passenger trains.
But Mrs. Watson knew what she was
talking about.
Leave it to me-" she repeated, and
Mr.. Watson did So
Mrs. Watson made the trip to New
ark the other day and met the farm
er and his pig. Mrs. Watson wis
pered few words Of pig language In
the little fellows ear and proceeded
to dress him up in baby attire. The
cap was cute affair of muslin and
baby chiffon, with near-blue ribbon
at the tip. The baby coat was also
blue, as was a blanket which Mrs.
Watson had provided. When the
dressing was finished the farmer de-
parted chuckling over the transforms
ton.
With the pig in her arms Mrs.
Watson proceeded to the Newark sta
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad and
boarded train for Jersey City. The
pig wasn't making sound. Perhaps
it was because of those few whispered
words of pig language Of which Mrs.
Watson says she has smattering.
Perhaps it was bottle of milk which
the pig tippled now and then. Anyhow
no one on the train imagined that 1t
was anything else than very quiet
and well-behaved baby that Mrs. Wat
son was carrying in her arms.

TWINKLING STAR MEANS LIFE

planets originally were small bodies
forming at great distance from the
sun, and that their masses have been
increased by gathering up all manner
of lesser bodies from meteori.es 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.
Even our moon is planet which
came to us from the heavenly space,
and was never thrown out OF the Pa
