Seven Famous Beauties
HELEN OF TROY

in their unadorned beauty, and cacl
offered him bribe. Juno promised him
the sovereignty of Asia; Minerva prom
ised renown in war. and Venus prom
ised the most beautiful of women for
his wife. Paris decided in favor of
Venus, and gave her the golden apple.
The result was that Juno and Minerva
dey eloped intense hatred of Troy, while
Paris, under the protection of Venus.
sailed for Greece and succeeded in carry
ing off Helen from Sparta to Troy.
Hence arose the confederation of the
Greeks and the Trojan war.
So many are the traditions concerning
her history after tbe destruction OF
Troy that they cannot be reconciled
Paris was killed during the siege. and
Helen married his brother. But after
the fall of Troy she became reconciled
to Mcnelaus. According to the Egyptian
legends, is recorded by Herodotus. Helen
was never in Troy, but remained in
Egypt, while the woman known as Helen
of Troy was simulacrum, due to the
enmity of the goddess who had singled
out Troy for destruction. Thus nearly
five centuries before our era an attempt
had been made to relieve Helen of the
odium of being an unfaithful wife. 1t
is worthy of mention here that German
scholarship has applied itself to the
chronology OF Helen's life, with the re-
suit of showing that she must have been
10 years old when she returned to
Sparta with her husband after the Tro-
jan war.
After Menelaus' death the women Of
Sparta are said to have murdered Helen.
Much Of the story of Helen Of Troy is
now said to be legendary. but the ancient
Greeks accepted 1t -as history. Homer,
In his ''Il;ad," has made Helen and the
stcge Of Troy immortal. weaving into

On coming into the title her husband
settled 100000 a year on his wife and
when he died he left her every penny he
possessed. She thus became one of the
largest landowners in England, with resi-
dences at Theobald's Park, Waltham
Cross, at Sheen. a chateau in France, and
house in Park lane, to which must be
added his large personal estate and the
famous brewery.
Lady Meux was distinguished for her
many charities. During the South African
war she sent out tons of comforts to the
British troops and also purchased and
presented to the country a battery OF
guns which was one of the most complete
unique collection of Nelson relics includ-
ing the famous Hamilton necklace. given
to Lady Hamilton by Nelson himself
Lady Meux was also a keen sports
woman and raced under the name of
Mr.. Theobald.'' One of the best horses
she ever bred was Volodyovski. a Derby
winner. She leased the colt to the late
Lord William Beresford. who died before
the race. AS the horse had been nomi-

London, Dec 31-Those who hold that
dreams sometimes have significance will
have their belief strengthened by the

Waratah disappeared somewhere be-

a voyage from Melbourne to South Afri-

quit the ship at Durham, the first port of

NEW TAX LAW FRAMED.
German LeEislation VIII BE Severe
in Conditions

Berlin. Dec. sl-The unearned incre-
ment tax in Germany for imperial pur.
poses provided for by the financial reform
law of 1903 has been put into final shape
by a ReichstaS commission. 1t is very
severe in its conditions.
Under certain conditions the tax rises
to 80 per cent. 1t is thus much higher
than the existing municipal increment
taxes, which are usually at most 20 per
cent. Az sellers of land which fetches
$3.50 or more must pay the tax. In tho
case of built-over land the exemption Is
5000.
The percentage of the tax rises with
the percentage of the sellers profit, but
declines inversely with the term during
which the land has been held. The low
est rate is 10 per cent of the profit, which
is taken where the sellers profit is 10 per
cent on his capital. This rises in grada-
tions until the tax reaches 90 per cent.
where the pront realized is $40 per cent
on the invested capital or more.

Plates Show Thousands of Astral
FIVE ObservatOries Join In Task
of EnumerntinE Bodies.

Oxford, Dec, 5l.-It is estimated by y.
A. Bellamy, of the Oxford University
observatory, that there are about 100.
cW,OO0 of stars in the universe. The
task Of photographing and counting them
is now in progress at about twenty-five
observatories in different parts of the
world
Greenwich has now photographed and
mapped out the sections which under the
scheme were allotted to it. being the first
observatory to complete its part Of the
work. Many Of the stars thus catalogued
are invisible. not only to the human eye,
but also to the eye aided by powerful
telescope. None the less they appear dis
tinctly in the photographs.
This phenomenon is explained by tho
fact that in an photographic telescope .
Photographic plate may be exposed to the
heavens for six hours or longer, whereas
an observer cannot keep his eye closely
on one spot for much more than half or
three-quarters of an hour
Camera Has Good Eye.
Thus the camera, in conjunction with
the telescope, sees more than the OBJ
server. The longer a plate is exposed the
larger number of stars does it reveal.
So minute are thousands of these stars
that powerful microscopes are used to
detect them on the plates
Only one-ninth of the stars shown by
the new Greenwich plates have been re-
corded on paper before. Great though the
achievement of the Royal Observatory is.
1t represents but a fraction of the work
that is being done wherever a suitable
observatory is situated In all 22.o54 neg.

universal enterprise is completed astron-
