Shooting Stars.

Astronomers estimate that about
10000. 600 600 of shooting stars reach
this earth In the form of meteOrites or
dust every year. OF course shooting
stars in reality are not stars at all;
they are little cosmic particles, often
weighing much less than one ounce
and composed mostly of iron and car
bon. Most of them travel around the
sun in the same fashion that comets
do. following very tiatten,d elliptical
trajectories. Sometimes it happens
that the trajectory Of some OF these
bodies cross the trajectory Of our own
earth. II the little meteoiite and the
earth get to that point at the same
time they naturally collide. These
planetoids are not luminous in them
selves. So long as they hr through
ether (which is utter nothin:>nessl there
is no friction; therefore no heat and no
light But as soon as they enter the
atmosphere with which our globe is
surrounded their speed is so great that
the friction against the air Immediate
ly lights and volatilizes them.-New

Modern "Dew Ponds"

The ancient dew ponds" of Eng
land have their modern counterparts
ing water is obtained by the conden-
satiOn of the abundant dew in espe-
cially prepared basins. The primitive
process consists in making hollow in
the ground and filling the bottom with
dry straw. over which is placed lay
er of clay. On clear night the clay
cools very rapidly, and the dew is con-
densed Into water in the basin. The
pond is improved by putting layer Of
asphalt or portland cement under the
straw. At Gibraltar the present prac-
tice Is to use wood instead OF straw
and sheet iron instead Of clay.

First Aid

Speaking of the necessity for wide
spread education in first aid to the
injured. the st. Louis Times says:
Perhaps it will not be taken am;ss
if we call attention to the obvious fact
that nine-tenths of all the trouble in
the world is due to ignorance of GER
tain simple things. 1t might even be
said safely that all mishaps of what
ever fundamental. physical and spirit
ull--;,re due to want of experience
and training. Accidents of thou
sand varieties. from drowning to the
taking of dose from the wrong bot
tie. are in a majority of cases fatal
simply because there was not present
some one who knew what to do In
iuiies which almost tear the body to
pieces are durable if the man Of train
ing and experience is at hand. The
simplest injuries often prove fatal
when they are not properly attended
to. when the injured person does not
get the benefit of a little simple help"

When the World Was Drunk.

Nowhere In all the world today can
be found rs many confirmed drunk
ards as there were among the Thra-
clans. the Iberians. the CeIts or the
Scythians. The man who didn't get
drunk every day or two was regarded
rs queer. The Greeks were moderate
drinkers until they began to copy the
luxury of the Persian feasts. The Ro-
mans initiated the Greeks. Then the
whole world went on a mad drunk 1t
was saturnalia. Caligula owes his
richie in the hall of fame to the drunk
en- hanquets with which he made even
Rome marvel. The excuses made
fashionable by such potentates as Lu-
cuIlus. Nero. Verres. Tiberius. Caligu-
Ia. Vitellius and Domitian really began
in the days of Pompeii, and they mark
the beginning Of the end of the repub-
lic.-Argonaut.
