MOISTURE ON THE MOON.
Some Little Life May Still Remain In
Spots on the Planet.


Is the moon entirely dead. or are
there still some traces of life left:
Most scientists assume that it is but
the skeleton of planet. without air
or water. But here and there an as
tronomer of courage declares that he
has discovered signs that there is still
going ON some sort of geological ac-
ton.
The latest is Johannes Korn. who de
voted Il year to study of the little
crater Taquet. He claims that Il week
after new moon this appears as a
crater full of deep shadow. But in a
few days the crater is replaced by a
bright spot, although the neighboring
craters are easily distinguished.
A few days more and the crater re-
appears and doesn't change its ap-
pearance until another lunar day
comes.
Professor Korn's theory is that va
por forms in the depths of Taquet dur
ing the long cold lunar night. Then,
as the sun advances. the vapor warns
and expands. finally filing the crater.
so that it cannot be seen. Still later in
the long lunar day the vapor is dissi-
pated by the heat and the crater again
stands out empty and barren.
Similar conditions have been Observ-
ed in other craters. always the same
ones, while others near them show
no changes. The conclusion this OBJ
server has reached is that there is still
a little life left in few places on the
moon-that is. there is some sort Of
eruption Of vapor.
Whether there is any animal or veg
etable life is another question.-Bos

MUSICAL. NOTATION.



Considerable attention is being given
In the musical world. especially in Eu-
rope, to new system of notation In
vented by man from the Argentine
Republic and adapted to new series
of keys of which he is also the orig
inator Nearly ten years ago he tried
to get his system recognized. but could
not conquer the Indifference OF must
clans. Now, however. he has so i'm
proved upon his work that many mu-
sicians in Europe are enthusiastic over
the idea Aside from the fact that 1t Is
said to facilitate note reading, it is ex-
pected in time to reduce the present
more or less complicated musical writ
ing to cor parative simplicity.
This system of musical notation con-
sists of scale Of dozen sounds.
which are called Ia. Sc. 81, do. du. re.
70. mi. ia. fe. sol and nu. These CORE
spond respectively, the la to la sharp
or 81 fat, 81 to do sharp or re fiat. re to
re sharp of mi fiat Of our present sys-
TEN.
1t is claimed that this will finally do
away with the system Of sharps and
fats as we know them in playing and
reduce the writing of music to three
simple signs. notes on. above or below
the line. and some slight notifications
to express duration. intensity, bass.
treble, etc, more exactly than at pres
ent.
The keyboard which in time will ac-
company this system of notation Is
adapted to pianos actually in use. there
being no difference between the spaces
of white and black keys. The la is in
dicated in azure. while the new scale
tones ldu and r0l are designated by
white lines drawn down the center of
the black keys.-Harpers Weekly.

HATTERS' UNION LOOKS
 FOR NO TROUBLE.
Disagreement Confined to One De.
 parment of Soft Hat Branch.

Danbury, June 14-Officers of the Hatters' Union in this city denied to- day that there was any probability of serious difficulty between members of the trade and their employers as the result of a difference that has arisen in the factory of the Lee-McLachlin Company. in regard to the price to be paid for certain parts of the man. ufacture of hats. The matter is con- fined to one department of the soft hat branch of the factory and is the result of differing interpretations of an arbitration report. About seventy men are involved. A new feature arose today in the calling of con- ference of those who were instrument tai in the signing of an agreement for arbitration in the hat trade at the conclusion of the long tie-up in the industry three years ago. One of the provisions of that agreement was that there should be no cessation of work pending the settlement of any difficulty that might arise. It is said that there was a stoppage of work in the present case in violation of the a agreement.

LITTLE GRAND DUCHESS,

 HING MANUUL9s BRIDE.

Mir we11e b1eiwe wat mir sinv, the people of Luxembourg are singing to- day, this being the refrain of the na- tiona1 anthem, meaning, Well a1- ways remain what we are" It's a brave boast to be made by little oao-mouthfu1 nation that never before to4ay has had a ruler born on it's own soil Grand Duchess Marie to- day celebrates her eighteenth birth day and ascsnds the throne. the crown of the little principality having pass ed to her on the death of the Grand Duke William Alexander last Febru- ary. She Is the first of her sex as we'll as the first native of Luxembourg to rule over the destinies of what is, next to Monaco, the smallest indepen- dent country in the world, AS the keystone of the France-German from tier, Luxembourg occupies a strategic position. and it's future as a nation as far from bright.
 It has been persistently rumored that the celebration of the coming of age Of the Grand Duchess today will be made the occasion of the announce ment of her ''choice'' of a prince con- sort. Manuel, former King of Por- tuga1. has been consistently mentioned in this connection, and it is under stood that his 'wooing'' has the back ing of England. Emperor William is alleged to have entered one of his sons in the Luxembourg matrimon- lal stakes, but France would bitterly oppose such an alliance. Holland and Belgium also have candidates for the heart and hand of the little Grand

Belgium and Italy. The prin- day was founded in the tenth cen- tury by a robber baron who called himself the Sire of Luxembourg, and ever since it has been a plaything of Europan powers. Germany, France, Belgium and Holland almost went to war over Luxembourg in 1869, and again a few years later.

COMPANY OF CLOWNS Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on
 Earth Chock Full of Laughter.

Among the fifty clowns with the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth are the representatives of ten different countries, besides America. The clown speaks a universal Ian guage. In this respect he has an ad- vantage over the stage comedian. No matter if he does not know word of English, he can make an American boy or man, girl or woman laugh. He tells his stories with motions, antics and grotesQue paraphernalia.
 1t would be useless to bring a for eign stage comedian to this country if
 he could not speak English. He would
 have to return home on his trunk But a Persian clown who has not enough English at command to order a plate of ham and eggs can go out on the sawdust of circus arena and make Barnum and Bailey circus there are two funny fellows, the Garcenittis, who are the greatest clowns in the world. They areItalian by birth, but they have lived Tong in Asia and for many years have been court comedians in the palace of the Sultan of Turkey.
 There are the Geromes and James Duval, from France. who can't speak English but can make an Englishman split his sides with laughter. There is Waldo from Spain and Ford from France. There is Rossi from Italy duU OlILdAI IlOIu 6tIuIduy. 0lGH MC- Intosh and Will Scott are from Scot land, and H. La Pearl is from Bel gium. Sam Bennett is an Australian and so is Harry Shinn, while Dan Winslow, Harry Clemence, Harry Hill and Bill Robinson are from England. These fellows are the children of old King Jolly. They invented sunshine and taught the children of men how to laugh
