Johann Kepler in his peculiar genius (for he
showed that the births of Enoch, Moses, Cyrus,
Caesar. Charlemagne, and Luther were preceded
by important astrological events) led the way in
calling attention to the astronomical phenomena
that preceded the birth of Christ. He pointed
out that there must have been conjunction OF
the planets Jupiter and Saturn at about the
time OF Christ's birth. and even made few pre-
minary calculations to prove his case. The con
junction occurred in the sign Pisces. from time
immemorial identified with the destinies OF
Israel A conjunction in that sign always signi-

The desirablity of establishing

22S acres in Sussex. The breeding

the raising of ordinary farm crops
will be undertaken.

husband. with no support for herselt
and seven-year-old boy twins and she
i'll in hospital, the mother had given
quantity of her blood to obtain
money for the twins support The
story of the mothers sacrifice became
public when Detective Thomas Quirk
returned from Vineland with Brown,
who had been indicted by the grand
jury for deserving his family.
According to the detective, Brown
disappeared in March and until three
months ago the mother worked to
provide for herself and children. Then
she had to go to Johns Hopkins hos
pital to become the mother of another.
During her Illness her small savings
dwindled until she had but few pen
MES left, and recently, while she was
patient, she sold quantity of her
blood for S25 to pay the board of her
other children. who were being looked
after by friends.
Learning one day that patient in
another institution was in a serious
condition and that the only hope of
the surgeons was in transfusing some
healthy blood into his body, Mrs.
Brown offered to sell her blood. The
surgeons made an examination, found
her blood healthy and a vein in her
left wrist was opened and the blood
taken. Mrs. Brown stood the opera
ton well in few weeks was able
to leave the institution.
In the meanwhile the case Of the
mother and children was brought to
the attention of the states attorneys
office and the husband was located in
Vineland. The authorities there re-
fused to arrest the man. it Is said, and
