STARS THAT FADE AWAY.

From lie Temps.

From lie Temps.
Commenting upon the gradual fading
away Of the new star which was discov-
cred near the Gemini constellation by a
Norwegian astronomer March II, and was
christened Nova, 1872 correspondent
observes that it's light will not go out al
together. 1t will go on getting feebler
and feebler, its light changing from white
to yellow and red, until 1t surrounds itself
with a nebulous cocoon.
There was a similar case of sudden
birth of star in February. 1901, when
for some days, the new creation shone in
the heavens with a brilliance only in
ferior to that of Sirius. Now 1t has di-
minished to a star of the twelfth order OF
magnitude
The most celebrated Of all these star
tling appearances. probably caused by the
collision of two dark stars, which, like
the earth, conceal beneath a cold exterior
q raging furnace, was that of the won
derful pilgrim" noticed in October, lot2,
by Tycho Brahe. He was on his way
ping at the old monastery on the Herritz-
waldt, belonging to his uncle.
Here he would stay in his chemical
laboratory till nightfall, and one evening
when he was studying the heavens ne
noticed, near the zenith, in the constella-
tion of Cassiopea, glorious star Of ex-
traordinary splendOr. To satisfy himself
that he was not the subject Of an optical
delusion he made the men working under
him look in the same direction. and they
confirmed him.
He heard later that carriers and other
folk had seen the apparition before the
astronomers, and much chaff ensued at
the expense Of the men Of science.
The new star surpassed even Sirius In
brilliance. Lyra and Jupiter had to hide
their diminished heads. In fact, 1T could
only be compared for magnifcence to
Venus when she is nearest the earth: Per
sons possessed Of good sight could dis
tinguish it in the daytime, even at mid
day. when the sky was free from clouds;
In December Of that year its glory had
sunk to the level Of Jupiter's; In the fol-
lowing January 1t was below that that planet
only a star Of the twelfth magnitude. and
in March Of the following year, after q
brief life Of seventeen months, 1t passed
out Of human ken altogether. While
it shone there We're not wanting i,g.t those tse

this, of course, is out Of the question 1t

French Fishermen's Catch.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
An amusing story is going the rounds
of the French press concerning the ad-
ventures of the fishing boat Marie Jeanne
The little vessel had been fishing a good
time and had not succeeded in taking
more than a basket of sardines.
Then there was an unexpected disturb
ance under the water and the fishermen
felt strong resistance to their attempts
to land the fish which they had taken
1t was evidently large porpoise or some
big fish which would repay their trouble
But in spite of all their efforts they could
not draw it up. Then they perceived
their little vessel was being carried
against the wind The men were alarmed.
"Cut the linen' the master shouted. "Cut
it, boys," he screamed.
When the submarine Fruictidor came
into the basin at Lorient every one was
surprised to find that she had rope at
tached. The master of the Marie Jeanne
on learning this applied to the treasury
for the cost OF the rope that he had lost.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LONDON. July 6.-The founding in Eng
land OF a self-governing community for
refractory boys and girls. on the lines of
the George Junior Republic in America.
was discussed yesterday at Sunderland
House. placed at the disposal Of the pro-
moters Of the scheme by the Duchess OF
Marlborough.
Earl Grey presided and among the au-
dience were the Dowager Countess of
Dunmore. the Countess OF Cromer. Lady
Meyer the Earl of Sandwich and Admiral
the Hon. Victor Montagu.
1t Is the intention of a group OF phi
lanthropists to revolutionize the present
reformatory system. and to give delin-
Quent boys and girls the chance OF de-
veloping into desirable citizens.
The worse the boy the better pleased
will be his rescuers. and the super-scally-
wag will be put in position OF supreme
authority In the juvenile republic.
He will be president, and will himself
select the cabinet and legal ministers by
whom the republic will be governed.
Girls will not be tied down to house,
work, but will have opportunities OF
learning suitable trades.
Earl Donates Farm.
d
farm, rent free, in Dorsetshire, where it is
hoped that colony of ten pioneers will
set up self-governing community next
October.
I'VE want to introduce the element of
responsibility into the life of these re-
formatory children said George Mon
tagu. chairman OF the committee. THAT
is the only method by which bad boys
may be turned into good citizens.
Loyal citizens working for their daily
wage will have no sympathy with shirk-
ers. and the lawless newcomer will soon
learn the truth Of the maxim. II any will
not work, neither shall he eat
I'VE hope that the existing farmhouse,
which we have called Flowers Farm, will
become the nucleus OF a small village.
THE home office already Is interested,
and all we need now is financial support
A capital sum Of 10000 is required, and
the upkeep will cost from $4,000 to $2O,-
OOO year."

TO PROPAGATE WILD DUCKS.
Farm Bought Near Boston to Pre-
serve the Various Species.

From the Buffalo Evening News.
The American Game Protective and
Propagation Association is founding a
farm for the breeding of wild ducks,
quail, ruffed grouse, pheasants and other
birds. The association has leased 5000
acres about forty miles southeast of
Boston The land acquired has already
been in use as game preserve, and
there are many quail and grouse on it.
''At one time says bulletin issued
by the association. 1.-The ponds in this
section afforded some of the best duck
and grouse shooting in New England,
They lie directly in the line Of flight of
these migrants. which. since restrictions
have been placed on shooting them, have
been alighting there in increasing num-
bers in their southwark and northward
journeys. Many wild fowl breed there,
and the association plans to increase the
number by affording them unusual ad-
vantages In the way of food.
The breeding of wild ducks will be
the initial work OF propagation. A sup
ply of black, mallard and wood ducks
will be purchased Immediately. Corn
will be distributed in the shallow water
around the edges of the ponds. 50 that
the f1ocks brought down by the propa-
gated ducks will be encouraged to nest
will be hatched under hens. This meth-
cd of propagation has been successfully
carried on many times. and as black
ducks and maiards are great layers 1t
is estimated that thousands can be
raised this year
..The reason for so many failures in
attempting to propagate our native birds
have been various, but 1t is not at all
strange that We should fail in this coun-
try at the beginning. People point to the
fact that in England, Scotland and on
the continent thousands Of native birds
are raised annually. but they do not
stop to consider that they are raised by
gamekeepers. father and son having been
engaged in this occupation for genera
tions They have learned the secrets OF
the trade, while in this country we have
given little thought to the matter.
1T is quite likely that the association
will procure an expert gamekeeper from
Scotland to take charge of rearing up
land bros. The foreign gamekeepers in
this country have been very generally
successful. Undoubtedly they will teach
their profession to Americans and will
thus start . line Of gamekeepers In this
country"

Our everyday carelessness and the man.

grants are strikingly Illustrated by a re-
markable book written by w. H. Davies,
the literary tramp. 1t was in a London
lodging house that Mr.. Davies met 1.-The
finder" man who day after day walked
the streets of London with his eyes on
the ground. looking for things which peo-
pie had lost. In a confidential moment
'the finder" showed Mr.. Davies the con-
tents OF his locker in the lodging house.
When 1 saw the things he had 1 was
astonished. for believe this man could
have made living by merely walking
about. He had several fountain pens. one
or 40 shillings. He showed me a gold
pencil case and two silver ones; also a
silver matchbox, finely embossed, which
still contained the matches as it had been
found. saw several purses, all of which
had contained money, and there was a
lady's silk parasol, which had been left
on seat in one of the parks, and also
a gentleman's costly cane, found in the
same way.
He showed me several articles of Jew
elry. such as rings. bracelets and brooch
es, and one pendant, which was a silver
cross with Christ crucified in gold
which he had found one Sunday morn
ing In Hyde Park. Even bOoks-popular
novels that had been left on seats. one OF
which may not have been forgotten, but
read and thrown away-were to be seen
In this mans locker
The finder confessed that sometimes
he went for a whole day without finding
anything Of the least value. but on other
days he was almost certain to find q
number of things One of his methods
was to visit heath or common after a
bank holiday, when he invariably found
something OF value. And he is apparently
not the only one who follows this extra

Extraordinary enough, he never attempt

possessed a small income. which was
enough to keep him. and purposely kept
himsen looking like the commonest beg
gar, SO that people would take less
notice when they saw him STOPPING to
pick things up.
Another dodge to which he resorted
was when he found an envelope lying on
the pavement to take 1t to the address
written on it, no matter whether there
was anything in 1t or not: and If the
person to whom the envelope was ad-
for his trouble he would plead that lie

envelope, as he did not know but what

say, he invariably received q monetary
