Tho Points of Our Stars.

The stars on our flag and those on
the great seal Of the United States, as
we'll as those on the seal Of the presi-
dent, are FIVE pointed. The seal Of the
house Of representatives, however,
shows six pointed stars, and there are
Six pointed stars on the diverse Of the
half and quarter dollar coins, with
FIVE pointed stars on the reverse. The
reverse of these coins is a copy Of the
great seal, with the clouds and the
stars omitted. So far as can be as
certained the six pointed star is de
rived from the colonial coins, which
were designed in the manner Of Eng
lish heraldry, which sanctions that
star. The stars on the flag are copied
from the Washington coat Of arms

Discovery Of Speed of-Liaht.

One of the greatest discoveries Of
science is due to observation Of the
eclipses of .Iupiter's moons. It was
found that when the earth was in the
part OF its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes
earlier than when it was in the far
thermost part. -Whhtt ttseas by a!l-rgles Of
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time It was
deduced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took sixteen minutes to traverse the
diameter Of the earth's orbit, dis
tance Of about 20O,OO0,0o0 miles, thus
giving to light velocity Of 186,oo0
miles a second, which was accurately
shown later by other experiments

Tka CaanX Grocer,

The canny grocer sized up bis Gus
toner.
She had ordered six strictly fresh
eggs.
He took down the paper bag and, go
ing to the basket. picked them out.
Twisting the top Of the bag together,
he handed It to the woman, who PAID
him and went away.
The canny grocer smiled.
He had given the women seven eggs
when she ordered but six.
He knew that when she reached
home and found she bad seven instead
Of six eggs she would be so delighted
with the supposition that she had over
reached him that she would entirely
disregard the fact that six Of the eggs
were storage and one was dubious.
For the grocer understood human ma
ture.
And he was canny.-Cleveland Plain

HUNTING SEASON NOW OPEN.

The sale of hunting licenses I'M
der the terms of the new game 'aW
began this week. The quail season
opened Nov. Is, and opens the hunt
ing season in the state.
The license this year is entirely
different from what it was under the
old law. The license of one expect
ing to hunt in more than one parish
is So. For those expecting to hunt
in their own parish a SO cent license
is possible, and for those who hunt
in their own ward no license is nec'
essary.'
The Conservation Commission has
announced that it will appoint agents
in different sections of the state To
see that the hunters understand the
regulations of the Conservation Com.
mission and also to check up the pay
ment of hunting licenses.

TIMES UNERRING REVENGEs.

Not excepting Woodrow Wilson,
perhaps William Jennings Bryan is
the most contented man between the
seven seas to-day. A man after his
own heart, one who owes his nomina'
ton and, consequently, his election,
to Mr.. Bryan, has been elected TO
the presidency. And, marvellous TO
relate, the pot1shot which he fired
into the covey in the Baltimore con-
vention last July winged and brought
low on Tuesday two of the three
men who, in different elections, de-
feated Mr.. Bryan for the same high
office. Thus, after many days, We
find exemplified the force Of the Ole
saw which finds the quality in the

was a long time coming, but wher
it did arrive it brought triplets-slic

what have you been trying to cook
in my chatting dish-beefsteak? The
idea of frying beefsteak in silver

as if you had put the beefsteak il
that after you had fried it! And here

TRANSMISSION OF INFANT PA.
RALYsls BY sTABLE-FLY.

Prof. M. j. Rosenau of Harvard
recently announced that he had ap-
parently succeeded in transmitting III
FAINT paralysis from monkey to mon
key through the agency of biting
stable-fly. Confirmation of Rosenau's
work has just appeared in an article
by Anderson and Frost in the U. S.
Public Health Reports.
One point of especial interest In
the results reported is the period
elapsing between the first exposure
of flies to the infected animal and
the development of the disease in
healthy animals, the shortest period
being seven days. These results
would seem to demonstrate conclu
siVely that infant paralysis may bt
transmitted to monkey through the
agency of the stable-fly. 1t remains
of course, for further work to deter
mine whether this is the usual or the
only method of transmission. This
early confirmation, says The Jour
nal of the American Medical Asso
citation, while too late to be of great
value in attempts to control the dis
ease in the United States this year
will undoubtedly result in efforts by
health authorities in localities whe-t
infant paralysis has prevailed, I
eliminate the stable-fly and to pre-
vent it's access to any persons sus
pected of having infant paralysis

RE-PLANT|NG CANE ON
ANGOLA STATE FARM

The planting of some 1900 acres
OF cane by the Board of Control on
Angola is the record made this sea-
son up to date. 1t is planting rec
crd for one season that has perhaps
never been equaled in the state.
Colonel C. Harrison Parker, presi-
dent of the Board of Control, says
that he expects to have 1900 acres
planted before the season ends.
Right now the planting work has
been suspended on account of the
scarcity of cars. The railroads are
unable to furnish the Board of Con-
troll cars in which to move the cane
from Monticello and Oakley planta-
tons to Angola because all of the
sugar refineries between Baton Rouge
and New Orleans have begun grind
ing. The car shortage necessitated
a suspension of planting, but not be-
fore 1900 acres had been put in.
Colonel Parker expects to get in
about 300 acres more. He hopes, in
the near future, to be able to Sc
cure the necessary cars to haul this
cane. With 1900 acres planted the
board will have sufficient to keep
the big sugar refinery at Angola go
ing next season. The crop this year
was entirely destroyed by the high
water of May and June, which laid
waste the big acreage of Angola.
The state is not refining a barrel
of sugar on any of its four big sugar
plantations. The cane crop from
Oakley and Monticello, in Iberville
parish, was used to replant the cane
destroyed on Angola. The cane crop
on Hope plantation, which was the
first and one Of the most productive
plantations Of the state, was used in
replanting the cane acreage on Hope
that was destroyed. Much of Hope
plantation, in Iberia, was covered
with water. The cane on Hope thai
is not used in replanting is being
sold to other refineries. The crop
left, after replanting, was not suffic-
lent to justify the running of the re-
finery this year.
