Johann Kepler in his peculiar genius (for he
showed that the births of Enoch, Moses Cyrus
Caesar, Charemagne, and Luther 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 Christs birth, and even made few pre-
liminary calculations to prove his case. The
junction occurred in the sign Pisces from time
immemorial identified with the destinies Of
Israel. conjunction in that sign always sign
ned the rising of some mighty master Of the
Jewish race. Such conjunction of Jupiter and
Saturn occurs once in about 500 years. 1t was
therefore, sufficiently extraordinary in Kepler's
eyes to herald the birth of Messiah.
Not until 1926 was Kepler's suggestion seri
ously considered by astronomers. In that year
Professor ldeler, of Berlin, computed the posi-
tions of Jupiter and Saturn and proved that they
were actually in conjunction in b. c. His cal

of good or evil and particularly as nafpnsers
of pestilance and war To poetic eastern peo-
ple who revered the stars as symbols especially
set in the heavens for the guidance of men,
comets were undoubtedly awesome visitors. The
Chaldeans Persans and Jews were astronomlc-
ally no more enlightened than the mediaeVal
Christians and If at the fall Of Constantlnople
in 1853 all Christendom was alarmed at the ap-
pearance of a comet Ia comet which we now
know to have been Halley's), it is highly prob
able that the Orient was less impressed by
these sudden vistations, Comprising, as 1t does,
a nucleus, coma" envelope surrounding the
nucleus and measuring from twenty thousand
to million miles in diameter and long tail
which streams behind the nucleus for sixty to
a hundred million miles more, comet Is one
of the most mysteriously beautiful celestial ap-
partitions that ever meets the eye. But whether
not the Star Of Bethlehem really was such an
apparition can affirm with certainty. An
astronomer can merely state that the idea is not
untenabe and that 1t Is less Objectionable than
the conjunction hypothesis.
Lastly, the theory has been proposed that the
Star of Bethlehem what Is called new"

in the heavens and fades away again to its
former magnitude after the lapse of weeks or
months. Such new stars are not altogether rare.

the fifteenth century. Since the fifteenth cen

In our own time they discovered with fair
frequency.
Even before the invention Of the telescope
such new stars were studied by astronomers.

When they questioned where the king was
to be born they answered: In Bethlehem OF
Judea for thus It is written by the prophet And
thou. Bethlehem in the land of Juda, art not the
least among the princes of Juda for out of thee
shall come governor, that shall rule my people
Israel" According to the authorized version 1t
is then stated in the New Testament that
"Herod when he had privily called the wise men,
inquired of them diligently what time the star
appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and
said Go and search diligently for the young
child; and when we have found him, bring me
word again, that may and worship him
also When they had heard the king, they de
parted: and 10, the star, which they saw In the
east went before them till it came and stood
over where the young child was. When they saw
the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy"
That is the whole story of the Star of Bethle-
hem as It is simply and directly told in the sec
ond chapter of the gospel according to st. Mat
thew.
1t was coister fancy Of the dark ages hand
ed down through centuries, that led the Chris

miraculous lumnary, akin to the pillar OF flrt

purpose Of leading the Magi to the birthplace
of Christ The modern Christian Is more apt
to regard the star as a natural phenomenon and

VIM. Eich, a Minor, Found
Nearly Frozen After Pur-
chase ofLiquor.
somers Saloon Man Brought Into Court
on Charge of Selling to Minors Is
Released on Payment of Costs After
Circumstances Are Related to Court.

John Wirtz, well known saloon man
OF the village of Somers, was brought
before Judge Randall in the municipal
court on Tuesday afternoon charged
with selling liquor to minor. Wirtz
was discharged on the payment of the
costs in the action as the conditions
were most unusual Judge Randall
however, gave a warning that in the
future no such clemency would be
shown.
The complaint in the ease was made
by Philip Eich of Somers and he al
legged that William Eich, a sixteen year
old boy had not only purchased drinks
in the saloon, but he had started home
with bottle of whislxey in his pocket
which had been purchased at the same
place. William Eieh was in court ami
while his brothers were ready to testi-
.fy that he was but sixteen years Of age
he looked to have been voter for
several years and it would have been
apparent to any jury that bartender
might have made this mistake.
Young Eich is alleged to have gone
into the saloon during the extreme
cold weather ana he was alleged to
have been under the influence of IL
quor when he started for his home.
He fell along the road and was later
found by the brother who made the
complaint. The boy was UNCONSCIOUS
and his brother declared to the court
that had it not been for his happen
ing to come along and find him tile
brother would have probably frozen
to death. Eich carried his brother
home and put him to bed, but it was
some time before the condition Of the
boy made it possible for him to come
to court and make the complaint and
the warrant for the arrest Of Wirtz
was not issued until last Saturday
night.
Writ declared in stating his case
to the court that he had not sold
the liquor to Eichl and that the mau
who had been in the saloon at the
time was a substitute bartender The
Eich brothers were willing to with
draw the charges against Writ under
the circumstances and the district at
torney consented to take this course.
Since the recent cleanup Of .Somers
by the town board which resulted in
the arrest of all the liquor dealers in
the town there have been few complaints
against the violation of the laws. 1t
is declared that the members of the
town board are still ready to stand
behind any prosecutions that may be
demanded and that the proximity of
the town election vii in no way af-
feet their vigor in the prosecution of
such complaints.
