intrinsic LIuht OF Starr.

NJ. Nordmann of the Observatory of
Paris has made some interesting cal
culations Of the intrinsic light OF a
number Of stars, based on the results
he had previously attained In regard
to their effective temperatures The
brightness of a star, as seen from the
earth, does not depend wholly upon
its size and distance. Thus NJ. Nord-
mann finds that Sirius and Vega emit
light the brightness of which is g.
100000 candle power per square cent?
meter, while at the other end Of the
scale the light of Aldebaran amounts
to only $4,000 candlepower per square
centimeter The intrinsic brightness
of Vega is. according to this calcula-
tion, nineteen times that of the sun.
If Vega were Of the same size as Aide
baran and at the same distance from
the earth. the former would appear to
us over 200 times as bright as the
latter.

Educational Value Of Photography.
Few pursuit. afford so valuable :
mental training as photography. It
teaches method and system. accuracy.
cleanliness, and order. The use OF the
camera cultivates the powers OF OBJ
servation. the appreciation Of the
beautiful. alertness and judgment. The
way In which optics. chemistry, and
mechanics are applied in combination
fc- the production of pictures, stimu-
lates an interest in physical science.
In the truest sense, photography is
an educator, leader out" OF such
mental qualities and aptitudes as those
who follow It possess. In all this. we
have said nothing OF the value of the
photographs that are obtained: they
may be regarded. In this aspect Of the
case, as by-product. but by-product
that can hardly have no value at all.
and may often be as important as. or
even more so than, the other advan-
tages conferred by the hobby. II par
ents realized what an admirable men,
tai and manual training photography
could be made, we believe 1t would
soon become almost universal.

Old Problems Revived.

1t has been said that the backbone
OF nation Is its middle class. Frank
Frost Abbott, professor OF Latin Ian
guage and literature at Princeton uni
versity, seems to go on this assump-
tion in his '1The Common People OF
Ancient Rome" For instead OF trac-
ing the progress of few leading fig.
ures in his history he seeks to put be-
fore his readers the every day life
OF the ordinary citizens of the Roman
empire. Some OF his subjects for dis
cussion are as modern as "The High
Cost of Living" He shows that there
is a striking similarity between many
of the problems of the people of Rome
and of this country today.

bundle of lighted straw. tried to SET
fire to the boarding which provision

crowd would have been roasted to
death. as the church has only one door
which would have been blocked In
the resulting panic and stampede.

Child Gave Life for sister.

Louis Brown, a motherless boy OF
six years, lost his life in a recent fire
at New York, because he stayed by
the side OF his four-year-old sister
Helen, and shielded her from the
lie smoke and flames. A fireman
aearching through the burning build
ing found the two children uncon.

wrapped his jacket about the little

tucked her head down on his breast
and locked arms about his waist. Hell

The cabman and the Bishop.

1t is not often that cabman has
any chance Of influencing ecclesiastical
appointments, but Or. Browne points
to such an occasion. When he was
Bishop of Stepney he was once dis
missing a hanson at Amen Court
when the driver said; That's an un-
common nice young man you've sent
to take charge of the church In -
square. II ever you have the chance
to put him in bigger job he'll do 1t
well" A little later the Bishop did
find and did use an opportunity to put
the clergyman into better job, and
the cabman's words were justified, for
he did it very well indeed. Moreover,
DR.. Browne has been known to re-
mark. "There is no doubt what the
cabman said did really influence me.

Fresh From The acnmh. y

The late Dr. Norman Macleod was
enjoying trip among the Western
Isles With some friends. clerical and

morning this gentleman had been late

with indications Of hasty toilet up

ing about larger degree Of intensified
farming with all lands that have until
now been only scratched.
Between the Allegheny mountains
on the east and the Rockys on the west
are the great agricultural lands OF the
world. For two TO three generations
these lands have been titled, with the
exception OF the southwest. which has
only been scratched in the valleys and
on the richest ridges. The largest
acreage of really good lands that may
be bought cheap are in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma has in round numbers
/ forty-five million acres. of which about
one third are titled. 1t would be an
easy matter to double the number Of
acres tillable, and by applying the
modern methods OF tillage to again
double th- amount raised per acre. In
other words instead of supporting
little less than two million inhabitants
and having surplus to sell, We could
easily support seven to ten millions
of people within this young state.
The surprise that confronts the far
mer that comes to Oklahoma from
Iowa, Illinois. Indiana or Ohio is the
great variety of crops that may be
produced in this state There one good
crop, with possibly half crop Of
one or two other cereals, is the limit
Here cotton and corn grow side by
side apparently vieing with each other
as to which is the greatest success.
IN the worst season in the history of
the state, Oklahoma has just mar
keted a million and sixty thousand
bales of cotton, and the crop is not all
sold. This crop, Notwithstanding the
low price, brought the Oklahoma far
mers fifty millions of dollars. Then
we grow wheat kafir corn, milo-maize,
oats, broom corn. potatoes, and all
sorts of vegetables and fruit, not to
mention the most profitable crop in
America-alfalfa.
There are hundreds and thousands
OF examples in Oklahoma where al
falfa last year produced more cash
returns per acre than the first cost /,
of the land upon which it grew Twen-
ty miles west of Oklahoma City in
Canadian valley is a patch of alfalfa
of nineteen acres that netted the own !
er $50 per acre for three hay crops I
and $130 per acre for two seed crops !
making. a total of $3.50 per acre last !
year II was common thing in spite |!
of the drouth for an alfalfa field to
produce $50, SIS and 500 per acre.
Oklahoma offers the greatest oppor-
tunity in the country to make money
through her alfalfa fields There are
thousands of opportunities to buy
lands just as good as this for $50, $50
and SIS an acre, and after seeding it
to alfalfa, cut enough from the first
years crop to pay for the land.
No state in the union has better
climate and few have one half as good.
We have enough frost to make one
feel like hustling, and yet escape the
rigors of such weather as they have
had this winter all over the north. ,
Summers are hot in the middle of the
day and this heat contributes to the
luxuriant growth of all vegetation,
The evenings and nights are delight

sea Takes Toll Of English Land.

With noise like the booming OF
heavy guns. hundreds of thousands OF
tons of cliff fell into the sea between
Dover and Folkestone (England) re-
Gently. The fall, which occurred at
Abbots Cliff, was the most extensive
which has taken place on that part Of
the coast for many years. An examina-
tion showed the chalk extending like
a causeway some 400 yards to the sea.
1t was about 200 yards wide and at
some places 30 feet deep. The dis
placement of water caused by this
immense mass entering the sea set up
conditions similar to a tidal wave at
Folkestone. The water rose several
feet, colliers broke their cables and
got adrift, and fishing-smacks danced
like corks. The noise of the approach
Ing wave was heard mile away.
