can an exceptional stellar event near B. C.
with which it may be identified.
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-
limnary calculations to prove his case. The con-
junction occurred in the sign Pisces, from time
immemorial identified with the destin1es OF
Israel. j. conjunction in that sign always signi-
fed the rising of some mighty master OF the
Jewish race. Such conjunction of Jupiter and
Saturn occurs once In about 800 years 1t was,
therefore, sufficiently extraordinary in Keplers
eyes to herald the birth of Messiah
Not until 1926 was Keplers suggestion seri-
ously considered by astronomers. In that year
Professor Ideler of Berlin, computed the posi-
lions of Jupiter and Saturn and proved that they
were actually in conjunction In B. G. His cal
culations showed that they at no time over
Tapped to form single star but that they were
separated by distance equal to the apparent
diameter of the moon. Accordingly Ideler had
the temerity to suppose that the wise men saw
the two planets as enc star because they were
mraculously near-sighted. In. justice to Ideler,
it must be stated that he abandoned his theory
when Encke, in 1884, repeated the calculations
and found that the actual distance between Jupf-
ter and Saturn when nearest each other in B. G.
Z, was more than the apparent diameter OF the
moon.
Apart from the fact that Jupiter and Saturn
were never sufficiently near each other to be
seen as one body two planets in conjunction
can hardly be called star. Nor is it likely that
experienced Chaldean astrologers would so re-
gard It. Moreover. there we're other planetary
conjunctions at about the same time. Professor
StockweH has demonstrated that conjunction
OF Venus and Mars occurred on May 9Th. B. C.

For many years the idea of intec-
ton in disease has gradually merged
into contagion The International
Congress of Hygiene, which held us.
sessions in Washington. would seem
to have definitely settled that as
ease conveyance is always by con-
tagion and not infection. 1t is contact,
either direct or indirect, with patient
suffering from a particular disease
that causes the occurrence OF that
disease in a second patient. Mucn
used to be said of infected places
says the New York Herald. Swamps,
low ground or marshy surroundings
were thought to be the cause or DIS:
ease. The night air had a bad repu-
tation as a fomenter of illness OF va
rious kinds Now we know that IL Is
the mosquito which directly carries
various diseases and acts as an inter-
mediate host between one human VIC
tim and another. In the same way
other carriers OF disease have been
found. Flies, feas, ticks, rats and
various forms of parasites are respon-
sible for disease distribution. Even
among human beings certain individu-
ais prove to be carriers" of infectious
material. They may be insuscept1ble
themselves or have acquired lmmu-
nifty from the disease, yet can convey
it to others. Always when a COM
municable disease occurs it can be
traced to a preceding case with which
there has been contact either directly
or indirectly.

Of or
of nestilence and war To a poetic eastern peo-
nIa who revered the stars symbols especially
set in the heavens for the guidance of men,
comets were undoubtedly awesome visitors. Inc
Chaldeans Persians and Jews were astronomlc-
ally no more enlightened than the med1aeval
Christians and if at the fall of Constant1nople
in 1853 all Christendom was alarmed at the ap-
pearance of a comet Ga comet which we now
know to have been Halley's), it is highly prob
able that the Orient no less impressed by
these sudden visitatons Comprising, as it does,
a nucleus a coma" or envelope surrounding the
nucleus and measuring from twenty thousand
to one 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
or not the Star OF Bethlehem really such
apparition no one can affirm with certainty. An
astronomer can merely state that the idea is not
untenabe and that it is less Objectionable than
the conjunction hypothesis.
Lastly, the theory has been proposed that the
Star of Bethlehem was what is called new
star or nova" star which suddenly flares up
in the heavens and fades away again to its
former magnitude after the lapse Of weeks or
months Such new stars not altogether rare.
Ten appeared between B. C. 134 and the end OF
the fifteenth century. Since the fifteenth CEN
fury no less than sixteen have been recorded.
In our own time they are discovered with fair
frequency.
Even before the invention Of the telescope
such new stars were studied by astronomers
Apart from the astronomical evidence In favor
of the theory that the Star Of Bethlehem was a
nova, POLITICALLY at least, it singularly fit
ting that a matchless orb blazing forth in sud-
den magnifcence should have marked not only
the birth OF Messiah whose destiny it was to
save mankind by his suffering and to make
this new world by purging it of evil but also

day was Chaldea, Persia, and that Arabian des-
ert where the of Ishmael roamed. In that
east of which they spoke, star-gazing was to
some nations a religious observation, to others a
mystical traditional rite The pseudo-science of
astrology out of which modern science OF
astronomy slowly evolved was thus engen-
dered. Exegetes of the New Testament nara
tive hold these Magi to have been astrologers,
members of that strange, non-national, priv;r
legged priesthood whose Office it was to watGn
the sky each day and each night, to note the
position and apparent motion Of the sun from
dawn to dark and to predict those changes in
planetary positions which in that day of
trologcal superstition, we're supposed to shape
and reveal the destinies of kings and nations.
In them science came an early worshipper at
the feet of Christ.
To ancient as well as medieval astrologers.
certain groupings of the stars and planets had
a fixed prophetic significance. The planets
were named in accordance with their supposed
influence. Mercury always lurking the
sun, furtively cleaning IN the morning or eve
ming, the patron of tFtcksters, knavss, and
thieves. Mars. flaming in red, was the symbol
of war the guardian of heroes and warriors.
If the Magi we're astrologers who believed In
stellar influences, the apparition of the Star
of Bethlehem must have been an astronomical
phenomenon. But no ordinary astronomical
phenomenon could have enticed these practiced
star-gazers from their temples. We must there
fore find some celestial event sufficiently extra
ordinary to warrant a journey from Cnaldea OF

When they were questioned where the king was
to be born they answered: In Bethlehem OF
Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet, Ano
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 II
is then stated in the New Testament tnat
"Herod when he had privfly called the wise men,
inquired OF them diligently what time the star
appeared. Aad he sent them to Bethlehem, ana
said Go and search diligently for the young
child; and when we have found him, bring me
word again, that may come and worship MIN
also. When they had heard the king, they de-
parted; and To- the STAR which they saw IN the
east went before them, till it came and STOOD
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 BethIe-
hem as it is simply and directly told IN the Sec
ond chapter of the gospel according to st. Mat
thew.
1t was cloister fancy of the dark ages, hand
ed down through centuries, that led the Chris

miraculous luminary, akin to the pillar OF IRE

fessor StockweIl advances the suppo-
sition that this conjunction was the
Star of Bethlehem. Since con1unc-
lions occurred SO frequently, it Is
difficult to understand why more or
them did not call forth Chaldean or
Persian Populations.
Because of these fatal objections
to any theory which regarded the
Star of Bethlehem merely as con-
junction of two planets, the late
Prof R. A. Proctor cast about for
other celestial phenomena and final
w decided that the wise men might
have been guided by comet. There
is much to be said in favor of the
supposition. Comets are discovered
nowadays at the rate Of two or three
a wear. Not all of them are particu-
larly brilliant; but it is not incon-
ceiyable that in Biblical times COM
cts occasionally appeared that were
brilliant enough to strike terror into
superstitious hearts. Indeed, before
Edmund HALEY proved that the law

of seventy-one and one-half to sew
enty-nine years, comets were regard

BUFFALO SUPERVISORS
SEEK TO GUST HAlL0WEll

KEARNEY. Neh.. April S-(speclA Tel.
egram)-In the district court a petition
was filed by the Buffalo County Board OF
Supervisors asking that the office OF
county Judge be declared vacant and that
the costs Of the suit be paid by the pres
ent incumbent. Judge F. NJ. Haliowell,
who is serving his third term In that
office.
As causes for the allegations the Judge
is charged with having collected Illegal
fees in the amount OF sSS255 In a period
OF years beginning with the first over
charge, January s, 1905 and ending Janu-
airy 4. 1872. Another charge alleged COM
mitted is that Of collecting fees in cases
pending In his own court for which he
refused TO account TO the county.
Under the second charge at least sSS.S
is averred TO have been collected. A
third charge is prsotlelng as an attorney
and drawing up papers In cases covering
estates tina: came before his own court.
Hearing will probably come up before
the upper court at the May term.
