FAR DISTANT URANUS.
Oddities a Visit to This Gigantic
Planet Would Disclose.

Oddities a Visit to This Gigantic
Planet Would Disclose.
If Uranus. which is star Of about
the sixth magnitude. we're planet
like those little ones called asteroids.
which are being discovered by the
dozen every year. 1t could not have
much claim upon. popular attention.
but Uranus Is really gigantic world.
more than sixty times as large as ours.
Its vast distance. about 1.10O.0OO.OOO
miles from the earth. Is what causes
1t to look 80 small.
Uranus has four moons. which re-
volye backward in their OrhitS-that is
to say. they revolve from east to west
around Uranus. while Uranus goes.
like all the other planets. from west to
east around the sun. 1t Is believed
that Uranus rotates backward on its
axis also. Moreover, the axis OF that
great, strange globe lies In such di-
rection that in the course OF tts year,
which is equal to eighty four OF our
years, the sun shines almost perpen-
dicularly first upon one pole and then
upon the other.
Measured by our time standard.
there are forty years of constant day.
light. followed by forty years Of un-
broken night. around the poles OF
Uranus. and the sun rises in the west
and sets in the east there. but the sun
looks very small when viewed from
Uranus-only one four-hundredth as
large as it appears to us. Still 1t sheds
upon that planet 1900 times aR much
light as the full moon sends to the
earth. SO that daylight upon Uranus,
while faint compared with the blaze or
a terrestrial MONDAY. is nevertheless
very respectable kind OF illumina'
ton.

BUSY CELL. ToILERS.
The Marvellous Work They Constantly
Perform In the Blood.

The blood cells are important men,
bers of the cell community and are ex-
ceedingly numerous. there being over
x. 1000. 100000 of the red blood cells
alone. These red blood cells move In
the blood currents. carrying through
the arteries each its little load or OK
ygen, which 1t transports TO the dis
tant tissues that they may be lnvig'
GRATED and vitaliZed anew, ana. re-
turning, carrying through the veins the
debris and waste products Of the sys-
TEN to the great crematory or the
lungs, where the waste is burned ana
thrown Off from the body.
Like the ships that sail the sea, each
cell carries its outgoing cargo and re-
turns with another one. Some OF these
cells perform the office OF special re-
pairers, forcing their way through the
walls OF the blood vessels and pene-
trating the tissues in order to perform
their special tasks.
There are several other kinds or cells
in the blood besides the carriers Just
mentioned. There are the wonderful
soldier and police cells. which maintain
order and fight battles when necessary.
The police cells are on the constant
lookout for germs. bacteria and other
microscopic disturbers Of the peace OF
the body.
When these tiny policemen discover
vagrant germs or criminal bacteria
they rush upon the intruder and. ty-
ing him up in a mesh, proceed to de-
YOUR him. If the intruder be too large
or vigorous a call for assistance Is
sent out, and the reserve police rush
to the assistance of their brothers and
overpower the disturber of the peace.
Sometimes when the vagrants are too
numerous the policemen throw them
out from the body by means OF PIN
pies. hollis and similar eruptions. In
case of infectious diseases an army
corps is ordered out in full strength.
and royal fight is waged between the
invading army and the defenders OF
home and country.-William Walker
Atkinson in Nautilus.

MAGIC WATER TOYS.
Wonderful Play Toys That Amuso the
Children Of tho Orient.

Wonuerful Piay Toys lnat AHuSo uS
Children of tho Orient.
Europe and America turn out for the
ediication Of their children many in
genious toys, but the occidental young
sters have nothing TO compare with the
strange expanding water toys with
which the children Of the far east
have for centuries amused themselves.
These are placed in small wooden
boxes similar to the little paint boxes
so often seen in our own country. They
have the appearance of soiled shavings,
broken matches and dilapidated tooth
picks. but when thrown into the water
the ingenious toys at once exhibit prop
critics that show them to be cOnsidera-
bly, more than mere bits Of stick.
The wood Of these toys has been kiln
dried. and Immediately 1t touches the
water II begins to absorb the water
and to expand almost indefinitely. AS

bush in full bloom. Another becomes
an obese mandarin carrying an um'
brella. Still another will take the form
of sea serpent. very ferocious in Its
tiny dimensions.
Then. too. there are toys which show
as whales. tigers. crocodiles, etc. The
figures are colored and present be-
wildering variety in design and treat
ment Their manufacture is a trade
secret. kept inviolate by the guild that
turns them out by the thousands.

WOLGAST- -MAND0T
FIGHT TO DRAW

Pelican Arena, New Orleans La.
Nov. 5.-Lightweight Champion Ad
Wolgast and Joe Mandot of New Or
leans, divided honors in a ten-round
no-decision bout here last night Both
took a lot of punishment but at the
end of the fight neither had the ad-
vantage according to a decision Of
newspapermen.
Although Mandot is accredited with
having the better of four of the ten
rounds, Wolgast with one. while the
other rounds were even, the cham
pion's infighting and aggressiveness
won for him the unofficial draw de-
cision.
Wolgast lost no time early in the
fight feeling out his opponent but
went at him hammer and tongs. He
tried for knockout in the first round.
Mandot stopped the rushes and soon
began fighting the champion in his
own way. Wolgast clearly had the
advantage in the infighting. Mandot
at times appearing utterly unable to
fathom the champions machine-like
jabs when close quarters.
Mandot played for the face and
had Wolgast's nose bleeding early in
the fight WOlgast resorted princi-
pally to body blows.
The attendance was about 1900 and
the receipts $4,000.
