STAR OF BETHLEHEM AC0ME7
American Woman In London Reviyes
Theory That Magi Followed a
Wanderer.

London.-A theory of what tie Star
OF Bethlehem really was, was ad-
vanced by Mrs. John Hardness (Belle
Harpster Hartness), a prominent mem
Der Of the American circle in Lon
don and representative at large Of the
League of American Pen Women at
Washington, at a lecture delivered by
her recently at the University of Lon
don.
Taking the scriptural narrative as
substantially correct, Mrs. Hardness
dealt with the theories already put
forward, and showed they all fell
short of the facts as recorded. Basing
her theory on the story Of st. Andrew,
Mrs. Hartness showed that the Magi
had been expecting a star to appear,
that this particular star followed a
prescribed course, that it shone for a
long time, the lecturer argued that
1t must have been a comet which the
wise men of the east saw and fol-
lowed.
A comet is the only celestial body
which fulflls every particular as re.
corded. When this theory was sub
mitted to Professor Bickerton, a we'll.
known New Zealand astronomer, he
said that If his own theory of a new
star were disproved he would accept
the theory of a comet.

Hand Painted Crab Surrenders in Jamaica Bay

caused a sr.all sensation, and all the
fishermen on the pier put down their
rods to have a look at the monster,
This crab was not only larger than
anv other ever taken at this point
hut in ether ways it is said to be the
most marvellous, for on the back or us
shell it had a mans face, done IN
water colors. The face had been
painted by an artist of no mean aoll,
ity and it depicted a man who mao
looked long upon the cup that nee
The eyes we're half closed and the
nose was very red. The entire smell
was taken up with the features OF a
Broadway "rounder."
Mr.. Leahy, who is a member OF one
of the fishing clubs of the beach n
is fond of his little joke, is accused OF
having had the crab decorated in ad'
vance and to have hooked it on his
line when no one was looking, but this
he stoutly denies.
Old fishermen say the crab is at
least one hundred years old, but the
best experts pronounce the painting
to be of recent origin. Whatever the
antecedents of the crab may be or Its
previous condition Of s%ervitude, there
are at least half a hundred witnesses
to declare that 1t was pulled from the
bay by Mr.. Leahy.

Spriqhtly Bold Thief Dares Her to Chase Him

OVERHEAD, L. 1.-The meanest
~ THIEF in the world is at large some
where on Long Island.
One day recently he looked into the
fruit store of Samuel Gordon. on Main
street in Patchogue. Nothing much
is ever doing in Patchogue and this
was a particularly dull day. Nobody
was visible in the store. But subse-
quent developments indicate that this
pesky marauder made a careful recon
~noissance nevertheless.
He entered in a bold and sprightly
amer and, without hesitation or
haste, opened the cash drawer and
jauntily inspected it's contents. He
did not seem In the least surprised
when a head appeared above the top
of a big screen in the real of the store
and q startled feminine voice gasped:
well, of all things!" In fact, he
merely looked up and grinned and
calmly proceeded to transfer all the
cash in the dra ar to his pockets.
But presently the same feminine
voice, proceeding from the aforesaid
visage above the screen, shrieked:
Help! Police!" Even this did not
seem to disturb him. And when it
was followed by stop, thief" as he
reached the door, he merely turned

HISTORIC OLD TOWN
AIkmaar, Holland, Has Many H.
terestiny Features.
Quaint Dutch City Of 10000 Is Typical
of the country-seene Of Resist.
ance to Spanish Siege
Of 1873.

Alkmaar, Holland.-The town itself
,s one that must abide in the msmory
of everyone who sees 1t for the first
time. It's most important church is
the Groote Kerk of St.. Lawrence,
witch contains among other things
the ancient tomb Of Floris ", Count
Of Holland, who died in 1896. The tow
er of the Stadhuis dates from 1907.
It contains a library and a municipal
museum, furnished with several not
able pictures. But the old Weigh
house, after all, remains to US the
most interesting of the buildings in
the town. Not least of its charms is
the prospect from the top. From it
our artist was able to secure a very
striking picture of the view as seen
from that eminent position. There
could not be anything more typical of
Holland. First of all there is the
canal, the national waterway. winding
sluggishly through the town and divid-
ing it in two. There are the canal
boats, the wagons Of this aqueous
highway, placidly pursuing their jour-
ney or waiting by the wharves to be
laden or unladen. Most Of all there
are the Dutch houses, or rather the
characteristic roofs Of them-the view
that they would present to the stars.
The town is just Of the right size to
be brought within this focus. 1t mum.
kers about 10000 inhabitants, the ma.
jority of whom are connected directly
or indirectly with agriculture. But the
place has its historical records also.
1t appeals to the historian as the
scene of a splendid resistance to the
Spanish siege in 1573-the period of
the Dutch struggle for independence.
The buildings, to which we have al
ready made %allusion, carry us back to
that sixteenth century, which was ia

artistic beauty and sense of proper.
tion brought to bear upon the work of
building. Houses Of this period are
fine all the world over, and not least
in Holland.
The Dutch cheese trade is an old in.
dustry in n way, but its great de-
velopment is modern in character. Till
only a comparatively recent period the
dairy herds in this country were neg
lected. The only requirement ap-
piled to the cow was that she should
give a very large quantity of milk. 1t

that. They have brought science to

LARGE Pickerei Had Swallowed Ro'

Harwich Centre, Mass.-Miss Sarah
D. Robbins caught a large pickerel
and a small baby muskrat with a sin
gle hook. She took a fishing pole and
a few fresh water minnows and went
to a small lake just outside the vii
lage. It was not long before Miss Rob
bins hauled in half a dozen fine pick
erel.
The seventh. however, was the
largest of all. While dressing it and
preparing it for dinner, Miss Robbins
was very much surprised to find inside
the big fish a small muskrat; 1t was
about the size of a mouse. Although
in a stupefied condition, the animal
soc came to life again. Miss Rob
bins turned to inspect the other hsh
she had caught, and while her back
was turned, the muskrat made a bee

and disappeared beneath the surface
