Our worlds Journey in space is a
long one, II we are to accept the con-
illusions Of DIR. Turner Of the univer.
sity observatory OF Oxford and Prof.
H. o. Plummer, royal astronomer Of
Ireland. Recent astronomical work
suggests that tho sun and it's planets
form a single unit In a vast system,
the stars In which. though separated
by enormous distances, have a COM
mon center of gravity, and In response
to grayitation all move In unison like
n stupendous machine. The paths of
these stars, instead OF being nearly
circular, like those of the planets
around the sun, are much like the o.
citations OF a pendulum. The calcula-
lions show that on his elongated
courso our sun must travel 400, 600, 900
years before completing a revolution,
and that II passed ear the center less
than a million-perhaps not more than

Brief But Neat,

During the Journey OF a royal train
from Balmoral to Windsor the ordi-
nary passenger traffic was very much
disorganized, and express trains were
suddenly drawn up" to the no small
annoyance Of commercial men and
others, who could truly say that with
them time was money" An express
train between Perth and Aberdeen waH
a great sufferer In this respect. and a
certain commercial traveller was quite
boisterous In his denunciation Of The
frequent stops. At last when he had
tired his fellow-passengers with his
grumbling, he Topped down the win
dow and shouted: Guard! I gay.

Are You Left-Handed7

Why don't you make more use Of
your left hand?
1t has been estimated that 81 per
cent. OF the English.Bpeaking people
are right-handed when they grow up.
Seventeen out OF every hundred are
born right-handed, but the remaining
80 are born without any inclination to
use one hand more than the other.
and, therefore, become right-handed
owing to influences brought to bear
on them during their childhood days.
1t ia impossible to calculate how
nue. men lose by ~neglecting their left
hands. Formerly-in primitive times,
that Ia to say-everyone was ambi-
dextrous, and the sooner people be-
come ambidextrous again the better.
In Japan, for many years, soldiers
and schoolboys have been taught to
use both hands. And this wise ex-
ample Is now being followed in Ger
many.

The so-called senile changes are

1T Is nothing short of absurd to say
that a man becomes old. or senile, or
incapable OF further development or

Solomon and the Forests,

One Of the most remarkable illustrs-
tons In all history Of the i'll effects Of
the disappearance OF forests may be
served in Palestine. says the Christian
Herald. In the days when Joshua
conquered the promised land Palestine
was a wonderfully fertile country, Q
land flowing with milk and honey. The
Lebanon mountains were heavily
wooded, and a large population was
supported In comfort. The general
devastation Of the forests brought
about, however, q gradual d~eteriorae
ton OF the country. The hills OF Gall.
lee, which had long served aB pasture
lands for large herds OF cattle and
sheep, are now sterile. The Jordan
has become IN insignificant stream,
and several smaller rivers are hw
completely dried up throughout the
greater part OF the year. Some few
valleys in which fertile earth washed
down from the hills has been depos-
tied have retained their old fertility.
The land today supports only one
sixth the population Of the time Of

The President and War.

According to the constitution Of the
United States. article 1. section 8,
clause II, the power to declare war be-
longs to the congress. The president.
as the chief executive. when war is
declared becomes commander in chief
of the army and navy, but he cannot
take the initiative in bringing on the
war. The president who should have
the temerity to declare the country at
war with another people would be in
simultaneously removed from his high
office. The men who made the consti-
tuition upon which our government
rests knew how fatal to human rights
and happiness the monarchical prin-
ciple had been. and therefore they saw
to it that the nations head should have
nothing to do with declaring war with
another nation.-New York American.

Iron That Does Not Rust.

Of oxidation goes on. and every so
often the metal bulls have to be treat
ed with anti-corrosives. The same ST.
lent process of decay is going on in
the metal work Of bridges. Of railway
and trolley lines. The inventor who
can find preventive against rust will
save the world almost incalculable
wealth. And the curious thing is that
once upon a time the world knew of
such preventive. There is still to be
seen at Delhi, the new Indian capital,
an iron monument. which. no matter
what the weather may be, never shows
signs Of rust. Scientists look that piece
of iron over. but it keeps its secret
well. Yet If the old Hindu metal
lurgists could do as much, why not
the metallurgists Of today?-Rochester

Caesar Cui was professor of fortifca-

Petersburg and is today lieutenant gen.
eral of Russian engineers: Borodine
was physician; Rimsky- Korsakov
was an officer in the Russian navy:
Balaieff was a timber merchant; Nous
sorgsky was soldier. being an Of.

ments, and Sokalsky was in the diplo-
matte service. being stationed for sew
eral years in New York and afterward
