They Are Really Big and
Shining Suns.
SOME HEAVIER THAN OUR SUN
And Twenty Trilli0n Miles
Away-Some Interesting
Computations.
ELECTRICITY USED AS BASIS

In the course of lecture on
"The Stars which Sir Robert Ball,
the distinguished astronomer, de-
livered at the Royal Institution, in
I London, the lecturer said that those
orbs which appear so small to us
because of their immense distance
are in reality, of course, great and
shining suns. If, he said, we were
to escape from the earth into space,
the moon, Jupiter, Saturn and,
eventually the sun, would become
invisible; but, far as we are from
the stars, they would still shine
brightly upon us.
Many of these stars are heavier
than our sun. For example, Nicer,
the middle star in the tail of the
Great Bear, is 40 times as heavy as
our sun. To the naked eye there
are 5000 or 5000 of these heaven
ly bodies visible. In all probability
there are planets-perhaps habita-
BILE worlds like ours-revolving
around them.
Sixty-one Cygni is the nearest
star to us in this part of the sky.
Alpha Centauri, in the constella-
ton Centaur, in the southern hem
isphere, is the nearest of all stars.
The sun is long way off-93.-
900, 900 miles. Now, multiply this
by 100000 and the result is, rough
ly speaking, 2O,OOO,OOO,O 200, 900,
and this is our distance from AL
pha Centauri.
Take the speed of an electric cur
rent which is nearly the same as
that of light-1S0,000 miles per
second. Suppose a message to be
sent this speed from a point on the
earth's surface, it would go seven
times around the earth in one sec
ond.
Again, let it be supposed that
messages were sent off to the differ
ent heavenly bodies. To reach
the moon at this rate it would take
about one Becond. In eight min
utes message would get to the
sun, and allowing for a couple of
minutes delay, one could send a
message to the sun and get an an
swer all within 20 minutes. But to
reach Alpha Centauri it would take
three years; and as this is the near
est of the stars, what time must it
take to get to the others?
If, when Wellington won the bat
tie of Waterloo, in 1915, the news
had been telegraphed off imme-
diately, there are some stars so re-
mote that it would not yet have
reached them. To go step fur
Their, If, in 1865 the result of the
Conquest had been wired to some
of these stars, the message would
still be on it's way. If the tidings
of the first Christmastide in Beth
lehem had been sent to the stars,
there are some orbs, situated in the
furthermost depths of space, yet
not beyond reach of our great tele-
scopes, which could not receive the
message for a long time yet

UNIQUE CAREER
A BRILLIANT ONE
In the Military History of

ern Engagements.
A MAN WHO KNEW NO FEAR

Fifty years ago tonight there
fell MORALLY wounded at Chancel-
louisville one of the great captains
of the English-speaking races. Lee,
who called Stonewall Jackson his
strong right arm, once said that he
would have won Gettysburg If
Jackson had been there. Be that
as it may, the almost uninterrupted
victories of the Army of Northern
Virginia ended when Jackson pass
ed away. Charlottesville marked
the flood-tide of the Confederate ar
mics. Two months later came Get
tysburg and from thence on to APP
pomattox, Lees forces, despite all
their marvellous courage and tenac-
ity, were never again invincible.
Jackson's place in military his
tory is unique. Most great reputa-
tions were made by long years of
service. His career was compress
ed into a scanty 22 months from
that day in July 1861 when Lee
pointed to him standing like a
stone wall" at Bull Run to the ear
" May day in 1868 when he march,
ed his corps around the front of
Hooker's army, smashed in its right
flank and gave the Confederacy its
most brilliant victory, only to fall
Of mo
A terrible partnership was that
between the Cavalier and the Puri-
tan; between Lee who embodied
the chivalry of Virginia, and Jack
son. who was direct spiritual de-
scendant of the men who fought
with Cromwell at Nasty. In all
crises the two men seemed to fight
with a single brain and a single
purpose destitute alike of the jeal-
ousy and intrigue that all but
wrecked the Army of the Potomac.
Jackson presents a strange, APP
pealing figure on the pages of his
tory. He was as gentle and gra-
cious as Lee, as silent and taciturn
as Grant, as daring and audacious
as Stuart or Sheridan, as relentless
as Sherman, and with it all there
was an intensity of religious fervor
that belonged to the 18th century
rather than the 18th. The war to
him was a holy war. He went to
battle with a prayer on his lips,
and he went from battle to give
thanks to God who had crowned
his army with victory
Appealing from his native sod
In formal praises to God,
Lay bare thine arm-stretch forth
thy rod,
Amen" That's Stonewall's way.
Even the bullets that struck him
down he regarded as providentially
directed by a definite Divine pur-
pose. There is no more meaning
less phrase than that of "a born
soldier" but here was a man who
was beyond question a born soldier
IA soldier who hated war, who
was dazzled neither by ambition nor
glory, who fought for principle and
principle alone, and whose military
genius was elemental. Peace to his
ashes. A united nation can be
proud that he was numbered among
her ,sons.-GNew YorkWorld, Maya.

Raspberies. blackberries. strawber-

all made delicious jams when COM

berry rhubarb jam take one part rhu-

only the tender ends Of the rhubarb.
Use a pound OF sugar TO each pound
of fruit. Place the strawberries on
platters and cover with the sugar,
and let stand overnight. In the morn

can be made In the same way. In

Are you and to blame? OF course
we are. II Is only necessary for the

Here, we have had enough Of an edu-

an education that is all books. Give
our children an education that fits
them for life here at home"
This new education that will at peo-

too slowly in the country. Our very

of the country and into the city. The
cities do not need this fine new blood;
the country does.

certainty that he will succeed. He
lacks the technical part Of farm work
that comes through daily contact with

which the country boy has had since
the day he first began to notice things.

More Suffragette Destrcntion

Since the seizure Of the London

gettes by the British Government and
the suppression OF their organ and
the imprisonment OF their leaders.
q number of acts OF violence have
been committed by the members Of
the Womens Social and Political
Union, or at least acts credited to
them. On the Sd extensive train
sheds belonging to the Midland Rail-
road, containing much freight, were
burned at a loss of $500, 900. On the
same day one OF the schools of Aber-
deem. Scotland. was partly burned.
Both Of these acts were charged to
suffragettes. George Lansbury, form
er Socialist member of Parliament,
was seEt to Jail for three months be-
cause of his active connection with
the militant women.
Mrs. Belmont. in a Paris inter-

militant headquarters in London were
raided, and that there was no excite
ment, for the raid had been expect
