long ago, he was spending a week end
at country home. The first night that
he arrived q dinner party was given.
Feeling very enthusiastic over the re-
cent flights, he began to tell the young
woman who was his partner at the ia
BILE of some Of the details Of the avia-
ton sport. 1t was not until the dessert
was brought that he realized that he
had been doing all the talking; indeed,
the young woman had not uttered a
single word. 81 am afraid I have been
boring you with this shop talk" he
said, feeling as If he should apologize
"Oh, not at ALL" she murmured, in very
polite tones: "but would you mind tell
ing me, what is aviation?"

saw the negro coming up the street
in his wagon which was driven by
one of his negro employees. The negro
Allen when he saw me drew his re-

Satellites Of Saturn.

Photometric studies Of six of the
principal satellites of Saturn. made by
Guthnick of the royal observatory Of
Berlin. indicate a confirmation of the
previous conclusions Of other observ-
ers that several. and perhaps all. of
these satellites behave like our own
moon in keeping always the same side
toward the planet around which they
revolve. In regard to the satellite
named Tethys. an interesting hypothe-
sis is offered to account for its very
marked changes of luminosity. The
theory is that Tethys possesses the
form of a long ellipsoid. the two prin-
cipal axes of which are to one another
the ratio Of five to two. A similar
suggestion has been made concerning
the shape of the asteroid Eros, which
likewise exhibits great variations of
light, according to its position in its
orbit around the sun.-Harper's.
