w ASHINGTON.-The boundaries of
 W the universe have been discov- cred, according to a report received at the National Observatory from Prof. R. T. A. Innes, director of the Union Observatory at Johannes burg, South Africa. The announcement is regarded with interest by astronom- CTS all over the world
 The universe, Prof. Innes asserts, is contained within the space girdled by the Milky Way, and he figures that ths@most distant star in that wonder fu girdle Is $40 light years distant from the earth. Inasmuch as the planetary system, of which the earth is member. is commonly supposed by astronomers to be close to the cen ters of the arena embraced within the Milky Way, and inasmuch as light travels 18G,000 miles a second. or over five and three-quarters quadril- lion miles year, the diameter of the universe, by Prof. Innes's calculation Is 6,334,951 100000 miles. This is the distance light would travel in 1,08O years. A ray of light takes sixteen minutes and thirty-six seconds to traverse the diameter of the earth's orbit.

Gi|ded Horse on Weather vane Not Yet Extinct

mates below have gone and that a machine creaks and snorts where they lived.
 If you are walking along G street between 9th and 7th and will look to- ward the northern sky you may see high up, always heading into the wind, another gilded horse with flowing mane and uplifted tail, and probably distended nostrils, though his position is too far up in the air to determine that point without field glasses.
 He Is trotting on a gilt horizontal bar and seems to be striking at least a 220 gait. He is well extended. He seems to be about to win. No other horse is near him. He wears no har. ness. No sulky or driver is behind him.
 He is a bold. proud-looking horse and it is refreshing for horsemen to look up and see one of their four footed friends who has not the de- Jected mien which so many horses in the streets wear. It is a pleasure to them to contemplate this horse. even if he is gilt horse

HE gilded horse that once trotted. ! galloped, pranced and dazzled on the weather vanes above many of the stables of Washington has become rare, but he is not extinct. He may be tarnished. but he still holds up his head and tail He is not so forlorn looking as most of his brother and sis ter horses in the streets. The writer early in the spring wrote an honorable mention of gilt horse on a weather vane on stable converted into garage on Columbia road near 18th street. That horse is still there and he still seems unconscious that his neighing, nickering and champing

Popcorn Can Be Proftab|y Raised on the Farm

TT HIRTY dollars worth of popped ! corn in the form of 5-cent packages for the market represents an outlay of only about $1 or $1.50 for raw ma ter1al, according to a farmers bulletin (No. 553) just issued by the depart ment of agriculture, entitled Popcorn for the Home" Sufficient popcorn to make $30 worth of 5-cent packages can be grown on a piece of land 40 feet long and 20 feet wide.
 The specialists in corn investiga. tions who write this bulletin say that popcorn has considerable value as food and when properly prepared for the table 1t Is superior to many of the breakfast foods now on the mar ket.
 If 1t Is desired to grow popcorn as . field crop, the surplus stock not wanted for home use can usually be sold to local merchants at fair price, or 1t can be profitably sold directly to consumers.
 Dealers who put up popcorn in TO- cent packages for the retail trade us ually have a number of good recipes printed on the outside of the package Some recipes for popcorn confections that have given good results are the following:
 Chocolate Popcorn-Two teacupfuls of white sugar, two ounces of choco- Late. one-half cup of corn sirup one cup of water.

BOARDED THE WRONG SHIP
As Result Young Lady of California Is Bound for Antipodes Against
 Her Will.

Victoria, B. C.-Steaming across the far reaches of the broad Pacific on board the steamship Marama is a lone passenger who up to the time of the big liners departure had not the slightest intention of making the long passage to the Antipodes.
 Just prior to the sailing of the Marama fashionably attired young lady boarded the vessel. which she imagined was the Pacific coast steam CT Umatilla, bound for San Francisco.
 The unwilling passenger was Miss Nellie Stone of Oakland. Cal. who had been visiting at the home of John Evans at Somenos. near Duncans. B. c.

MOUNTAINS VANISH OFF MAP
Brown and Hooker Peaks, on Old Ca. nadian ProfiIes, Cannot Be
 Found.

Winnipeg.-That Mount Brown and Mount Hooker, traditional monarchs of the Canadian rockies, which were supposed to guard Yellow Head Pass, and which were first mentioned 60 years ago by Douglass, a botanist, do not exist has just been proved by Al. fred Mumm and Godfrey Howard, English Alpinists, who have been in. yestigating mountain regions in the neighborhood of Mount Robson and the pass.
 In exploration work spread over sey. eral weeks these mountain climbers have discovered no trace of the mythi- cal mountains. The mountains were reputed to be between 10000 and IT,. eco feet in height While these noun. tains do not appear to exist, Messrs. Mumm and Howard, accompanied by Merits Inderbinen, the former Swiss guide, explored peaks each in the neighborhood of 11,000 feet high in the vicinity of Robson, and which to- gether form one of the most magni. ficent groups of mountain peaks which these experienced mountain climbers have ever seen.
 Photographs have been taken by MT. Mumm of an old blaze on the bark of pine tree in the heart of the Rockies which he thinks may possi- ply be relic of an early pioneer trag- edy. During the dispute between trap. pers of the Northern Fur company and the Hudson Bay company trappers pushed their way through the noun. tains from British Columbia, follow ing the route of Wood river, and even. tuallv arriving in an amphitheater of mountains known as the Commit tees Punchbowl." The men had sui. fered frightful hardships and a consul. tation was held as to whether they would return or go forward.
 Seeing they had arrived at the wa tershed, it was thought their journey was only half over, and some decided to go back. The most of these perish ed, while those who went forward soon struck the easy path through Yellow Tead and were out of the mountains in a week
 The blaze discovered by Messrs Mumm and Howard is thought to have been carved by four of the ill-fated party. Above the date, October 20, 1853, are carved the following initials: J. M., W. C.. H. A. T. and H. S.

Edith Thayer Charmed All.

Edith Thayer and superior company
in "The FREELY" comedy opera col
Iaboration by Otto Hauerbach and ku-
dolf Friml, attracted one OF the largest
audiences of playgoers of the season at
the Barre opera house last evening.
That the piece itself was eminently sat
isfactory was evident at all times by
the applause and the music in itself
made every song an encore. With a
melodious score composed by Friml, IN
eenious lines and lyrics, the work OF
Hauerbach, and the petite little madam
oiselle, Miss Thayer, surrounded by a
cast of exceptionally fine singers, there
was presented a musical combination
the like of which is seen but seldom
in Barre. Miss Thayer possessed
charming voice and her acting was a
rare achievement. Irene Samsel as ST.
zetta." Burt Wheeler, who played the
role of "Pietro," Thelma Fair as Ger
aldine Vandare" We're uneommonly good
and the remainder of the company was
well balanced.
Some of the seintillating musical gems
were Miss Thayer's "Gianina," which
has the haunting melody OF Italian
opera, her love Is Like a FREELY,
sympathy" in which Miss Fair and
Charles H. Bowers were heard in splen-
did voice. Tommy Atkins" which was
one of the spirited ensembles OF the
piece and "When a Maid Comes Knock
ing at Your Heart" by Miss Thayer,
and Messrs. Lenihan and Veron. Al
ways tuneful, the score had pleasing
swing and the audience was quick to
express its appreciation.

not herself such desperate character
as might seem TO be, Judging by the
acts committed by some of her follow

woman ordinarily, but tremendously in
earnest in her work and given to exag-

riding the bounds of decorous action.
Her followers go further and commit

they get beyond the control OF their
leaders, and, whether the latter will or
not, they go out and burn property and
raise disturbances in public places to
gain the public eye and to impress peo-
pie with their grievances. But Mrs.
Pankhurst herself does not impress one
as being of quite that stamp; she seems
several degrees higher in the plane OF
thought. Prhaps the United States may
enjoy her stay after all. There does
not appear to be need for raising great
hue and cry over it, anyway.
