When the British Retreatsd.

One of the speakers before the ban quet of the Massachusetts society of the Sons of the American Revolution told of an experiment which he made several years ago He first consulted historical records and ascertained the exact time of day that the British left for Lexington. He then started to go over the same ground. From fast walk he soon found 1t necessary to break into a run and then sprint. Then he found himself getting so far behind time that he had to take troll ley car. He left Lexington at the time of day that the British left, and, al- though they are said to have reached Charlestown at o'clock in the even ing. he did not get there until after 7:30, thus proving that the British beat the time of the modern trolley cars.-- Boston Traveller.

The Pslioan and It. Pouch.

Among the curioslties of nature must be reckoned the pouch of the pelican, which serves equally well as n net with which to scoop up fish and as a bag to convey food to its young. When not in use the bird can contract its pouch so that it is barely discernible, but when it is fully distended 1t will hold two gallons of water. When the pelican is hunting for food it flies slow ly about twenty feet above the sur face of the water, scanning its depths for any sign of it's prey. As soon as a fish is seen there is a sudden folding of pair of wings, a downward plunge with the speed of an arrow head first into the sea, the unerring marksman reappearing in a moment and floating on the waves long enough to reveal a glimpse of fish gliding down its ca pacious gullet and to shake the water from its disheveled plumage.

Better Than Gold.

Gold is generally looked on as the last word in costliness, but, as a mat ter of fact, there are more metals dear CT than gold than there are cheaper. The number of known metals is above seventy. Iridium, for instance, is three times as expensive as gold. Os- mium is another metal much dearer than gold. It is by far the heaviest of all known substances, being more than twenty-two times as heavy as water. This metal has the peculiar property of being able to stand without melting the most intense heat known. Pailadi- um, which Is twice as costly as gold, is just the reverse. 1t is quite easy to make palladium vanish in steam. Be ing of a white, silvery color and un- tarnishable, 1t Is used for the division marks on scales and delicate scientific nstruments.-London Answers.

Measuring How Fast and Far They 0e
 WhirIins Through Space
 Away out in space millions of miles distant is a star To the eye 1t re- mains, year in. year out, dxed point of light Even through the telescope it does not appear to move. so slight Is its orbit compared with the enormous distance that separates 1t from us.
 Yet it is whirling through space as as we do ours. How do the astron- omers learn this? Through the spec troscope.
 Every one is familiar with the fact that when a whistling locomotive is ap- preaching the pitch of the whistle rises and as the engine recedes it falls. This is because the sound waves are crowded together by the onrushing en- zine and shortened as it approaches and are drawn out longer as it goes the other way.
 The same thing happens to the light of an ourushing star. The eye cannot detect 1t. but the spectroscope does.
 The astronomer allows the light of the star to come through a slit and be broken up by the instrument He se- lects single line of the spectrum of rhe star. chooses guide line beside it and watches 1t
 If the star is approaching the light waves will be shortened and the light will become slightly nearer the violet If 1t Is receding the waves will be longer and the light will approach the red
 Red Is low pitch in light and blue is high pitch. As the star swings about the curve at this end of Its orbit the light gradually returns to normal. be- cause the star. while moving just as fast Is not approaching us as much As the star turns back the line goes the other side of the normal
 By continued observation the astron- omer finds how fast and how far the star goes each way and how often it does SO In the case of some starr he discovers that what appears to be one star is really two, which Is shown by the fact that a line will divide into two and one part move up and the oth- CT down the spectrum at the same time. Such stars are known as spec troscopic d6ubles.- New York Sun

sIBERIA's HINGED BREAD.
Makes Good Soup After Being ussd In
 Game of Quoits.


 No homemade bread in the world can vie either in indigestibility or useful ness with the small ringed bread of Si- beria. probably the most extraordinary bread In the whole world
 When the Russian engineering par ties were constructing the Siberian railroad this white ringed bread was their chief food As it's name implies. it is made in the shape of a ring. It is cooked without salt or yeast and is first steamed and then lightly baked to expel the moisture. It is eaten and used in wonderful variety Of ways During the intensely cold winter months it is soaked in hot tallow for few moments and then eaten with soup or dipped in tea and swallowed This tallow bread Is considered to be one of the most heat producing foods in existence.
 A curious use to which it is put Is as lamp or stove. Half dozen or eight holes are bored In the ''tallow ring bread" and wax vestas are placed in them and lighted This bread stove will burn slowly for about an hour. giving out sufficient heat to boil the necessary water for tea or coffee for half dozen people
 During the day. when time hangs heavily. the Siberian peasants play quoits with their ringed bread the same breads appearing in the soup at the evening meal.-Pearson's Weekly.

Local baseball men are getting

more will have to be returned.
About thirty cards were received
yesterday, all of them being for gen

was received from a we'll known bust
ness man, who has been a red-hot sup
porter of the game and former di-
rector. Every one who has RESPONDED
has bettered his subscription of last

for the retention of the game here,

that there was yet big amount to

The demand, by President Justice,
for definite answer in regard to the
situation, has awakened the latent
spirit of the fans to an extent, ac-

that they will hurry to mail their

1t is expected that the first mail
Monday morning will show conclu-

that it will be favorable to the re
