TO TAKE UP DUTIES
Demands of Railroads and
Their Employees Will Be Con-
sidered Monday.

The board of mediation which will act
in the Eastern railroads dispute, will
leave Washington tomorrow for New
York. On Monday it will begin con-
sideration of the demands of the rail-
roads and employees In the threatened
strike situation
Today the members have been in COM
munication with New York, but have
taken no steps to act in their official
capacity.
Louis +. Post, Assistant Secretary Of
Labor, named as one of the members OF
the board, Is found to be ineligible be-
cause the language of the Newlanos
act provides that only an official duly
confirmed by the Senate is open to ap-
pointment. Mr.. Post was appointed to
the Assistant Secretaryship without the
confirmation of the Senate and Is there
fore barred.
At the White House today II was In
dicated that no one else will be named
to the place made vacant by Mr.. Post
inasmuch as the bill does not require
that the place be occupied.
Judge Chambers confirmation as COM
missioner is expected today in the
Senate. Judge Knapp does not have to
be confirmed.

SUN WILL ABSORB WORLD
FToressor Fauth, a British Savant, Thinks New Solar System Will
 Be Created

Berlin.-The whole of the nresent solar system is ultimately to fall into the sun, causing an explosion that may result in z new solar system. Such IS the theory put forward in the Weekly Journal of Natural Science by Prof. Philip Fauth, a well-known as- eronomer, whose reputation has rested principally upon his researches into conditions on the moon.
 The novel feature of Dr. Fauth's the ory is that it is based upon the suppo- sition that great part of the known solar system, including especially the planets Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn, are not composed of mineral matter at all, but are tremendous masses of ice, or balls of ice surrounding min eral kernel. Furthermore, he de- clares, a part of what is now known as the milky way is not mineral or gaseous, but "a ring of ice dust" masses of particles of ice suspended in space, the outer planets receiving constant addition to their ice mass from this source
 Professor Fauth declares that the world already at some remote period has had similar experience, result ing in tho death of nearly all animate nature and that all species of life as we kAow it have arisen since then. Eventually the planets swinging through their narrowing orbits VIII fall into the sun, causing new ex- plosfon and perhaps the birth of a new solar system, but for thousands of years before that time all life, ei- ther on earth or elsewhere, will have disappeared

THREE DELICIOUS PIES
INTENDED FOR THE PRINCIPAL
 COURSE AT DINNER.
Steak and Oyster Combination Is a Famous English Oish-Veal and Ham Also Form Good
 ingredients.

Bump Steak and Oyster Pie-One pound of rump steak, 25 oysters, half blade of mace, one tablespoonful wal nut catsup, a piece of yellow peel of lemon, salt and pepper to taste, cup of gravy and half-pound of paste. Cut the pound of steak in small collops, flour them. Put puff paste, or good light paste around the edge of bak- ing dish, or deep pie dish. Then put in alternate layers of the trump steak and oysters, filling the dish. Season each layer with salt and pepper. Pour in large spoonful of the gravy; cover the top, glaze, make the opening Ill enc center and bake. Put the strained liquor of the oysters in saucepan; add the boards or gills, which should be clipped from the oysters, the bit Of lemon peel, blade of mace, the catsup and remainder of the gravy. The orig lnal recipe calls for a glass of port wine, but that is not essential. When the pie is done, the gravy is made very not and poured into the pie at the opening in the middle.
 Veal and Ham Pie-These are the directions for making Mrs. Bof1in's fa- nous "weal and hammer" that mel tered the organ" of Silas Wegg:
 Take the thick part of the breast of veal, removing all the bones, which are put in for the gravy, stewing them slowly and long time. Put layer of veal, pepper and salt, then a thin sprinkling of ham, cut in dice, II boiled; or chop finer if raw ham IS used. Then add more veal and so on until dish is full. A sweetbread may be cut up and added to this pie, or the same amount of mushr0oms. Or you may use forcemeat as in Windsor pie, pr one made of hard-boiled eggs. Pour in half a cup of the gravy, which must be cold as we'll as all other ingredients when the cover of paste is laid on TOT baking. Finish same as Windsor pie. Vermicelli Pie-Butter rather well a deep baking dish. Have ready two ounces of vermicelli boiled and drained Put it in the bottom of the baking dish. Season the inside of four dressed pigeons with salt and pepper and stuff with a piece of butter, few bread crumbs, sprig of parsley, minced, then put in the pigeons, breast downward. Border the dish with puff, or good paste. Cover with thick lid, and bake in moderate oven. When done tura out carefully on to heated dish with the vermicelli on top. Maca- roni or spaghetti may be used instead of vermicelli.

Crab and Tomato Sandwich.

The bread should be toasted on the outside and filled with a large slice of ripe tomato Drowned in butter or broiled nicely, and either buttered crab meat, or a soft shell crab flat tened in a double broiler and done over hot coals, basting with butter. Serve this sandwich hot, of course In restaurants when this is special ty the crabs are first cooked la Creole-really smothered by steam over a mixture of condiments so that the natural moisture and delicacy of flavor is preserved with the added piquancy from the condiments. Ten der-hearted people must forego this delicacy after learning the real proc ess and be content with more humane methods.
