SAW COMING STAR IN CALvE
Al Hayman First to Recognize Sing
er's Great Powers, and Henry {.
Abbey Did the Rest.

Several years ago Al Hayman. who
was in London, met the late Henry
E. Abbey, who was then our greatest
impressairo. Mr.. Abbey was present
ing opera at the Metropolitan and was
searching Europe for new singers. AS
they sat over their coffee after COM
Portable dinner in their club Mr.. Hay
man described the trip he had just
taken through provincial France.
And, by the way" said he, 81 heard
a most remarkable young woman sing
Carmen at some little out-of-the-way
place"
Searching through his pockets he
finally came upon her name in his
note book and gave 1t to Abbey, who
seized his hat and called cab.
Where are you going?" said Hayman.
I'm going to Paris Immediately and
find where she is and go to hear her,"
replied the impulsive Abbey. He
found her in dingy little opera house
in a small provincial town and heard
her sing Carmen. That night he had
her signature to a contract, and that
is how New York came to hear and
acclaim the great Calve before ever
Paris had heard of her.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM A COMET
American Woman In London REEVES
Theory That Magi Followed a
Wanderer.

London.-A theory Of what the Star
of Bethlehem really was, was ad-
yanced by Mrs. John HARNESS (Belle
IarpsteT Hartness), a prominent mem
Der Of the American circle In Lon
ion and representative at large OF the
League of American Pen Women at
Washington, at lecture delivered by
her recently at the University OF Lon
ion
Taking the scriptural narrative as
substantially correct, Mrs. HARNESS
1ealt with the theories already put
Onward, and showed they all fell
hort of the facts as recorded. Basing
her theory on the story of st. Andrew.
Mrs. Hardness showed that the Magi
1ad been expecting a star>to appear,
hat this particular star followed a
prescribed course, that 1t shone for a
ong time, the lecturer argued that
il must have been a comet which the
wise men of the east saw and fol-
lowed.
A comet is the only celestial body
which fulfills every particular as re-
corded. When this theory was sub
.nitted to Professor Bickerton, a well
known New Zealand astronomer, he
aid that If his own theory of a new
star were disproved he would accept

The Clocks We Wear.

The three marks on the back of
glove and the clocks on the stocking
are due practically to the same cir
cumstance. The glove marks CORE
spond to the fourchette pieces be-
tween the fingers, and in other days
these pieces were continued along the
back of the hand, braid being used to
conceal the seams. A somewhat sim
liar origin is assigned to the orna-
mental clock on the stockings. In the
days when stockings we're made OF
cloth, the seams occurred where the
clocks do now, the ornamentation then
being used to conceal the seams. The
useless little bow in the leather band
lining a mans hat is the survival Of
the time when hat was made by TAX
ing a piece of leather, boring two
holes through 1t and drawing 1t up
with a piece of string.-Harpers

HISTORIC OLD TOWN
Akmaar, Holland, Has Many In
teresting Features.
Quaint Dutch City Of 10000 Is Typical
Of the country-scene Of Resist
anee to Spanish Siege
Of 1873.

Alkmaar, Holland.-The town itself
is one that must abide in the memory
of everyone who sees it for the first
time. Its most important church is
the Groote Kerk of st. Lawrence.
which contains among other things
the ancient tomb Of Floris ", Count
Of Holland, who died in 1896. The tow
er of the Stadhuis dates from 1907.
It contains a library and a municipal
museum, furnished with several not
able pictures. But the old Weigh
house, after all, remains to us the
most interesting of the buildings In
the town. Not least of it's charms is
the prospect from the top. From 1t
our artist was able to secure very
striking picture of the view as seen
from that eminent position. There
could not be anything more typical Of
Holland. First of all there Is the
canal, the national waterway, winding
sluggishly through the town and diVid-
ing 1t in two. There are the canal
boats, the wagons Of this aqueous
highway, placidly pursuing their jour
ney or waiting by the wharves to be
laden or unladen. Most Of all there
are the Dutch houses, or rather the
characteristic roofs Of them-the view
that they would present to the stars.
The town is Just Of the right size to
be brought within this focus. It num-
bers about 10000 inhabitants. the ma
jority of whom are connected directly
or indirectly with agriculture. But the
place has its historical records also.
II appeals to the historian as the
scene of a splendid resistance to the
Spanish siege in 1573-the period OF
the Dutch struggle for independence.
The buildings. to which we have al
ready made allusion, carry US back to
that sixteenth century, which was "a
nous there as in England for the
artistic beauty and sense Of proper
ton brought to bear upon the work OF
building. Houses Of this period are
fine all the world over, and not least
| in Holland.
The Dutch cheese trade is an old In
dustry in one way, but its great de
.elopment is modern in character. Til
only a comparatively recent period the
dairy herds In this country were neg

piled to the COW was that she should
give a very large quantity of milk. Il

Appliances for Measuring Time.

Mechanical appliances for measur-
ing time were in use from the earliest
ages and clocks of one kind or an
other we're made in Europe before the
discovery of America. Brass wheel
clocks with weights, standing six
feet high, such as are now called
grandfather clocks, we're common In
England and Germany long before the
revolutionary war. The first clockma-
ker in the United States was Eli Ter
ry, who made his first clock with
wooden wheels in 1892, and afterward
made a great many, and they were
good timekeepers. In 1907 he con-
tracted to deliver 1000 wooden wheel
movements to a certain firm, and 1t
took him three years to fill the order.
Seth Thomas, once well known Yam
kee clockmaker, learned his trade
with Eli Terry. Brass wheel clocks
were first made in the United States
in 1887.

Trees and Lightning.

The electrical resistance of trees is
quite great, a quality which protects
them to a considerable degree from
lightning stroke. This resistance var
les greatly with the character of the
tissues and also with the temperature.
This fact results in an annual and
daily period of resistance. The cam
blum layer shows the least electrical
resistance, followed by the phloem
