Path of the Sun

fatn or tue pun
 Tn accordance with the recognition of two independent streams of drifts of stars and the discovery that the sun be- longs to one of them, a revision became necessary of the determination of the path of the sun in space. LAbbe Nor eaux sums up in Scentia the recent work which has been done in aseertaining what Is called the solar apex, beginning with that of Prof. Kopold of Kiel, who was the first to bring to light in 1908 the sys- tematic error which had been introduced in all previous determinations of this point says the Boston Evening Transcript.
 It Is clear that this error might be- come considerable if while the sun were moving toward the apex of It's own path it were also a part of a swarm of stars moving with it. The redetermin- ation of the direction of the suns path among the stars has been accompanied by a new investigation of the speed at which the solar system moves in space. The new investigation. which has only been undertaken systematically since the beginning of the century, depends for it's results on the application of the prin- ciple that the wave length of a ray of light must alter according as the source of light is moving toward or away from the observer. To apply it to the par
  necessary to compare the radical move ments of q large number of stars sit uated in the direction followed by the sun with the radical movements of the stars which the solar system is leaving behind
 Movements of approach would be in the majority in the first case; move ments of departure would be dominant in the second By striking mean, rel atively to the movements of the stars employed in the calculation, the speed of movement of the solar system might be arrived at When all the new de- examinations are correlated the following seem to be the results which embody the sum of observations up to the present time: That the sun Is being carried in the direction of the constellation Lyra. probably aiming at a point In the neigh borhood of the star Vega and little to the south of it. and that the speed of it's path Is somewhat between 20 and 24 kill ometers a second. If Vega were no fur thur away than our near neighbor. Alpha centauri, the sun would reach its goal in 70 600 years at latest or 56,0o0 years at earliest. But Vega Is nearly six times as far away and the solar apex will not, therefore, be reached for some 10000 years.

latter is converted into a huge rainbow and upon being blown by the wind into a broad sheet 1t has every appearance of a mammoth aqueous flag. The stream of water. though spray at the top. is a jet over foot in diameter when 1t leaves
 it's nozzle.
 The boarders of the lake are flanlxed with public gardens and here the popnlace and visitors sit and gaze upon Mt Blanc 40 miles away The mountain. however, does not appear to be more than 15 miles removed, and it's contour from this point of vision, aceentuated by the shadows of its seracs, present close resemblance to the visage of a sleeping man with a mili- tary cap. The Genevese call it Napoleon but l failed to detect therein any resem- blance to the Little Corporal.
 Bicycle riding is great fad in the city, but the lamp is practically unknown, the rider carrying at night the ordinary paper Chinese lantern.
 The city's art gallery is not devoid of interest and the magnificent foyer of it's new theatre is well worth a visit
 The impressive features are the hall where sat the Alabama claims commission in 1872, the ornate monument to the Duke of Brunswick. the Island of Rousseau, the huge waterworks with wheels of 9oo- horse power each and the odd Druidieal figures which adorn the promenade of the Bastions.
 Its suburbs are charming and at Pregny the Baroness Adolphe Rothschild has one of the most exquisite chateaux that ever an architect fashioned. It is a dream in stone and like the little maiden In Wordsworth's We are Seven" it's beauty made me glad.''
 At the Musee Ariana, also in the sub urbs. is to be seen Raphaers Madonna of Vallombrosa, a replica of his celebrated Madonna del Cardelino.
 Switzerland has ever symbolized liberty and philanthropy. It's heroes died for freedom and Rousseau, a native of Ge- neva. chanced all for liberty of thought. It has ever offered, as it were the benefit or sanctuary to political refugees and even the legendary and mythical martyrs of the country have become real per sonages.
 The international convention, which as- sembled at Geneva in 1864, effected the lessening of the needless suffering of sol dfers in wars and provided for the neli- tralty of it's members and the building of medical departments on battle grounds Hence it is to Geneva that the world owes the presence of these angels oi mercy lowering over the dead and dyin, amid the blood, the carnage, the smok, l and the thunder of the battlefield and tb, | little red cross as symbol of philan. l thropy is seen, recognized, respected ant l blessed the wide world over.

Rotschild's Chateau, Geneva

Bonivard or he would have handled
 the subject in a different manner. 1 History informs us that so far back
 as the year $50 Louis le Debonnaire | imprisoned the Abbot Wala of Corvey
 In castle from which only the sky, l the Alps and Lake Leman were vis- {, ible and this could have been no oth-
 CT than Chiffon. 1 have visited the cas- tie often, especially at the hour Of sunset in order to see the declining rays streaming through the narrow looph oles Of the walls into the sombre precincts. What must have been the I tortures Of the prisoners at this hour with long, dreary night before them? The staples are still In the stone col | umns to which the wretches were fast ened by chains and the traces of the bath around those columns made by ceaseless walking are still visible. Upon these columns are written the au- | tographs of Byron, Eugene Sue, George Sand. Victor Hugo and other celeb | rites.
 At the south end of Lake Leman sits Geneva. city of nearly 100000 popu-
 lation, including it's suburbs and a To- cality which was in existence a century before OUT era.
 When I first visited the city it was upon a gala occasion for the musical concourse was then being held there. l1le CWlSS are eAteeulnEly 1onu o1 Inu- sic and every town possesses one or more brass bands or orchestras. Upon stated occasions contests are held by these brass and string bands and even choral societies, at which prizes are 1 awarded and every 10 years the com | petitions are open to the musical or ganizations of the world.
 The 10-year concourse was in progress when I arrived and there was not a window in the city that did not display
 a flag, not post nor column that was not enyeloped in the strongly entrusted | red and yellow of the city's coat of arms. I Two hundred and fifty bands were present
 and parading the thoroughfares of the l city Musical organizations even came | from Egypt but not one from American
 was to be seen.
 The eclat of the occasion was augment l ed by the fact that the same day Bar
 mum & Baley's circus was parading and
 giving a Sunday performance. It seemed
 a trifie odd to note the familiar annual posters of ring, acrobat and menagerie
 displayed with announcements and procla-
 nations in French and German languages.
 Geneva in addition to it's exceptional beauty Is noted for it's large swans and 1 it's high fountains. The birds. both white and black, are probably the largest species in Europe, and its tallest fountain throws a spray of water 270 feet into the air. When the sunlight strikes this spray the

Home Face Feeling
 Becomes Popular

No complexion treatment yet discov- cred seems to have become so generally and so imm mediately popular as the mer- colized wax process. Evidently the req son is that this method actually gets rid be said of any other. To temporarily hide or bleach the defective skin with cos metics cannot compare with the effect of literally removing the skin itself. Mercolized wax takes off the offending surface skin in flour-l like particles, a little at time until there's none of it exhibits a healthy glow and girlish beauty obtainable in no other way This 'gist's is applied at night in the same way you use cold cream, and washed off next morning.
 Here is one thing that actually does remove wrinkles, removes them quickly, and at trifling cost: Powdered saxolite. 1 oz., dissolved in 1-2 pt witch hazel. Use as face bath.

i A = IWI entertain a sense of compan-
 ionship for a river and yet eSRx&l almost anyone who has fre- i. .auented famous stream at various points oe its course will experience such feeling. Among the many rivers or Europe for which I have exper- fenced such a sentiment few have im- pressed me more sensibly than the Rhone, that mighty rival of the Rhine, which for awhile companions it's sis ter stream and then parts from it for ever upon the very roof of the water shed and flows south, leaving it's erst- While mate to wander in the far north.
 I have followed the Rhone from it's very source at the world famous gla- cier, down through it's incomparable valley until it plunges into the Lake of Geneva and finally hides itself un- Aderground in the wonderful Pert du Rhone. It is a mighty stream and it possesses many vagaries, one of which is manifsted just after 1t leaves the lake and is joined by the gentle Arve when a dual current of separate col CTS may be noted for many miles The Rhone as it rushes through its valley is turbulent and morose. It is sullen and it's spirit is manifested by it's color, a eeld, chilly steel blue, reflex of the cerulean ice tha. gives it birth .she Arye is decidedly muddy and the Rhone seems to resent as an unwar- ranted intrusion it's confluence for it seemingly draws its tides to itself as a woman folds her skirts in proud scorn about her and preserves at least half of its characteristic hue. Thus one sees as it were a piebald steam, one-half of which IS blue and the other yellow in color. Then as if ashamed of it's companion or it's changed condition It suddenly plunges underground and disappears from sight some 16 miles below Geneva.
 It is difficult for me to compare the beauty of Lake Geneva or Leman, as 1t is al ernately ealled- for I have spent so many happy days upon it's plac-
