THERE has been an insistant de-
mand for the repeal Of the libel law,
under which a newspaper man al be
indicted in any county hfs paper cir
culates in, and the general sentiment
was in favor Of 1t. Now there is a
doubt about being able to repeal it.
The politicians are having too much
fun out Of it to let 1t 60. Elfego Baca
printed In his paper published In Ber-
nalillo county, an intimation that the
late Sol Luna did not die an acclden-
tai death, and that certain persons
close to him made no effort TO unravel
the mystery of his death. For this
Baca and the entire force Of printers
employed on his paper were arrested
and taken to Valencia county, where
they gave bail to await the action Of
the grand jury, After giving bail
Elfego brought suit, claiming $3.50 0
damages, against Ed. f. Otero, a
nephew, of Mr.. Luna, who made the
complaint on which he was arrested,
complaining that owing to his arrest
and Incarceration in the Valencia
county jail his chances Of being nom
mated by the republicans as a can
didate for congress were materially
reduced. Thereupon Otero brought
suit against Baca for $4,000 damages
for the intimations made against him
in the article printed. More suits
are looked for, and the politicians are
chuckling.

Though scientific progress has made
it possible to do a double journey be-
tween England and America In q fort
night. there remain many islands with
which 1t takes years to communicate.
On the Scottish coast are the groups
Of islands known as the Hebrides. Ork-
neys and Shetlands. OF these the most
isolated island Is st. Kilda, some three
miles long and two miles broad. The
inhabitants lead lives Of great loneli-
ness for 1t takes a month to get to
the next island. and the e often
makes any communication with St
Kilda impossible for months.
The group Of eight Phoenix islands
In the Pacific has a total population Of
only 15S. while another little bit OF
the British empire Is Tanning island.
This Is a landing place for the Pacific
submarine cable. and usually there are
about 100 people in the place.
The loneliest OF all parts Of British
territory Is the island Of Tristan da
Cunha. In the south Atlantic. which
- also the smallest inhabited island
In the empire. It Is 1900 miles from

CRATER LAKES.
Easter Island Has a Wonderful One,
and So Has Java.

Wonderful lakes are often found in
side the craters Of volcanoes. One Of
these can be seen upon Easter island
the island which bears wonderful re-
mains Of an unknown ancient people.
Inside a crater is a lake. near the bor-
ders OF which lie several unfinished
crowns composed Of tufa. evidently
destined for the huge figures on the
shores Of the island. but never COM
pleted. And on this lake float many
waterfowl. OF which is said to be
a goose unknown to science.
Another curious crater lake existed
until recently within the icebound era
ter Of a volcano in New Zealand. The
water was heated to boiling point, but
a short time ago an eruption Of more
than common violence tossed the
whole lake into he air.
A most interesting crater lake can
still be eel in Java In the volcano of
Papandajan. and It is possible to enter
the crater and gaze down on the scene

law and medicine are sciences. It
should be studied as such. for with

man Being on Earth.
For years the approximate number Of
stars visible to the eye, q matter Of
5000 or 1000, according to the def1ni-
ton Of average vision. has been known.
BY most persons. however. and by
many scientists. the total number Of
stars in the heavens has been con
sidered countless, If not limitless. The
universe is now declared to be finite.
yet Of a magnifcence Of dimensions
and Of q populousness far beyond all
earlier conceptions. This assumption
Is a result Of very recent Investigations
into the motions and distances OF the
stars.
The latest studies on the subject Of
the number as we'll as the light Of the
stars have been made at the royal OBJ
servatory at Greenwich, England. The
late Franklin Adams succeeded In max
ing a set Of 2O6 photographs covering
the entire sky. After counts were
made on these pictures. from which the
brightness Of the self luminous bodies
between practically the twelfth and
seventeenth magnitudes could be In
ferred, It vas concluded that they
recorded about 100000 stars.
From this a formula was determined
showing the change Of number In
passing from n magnitude to an
other. With these figures It was rea-
soned that the aggregate number Of
stars is not less than 1.OOO.OO0.OO0.
probably not more than 2.O0OyOOO.O 900.
and probab bly, approximately 100000
600. the estimated present population
Of the earth.
In making computations It was in
ferred that there would BE- as many
stars fainter than magnitude twenty
three or t~wenty-four as there are
brighter. From September Popular
