Turns From Love To Fame
Buehanan's Romance EEdS in SOr-
row, but He Gains Presidency
Refuses to Seek HeIpmeet.
BY AIaelsoa {. Peter..

TAAIES BUCHANAN was born in 1871
at Stony Batter. near Mercersburg.
- Pa The elder Buchanan had mi
grated from Donegal. Ireland. eight
years before. James was a studious lad,
entering Dickinson college at 16. When
the war with England broke out al
though building up a promising prac-
tice, he Joined an army OF volunteers
under judge Shipper. They marched to
Baltimore to defend it against the Brit
ISL, but were not called upon, and
Buchanan, therefore did not see active
service.
Buchanan was so engrossed in max
ing a career for himself that he did not
give much thought to the fair sex, al
though he was much sought after. par
ucularly when he became known to
fame. Among the bellies of. Lancaster
none was more popular with the young
men Of the day than Anne Colman.
ness and tact
Buchanan was elected to the state
legislature in 1914 Upon the expiration
OF his term he returned to Lancas ter,
where he fell madly in love with Anne
Colman- After brief, ardent cOurtship
he persuaded her TO marry him. He was
most thoughtful and ardent wooer. ex-
erung every effort TO please Anne. even
abandoning his political career think
ing he would be separated less from her
were he not a servant Of his country.
The young lawyer had reached the
zenith Of his happiness; betrothed to
the woman he loved, succeeding in his
chosen career. everything appeared in
roseate colOrs, when he received a
crushing blow that turned his dav into
night. Anne wrote asking to be re-
leased from her engagement He was
stunned He had been so sure OF her
leo =
was deserving him, but true TO his gen
erous nature. he did not blame her. he
only plSled himself and prayed that she
might be happy. Why Miss CoIman
broke her troth was never known. and
II Buchanan knew he kept the secret
safely locked within his own breast. 1T
was late summer when the engagement
was broken. and the following Decem-
Der Anne died, while on a visit TO some
friends In Philadelphia
Buchanan was almost distracted with
grief, and the girls father felt the
keenest sympathy for the young man.

/ sun is not very much more than one
third OF the earths distance, from
which it follows. since the intensity Of
heat as well as Of light varies in
I versely as the square OF the distance,
I that the solar radiation on Mercury
must be about nine times as hot as It
is upon the earth.
But this is only the beginning OF
the story Of the thermometers woes Of
Mercury The orbit Of that planet is
so eccentric, f. e., so oval. that some
times Il is $4,000, 600 miles nearer
the sun than at other times. The re-
suit IS that 1t gets more than twice as
mucn neat and light from the sun
when IL is at one end of its orbit as
when IL Is az the other end, and It
takes only about six weeks TO 90 from
one Of these extremes 10 the Otheri
But even this is not the worst. IN
ike the earth, Mercury does not rotate
on its axis in q brief period GA hours
for the earth), but its axial rotation
is completed in the same time as its
revolution around the sun, which oc-
cupies about IS days. The consequences
IS Ihat Mercury knows no change from
day 10 night and from night TO day
but has constant daylight on one side
and unending night on the other.
You can imagine what the results
must be- No wonder the globe OF Mer-
curry resembles a ball Of hard baked
yellow brick. On the daylight side the
unselIlng sun continues forever to
pour down Hood OF heat nine times as
intense as that which falls upon the
earths equator for only y out OF the
p hours. On the night side, however,
where the sun is never seen, the tenn
perature must sink. and remain. far
down toward absolute zero. II has
been calculated that thermometer
placed on that side OF Mercury would
steadily mark at least $50 or 200 de-
grees below zero.
Another strange thing about 0Ier-
curry is its great density, or relative
weight. II seems to be made up prin-
cipaLy of some metal like lead or the
metal mercury itself It is heavier than
a cannon ball OF the same dimensions
would be- and it is hurled through
space by the Eravitative effects OF the
sun, which keeps it travelling round
and round in its eccentric orbit, with
a velocity which varies from % TO IS
miles per second
Speculations are sometimes INDUCED
concerning the possible inhabitants Of
Mercury, but no astronomer ever en-
tertains them: to him 1t seems impos- Z
sible that Mercury could be the abode I
OF any creatures less volatile than dis |
embodied spirits.
