Outer Space

When We speak OF outer space, the
space between star and star, as be
ing empty OF matter, II Is rather in
tel estlng TO see exactly what We
mean" says writer we know
from observations on the planets that
light, I'm It's passage across space TO
our earth, suffers hardly any absorp-
ton, and from this fact we can deduce
conclusions respecting the density of
such matter as exists In outer space.
IF the degree of rarefaction in
outer space IS, for example in the
neighborhood OF the one hundred mil
lionth part OF an atmosphere then the
appearance OF Jupiter, for instance,
would be as II our atmosphere had
twice It's present opacity. SO that
such matter as exists must be in a
much more rarefed state. But, after
all. these terms are only compare
tive.
Suppose our atmosphere were al
lowed 10 expand up 10 the limits OF
the visible universe as far as the
Milky way Then its rarefaction would
be such that II would be quite i'm
possible, by any optical means, 70
detect the presence OF any matter.
Nevertheless, there would be about
5000 molecules per cubic centimeter
throughout space.

How Macmillan Saved

The newest OF many graceful little
animals in the zoo are pair Of
Grecian IbeX kids, who, on sunny

yards. They are an interesting species
since they represent almost tile last
OF the once numerous wild goats OF
Europe. For a long time the prob

soyereigns or the Mediterranean
countries

Coat Hanger Worth While.

A coat hanger may be padded and covered with cretonne or chintz tn- stead of silk or ribbon. It makes a strong, substantial cover, and if the chintz is of good design the hanger will be very quaint and pretty. This would be an excellent way to utilize small pieces of material
 Wrap the hook with narrow ribbon. matching some shade in the chintz. A little different arrangement can be ob- tained by twisting in the usual way and winding the ribbon around the hanger at the base of the hook, then fastening it securely with needle and thread. A rosette of ribbon can be added to the side of the hook if de- sired. Scent the padding before cov- ering, or make sachet bags and at- tach to the base of the hook with long. narrow ribbons so that they will hang inside the garment or coat.
 The latter plan of using the sachet Is best as the scent can easily be re- newed from time to time.
