Astronomy Not So Much.

Sir Robert Bail. the famous English
astronomer. whose death occurred a
few months ago, used TO tell a little
story OF an experience that he had
when he was at the DSnsink Observe
tory. A farmer came to him one day
and asked II he might look at the
moon through the telescope.
Surely you can." said Ball. Come
round tonight and I shall be very happy
to let you see II through the teie-
scope"
can't see 1t now?" asked the
farmer, surprised.
the astronomer. You will have 10
wait until night"
Huh, Then your old telescope is
not so great thing as I thought II
was" cried the man, relieved from his
illusion. II can see the moon at night
without tt"-xeuth's Companion.

the Galveston ranch. on the Texas
bank Of the Rio Grande. Eight
years later he was surprised when
221 acres of Mexican land came
across the river and attached itself
to his ranch. He effected an ar
rangement by which he became
owner of this land, known as the
Soliseno Banco.
''The river was tranquil until 1866"
she continued, when 1t cut off
piece of Mr.. Turner'S land and took
II to Mexico, and there part Of II
remains to this day. The other Part
was gradually washed away: but in
1856 the river made up its mind to
repay the farmer for what 1t had
taken from him twenty-onc years
before, and so carried back into
Texas a piece Of land far larger than
the tract originally lost Brt. pn-
fortunately for the good intentions
of the river, the land IL restored
belonged to the owners on the Mexi-
can side, and, although it had at

TRADE COMMISSION
BILL BEFORE SENATE

With the situation as to enactment
of trust legislation in the Senate
badly tangled Senator Newlands to-
day brought up the trade commission
bill and urged that it be made the un-
finished business. ,
He spoke at length in support of
prompt consideration and passage of the
bill. Admitting he had been charged
with overindulgence in speech, Senator
Newiands said he had reformed and the
question was whether the Senate would
restrain itself from speech, thus making
coercion by passing a cloture rule un-
necessary.
He proceeded to explain the bill and
to ask that il be promptly taken up.
