STRANGE Shower From Sky.

A remarkable fall from the heavens
of large quantities of what is de-
scribed as metallic floss took place at
Healdsburg, Cal. The shower, which
began between and 8 a. m, and
reached its maximum about ten
o'clock, was seen by all the inhabit-
ants Of the town.
According to an eyewitness, the ma
terial appeared high in the heavens, in
a clear sky, as mass Of stars, lus-
trous metallic sheets and silvery
ropes. 1t reached the earth in vari-
Gus shapes and sizes, ranging from
minute particles to sheets 20 feet
square. 1t fell in such quantities
that long ropes and masses of il hung
from the telephone and telegraph
wires.
When the substance reached the
warm earth it began at once to con
tract into tibrous masses, resembling
tlossy asbestos, though tests proved
that 1t was not that material. Most
of it soon disappeared, though sam
pies were saved and sent to Director
Campbell of the Lick observatory and
to Prof. Tito Alippi, director of the
observatory at Urbano, Italy-San

BAND SAVED THE SMALL BOY
Disguised II Is, Of Course, I'M
possible to Say.

THE village had new brass band"
said an urbanite just In from stay
in an ultra rural part of an eastern
state. THE new band played its first
piece one day. considerably going
some distance out of the village to do
1t. That delicate consideration doubt
less saved the life of small boy, but
1t killed Farmer Stauffer's valuable
Jersey bull.
AT the time the band went out to
play its first tune the bull was feeding
contentedly in its pasture, which was
near the spot chosen by the band for
venturing on its initial burst of tune.
While the band was getting it's collec-
tive lips ready to compel that burst
from it's horns the small boy who fig
ured in the episode was taking a short
cut through the pasture to get TO the
band.
The bull took note Of the small
boys presence and proceeded at once
to hasten his trip across the lot. The
boy did not delay his Fastening. The.
band had not seen the procession NOV
ing through the meadow, although the
bull was mounting his displeasure
Justify as he ran and the small boy
was lifting up his voice in audible and
penetrating tones, so absorbed was
that band in thought Of what it was
on the verge of lifting up itself.
The bull was within three jumps of
the speeding small boy when the band
had at last got ready to play its tune.
The band began to play. At the first
burst from the assembled horns the
bull stopped short, threw up his head
and shifted the air. The band blared
again. The bull turned and rushed
wildly toward nearby stone wall that
divided the lot from another lot The
band threw its soul once more into
its horns and the bull sprang over the
wall. He came down on his head on
the other side. The small boy, though,
did not stop in his flight, and the last
seen Of him was a streak of dust in
the road leading to the village. The
bulls neck was broken. He was dead"

MONEY MOST WISELY SPENT
Millions Expended in the Campaign
Against tuberculosis viii Surely
Have Its Effect.

More than $40 500, 900 was spent last
year in the campaign against tubercu-
losis in the United States. or this
sum 66.S per cent was derived from
public funds, either federal, state,
county or municipal, and the remain
der was contributed by private philan-
throphy, These are some of the in
teresting figures contained in the an
nual statistical statement of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, made pub
lie recently. The statement is based
largely on actual reports received
from anti-tuberculosis agencies To-
Gated throughout the country, but
where reports are not available, the
figures have been estimated.
Institutional care and treatment of
consumptives in hospitals and sana-
toria makes up the largest share of
the total expenditure. More than ST.
100000 was spent for this purpose,
with an additional s925,00 for spe-
cial treatment of tuberculosis insane
and prisoners. These figures include
not only the cost of maintenance, but
in some instances the cost of construc-
ton of Institutions. Antituberculosis
associations spent the next largest
sum, amounting to little over $780,
000 Care of patients in dispensaries
and by visiting nurses cost almost as
much. approximately 100000. The
growth Of the open-air-s school move
ment is shown in the fact that last
year more than 100000 was spent for
this purpose, as against $4,000 ex-
pended five years ago. State and
city boards of health spent 100000
directly on tuberculosis work.

ENGLAND'S NEW SEA LORD

John .Arbuthnot Fisher, Baron
Fisher of kilverston, who succeeded
Admiral Prince Louis of Battenberg as
first sea lord of the admiralty, has long
held as his motto, "The frontiers of
England are the coasts of the enemy"
The son of an obscure Highlander cap
tain and highborn Singhalese wom-
an, Fisher combined a certain amount
of oriental craft with traditional Brit
ish tenacity and reasoning. BY sheer
force Of mind, strict attention to duty
and persistent labor Fisher rose, step
by step, to the highest rank in 1904.
But even then the commander accept
ed promotion with reservation. He
had plans for reorganization of the
British fleet British naval power then
was not nearly so great as it is today,
nor was it concentrated. In the old
days the Mediterranean was regarded
as the scene of possible activities.
Fisher saw change had been brought
about in England's political relations
and that consequently the North sea

Soldiers in Silk.

There is a serious proposal to clothe
the British army in silk, and an order
has been given for cloth for a bat
talon of the Yorkshire regiment.
1t is a homely-looking material,
made from tussah yarn, wool and wor-
sted, which the silk trade wants the
army authorities to accept.
1t is said to have the great advan-
tages of lightness and durability, the
strain it will bear being nearly double
that of the material now used.

encouragement from W.T.. 1OWeIIS.
From time to time as one advances
in years, one feels obliged, by that
sclerosis of the tastes which is apt to
occur In old age, to abandon the
world to its accumulated errors, and
retire upon the superiority of the ir-
revocable past. At such moments it
appears that there are no such novels
as there once were, that fiction is not
at all the thing it used to be; yet
from time to time amidst the flatter-
ing despair in which one attributes to
oneself share Of that vanished SUI
periority, one has surprises of excel
lence in contemporary work Some
unimagined writer, hitherto quite I'M
