Amazing Masses of STARS

Ds studying the distribution OF
* stars in the globular masses, e.
- Pickering has deduced. from
observation. the apparent density. i.e.,
the number Of stars per unit of sur
face at different distances from the
centre of the mass; he concludes that
the distribution is the same for bright
stars as for feeble ones, and also that
the law of distribution is the same
from one mass to another.
II. Won zeipel has endeavored, to de-
duce, from the apparent density on
the celestial sphere. the true density
in space, with partially satisfactory
results. The distribution of stars near
the centre y0as represented in a sat
isfactory manner. but the density at
the boundaries IS less than that re-
CURED by the theory.
In a new memoir he arrives at
novel conclusion. Each of these
masses is a gigantic system contain
ing about a million stars; the number
of stars visible on plate is not the
hundredth part of the total number

A Wise Caution.
WIN Il Is IMPORTANT That BREAD Should Be WRAPPED

Another contribution to this sub
ject is by Barnard and Bishop, deal
ing with the effect Of wrapping
upon the chemical composition
of the loaf. It was found that wrap
ring in either semi-porous waxed or
parafin paper prevents the escape
of moisture and tends to preserve
the colloidal condition and physico-
chemical equilibrium, the destruc-
ton of which produces stafeness.
The effects of wrapping vary con-
siderabIy for different kinds OF
bread.

BOY FARMER.

Ben Leath of Kensington, Gas takes
his place as the champion boy corn
grower of the United States. He was
awarded the gold medal at the Pana-
ma Pacific Exposition, on a record
yield of 241.71 bushels to a single
acre. A performance like that of this
Georgia boy would have been hooted
a. as an impossibility a few years ago
A production of 241 bushels on 200
acres would have been regarded as
something more reasonable. 1t wa
only two or three years ago that the
boy farmers began raising 100 bushels
tc the acre. That was regarded as
marvellous by all except the boys,
themselves, who proceeded on the
theory that so much having been ac-
complished there was no reason why
better records should not be made.
The record of 100 bushels has long
since ceased to excite comment. On
faith in the corn club boys has been
strengthened to such an extent that
we would not feet justified in express
ing the opinion that the limit has been
reached by young Ben Leah. We ex-
pect the day to ONE when the papers
will be parading the name of ONE boy
farmer who has raised 300 bushels to
the acre.-Charlotte Observer.

A BIG

Something of the advance which is
taking place in the electrical general
ing industry may be seen from the an
nouncement recently made by the Den
yer Gas & Electric Light Co., that it IS
p%Ctting in the largest and most modern
switchboard in use by any electric gen
Grating company of the country.
Four months were necessary to
draw the plans for the new board, a
year will be required to complete it's
construction and it will cost $125. 200.
From this one switchboard will be au-
tomatically controlled, all the electric
generating plants and distributing
feeder lines supplying Denver. The
board will have a length of 140 feet
and width of 80 feet. 1t will have
three elevations, a main floor and two
galleries, and will handle a voltage of
1900 stepped down from the $4,000
volts of the Colorado Power Company
and the company's own steam general
ing stations. The new board is de-
signed to facilitate operation with a
greater degree of safety and will re-
suit in large economic saving, as it will
have more than double theef1ciency at
the present switchboard.-Wall Street
Journal.
