Not the Way to Help.

The widespread demand throughout the coun-
try for better coast defcn>cs and for adequate
military and naval equipment is not partisan in its
aspiration or intent, and any disposition on the
part OF conspicuous national leaders OF though, to
inject partsanship into the question is to be de-
plored. If Col. Roosevelt is really dcsrous OF
helping on the defensive program Of the National
Security League and other similar bodies he must
follow a different tact than which he is taking in
his quarrel with the Secretary OF War-phila-

A St Paul man who invented a method of kill
ing rabbits wholesale by wireless, improved the
device and after it was rejected by England and
France, sold it to Germany to be used in killing
men. He says he believes it was used in the

diaboc methods OF slaughtering human beings it
would seem that the Germans are in no need of
assistance from residents of the United States

HIGH VELOCITY STARS.
Their Fearful Rate of Speed In Space
Is Somewhat PuzzIing.

Their Fearful Rate Of Speed In Space
Is Somewhat PuzzIing.
The average velocity Of stars ranges
from about six kilometers. or between
three and four miles, per second for
%.'young'' stars to about thirty kilome-
ters per second for 'Old' ones. But
notable exceptions occur. At Mount
Wilson solar observatory of the Car
negie institution some stars have been
found to move with %velocities of al,
$50. 10. 233, 316 and even 1876 kilo-
meters per second. the highest speed
yet known.
These high velocity stars are ome
times described as runaways because
they seem to be quite beyond the con-
troll of the g%ravitational power of the
universe. At their speed the attrac-
ton of the entire known stellar sys-
ten would be wholly insufficient to
check She stars career through space.
The astronomer. Simon Newcomb,
once calculated that the maximum We
locity attained by a body starting
with velocity zero at an infinite dis
lance and passing through a stellar
system containing 1OO,OOO.OOO stars
each five times as massive as our sun
and distributed throughout a disklike
spheroid Of certain extent cannot ex-
coed 10 kilometers per second. Yet the
star "Groombridge 1880" has a speed
nearly nine times this value. and the
massive star Arcturus has a speed
probably four times this value.
If existing velocities owe their mag
nitudes to the gravitation of the sys-
tenn the quantity of attracting matter
in the whole stellar system would
have to be at least eighty times that
assumed by the calculations Of Pro-
fessor Observation-Disclosures Ameri-
can.

SO. to please the old woman, he prom

scientiously kept his word. At various
ports he made inquiry among British
ships. although it seemed very much
like looking for a needle in a bale of
hay. But it is the unexpected that
happens. AS DR.. Macleod's steamer
went up the Hugh river an outward
bound vessel passed close by. A sailor
was leaning over her bulwark, and,
move by a sudden impulse, the doctor
shouted out:
Are you Donald Mactavish?"
To his intense surprise the man an
swered, Yes"
DR.. Macleod had only time to shout,

the vessels drew apart. The result Of
his amazing meeting was that the old
lady received a penitent letter from
her long neglectful son.

ANIMALS IN PAWN.
Tame or Wild. They Are Good For q
Loan In This New York Shop.


Loan In This New York Shop.
Among the curious industries or
sources Uf livelihood in New York city
is All animal pa wnshOp. AS you take
a watch to an ordinary pawnshop to
raise money on it, SO you may take a
watchdog to the animal pawnshop.
Recently a man did this, getting $40
on a dog that was easily worth $50,
the pawnbroker said. But he was a
trick dog which had been taught to
open doors. So in due time he opened
a door and let himself while let
ting the pawnbroker in.
A we'll known animal trainer owns
the shop. He takes camels, lions, ele-
phants--any animals. There are no
charges for interest on the loan, the
only charge being for the keep of the
animals, among which, at almost any
time are dogs, monkeys, bears, goats,
cats, coons, foxes. parrots. canaries.
At II time he had forty trick dom
keys in pawn. The profits arising from
charges for feed and a are enough
to make the institution pay.
Once he had a lion in pawn which
broke his chain in the stable and went
roaring around, scared almost to death,
and 1t was only after heroic efforts
that they mustered courage to capture
him. AS a matter Of fact the animal
was a decrepit beast that had served
his time in sidcshows and was anxious
to get away.-Exchange.

Good Number Return to Work and no
. Trouble Ensues With Union Men.

Greenville, Nov. 15.-The Judson
Mill, which has been closed for the
past three weeks on account OF a
strike, was reopened at l o'clock to-
day, when a number of the operatives
returned to work. The union opera
tives refused to work though they
did not bother the non-union en-
ployees, except to ask them not to
return to work. Normally there are
some 700 operatives. The mill mel
claim that 400 returned to work,
while the labor leaders claim that
less than 200 returned to work. At
ter the opening of the mill Sheriff
Rector and President Geer spoke to
the union operatives, who refused to
return to their machines within the
mill. Both congratulated the oper-
atives for their, quiet conduct and
good behavior. Mr.. Geer stated that
while he differed from many Of them
in their opinions that he had moth
ing but the most kindly feeling for
those who did not return to work.
There were some who believed that
trouble would result when the mill
was reopened, though there was not
the slightest Indication of this.
