osssssssssssssssssssssssss to us. Yet the explanation of how we have achieved this most remark able knowledge is a very simple one. It has all come through the discovery of the spectroscope. an instrument of so much importance that 1t has given birth tc an entire new province of astronomy. Il has divided the whole science into two rarts, the older. or fundamental as- tronomy- and the so-called astra- phy- sics. Many great observatories are wholly devoted to either the first or to the second of these lines of invcs- tIgation.

 Mercury enters the evening sky on May l. and reaches its greatest dis tance east of the sun on May 31. On the latter date it will set in the north west 1 hour 40 minutes after sunset On the evening of May 30. Mercury and Saturn may be seen near together in the sky, the former planet passing to the east of the latter on the forenoon of the next day. At this time Mcr- cury will be north of Saturn at dis tance from 1t equal to five times the apparent diameter of the full moon
 Benus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are all morning stars. The first Is rapidly approaching the sun, rising l hour ls minutes before sunrise on May l and steadily decreasing this interval during

The three bright stars which cross the body of the Scorpion bear indeed some resemblance to the Belt of Orion and are sometimes mistaken by very inexperienced observers for this lat ter figure Possibly 1t is the relative positions of these two striking groups which first suggested the legend or Orion fleeing from his slayer.

WILD AUTO WINGS DRIVER.
Runaway Car Disables Owner, Scat
tiers Pedestrians and Wrecks
Ford.

Greene, Sept. ia runaway au-
tomobile in the main street of Greene,
Saturday afternoon, disabled it's own
er, scattered pedestrians, threatened
store front, wrecked a Ford car,
and finally exhausted itself as it sud
denly bumped into a telephone post
AS result of this peculiar incident,
William Maxwell, a farmer residing
about six miles west of Greene, own
er of the car, sustained several bro
ken ribs, scratched visage and may
have suffered internal injuries.
Mr.. Maxwell brought his wife to
town to do some shopping and after
discharging his passenger at a store
the driver attempted to crank his car.
| While in the act of doing so, the en-
CINE suddenly started, the car shot
forward knocking Mr.. Maxwell to the
ground, and then began a wild dash
Iabout the main street of Greene,
which for time threatened wide
spread destruction. The car passed
over Mr.. MaXwells body, and gaining
speed, dashed down the street at q
rate of fifteen miles an hour. Sudden.
ly the car made a wide circle and
headed for the plate glass show win
dow of store, but passing Ford
car questioned the right of way and a
collision resulted, the Ford being de-
molished. The larger car was divated
from its course by the impact and in
stead of crashing into the display
window, headed for telephone pole,
which proved firm enough to stand
the impact and bring the runaway
to standstill. Here the gas was shut
off by citizen who had witnessed
the strange affair. The car was but
slightly damaged.

Onion Farms Better Than Orange
Groves.


Mason City, Iowa, Sept. ia
minimum yield of 500 bushels per
acre, a maximum of 500 bushels per
acre, is what the ST. Ansgar onion
ranch is producing. The onions have
been dug and the quality as well as
the quantity was never better. Alto
gether 81 acres were harvested and
from the acreage $1,000 bushels
were dug, equivalent to 1874 car loads.
The yield is not only immense, but
the revenue derived would fairly as
tonish even the most radical Cali
fornia land boomer. Onions are readi-
ly selling in this locality at 81 per
bushel. This means that the poorest
land yielded an onion valuation OF
$500 per acre, while the best yield
ed $500 per acre, or in the st. Ans
gar district alone the onion crop was
worth this year $67, 900. Not BUSH
ell of these onions has been sold at the
prices now prevailing. They have been
stored away in curing sheds and when
the owners think the price is right
better than 81 a bushel-some may
move. The Gilbertson company is
the largest raisers. They are now get
ting ready for 90-acre field, and 9TH
ers of that locality are going into the
onion business more extensively next
year.
