 been brought to light in the slow way in which the govern ment is handling the purchase of the site for the proposed federal building in Fairbanks. Many weeks have passed since the title to the land was sent to Washington for ap- proval, and it seems that as many more will have passed before the property finally changes hands.
 Before the abstract of the title to the property was sent to the de- partment of justice, it was necessary for it to be approved by the district attorney at this place. Assistant District Attorney Harry Pratt was assigned to look into the legal fea- lures of the title and to sign MT. Roth's name to the approval that was to be sent later.

STARS BRIGHTER THAN SUN
There Are Many Several Times
More Luminous.

Astronomers estimate that in a
sphere with a radius of 20,000,00C
times the distance from the earth
to the sun there are nearly 1000 stars
which are from ten to one hundred
times as luminous as the sun.
In the same sphere are no less than
23,200 stars which are each as lumin
Gus as the sun, and the enormous
number of $4,000 stars which have
one-tenth the brightness of the orb
which lights our earth by day.
For convenience in studying them
astronomers have divided the stars
into six main classes, known as B
A, F, G, X and NJ stars These classes
are named in the order of their tenn
perature, the B stars being the bluest
and hottest, and the NJ the reddest
and coolest.
The stars In class G are the most
like the sun, their spectra being full
of metallic lines, and with broad lines
due to calcium.
All the red stars are divided into
two subdivisions known as giant and
dwarf stars. The former are thought
to be stars which are in an early stage
OF evolution and increasing in tenn
perature, while the latter are growing
older and darker. Taken altogether
the red stars average 100 times as
bright as the sun, and this is the rea
son WHY we can see them although at
great distances away.

| MACHINERY BAD FOR NERVES
Bound to Wear Away Vitality in
Those Constantly at Work Amid
a Perpetual Whir.

A great many men and women who
work in busy factories, where there
is perpetual whir of machinery, are
facing as great hardships as any worh
can bring. Consciously or unconsci
ously, the noise is wearing away thei,
vitality just as a grindstone wears
away the steel Of the blade that is
being sharpened.
There is a certain regular rhythm
in all the simpler kinds of work. This
is seen in the fact that most of them
have developed songs Of their own.
Sailors have their "chanties," sol
diers march to the beat of the drum

is in tune with nature. too, and while
the storm may produce awe it does
not fatigue the brain.
The rhythm of machinery, however
is altogether too fast for human
rhythm, and the body never actually
becomes accustomed to it. No matter
what may be mans natural pace, he
must follow the speed of nonhumau
over, which, like tireless demon
,rives him night and day. And, all
the while, the whir of the machinery
around him CRATES upon the brain un
ceasingly.
Sometimes we think we have got
used to 1t.
Not so. We may have become
dulled, but that is a sign that some

A fatefuI 0an,e Of chass.

It Is Spanish tradition that ~
fate of Columbus overhung on q game
Of chess. For years the great naviga-
tor had haunted the Spanish court, try
ing to interest some one in his plans,
but at last he determined to abandon
the country and visit France. The
night before his intended departure he
sought an audience with the queen to
communicate his intentions and to take
his leave. The queen asked him to
wait while she made another effort to
interest the king. She found Ferdi-
nand engaged at game Of chess and,
disturbing him by her entrance, caused
him to lose piece. Annoyed and irri-
tated by the incident, the king, after
rudely denouncing Columbus and his
schemes, informed Isabella that the
result of the petition would depend on
the result of the game. 1t grew worse.
and the chances We're all against the
launching of the expedition. But the
queen, overlooking the board, whisper
ed to her august spouse suggestion
relative to a move that would be ad-
vantageous. The king followed the
advice, the complexion of the game
was quickly reversed, and Columbus
dream of years was realized at last.

Teeth That Won't Stop Growing


One of the most extraordinary cases
known to dental science is that OF
Virginia man whose teeth won't stop
growing. About five months ago he
discovered that his teeth were becom-
ing longer and more prominent. He
consulted a dentist, who advised him
to have them trimmed: He did so, and
soon after they began to grow faster
than at first. He had them sawed on
again, but they continued to grow.
The best doctors were called in, but
none can tell the cause Of this strange
affection. At this time his teeth are
almost an inch long and are turning
backward in his mouth, SO that eating
is difficult; hence there are fears that
the disease may result fatally.
