When You "See stars."

The man who when struck violently on the head says he saw stars" is not far from telling the truth. The fact is that there is phosphorescent pow CT in the eye which does not attract persons attention under ordinary con ditions. but which is distributed and reveals itself whenever the head gets a sudden shock and sometimes even in the act of sneezing. A blow on the head results in pressure of the blood vessels upon the retina, causing either total darkness or faint blue light which floats before the eyes. and 1t Is in this faint blue light the imagination discerns the thousands of fantastic forms and figures that by general ac- ceptance ,,are termed stars; hence. while the astronomical display so ire quently mentioned may be said to be entirely creature of the imagination. there is at least some foundation for the idea,

TO RAZE CITY
 HUNDRED MILES DISTANT

LONDON, Dec. z8-A device which may revolutionize modern warfare has been invented and tested and will be ready for the market in q short time. It is an aerial torpedo and 'the men who have worKeG out the idea are Elmer A. Sperry, president Iof tho Sperry Gyroscope comrany of Brooklyn and his son, Lawrero- E. Sperry.
 Particulars of the newest and most c2s: rnctive ergine of death and the re suits of various tests were given by Lawrence B. Sperry.
 If carried out Oil a large scale, the Sparry scheme would make possible the destruction oe whole towE with Ia sinfle torped,> and the bomha q ment of cities as far as 1ra m';"s distant could be carried oa without tue loss of single life by the as 3aila it's.
 What the plan amounts to its this: An aeroplane complete with the ex- ception of landing gear, is construct ed and fitted with gyroscopic com pass and stabilizer. The torpedo. bearing anywhere from 500 pound to five tons of tri-nitro, ,toulumine. is set in place. From specially ar ranged launching cradle the craft is sent into the air.
 The direction to be taken by the flying bomb can be determined b! scientific calculations, and the syro- scope will insure true course.
 The stabilizer can be so set and |gauged that the plane will rise a any angle. At whatever height the adjustment of the stabiliezer calls fol the machine will automatically as. sume horizontal course, fly pre- determined distance along that % lrss and then descend at the desired all gle. The machine can be made tc take 8 perpendicular drop over a certain point. It can be launched from battleship as we'll as from the land.
 For example, if a torpedo were to be discharged from British vessel 50 miles from Kiel canal, the load of high explosive could be sent un- erringly among the vessels of the German fleet there, and the only pos sibility of defense would be the ex- ploding of the bomb in the air by gunfire. If the attack were made at night, even that possibility would be remote

 Journey to Manila.
 If you wanted to go from the Pana- ma canal to Yokohama which of these two would be the shorter route? First. across the ocean to Hawaii and from there to Yokohama. or. second. up along the coast to San Francisco aud then directly across the Pacific to Asia
 Nearly everybody would answer in favor of the Hawaiian route. But the navigators tell us the journey is 2G6 miles shorter by way of San Francisco. The great circle" does it. Its intlu' ence on distance sends ships from San Francisco to Manila by way of the Aleutian islands. Actually our vessels would 70 much farther north than they do but for the Encouragement of the United States Photographic bureau at Washington. which advises central route, more than 200 miles longer than the great circle. in order to escape the fogs and ice of the far north. ..,
 The Hawaiian Islands are frequently described as "the crossroads of the Pa. ci6c." Their people are naturally look: ing forward to wonderful commercial development They will doubtless en- joy substantial progress as a comnaer- cial center because many conditions in ocean currents and in prevailing winds and in fuel costs favor Honolulu as a way station route. But it is well to re member that these islands were plant. ed a little too near the equator to be crossroads of the north Pacific.-Ros. ton Herald.

lNDIA'S QUEER BELIEFS.

Buddhists Would bio Rather Than
 Lose Limb or Eat Meat.
 India's population is 325.OOO.OOO. Prac- tically all the races and religions of the world are represented. Ninety-eight and six-tenths per cent of the people cannot read or write. Four per cent of the inhabitants eat regular meals The remainder eat when they can and where they can. The average native in India lives on less food per diem than any other human being in the world Religious prejudices are in tense Men willingly die rather than submit to some dismembering surgical operation. for did not Allah command them to appear before him as they left him to come into the world?
 The Buddnists will not eat meat or take even a medicine derived from an animal. They died by millions during the bubonic plague rather than take prophylactic serum made from pepsin and beef broth-because the pig from which pepsin was obtained was un- clean to the Mohammedan and Hindu. and the killing of this animal and the bull from which the broth was made was against the tenets of the Bud dhistic faith. knew an editor in Poona, India, to absolutely refuse a $3OOO yearly advertisement of patent medicine because it contained pepsin.

A CRUSH OF WORLDS.
How Our Solar System May End and
 2 New One Be Born.

How Our Solar System May Eno ano
 2 New One Be Born.
 The whole of the present solar sys- tenn is ultimately to fall into the sun. causing an explosion that may result in d new solar system. Such is the theory put forward by Professor Philip Fuuth. a well known astronomer. whose reputation has rested principally upon his researches into the conditions on the moon.
 The novel feature of Dr. Fauth's the ory is that 1t Is based upon the supp0- sition that great part of the known solar system. including especially the planets Jupiter. Uranus and Saturn. are not composed of mineral matter at all. but are tremendous masses of ice or balls of ice surrounding mineral ker. nel. Furthermore. he declares. u part of what Is now known as the Milky way is not mineral or gaseous. but "a ring of ice dust" masses of particles of ice suspended in space. the other planets receiving a constant addition to their ice mass from this source.
 Professor Fauth declares that the world already at some remote periods has had similar experience. resulting in the death of nearly all animate na. ture, and that all species of life as we know it have arisen since then. Even. tually the planets swinging through their narrow orbits will fall into the sun. causing a new explosion and per hups the birth of a new solar system. but for thousands of years before that time. all life. either on earth or else where. will have disappeared.-kansas City Journal.

Tibetan Penal Code.

The Tibetan penal code is curious. Murder is punished with a flne vary ing according to the importance of the slain. theft by fine of seven to one hundred times the value of the article stolen. Here, again. the fine depends on the social importance of the person from whom the theft has been commit ted. The harborer of thief is looked upon as a worse criminal than the thief himself. Ordeals by fire and by boiling water are still used as proofs of innocence or guilt, exactly as was the custom in Europe in the middle ages. And if the lamas never infiict death they are adopts at torture.

HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Making Them is . Very Delicate ana
 Complex, Process.

Complex, ProcesS.
 Almost all the high explosives have cotton as their base. It is true that very good sporting powder can bs' pade from wood pulp: but. as tue ed. flor. of Nature remarks. 'the artillerist would be in great difficulty if he were provided with such q prOpellant. be cause in order to obtain any sort of regularity the nitration of the wood pulp has. to be kept at low point. and the ballistics. on which the artillerist depends. would be quite thrown out"
 High explosives are cellulose highly nitrated-that is. highly charged with nitrogen. This process consists of i'm mersing cotton waste uhat has been re- peatedly teasled. picked and dried, in a mixture of nitric and sulphuric &C., ids. in the proportion of q per cent sulphuric acid, Fl per cent nitric acid and 8 per cent water. After the acids have acted for the required time they are removed. The cotton is washed repeatedly and boiled several times in water. 1t Is then pulped. partly dried and pressed into molds.
 The manufacturer does his best to regulate his output. so that it shall con- tain approximately eleven molecules of nitrate to the quadruple molecule of cellulose. as shown ill the formula. or content of nitrogen that ranges be- tween 12.03 and 1905 per cent
 The process is delicate and complex. for the proportions of acids and water must be exact and all must be chem ically pure. Besides this. the cellulose must be of uniform grade, which Is a most difficult thing to obtain.

CONFRONTING LAW OF HEX

In the controversy with Great Brit ain over the rights of neutrals at sea the United States is confronting the Island Kingdom with a law of it's own making. As nation whose very ex- istance depends on unimpeded traffic on the seas. England has, by per fectly neutral process, found herself ranged on the side of neutral rights In most Of the naval wars of the past. Able, by reason of her immense war feet, to maintain effective blockades of the coast of her enemies, she has had a strong interest in declaring that a blockade must be effective to he recognized. Having maritime trad : ing interests greater in magnitude than those of any other two powers the right to trade with the immediate neighbors has often been of great importance to her, and she has se- dulously safeguarded it. The edifice of international law behind which the United States stands at the present MOM0uI IS Su0 sluSIoSduSO oA tAC rights of neutral commerce with 1eutrals is largely of England's own building. England has been power for good in her contentious with re- gard to the freedom of the seas, but this cannot obscure the fact that she most effectivly served her own interests by her contentious. Now she finds herself in position where the freedom of neutral trade with neutral neighbors of her enemies be- comes an indirect menace to her in- terest is now on the other side of the question invalidate positions she has previously taken or destroy the edifice built up by international agreement and practice under the stimulus of her aid and example?-Juneau En- pire;
