CAPITNLIZING DISTRESS.

An echo Of the strike scare comes
from New York, where. as i'm many
other localities. greedy ana con-
scicnceless people thought to get rich
quick by taking advantage Of what
promised to be an era OF great dis
trcss. Certain food dealers gambled
on the expected isolation Of the city
and held back shipments OF necessi-
ties when they expected TO unload at
famine prices. Ever since the day
when Joseph made his famous corner
on the Egyptian wheat market there
nvarlcious men have undertaken to
capitalize the nisfortunes of their
fellows. Joseph rose to the pinnacle
or national benefactor. because
without his foresight the rank and
file OF the Egyptians would have
starved No such motive, however.
can be credited to these Gotham
spectators They expected to make
big money because distressed pco-
pie would pay them eXorbitant prices
loI lnc ueCtSSa res OF ne. II was u
-blooded business proposition,
scheme by the side OF which the
famed contention OF Shylock seems
mild and mercful These folks fig
ured, OF course. that there was lots Of
wealth In tho city and thousands OF
citizens would not grumble at the cost
as long as they could get what they
wanted yet that does not take into
consideration the thousands OF poor
people who have a hard time AT best
they would have been left TO starve
In the midst OF wealth, Just because
these few enterprising merchants had
started out to make fortune. Ono
or the happiest features OF the calling
off OF the strike is the disappointment
OF these Spectators. who not only
failed 20 carry out their nefarious
scheme, but are now left with big
consignments OF perishables on their
hands that they are forced 10 dispose
OF at loss. But no one will question
tho poetic Justice Of such turn OF
affairs The public can be excused
for rejoicing when the bitter gets
bitten.

THE SPEED OF THE STARS.
Some of Them Travel at the Rate of
ZOO Miles a Second.

SO enormous are stellar distances
that casual observers of the heavens
would never suspect that the fixed"
stars, as they are often called, are ac-
tualIy moving, or rather rushing,
through the universe with Velocities
measured by miles per second and cx-
ceeding the swiftest flight of a can
non ball.
A few exceptional stars spoken OF
as runaway have the almost incon-
ceivable velocity of 100 to 200 miles
per second. Stellar velocities from
ten to twenty miles second are COM
mon, and many stars, especially those
mat are extremely faint, are moving
with Velociues more than double this
amount There seems strong grounds
Tor belief that a decrease in the
brightness of the stars is accompanied
by Increase of speed. The brighter
and younger stars are comparatively
sluggish and as a star increases in
age and passes its zenith of brightness
us luminosity falls away with cooling
temperature and its speed increases.
The dark stars, of whose existence we
now have many proofs, are doubtless
travelling through space more rapidly
than their brilliant neighbors.
How unreasonable must be the dis
tance that separates the stars from
each other and from us that they can
continue their journeys without inter-
fering with each others motions in the
least! 1t has been stated as a law of
stellar motions that the stars pursue
thelr paths through the universe in
dependently and uninfluenced in the
main by each others presence.

uple stars and systems like our own

1T is 4 LABORATORY WAX
German Chemists Depended on for
Success of Army ard NAVY.

That the German army and navy
are dependent to a great extent upon
German chemists is the assertion of
pr. A. de Neuyille, who has an inter-
esting article in La Revue on the SUD-
ject
rs result of the blockade" writes
Dr. de Neuville, Germany has ex-
pected great deal from its chemists
and she has not been disappointed.
Much has been demanded of tho
chemists. but they have thus far been
Vlctors over every problem that ha.
presented itself. We can assert with
conviction that every strategic victory
OF the German army or navy can be
traced to the efficiency of the German
chemists. In fact. 1t is admitted in
Berlin that this war is being fought
by the chemists. Not only has chem
istry brought into daily use many ar
ucles heretofore not even dreamed Of
m the way of food and necessities of
llfe. out II has also assisted in dou-
bling the product of The sol! and in
surlne good harvest even under mogr
unfaVorable conditions. For instance.
German chemists have found excellent
use for II hirtherto despised plants
that were never considered to be Of
any consequence. At the same time
IFCleSsOrS Dr. Foth and Dr. ParoW
of the high school Of agriculture in
Berlin, whose work became known at
the international chemical congress in
1912, devoted their time to finding
use for all the waste products of Bel
GUM, northern France and Poland.
Jhey have discovered n method of eX-
tracing oil from the sunflower. 80
that they are no longer dependenr
upon imports of oil from America
They havo discovered n substitute
Tor cotton In the manufacture OF
smokeless powder. Substitutes havs
also been found for wood pulp in tho
manufacture of paper.
Enough king cotton. as the Amer
leans term it, has not vet been pushed
from his throne, the German. chemists
have nevertheless made such progress
in finding substitutes that they hops
IN time to be entirely Independent Ior
America so far as cotton Is concerned
In fact, chemistry Is busy In GERMANY
IN finding substitutes for American
imports with tho object of being en-

Mr.. Slcvin's Good Day"

One day when Mr.. p. A. Slevin, as

in such case is translated through
space as single unit.
Collisions between stars are rare. 1t
is believed that the flashing forth of
temporary stars is caused by the
collision or near approach Of stars or
possibly by the passage of star
through dark or family luminous
nebulous matter, but within the last
two thousand years not more than a
score Of temporary stars have been
noted. So stupendous is the scale
upon which the universe is fashioned
that the millions and millions of
stars, nebulae and star clusters that
compose it evidently pursue their
journey onward ceaslessly and rap
idly with no deviation from a straight
line and undisturbed in the slightest
degree by neighboring stars.-New
