Double Stars.

A double star is one which consists
of two stars lying close together and
revolving in an orbit. For some time
Professor Comstock, astronomer OF
the University of Wisconsin, has made
n particular study Of this feature in
the heavens.
4 new phenomenon is double star
which he noticed was that two bright
stars ''wobbled" and did not have the
usual steady appearance. At length
the conclusion was reached that this
condition was caused by dark star in
close proximity to the two bright stars.
Such situation was considered i'm
possible at first, but analysis revealed
that the two bright stars could thus
exist with dark star without break
ing down. Although the dark star has
never been seen, there is sufficient
nroof TO justify the belief that II is the
cause of this double stars peculiar be
havior. 1t revolves about the double
star about once in a little less than
twelve years.

EARLY RAILROAD FLlERS.

Hour Was Called Nonsense.
When the first passenger railroad
ever built was opened in England in
1925 the train Travelled from one end
Of the line to the other. Il distance of
twelve miles, in two hours. And Wood,
one of the best known writer's on the
subject of railroads at that day, wrote
as follows;
Nothing can do more harm to the
adoption Of railways than the promul-
gaticn of such nonsense as that we
shall see locomotives travelling at the
rate OF twelve miles an hour"
Today, with locomotives travelling at
the rate of seventy-iive miles an hour,
one can look at Woods warning with
a feeling of amusement.
In 1929 a locomotive was introduced
in this country, and in the following
year Peter Cooper experimental with

The flues of the boiler were made
from gun barrels. The boiler was
about the size of -four barrel

The life of mail bag is about six
years, but the rough usage to which
they are exposed makes many bags UNI
fit for repair. Such bags as still have
as 'pieced bags" Many are thus re-
claimed and returned to service.
The advent Of the parcel post made
it necessary to enlarge the repair shop,
because at times 1t was found impos-
sible to obtain bags from the con

the demand. A manufacturing fea-

discussion Of this paper will help.
There are possible, however,
some immediate improvements ip
the Lake Valley school. Fhe two
main causes of poor work here are
multiplicity of classes and irrega-
Ter attendance.
1T yonr teacher must hear from
% to 30 glasses day and they
can nit only The high places in the
required studies. There is no
time to do anything properly. Re-
.oitation, lesson arrangement, seat
work supervision. are all touch and
go affairs Drill Is almost ont of
the question. Discipline suffers
also. Children, to be kept inter.

league leader, fell back and ended the week only 10 points ahead of Boston.
 In the American, the Red Sox ap-, parently have obtained a lead which may again bring the championship. Five other teams, however, are still iL the race and ready to go to the top should Boston falter. At the end of play On Friday, Detroit, St. Louis, New York, Chicago and Cleveland were punched so closely that only four points separated the Tigers and the Indians, in second and sixth places, re- spectively. Only F points separated the two teams after Saturdays games.
 The Red Sox displayed few signs of weakening during the week. By taking three games straight from Cleveland their string Of victories up to five. They went down to a 2 to i defeat be- fore Dauss of the Tigers on Friday, and lost again Saturday to Detroit
 The Red Sox, although not hitting heavily are making each smash count. They are fielding well, and their pitch CTS, especially Ruth and Mays, appear in good form for the hard work ahead.
 New York is making a gallant eff fort to regain the lead, and up 10 Thursday the Yankees had won eight of thefr preceding home games. The Yankees met St. Louis Thursday and Friday and lost two of the three games
 
 day and moved into third place. AL though still without the services of Baker, the Yankees appear to have re- covered from their recent slump. They are hitting the ball hard, and, during the last week, won several games by batting rallies in the closing innings.
 The other teams, Detroit, Cleveland St. Louis and Chicago, did not do so well IS New York and Boston. but they are still in the race and fighting hard for every game.
 The Braves played the best ball in the National circuit during the week taking six straight games. They were 45 points behind Brooklyn at the be- ginning of the week, but narrowed Broollyn's lead to only ID points by the end of the week.
 The Robins are not doing so we'll on their western trip winning only three of the seven games during the week Captain Daubert is still missing from the Brooklyn lineup and Outfelder Jimmy Johnston was put out by a broken nose on Tuesday.
 Both Brooklyn and Boston play most of their remaining games at home. SC the closing weeks of the season hold nc apparent advantage in that respect for either team.
 Philadelphia lost four out of five games to Pittsburgh, and went into third place. The champions are not yet out of the race however, and may surprise Brooklyn and Boston,
 In contrast to its first western trip New York has won only two games on it's present incCrsion, and it's grip on scored only one run in their first four games of the week against St. Louis and Pittsburgh.
