Giant Sun.

Campus, the giant of the solar sys-
TEN, Is according to recent calculation
of Prof. w. H. A. Ellison, 40, 1000 times as
bright as the sun. Its diameter is 1874
times that of the sun; 1t is $4,000
times larger in surface, 100000
times larger in volume. The distance
of 1t from us, according to the same
authority is 4S9 light years.
Suppose" says Professor Ellis.
"that, instead of being at this enor-
nous distance, 1t were placed in the
center of the solar sytem, in lieu OF
the sun? 1t would then occupy eighty
five hundredths OF the space lying
within the orbit of Venus, and, as seen
from the earth, would subtend an angle
of about 20 degrees Of arc. Thus,
when Its lower limb was on our hori'
zon, It's upper would be within 20 de-
grees Of the zenith. Needless to say,
no life could exist on earth with such
q neighborhood."- Companion.

TANKS" FIGHT IN PAIRS

officer Of Nova Scotia
Battalion.

Kingsport, N. S.-A description of
the operation of British tanks" was
given by Lieut.. Harry w. Hlltz of the
Nova Scotia battalion on his arrival
here
There are two types of tanks,
known as the male and female tank"
he said. "They fight In pairs. male
and n female. The male tank carries
two heavy guns and six machine guns
and the female has two heavy guns
and five machine guns.
"They certainly proved great sur
prise to the Germans, and might add
to us rs well, as they came numbering
along during the fight for Courcelette.
They of course did better work then
than they have accomplished since, for
the Germans have become accustomed
to them and know better now how t.
fight back Nothing but direct hit
by heavy shell will damage them IN
the least"
Lieutenant Hiltz says the new Brit

three miles an hour and when It comes

GREAT PROTECTOR NOT VAIN
Records Show oliver Cromwell object
ed to Idea Of Having his "Effioy"
Stamped on Medal.

While the Armada medals may be-
regarded as the beginning Of war medt
ais In England, the true prototype of
the war medal of today Is held t. be
the famous Dunbar Medal" authorized
by parliament in 1850. 1t was the first
medal, as fur as Is known, to be issued
to oil ranks alike, from the humblest
soldier to the commander In chief,
There were two issues of the medal,
but on the diverse of both Of them was
q left profile bust OF Oliver Cromwell,
with battle raging In the distance. It
was no choice of Cromwell's that his
likeness appeared on the medal. In q
letter addressed to the Committee Of
the Army In London" he urges that his
likeness should not appear on the med
al that one side should show the par
lament and the other the army, and he
adds: Wherefore, II may beg 1t as a
favor from you, most earnestly be-
seech you, II l may do II without Of
Tense, that 1t may be so. And If you
think not fit to have 1t as I offer, you
may alter 1t as you see cause only do
think l may truly say 1t will be very
thankfully acknowledged by me, If you
will spare the having Of my efilgies In
It." Parliament. however, would not
hear of 1t, and the protectors "efligy"
Is made the prominent feature on the

Dangerous Cargoes.

A vessel with a cargo of poisonous
bulbs recently moored ut Hoboken,
About two years ago two stevedored
died as result Of unloading such a
vessel. They were asphyxiated by the
carbonic acid gas generated by the
bulbs In the hold. That led to the
building Of lattcswork pillars reaching
from the floor OF the hold to the deck,
these acting as ventilators. A British
doctor, writing In the Lancet, tells of
an experience of his In trying to re-
suscitate two Cinnamon who had gone
down into the hold of vessel laden
with oranges, garlic, soy beans, sugar
and cooked rice, and says the respira-
tion Of the oranges and garlic in the
lbssnce Of ventilation had replaced the
oxygen with poisonous carbon dioxide.

More Men Than Women.

Many more men than women end
their lives The tables show that the
highest rate for the male sex Is 2l.5
per cent and that the period Of life
at which this number Of men commit
suicide is between the ages Of forty
five and fifty-four. The highest rate
for women Is 1870 per cent, and the
favorite age for self-destructlon is be-
tween fifty-five and sixty-fOur.
Two boys between the ages OF five
and nine are on record as having
killed themselves In the period be-
tween 1904. Ten was the most
youthful age at which there Is record
Of girls having committed suicide, 60
having made away with themselves
between ten and fourteen years.
There were 4S,79s suicides In the
country between 1910 AM 1914.
As to seasons, the greatest number
of suicides appear to have occurred
in May and June, the rate for those
months being 9.3. The smallest num-
her occur In January-7.4.
Firearms were the favOrlte method
during the period under analysis, a.
432 persons having shot themselves.
Poisoning was next, with l3,995. Then
came hanging, with 1907; asphyXia-
ton, 1884; cutting instruments 3,142 ;

Highest Rates In Years Of
Great Business Depression.

New York.-An intensive study Of
suicide In the United States, with sta.
tistics analysing self-destructlon from
almost every possible angle, Is pub
lshed In the Spectator, Il weekly In
surnnce paper of this city.
The sections in which the greatest
number of suicides occur, the ages at
which the greatest number of persons
end their lives, the relative number
of self-killings of the present day as
contrasted with other periods, are all
analysed by the writer, Frederick l..
Hoffman.
The chief conclusion reached Is that
the suicide rate In this country, while
fairly high, has apparently reached
stationary level. That Is, II has
increased but tiny fraction during
the last five years over the five years
preceding.
An unexplaInable, or unexplained,
fact about American suicides Is that
they are far more numerous I'm the
western, Rocky mountain and central
regions than In the East. The further
West the Investigator looks, the more
suicides he finds.

show that the general suicide rate for
