We change our position on the earth 1t is seen to very appreciably change it's apparent place in the sky. From this the distance in miles from the earth to the sun (which Is the unit Of distance throughout all astronomy can be de- termined.
 When the new asteroid was discov- cred it was at the point of it's path; it was thus well past it's closet approach to the earth, which occurred just one month earlier. The asteroid passes about its orbit in 4.3s years. so that every four years it reaches the part of its or bit which is nearest the sun. 1t is not, however, very near the earth except when the earth is near the portion of it's path marked A. The next close ap- proach will occur near the beginning of the year 1881. and it is at this time also that the little planet Eros, our nearest visitor of all. will approach us most closely. Soon after this time the distance from the earth to the sun will become known with a far higher accur- acy than ever before.
 1t should be added that though the new asteroid has been many times photographed during the last few weeks and though it has been examined with the largest telescopes no trace of the faint companion has been detected. It is as yet impossible to account for the announcement of the discovery. The companion may have real existence (the distance apart of She earth and the object is rapidly increasing) or it may have been an illusion.
 The new asterofd has now become ex- cessively faint-of only about the four teenth magnitude. When discovered 1t was in the position A. Figure 1, but its rapid eastward motion has now carried it well into Leo to the position B. It is seen so high above the ecliptic because the inclination of the orbit plane to the plane of the ecliptic is nearly nine de- grees. It is now moving southward

 THE PLANETS IN MAY


 Mercury is a morning star throughout the month. IL will reach it's greatest dis tance west of the sun on May 24. when 1t may be seen shining in the northeast for somewhat more than one hour before sunrise. It will again enter the evening sky on June 26.
 Venus remains in the morning sky until next November. It is steadily drawing nearer the sun, but it is still . very conspicuous object in the morning heavens. It rises almost due east about three and one-half hours before sunrise on May l. and this time Is decreased to two and three-duarter hours by May S1.
 Mars is on the meridian in the south in the extreme western border of the constellation Virgo. It's westward mo- tion ceased on April 26, and it is now moving eastward among the stars. It's distance from the earth increases from 76.000000 to 96000,0o0 miles during the present month, and it is but six-tenths as bright at the end as at the beginning. Even when faintest however, it is IT times as bright as a first magniture star
 Jupiter is moving slowly eastward and northward between the Hyades and the Pleiades. It may still be seen in the early evening, though it is beyond the borders of our evning map. It enters the morning sky on June 15.
 Saturn is moving quite rapidly eastward and southward through the constellation Cancer. By December D it's motion will tarry 1t within 30 secands of the star Regulus Cat c, Fig. D though st will be about degree north of this star. The two objects will then form a beautiful figure in the south, but after this date Saturn will begin to move westward again. The reader may remember that some months ago Saturn was nearly in a line with tho Twin Stars, while now it is f0 t<s fHeA nrf nf h iu sn in the morning heavens in the consteIla- tfon Aquarius.

The Man Who Smiled

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 The conversation at a social gathering in Washington turned to the lavish wed- ding presents that are occasionally giv- en by the relatives and friends of the bride when this little anecdote was con- tributed by Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Chicago:
 There was fashionable wedding in a western suburban town sometime ago, and that evening MT. and Mrs. Smith who were among the guests, talked over the events of the happy affair. T don't think I ever saw quite so many lovely presents" said Mrs. Smith. Everybody seems to have sent some thing"
 ''Yes,'' responded MT. Smith, they have enough clocks and cut glass pitch CTS to stock an auction room. Then there was that 5000 check from the brides father"
 By tho. way. Henry" interjected wifey, ''who was the man who smiled so broadly when he looked at that check?''

Lone: Prisoner
Taken By Huns
Made His Escape

France, Tuesday, Sept 12.--Roeks
and a steady nerve saved a. private
of an American division IN the Toul
sector who was taken prisoner by
German raiders recently, but who
escaped and returned. to his own
lines. 3D.,
The Germans were particularly
exasperated at losing the prisoner,
because they had vainly sought to
capture and hold at least one man
from the division opposing them,
but this one slipped through their
fingers. I'll.
The American was carried to the
German trenches after having been
surrounded. q Suddenly he broke and
ran. The Germans did not fire be-
cause they feared they might hit
each other. The American stumbled
into a shell crater and bombarded
his pursuers with rocks. One Of the
Germans leaped into the hole along
side of him, but the American killed
him with a trench knife, then rushed
from shell hole to shell hole until he
had reached the American lines.

lBv Associated Press. ]

With the American Army in
France, Sept. 12-Ameriean troops
Of all units have been instructed to
kill on the spot anyone who in time
Of battle urges surrender or attempts
to persuade them that further re-
sistance is useless.
+. These instructions, which origin
ated with a, certain division and
have now been universally adopted
because they proved so popular,
were made necessary because some
one in American uniform during a
German attack on Ffsmette on Aug.
q ran among the troops, calling
upon them to cease resistance and
declaring that the officers advised
surrender.
The instructions point out that
those statements were absolutely
false and added:
The person who spreads such an
alarm is either an enemy in our uni
form or, one of our troops, who is
disloyal and a traitor. or. one of our
troops who has become a, panic
stricken coward. Whoever he IS, he
should be shot on the spot"
