Resolutions of Respect.

Resolved, That the Federation Oh
Women's Clubs of the city of Edgertor
mourns the death of Mrs. Clara Har-
graves Hopkins with deep sense of
personal loss and with grief for the de-
parture of one whose brilliant mind,
riches of heart, affectionate sympathy
and good cheer diffused pleasure and
happiness to all with whom she was as
sociated.
Mrs Hopkins was an ideal club mem
Der. Possessed of a trained mind, a
thoughtful appreciation of relative val
ues, originality, tact, enthusiasm and a
keen sense of humor, she inspired all
with whom she worked to give their
best to their various studies and activi-
ties of the club. Broad in her views of
life, she used her winning personality
to awaken interest and insure advance
ment in the many lines of literary, sci
entific and philanthropic work carried
on by the women's clubs of today. She
gave the various problems of local and
outside affairs serious consideration and
arrived at positive conclusions. She
was forceful and strong in council and
suggestion, but never arrogant or in
tolerant. Happy in the enjoyment of
a full life herself, she entered into all
the work and social affairs of the club
with animation and contagious spirit
of appreciation and enjoyment. How
we shall miss her cooperation, her
genial face, her pleasant smile, her
friendly clasp Of the hand.
Resolved, That cherishing her mem

Little Known of Shooting Stars.

Our knowledge Of shooting stars ex-
tends into the Oldest history of human
ity, back into prehistoric times. Yet
today no one knows exactly what a
shooting star is, or from where it
comes. An hypothesis proposed in 1875
and generally accepted today, is that
meteorites are fragments broken from
small planetary masses by volcanic eX-
plosions, brought about by sudden ex-
pansion of gasses, steam and probably
hydrogen. The broken bits, after their
separation, are believed to arrange
themselves in swarms which cross the
orbit of the earth in accordance with a
definite law. Shooting stars, then, I'M
dOubtedly come from within our solar
system and are broken bits of a world
body destroyed by volcanic events.
Many meteorites have been found in

Weapons of the Peruvians.

ancient Peru held the head Of his pa

exhibition in the foyer of the New York
Museum of Natural History. This is
the largest block of jade ever found

long, two feet wide and one foot thick

large enough to have furnished mate

AS this huge block was dug from a
