Astronomers Puzzled.

Some astronomers are of the opinion
that the moon was once upon a time
part of the earth, and that, while the
latter was In plastic state, our satel-
lite was thrown out from 1t. They
point to the Pacific ocean as the cash
from which it was rudely rent.
Maybe so. But nobody knows why
the surface of the moon, of which we
never see much more than half, is
covered with so-called "craters" that
bear no likeness to anything on the
earth. They are bOwl-shaped, usually
circular, and trimmed by cliffs 5000 to
10000 feet high. There are at least
$4,000 of them visible to the telescope,
the biggest being 500 miles in diam
eter.
The late Professor Pickering of
Harvard was convinced that the moon
has a little moon of its own, a few
hundred yards in diameter, which can
be seen only when the earth passes
between the sun and the lunar orb.

Who's Who7

In making the interesting portrait
collection of Americans earlier than
the eighteenth century, recently pub
lished by the Boston Athenaeum, the
librarian of that oldest history in the
New England capital had to take into
consideration the tricks that time has
a way of playing with the identity Of
ancient portraits. Several pictures Of
men and women who lived in the
original group of colonies were eX-
cluded because it is no longer possible
to say with certainty that the names
by which they are known are those of
the sitters 1t Is now known to be
more than likely, for example, that the
English poet, Charles Churchill, was
the original of the picture long be-
lieved TO represent the American sol
der Of King Philips war, Col Benja-
min Church. The portrait generally
thought to be that of Miles Standish
is open TO the suspicion Of really rep
resenting somebody else, and some Of
the surviving pictures supposed to
show the features of Roger Williams
have been plausibly identified as the
portraits of other persons.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
AothIng Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
10 Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase Strength, Nigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness,
Thinness and weakness are usually due
20 starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the OF Sanic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under q guarantee of satisfaction or money
back BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phos-
phate quickly produces q welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing.
This Increase in weight also carries with
Il a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness sleeplessness and lack or
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although o-phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness 1t
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
Who does not desire to put on flesh.

Flat VS.. Apartment.

Considering how many people live
in that way a journalist has done
useful thing In pointing out that, who
ever thinks 1t more dignitied, and more
the proper thing" TO say that he lives
in an apartment" rather than in
fiat" is making a mistake. "Flat" is
not new word. 1t still means, after
long period Of usage, "sulte of
rooms forming a complete residence
on one floor If the flat-dweller pre-
fers the possibly more elegant-seeming
word apartment" he must use it in the
plural. The man who speaks of living
in an apartment" says literally that
he lives in one room.

In the DAYS of the Bustle.

I was making a new dress for my
self. 1t was good many years ago, in
the days when we wore bustles. The
hustle which wore was n homemade,
crude affair. When fitting the dress
l had put on the hustle in order TO get
the proper hang to the skirt So, to
save time, | tied the hustle around
outside of my house dress, and then
tried on the new skirt.
During the morning / found it neces-
sary to go to the store, and while wait
ing in the crowded grocery for my
parcels, a friend, came up to me and
said to the amusement of the by
ISLANDERS: "Why, Lille, what have
you tied around your waist?"
| found l had forgotten to take the
hustle off, and had worn it on the
outside of my house dress all the
way to the store.-Exchange

In January, 1910, there were In the
