Ell fin del mundo

No es verdad 10 que Sc Ia dicho a
prop6sito de que el dia II de -diciem-
bre siete planetas ejerceran una acci6n
conjunta sobre ell sol, y que seis de
ellos (Mercurio, Marte, Venus, JIpi-
ter, Saturno Neptuno) estaran en-
conjunction, EN- pelot6n fernando una
"Liga de Planetas", semejante a Ia
"Liga de Naciones" que predic6 nues-
tro Presidente, congregandose en- una
proximidad de 26 grades.
No es cierto, repetimos, porque> la
distancia angular de los SETS planetas
mas pr6ximos la Tierra sera de 90
grados sea mas del cuadrante del
circulo celeste, entire Las 8 horas 20 mi
nutos y las 16 horas y minutes.
Y ivaya una casualidad curiosa! Esa
gran catastrofe que Sc anuncia para
Diciembre, debida una conjunction pla-
netaria, 81 fuera cierta la ley EN- que
Sc funda, el mundo hubiera tenido que
finalizar ell 81 de agosto pasado, las
tres y ocho minutes de la tarde; porqus
en- dichos nomentos La posici6n de los
principales astros fue la siguiente:

FL Sol, 10 horas 1s minutes.
Mercurio, % hOras 80 minutes.
Venus, IL horas 35 minutes.

Sumar una diferencia de tres horas,
que abarca unos so grades, es decir, po-
co mas de medic cuadrante de circu-
10. Muy rara vez Sc ha efectuado una
agrupaci6n de planetas como esta. Ade-
mas, Ell sol tiene ahora dos manchas muy
notables en- el borde oriental. iIabra

Will Investigate Explosion

The starch mill explosion at Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, in which a score of
lives and 100000 worth of proper
ty were lost, and which possibly
could have been due to dust eXplo-
sion, is to be investigated immedi-
ately by chemical engineers of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, who are working to devise APP
pliances and methods for the proven
ton of disasters in mills where any
kind of plant dust is present.
The devices and methods worked
put for the prevention of grain dust
disasters have proved successful, &C
cording to officials of the depart
ment's bureau of chemistry, and
should be applied as soon as pos
sible in all industrial enterprises pro-
ducing inf1ammable dusts.
The campaign against grain dust
explosions was begun in November,
1917, with a fund provided by the
emergency food production act. Since
that time not a single fire or eX-
plosion of great magnitude has oc-
Cured in grain mills or elevators
upon which attention has been con-
centrated. Previous to the begin
ming of the campaign there were
from one to eight large disasters an
nually in grain mills or elevators. In
the eighteen months preceding the
campaign six disastrous dust eXplo-
sions and fires in mills and elevators
alone killed SO persons, injured sixty
others, destroyed IL million BUSH
els of grain and over $8,000,000 worth
of property. Efforts have also been
made to reduce fires in cotton gins.

Enormous Cloud of Gas
Seen on Sun in Eclipse

Announcement of an unusual.
celestial phenomenon, an enormous
cloud of gas gathering on the east
ern edge of the sun, was made LIST
week from the Yerkes Observatory
of the University of Chicago.
It was announced in connection
with the total eclipse of the sun
at a. m. Thursday, Central time;
which was visible in Brazil and
equatorial Africa. The gas cloud,
said Professor F. B. Frost, OF, the
Yerkes Observatory, must have
caused a brilliant spectacle where
the total eclipse was visible.
This cloud was first observed two
days ago. 1t has grown to one of the
largest of it's kind ever observed
at Yerkes, where it is said to be
now entirely detached from the sun
and to extend for about 100000 miles
in an arc along the suns edge, prob
ably $4,000 miles away from the
edge. The distance from the sun
to the top of the cloud is estimated
at 100000 miles.
A sun spot was visible beneath the
cloud on the suns edge.

A hospital, completely built by
the physician who owns it, has been
completed at Hastings, on the Hud-
son. 1t was not merely built by
the physicians money, but literally
by the physicians own hands, and
is a monument to his determina-
ton, for he undertook it after he
had failed to raise enough money
by subscriptions, and kept at work
unaided, for three years, until yes
terday when he finished the job.
The physician is DR.. Gedney jerks.
Several years ago, DR.. jerks started
a movement to raise funds to build
a hospital, but owing, it is said, to
political opposition, he was unable
to raise the necessary amount. There
upon he began to build it himself
in the 0linda Park district. The work
was done by his own hands, except
the occasional carrying of heavy
beam, when he was obliged to call
in a laborer to help. The hospital is
complete and modern. 1t is a two

That a black cat is an omen Of

persons, but there are no stronger
supporters of the theory than the
. residents of Fairview, Mo, who saw
, J., S. Price killed in an automobile
accident just short while after a
black cat scurried across the road in
front of his car.
a., Price, his brother and a friend
were returning from Joplin to Fair
s view when the cat jumped across the
road The friend Immediately de-
clared that it was a sign of bad
luck, but Price ridiculed the state
ment. The friend, however, insist
ed that if Price would not change
his route he wanted to be let out
of the car so the machine was stop
ped and the friend climbed out.
Soon afterward, a wheel of the au-
: tomobile broke, causing the machine
to pitch against telegraph pole,
and Price was so badly injured that
fa died later at the hospital.

Detectives Claim That Murdered Man
Was Sewn in Hide and Fed to Wolves

The remarkable theory that Ed
Breiten, Texas rancher and cattle
man, was murdered somewhere on
the Hondo ranch and that his body
was then placed inside the carcass
of a freshly-killed steer and thrown
where the coyotes and the buzzards
would destroy the last trace of it, is
advanced by private detectives vino

of Breiten's disappearance for
mont
Mrs. Breiten employed detective
named Hayden to investigate her
husbands disappearance, being firm?
ly convinced that he had been muir
dered by rival cowmen, and Hayden
went to the Hondo ranch to work as
a common laborer. After remaining
there several months, he ordered the
arrest of Bill Ike Babb and his sons
Walter and Boyce, and his son-in-
law, Will Wise, making the startling
claim that they nd murdered and
disposed of the body by the method
stated. This was common prac-
tice in the old days, says the detec-
tive, when a body had to be dispos
ed of; and he declares he has suff1-
cient evidence to prove that it was
used in Breiten's case,
Charge Denied
The Babbs Indignantly deny the
charge, and say that the constant in
vestigations connecting them with
Breiten's disappearance has resulted
in every crime committed being laid
at their feet.
Hayden says when he was ready
to begin working on the case he
went to the Hondo ranch dressed as
a common workman. He had rough
ed it for some time and looked the
part of an ordinary rounder More
than that he pretended to be both
deaf and dumb. The Babbs, Hayden
says, readily gave him work and
since he was supposed to be deaf
and dumb, paid but little attention
to him.

ed affiiction he had access to the

And her re-education to treason be-

Here was one prisoner whom the
Huns treated kindly. They needed
pigeons, and they showed Marie
mercy not accorded to human cap
tives. They fed her real birdseed,
not the "Ersatz' kind, and they
talked to her in Hunnied words, tell
ing her that the kaiser was a kind
gentleman whom the cruel French
had plotted to mistreat, and that the
barbarous allies were no fit asso-
ciates for a feathered lady of kul-
tur.
But somehow, kultur stuck in
Marie's craw. She stood squarely
on her own pigeon-toed feet and
didn't swallow all she was told.
The Germans took her far behind
the lines and set her to work carry

nearly four years, until even the
Huns were fooled into thinking her
conversion complete. But evidence
indicates she was merely reading
