squirt the total this morning showing
actual cash on hand to be ~s1,527.07.
From present indications this city

quota is $4,000 and with but three
days to go, there seems to be little
prospect for gaining the mark. But
the committee in charge has not de-

that there would be a voluntary re-

The campaign is open until Mon

Wonders Of the Pole Star.

Most people, il they know nothing else
of astronomy, at any rate know the pole
star, the one star which seems to keep
its place in the heavens without move
ment of any kind. There are a great
many, however, who do not know what
a wonderful thing it is.
In the first place, it can be seen when
looked at through a good telescope to be
two stars and not one. There is one
fairly bright one, what is known as the
second magnitude, and another Of the
ninth magnitude close to it. But that is
not all. The brighter Of the two is real
ly three stars revolving around one an
other, or, rather, round their common
center OF gravity, like three children
playing ring a ring of roses.' This Sc
cret is revealed to us by what is per-
haps the most astonishing Of all scien-
tific Instruments, the spectroscope. 1t
not only tells III what the stars are made
OF, but whether they are moving toward
us or away from US.
When you stand facing the star you
are always facing the north. The rea-
son that it does not appear to move as
the others do is that it Is nearly in line
with the axis Of the earth. Its distance
from US is enormous. This can be
judged from the fact that although the
earth in its journey around the sun is
today about $50, 0Q4, 600 miles from where
1t was six months ago, that makes no
sppreciabie difference to it's distance
from the pole star. 1t m us therefore be
times 1870, 900, 600 miles away.
