time to the work of the school.
The law school is introducing this year
for the first time the quarter system in
place of the semester system which has
prevailed heretofore. The advantages ex-
pected from the new system are more in
tensive work due to the easy maintenance
Of the continuity of the course and better
working out of the correlation of the vari-
Gus subjects.
Advantage has been taken OF the war
time dsarrangement to further improve
the library which is now in first class con-
dition and under the direction Of Pro-

Below Perseus, toward the north
east, rises the famous constellation
of Taurus, the bull, which contains
one of the best known subgroups
and cot1figurations in the entire
heavens, the Pleiades. Perhaps no
star or group of stars in the entire
armament has been mentioned Oft
ener in song and story than these.
They figure prominently in the
.nythologies and religions of all pri-
mitive peoples, from Persia, Babylon
and Greece to the Aztecs and the
Australian savages.
To the average eye the group
seems to consist of seven stars,
forming what might be termed a
small dipper; six of the stars are
easily seen, but the seventh may
be somewhat Elusive. However, it
can, be seen on good nights, and
even as many as II or Is have been
counted by people with sharp eye
sight. OF course, the telescope re-
veals many more.
The brighter stars Of this sub
group must be of tremendous lunt
mostly, for the group can not be
nearer the earth than 100000 as
tronomic units-10,000000 times 93,-
100000 miles. They must, therefore,

HAREM, RESCUES
HIS SWEETHEART
Greek Soldier Puts One Over
on Mussulmans at Smyrna
and Escapes With Bull
let Wound.

Athens. Sept. 2l.-Elentero Kar-
antaubulos, formerly a soldier in
the Third regiment of Greek in
fantry. is the latest hero of Corinth.
Elentero was betrothed to fas-
cinating Greek girl living at Smyr-
ma, from whom he had received no
tidlngs for three years.
On the entry of Greece into the
war, Elentero's regiment was dis
patched to Smyrna. :
Once there he sought in vain to
learn the whereabouts of his sweet
heart. One evening, entering a To-
cal cafe, he met another Greek. a
sponge merchant whom he had not
seen since his boyhood days. ~
The soldier told him Of the loss
Of his sweetheart whereupon his
fellow eountrynan intimated his
suspicion that the girl had been
abducted by Turks and lodged III
the harem of a wealthy pasha IN
the outskidts of the city.
Elentero was granted eight days
leave and, being of somewhat eff
terminate appearance, attired himself
in women's clothes.
His friend, the Smyrna merchant
then conducted him to small
bazaar at the rear of a mosque,
where a private exhibition was in
progress Of prospective harem in
mates
In due course Elentero was pur-
chased as girl by an agent for
5000, and subsequently sold for
Sl,75O to pasta, who placed him
in his seraglio. ..s
Two days after his admission
there Elentero met his sweetheart,
also prisoner in the same house.
That night, having chloroformed the
gigantic negro guard, he climbed,
accompanied by the girl over the
flat roof of the building to a pro-
jecting gable to which he tied a
rope. Along this he descended to
the courtyard below, fastening the
end OF the rope to tree.
His sweetheart then began climb
ing down, but she had not gone far
before shot rang out. One of the
pasha's servants, who was on night
duty in the garden, had fired his
revolver at the escaping youth.
At the report the girl, seized with
terror, chung with frenzied hold to
the rope. swinging to and fro fear
ing to descend further.
Elentero though wounded in the
shoulder, rushed at his assailant
and, wrenching his revolver from
him, shot him dead. Then he res
cued the girl who tainted in his
arms as her feet touched the ground,
and carried her to the street. There
the sponge dealer, accompanied by
two other Greeks, was awaiting the
fugitives.
! Elentero, of course, married the
girl.

rounded by a bright nebulous haze,
which is rather unusual for stars.
The Fixed Star Capella.
The word Capella means She
goat; we would hardly be inclined
to name one of the most beautiful
stars in the heavens after SO humble
domestic animal as the goat. The
he-goat is present in the heavens as
Capricornus, the Ram, and will be
found in the southern heavens where
Uranus is.
Of course, to the ancients, as still
to many half-civilized people today,
the she-goat is an important source
of food and therefore no doubt
worthy of having a place among the
stars. At any rate, Capella is the
fifth brightest star in the sky, the
third brightest visible from these
northern ATTITUDES and, next to Vega,
in Lyra, the brightest star north of
the celestial equator. Intrinsically,
it is calculated to be nearly 20 times
as great sun as our own. 1t is
a double star which is speeding
away from US through space at
rate of about 20 miles per second.
1t is pure white in color, and its
spectrum is practically the same as
that of the sun.
The Stars and the Weather.
The unusual weather of the past
summer and winter accounts, no
doubt. for the very large number of
inquiries received by us as to the
possibility of a connection between
celestial phenomena and terrestrial
weather. Thus far, in spite of many
attempts to do so, no connection has
been established between these two.
1t is not possible to prophesy the
weather from the positions or move
ments of the celestial bodies. While
philosophically it must be true that
all these phenomena have some ef-
feet, however slight, upon the earth's
physical condition, it is so small as
to be entirely absorbed by condi-
tons which may be called local.
Even the moon, upon which so much
is blamed, is innocent of any note
worthy effect upon our weather. It
is really very unfortunate, for moth
ing would be grander than to be able
to prophesy weather with the same
exactness with which the astron-
omer can prophesy lunar phases and
eclipses. -
