To Photograph a Star.

A discovery may be made photo
graphically by some astronomer this
fall or winter in the constellation Gem
mi. according to Isabel NJ. Lewis of
the United States naval observatory.
1t will be star of the fifteenth magni-
tude in an ellipticnl orbit and has been
difficult to find and identify because
in the Milky Way there are countless
others that are brighter.
The orbits Of all the planets ex-
cepting Mercury, are nearly perfect
circles, and discovery Of planet ex-
terror to Neptune that moves in n
greatly elongated ellipse will strike
one more blow at the nebular hypothe-
sis. which assumes. says Miss Lewis,
that the planets almost circular orbits
are due to the fact that originally they
were thrown off as rings from a con.
tracing solar nebula.
Irregularities in the motion of Nep.
tune indicate that the unseen planet is
drawing near to Neptune and during
this period Of conjunction astronomers
hope to determine the mass Of the new
body,

Safe Light for Miners.

Nowadays the up-to- date miner car
ries package Of electricity about with
him while underground. 1t is small
storage battery attached to the back
Of his belt, and is connected by a cord
with lamp fastened to the front Of
his cap.
The lamp, provided with reflector.
throws quite flood of light in front
of the miner. But its chief advantage
is absolute safety.
In olden days miners (who must, of
course, have light) carried about with
them open-flame lamps. These caused
innumerable disastrous accidents
through ignition of coal dust or gases.
Sir Humphrey Davy's invention of
safety lamp whose flame was protected
by wire gauze saved an immense
number Of lives. 1t is in common use
today, but the electric mine lamp Is
better and more convenient.

Worlds kepers.

The American secretary for the Mis-
sion of Lepers estimates that there
are not fewer than 100000 lepers in
the world, 6,OOO of whom have been
converted TO Christianity. Apropos of
this, the Hawaiian Legislature has Just
offered to pension Bro. Joseph Dutton,
who succeeded Father Damien at the
leper settlement on Molokai. Brother
Dutton has not been off the ldper
island for SO years and has spent S1O.-
600 OF his own money to relieve the
poor creatures among whom he lives.
But he refused the pension, wishing
no reward and expecting to work on
to the end In the cause to which he
long ago devoted his life. The world
has heroes of whom 1t rarely hears
and 1t cannot be otherwise than that
such self-sacrifice must win n higher
reward than governments or the plaud.

GREEKS HAD FORM OF TENNIS
That the Game Is an Old One 10 Sure,
but Its Origin 10 Hard
"a Trace

Discussion of possible changes In
the terminology of tennis naturally in
cludes the name itself; and here there
are many possible origins. The game,
In one form or another, is very old.
The Greeks knocked ball back and
forth and called the exercise "phen-
mis-" for which the Roman name was
'teniludium." "Phennis" and "teni-
ludium" were ancestors probably Of
the similar French sport in the middle
ages, and modern tennis may, for that
matter, have been named from the
province of Tennois, where this game
was exceedingly popular Possibly,
but improbably, the name is derived
from the French "tenez," in the sense
Of get ready" Deuce" is generally
accepted as another form of the
French "deux," but "racQuets" has
several possible sources, the most
likely perhaps being the old medic
val word "rachette," meaning the palm
OF the hand, when the game was
played like modern handball. Chaucer
and Shakespeare both knew the game
In England, and, whether or not they
played 1t. had doubtless looked on
with satisfaction, as did Queen Eliza
beth.

National Redwood Park.

A movement Is on foot in California
to turn the redwood forests Of that
state Into q great national memorial
park to serve as q monument to the
American war heroes. Those behind
the proposal feel that there are many
elements Of deep and appealing inter.
est In the proposition. As many OF
these giant trees were old when what
the world calls civilization was young
II Is felt that these trees Of the age,
belong not exclusively to any state
nation, or people, but are the heritag,
OF the race and should be preserve,
for the recreation and pleasure of ali
the peoples Of the earth. An additional
argument in favor of establishing the
National Redwood park is that it's es.
tablishment would ut once constitute
great and much-needed constructive
work of national conservation.

GUN COTTON BASIS OF SILK
French Inventor, After Long Study,
Has Evolved q Truly Wonderful
Artificial Product.

According to Count Hilaire, inventor
u artificial silk. which Is now pro-
,duced by vast factories in Switzerland.
Belgium. France. England and the
United States, 1t has for its basis moth
ing less than gun cotton. One of the
greatest problems he had to solve In
:Derfecting it for everyday use was to
render 1t nonexplosive.
The gun cotton under the chardon.
net process is first dissolved in a mix
fure Of alcohol and ether and then
spun through fine capillary tubes by
means Of hydraulic presses.
Other chemical processes give It in.
combusdble and nonexplosive quail
ties, together with the consistency and
the transparency OF the finest silk from
Japan or China.
1t took just 80 years Of the 80 which
Count Hilaire has completed to per
feet his discovery and render 1t of act.

The illustrious chemist and scientist
has just been elected to the supreme
honor of membership in the French
Academy Of Sciences for his discovery
Of how to put one over on the silk
worms. During the war he had been
decorated by the French minister Of
war with the Cross Of Chevalier of
the Legion Of Honor for discoveries
relative to the manufacture Of high ex-
plosives growing out of his researches
made primarily to render artificial silk

GREAT EXPONENT OF LIBERTY
Simon de Montfort, Earl Of Leicester,
Known AZ "Father Of English
House Of Commons"

The first great democrat In England
was Simon de Montfort. earl Of Leices-
ter. who was slain in battle 654 years
ago as the leader of the rebellious
barons. Simon de Montfort was also
the spokesman for the great. masses
OF the people. and he held that it
was the duty Of the mobiles to stand
between the people and the monarch
us guardians of their liberties, TO
watch over the exercise of the royal
power and prevent its abuse. In the
great battle of Lewes in 1864 the bar
onS, under the command of de Mont
fort. completely defeated the king and
the royalist party. In the battle of
Evesham on August 4 Of the following
year the tables were turned and the
democratic earl was killed and the
barons sustained ruinous defeat.
During the brief period Of Simon's as
tendency, however, he had laid the
foundation for the house Of commons
and had inspired in the breasts of the
people a devotion to liberty and dem
ocracy never to be stamped out by
royal oppression. Every king is ruled
by the laws" declared Simon de Mont
Tort, and he held that the generality"
should have hand in the making Of
the laws by which they, as we'll as
the monarch. were to be governed.
Simon de Montfort's immortal place
In history Is indicated by the rever-
ent title historians have given him
the Father Of the English House of
Commons"

were chiefly Italians and Hungarians.
They had lived at home on land that
was poorer than the Tangipahoa. They
practiced Intensive cultivation. Today
their parish is one Of the greatest
strawberry farming districts in the
United States.
Land that sold for SO cents is now
worth 500 an acre. And the school

will be slightly Handicapped because he
will not be able to use any freshman
in the battle. League rules prevent the
any Of the league engagements.
With the exception OF Captain osler
and Hallett, Haverford has no indi-

veterans, but Coach Young has devel-
oped excellent teamplay and he Is
counting on this to pull bis players
through to a victory.
Soccer is one of the major sports of
Haverford. There are many who are
advocating that it be made a major
sport at Penn. At present 1t is classed
as minor sport, but it enjoys the
privileges Of many of the major branches
