British Isles Bone Dry
 In 10 Years, Prediction

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Voting on the prohibition question in Scotland haa been going on in the more remote 3 districts for a month or more and the final result will probably not be known for several days yet.
 The latest returns are: 196 locaii- ties for no change in the present system; "A for limitation of saloon licenses and 23 for the abolition of existing licenses.
 W. E. "Pussyfoot" Johnson, the American "dry" campaigner stated to an interviewer at Bradford the other day he was very satisfied with the results SO far, which means the closing down of 292 saloons in Scot land.
 Asked how long he thought it would take to make Britain dry, Mr Johnson said he believed England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales would be bone-dry in 10 years.
 The Cambridge Union. the well known university society, held de- bate the other day on prohibition and voted against prohibition 2l1 to 203.

new THEORY IN ASTRONOMY
Possibility That There Is a Tall At
tached to Our Earth Leads to
Ingenious Suggestions.

= Opposite to the sun there is very
mysterious glowing patch which is
thought to be. attached to the earth
as a cometlike tail. y ! %<s.A ~sss.
The, highest regions Of our atmos-
phere consist Of very light gases, and
the impression is that some Of these
were driven away by the sun or by
other means, and that they stream Off
from the earth into space just as the
light gases do from the head Of q
large comet. .", i. r..
p Naturally, this theory has aroused
much controversy, and has led to all
sorts Of ingenious suggestions. One
of these is that swarm Of meteors
,(of the kind we know as shooting
stars) keeps us company through
space at a distance Of about million
miles, or four times the distance Of
the moon. But a tailed earth is an
ideal vehicle for imaginative flights.
1t might be argued that II our globe
has a tail why. should not the planets
Mercury and Venus, and even Mars,
have one. Well, perhaps they have,
for all we know to the contrary. Our
earth's tail would be much more
easily seen by us because Of its near
ness and brightness. .. ....l.- :,

NO: SUBSTANCE TO DREAMS
Writer Gives Reasons for Her Refusal

Superstitions.

normal person during waking hours
reason. controls it and when it seems
inclined to let loose. q foolish train
Of thought rebukes it with Nonsense

goes to sleep the mind has seasons
of wild capering. 1t makes you do
things that when awake would scorch
you with bushes. It causes you to
60 to church dressed in your very
best except your shoes and stockings,
which you find you have left at home.
It makes you marry q dark man with
big black whiskers when you already
have a perfectly satisfactory husband
who Is blond and smooth faced. There
is nothing that it will not do uncon-
trOlled by reason. Therefore never
have had much faith in the prophetic
quality Of dreams, although there are
persons who pin their faith to those
so-called warnings. We have heard
them say. II dreamed last night that
I had lost tooth. That means bad
news" or II dreamed Of walking
among ruined buildings. That means
that somebody in the family is going
to be ILL.," and, like fortune telling, the
predictions that do not make good"
are forgotten. ~--. 49, -

ROBS OTHER BIRDS OF PREY
"Frigate Pelican" Secures It's Food
Chiefly by Forcing It's Weaker
Brethren to Disgorus.

The frigate bird, also called the man
0f-war hawk and the "frigate pelican"
Is sen bird, SO called from It's attacks
on other birds. This bird, very large
and with black plumage, Is capable OF
very powerful and rapid flight. It
sometimes measures ten feet from tip
to tip of its extended wings. On ac-
count of it's immense extent of wing
and its dashing habits, it has been
called the swiftest bird that sweeps
the seas. 9.- <sE5sz.,.:
The frigate bird is a tropical sea
bird Of two species. The larger ranges
all round the world within the tropics /;
the smaller is found only near the
eastern seas from Madagascar to Mo-
luccas and southwark to Australia.
Both species breed in large colonies,
building their nests on rocks, high
cliffs or lofty trees on uninhabited
islands. The birds often fly far out
to sea, but most of the time they re-
main near shore.
The frigate birds aerial evolutions
are extremely graceful and it scars to
great heights. 1t is said never to dive
for its prey, but to seize fishes only
when they appear at the surface or
above it. Flying fishes form a great
part Of it's food. This bird Of prey also
pursues gulls and terms and eats the
fish it forces them to disgorge. The
male acquires under Its bill a bright

Oldest Crown Jewel a Sapphire.

Only a few OF the early British
royal jewels survive in the present
regalia. The oldest Of these Is the
sapphire Of Edward the Confessor,
which was originally set in his coro-
nation ring. It was buried with him
in his shrine in Westminster Abbey,
but in 1101 the shrine was broken
open and this and other jewels re-
moved. The sapphire is in the cross
on the tor. Of the kings state crown.
Legend has it that st. John once APP
peared before the Confessor as pill
grim, and that the monarch gave him
the ring, which was returned later.
The stone is reputed to have the pow
er Of curing sciatica and rheumatism,
but has not been used for this pur-
pose recently.
