Birth OF a Star.

The vast black mass, 100000
times larger than the sun. demon
strated to exist in the heavens by the
Dutch scientist, DR.. Pannekoek, seems
to upset all earlier astronomical calcu-
latiOns.
1t is, comparatively speaking, so
near US thar Doctor Pannekoek sug-
gests that the sun itself must move
round It once in 100000 years-draw-
ing the earth with it.
We believe that the black body
must consist of dust, and that this is
the first stage in the birth of a star"
said an expert. "As it condenses it
gets hotter until it becomes luminous
and visible. Sudden flares or new
stars have been seen in our lifetime,
but the black cloud of dust appears to
be the real beginning.
THE amazing feature is the near
ness of the body. 1t is relatively as
close to the earth as a foot rule would
appear to be If only two feet away
from the eye, 1t Is quite possible
that even vaster bodies of this kind
exist" The nearness is relative. The
body is 2S0.OO0,OOO. 10000 miles away.

SAW her CLOWNS
Sick Child'S Life Saved by CeIe-
brated Comedians.
Action Of French Funmakers That
Shines "Iike Good Deed in
Naughty World"


The FTateIlini brothers. celebrated
clowns Of Me1rano general favorites
OF the Continentl. were recently the
heroes Of a singularly touching little
incident.
Il appears that the nine-year-old
daughter OF the Widow Collcourt. 81
Rue Francoeur. shortly after attend
ing performance in which the clowns
had appeared, fell seriously III. In
her delirium the child was obsessed
with the desire TO see them again
the marvellous buffoons who made her
laugh so on that evening Of happy
enchanment; she kept calling for
her clowns"
Months passed while the mother
stubbornly fought for the life Of her
child. and gradually the Illness re-
sponded TO the treatment The little
girl. however, remained sad, pensive
and lacking animation. The doctor
shook his head, puzzled and alarmed
by the child's hstlessness. "She should
have something to distract her." he
said
How entertain her? The mother
was far from being a wealthy woman.
Since, however. the child continually
spoke of her clowns" why should
she not go :, the Fratellini brothers
themselves, and ask their help? She
reflected that these celebrated artists
were good men who gave generously
IN Qh1 r5~v-. that ~hnx-
TO the hospitals to entertain the in
mates and bring them cheer. Why
should she not go TO them and ask
them TO help save her child?
The upshot was that two days later
the widow went to the circus and re-
quested an audience with the Fratel-
lini brothers. They were. at the mo-
ment, on the stoge: she could hear
their silly laughter as she stood in the
wings and waited. When, presently.
painting from their exertions. they
came tumbling of, she made her re-
quest hurriedly. stopping them, tears
standing in her eyes.
The three clowns are the fathers of
Il children, all told They promised
10 60 the very next day to see the
little sick girl. adding that it would
not cost the widow a penny.
And sure enough, the next day, ar
rsyed In their most gorgeous COS
tunes, grotesque, hilarious, altogether
marvellous, they enacted from full
hearts before the little invalid their
most fantastic sketch, singing and
dancing and grimacing. And the &C.
static child, mad with happiness and
with a new light in her eyes. clapped
her hands, laughing through exquisite
tears, and shouted: "Encorei En-
core ="
The clowns entertained her for two
hours; and when they left-quietly
and discreetly, as they had come
they promised to come again.
And that is the end of the story.
as the mother told il the other day
except that the little girl is well on
the road to recovery. The widow
came to the writer and related the
facts, very simply. And the story
seemed to the writer a very good sto-
~, indeed.-F'rom lie Petit Parisien

Circus to Travel in Motor Trucks.

An eastern circus organization will
tour the country this year in motor
trucks costing from $4,000 to $4,000
apiece. II is estimated the saving in
rail charges will go a long way to
pay for this equipment. The motor
lied circus will be able to travel any
where and. being independent OF train
service, may make towns not often
visited By large shows.

ONE OF THE LAST RIGHTS

Gradually the long list of matters, regarded as purely state affair,

right Wa, the regulation of commerce within the state. This of
course, carried with it The right to regulate railroad rates within the
states borders.
When the Interstate commerce commission last >upmcr gavn
railroads increased rates ON Interstate business, always held within
the commission, power. several states refused permission for sim.
liar increases in rate, for purely state traffic. This results iu con
siderable confusion. Interstate rates are higher than mtraStatc
twlthin u Statcl rates in some states. In some states one may travel
300 miles within the state as chcapy rs be may travel 200 mIc, If his
journey takes him across the state line.
Naturally railroad, suffered. They are not getting as mach Of an
increase a. they hoped 90 get. Naturally enough, too. they appealed

Lubomirsky had set forth in his note
certain reasons why particular dis
tr!s:s ct Upper Silesia should be as
signed to Poland and asked that the
representatives Of this government on
the supreme council. the council of
amba ssadors and the reparations COM
mission should be instructed to exert
their influence in favor of a settle
Dr,nt Of the matter strictly in accord
With I'll" treaty Of Versailles and the
reSu o. lhe recent plebiScite. Mr..
Ecghes replies that the settlement of
the boundary disputes is "a matter of
European concern in which. in accord
with the traditional policy of the
United States. this government should
not become involved" In accordance
with this attitude the American rep
resentatives in Europe will, $50 far as
at present may be seen. take no part
in the discussion concerning Upper
Si;cs:u and express no opinion as to
q 4ssticment.''
This position is strictly correct. The
SiIesian situation is more than a mere
matter Of boundaries. 1t involves the
possibilities of conflict between the
major powers. If the United States
were to intervene. even in a mediatory
capacity. it would find itself at once
involved in the present difficult rela-
tions between England and France,
which have been strained by the
Silesian revolt.
:ihe fact that the United States is
not party to the treaty of Versailles
in,rose on US an obligation to follow
TIE middle course between aloofness
ard Injurious commitments in these
matters Of strictly European concern.
The United States is not member
Of the league OF nations, and is thus
able to determine in every case its
degree Of responsibility and also its
limitation OF action. The American
doctrine" is plainly enunciated in Sec
retary Hughes note to the Polish min.
