was once enormously larger than it
now is, and that the planets originally
formed part of it's distended mass.
Even in it's diminished state, the
sun is huge beyond easy conception.
Our own earth, though so minute a
fragment of the primevaI sun, is new
ertheless SO large that some parts of
it's surface have not yet been explored
Seen beside the sun, by an observer on
one of the planets, the earth would
appear as an insignificant speck,
which could be swallowed with ease
by the whirling vortex of a sun-spot
If the sun were hollow, with the earth
at it's center, the moon, though 240 900
miles from us, would have room and
to spare in which to describe its or
bit. for the sun is 100000 miles in di-
ameter, so that it's volume is more
than a million times that of the earth
But what of the stars, proved by
the spectroscope to be self luminous,
intensely hot and formed of the same
chemical elements that constitute the
sun and earth? Are they comparable
in size with the sun? Do they occur
in all stages of development, from IN
fancy to old age And if such stages
can be detected, do they afford .indi-
cations Of the gradual diminution IN

sun to experience?

/ fend themselves against it in like
manner as we have been attacked
1t is necessary that we begin prop
uganda against products made IN
North America, which in large num-
/ bers invade our market and among
other things we must collect propa-
ganda with such notices as this: DO
not use American articles Be patri-
otto and do not buy Yankee products,
for they do not consume Cuban sugar.
DO without unnecessary pleasures,
especially if they are made in the
United States ETC., etc.
While the translation may be bit
crude it sufficiently indicates the
state of mind of the editor of La
Noche
In all probability, some Cuban Wis
iting in this country, has at some time
and in some place discovered plac-,
ard on a private establishment advis-
ing people not to purchase Cuban
sugar, but that there is any general
movement anywhere in this country
Ito discourage the buying of Cuban
products may be denied with all au-
thority. The United States is largely
dependent on the sugar crop of Cuba.
This country does not produce enough
sugar to supply its own needs and Gu
ba is practically it's only source of
supply for the surplus it demands. 1t
would be the height of folly to urge
that we do not purchase a. commodity
for which we stand in such great need.
And it is not being done.
Neither is there any propaganda in
this country directed to the discour-
aging of the purchase of other Cuban
products. On the contrary, everything
possible is being done to extend the
trade relations between the two coun-
tries.
La ,Noche is i'll advised. Somebody
mas mlsinformed that paper as to the
extent OF the so-called propaganda
against Cuban products, and it need
not further it's own i'll advised propa-
ganda against us on that account.

Magazine and Book
Notes

If all the readers of this column
We're bookworms, they might know off
hand just which books were taking
the lead as best sellers each month,
or at, least which ought to be, and
why.
But in the present era there are ten
thousand books published each year,
and an interchangeable satisfaction has
just figured it out for me that if you
were to read steadily for IS hours a
day at what is considered the nor
NAL" rate of reading speed, it would
take you nine years to finish one years
output. And that if a fifteen year old
boy were to settle down in the New
York public library and commence
reading through in alphabetical order,
he'd be 10 years old and badly in need
of a shave before he reached the
Aztec Influence on Modern Dancing"
Therefore be it resolved that we
present in this column every other
week the list of best sellers for the
preceding fortnight. Beginning with
the past two weeks: bookstores in
principal cites throughout the country
report the following as the six best
sellers for that period:
1. Main Street, by Sinclear Lewis.
2. The Kingdom Round the Corner,
by Coningsby Dawson.
3. The Sheik, by E. NJ. Hull.
4. The Briming Cup, by Dorothy
Garfield.
8. The Pagan Madonna, by Harold
McGrath.
6. The Mysterious Rider, by Zane
Grey.

ICY
The new policy is said to be linked
with the policies of Great Britain and
Japan, though just how is not exactly
clear. There is talk of a possible
working agreement between Great
Britain and the United States, for the
policing of the waters of the world. by
which the British navy will confine it
self mainly to the Atlantic and this
country to the Pacific.
Policing the Pacific has been con-
sidered by the British in the past as
primarily the task of the Japanese,
navy. If that function is to be trans
ferred to America, it is significant of
a very important realignment, with
Japan relegated to comparatively in
significant place in world affairs. Incl

country against any possible enemy

Are there surely inhabitants. ou the
 planet Mars?
 That is one eff the unsettled eues- tions, says Current Events. If the SO called canals" are really canals they
 prove that there are, or were, inhabit- ants surpassing those of the earth in social cooperation and engineering skill. Some assronomers, however, do not believe the strange lines are canals.
 They believe them optical illusions, some effect of the retraetion of light; or possibly rivers. or eraeks in the sur face. Though they look so straight and artificial. we must remember that we cannot from our distance see any thing less than forty miles square. and even the crooked Mississippi or the Nile might look straight under such conditions. Again, the comparatively smooth surface of Mars. seemingly free from hilly regions, might make natural streams straighter than they are on Ithe earth Assuming that the mark Eings are caused by water-courses, either natural or artificial, it is probable that
 what we see is not the water-course
 itself but the fertile regions bordering on them; and that does not imply cul- tivation. Some astrone0ers think Mars deadly cold, like the moon, without
 water or sir. and unfit to support life. Asked about ehe polar snowcaps that appear in the Martian winter and dis- appear inshe spring. these skeptical astronomers say they do not believe
 them te' be snow, but frozen carbonic acid gas. If this be true it indicates a temperature hundreds of degrees below zero,. too cold to support life as we on. the earth know life. In short, we do aot know whether Mars is inhabitable or not, and nobody knows.
