yers have informed me that Jessie is asking for
substantial sum of money before she consents to
divorce me.
But the story of my experiences in that fantastic
world that lies behind the scenes of musical COM
edy show does not pretty Jessie Reed alone
The most interesting phases of that mad and merry
year have to do with the celebrities that met during
that time and the intimate details of what goes on
behind the footlights-thngs that my readers little
suspect and will be greatly surprised to learn
Within those few spendthrift months OF insa-
table folly was host to the most celebrated stars
Of the musical comedy stage. Singers, actresses,
dancers and the best known bon yvants of American
socety-I met them all. More than that, they were
my intimates during that reckless year. They drank
my wine dined sumptuously at my expense and
danced at the gay parties at which was the one
and only" the jolly good fellow which no one could
deny. :.
There were darker aspects Of that year, incrcd
bic dissipatons involving some OF the most prom-
nent in the country and some OF the most cele.
bIated women; opium parties, hasheesh parties and
days and nights of debauch in the most luxurious re-
sorts in America. And propose to tell the whole
story as a warning to those people whose illusions

circle of profigate millionaires and their beaut-
full companions of the musical comedy stage. OF
course, the principal event was my marriage to
Miss Jessie Reed, the empress Of thousand
hearts in that bizarre world behind the scenes
But long train of lesser events made that mar
riage possible.
The story really begins from the time that William
Mckinley, then President Of the United States, put
his hand on my forehead and told my father his init
mate friend that destined to be the next Pres
ident from Ohio. was then three years old,
and my father prominent figure in national
politics.
Perhaps my father believed the Presidents smil-
ing prophecy, for he frequently mentioned it in the
years that followed and he seemed gratiicl that he
had named me for himself 1t may have been to
further that dream that he left 81 ,0o0 900 at the
time of his death few years aftcrward. If that is
true, how sadly his ghost must have contemplated
the use made of my legacy during my short career
as the husband of Jessie Reed.
1t is true that did not spend all of the million
on Jessie and her show girl friends but that was be-
cause could get my hands only S250,0 900 of the

In the same year Mr.. Alvin Duerr, principal of

rather spectacular manner to the sights of New
York.
My father was dead then and my mother was

Smithsonian institution. just Issued, discusses recent efforts at utilizing the energy of the sun more directly. Almost all of the energy available on the earth comes directly or in- directly from the sun. Thus far the cost of the apparatus for using the suns energy directly. or nearly so. has been so great in proportion to the power developed that there IS no competition in general with the ordi- nary means of getting the suns en- ergy Indirectly through coal or wa terfalls. Solar engines are as yet merely interesting experiments.
 The volume describes the results obtained with Abbott,s great solar cooker located on Mount Wilson. Cal. This cooker represents anoth her of many attempts to cook by the heat of the sun in manner more direct than the usual. Whether we use gas, coal Or electricity. / heat or energy comes originally from the sun. In thls cooker a mirror of polished aluminium in the form of para bolic cylinder con /ntra \ s the heat which falls upon it on a tube in it's axis. Thi stube contains oil which has high boiling point. This tube Witn & N'Ilk NOHlaiHiHk about 40 gallons of oil. This tank Is insulated to make 1t retain the heat after the manner of thermos bottles. The oil in the tank surrounds the ovens The heating of the oil by the sun keeps 1t in circulation and thus the oil In the tank becomes hot. Records show maximum tempera- ture of the oven of 300 degrees Fah- renheft and a temperature early in the morning, which must be nearly the lowest. of about 194 degrees.
 "All varieties of baking were high ly successfully done. though requlr- ing somewhat longer time than ordi- nary, owing to the rather low oven temperature. Cooking of meats and vegetables was exceedingly satisfac- tory"
 This, too. is but an experimental device. The cost of the apparatus Is not stated. but 1t must have been considerable. The mirror measured 10 feet long and ' feet wide. The experiment suggested improvements. and improvements may in time make solar cooker of practical value Such a device is useless In places where cloudy weather prevails.

On October 10 1t passes the star. and after this Is west of the star. Throughout the month 1t Is very close to the star, and can be confused with nothing else. The planet continues to move very slowly westward until Mo- vember 19. when 1t Is stationary. It then moves eastward and passes the star again December 29. Through out this period the planet Is never more than 30 minutes of arc from the star, and Is easily located at any time in this way. The motion in October Is shown on Figure 9. Uranus Is still below the equator. but each year now finds it farther north and in better position, for

This star is also shown -l Figure 2. Uranus lies almost halfway between the southwestern star of the square (Markab by name) and Fomalhaut.

 Perhaps the best known feature in Aquarius Is the group of stars at B, which forms a rather poor letter Y. This group is called the Y or Wye Aquarius. Aquarius means the water carrier. The group of stars represent the jar from which he is pouring water. Hence they are also. known as the water jar. Four Of the stars form a parallelogram. The oth-.

Jupiter and Saturn are now too close to the sun to be seen. The sun passes Saturn October and passes Jupiter October 20. After these times they are morning stars. Mercury may be seen in the morning just be- fore sunrise low in the east at the end of the month. Venus may be seen low in the southwest in the evening twilight. The planet Is at its bright est october 20, but It's low altitude renders 1t less conspicuous for us than 1t was several months ago. Mars may still be seen in the early eve ming. It's position and motion are in- dicated on the manp. Figure 1. The planet continues to decrease in brightness with it's increasing dis tance from the earth.
 Uranus
 The position of Uranus is marked on figure l. This planet Is now of magnitude about 6.1 and is just a little too faint to be seen with the

northern observers. Its motion is quite slow.
 CaprfcOrnus
 Just west of Aquarius lies Capri cornus. another poorly defined con stellation of the zodiac. The stars in the eastern part of the constel- lation form ( letter V lying on It's side. It seems more natural to as- -sociate with them a star from Aqua rius to form a Y. At c Is Alpha Cap ricornji. Here are found two stars very close to each other as seen with the naked eye but far apart in tele- scope. They are sometimes called a naked-eye double star. Astronomers do not include such stars as double stars. No star whose componenvs are sufficiently separated to be dis tinguished with the naked eye are
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-10-01

classed as double stars. The eastern star of the two, when viewed with large telescopes, is seen to consist of three stars. Mars will be in Cap ricornus at the end of the month. During November it moves through the constellation, as indicated in Fig ure 2.

The planet has just passed its apposi- ton and is, therefore. nearly at it's least distance from the earth, 1,S60.- 000,00o miles at the first of the month. It Is therefore brighter than usual The planet Is very near a naked eye star in Aquarius. This makes it very easy to find the planet and to be sure that the right object is identified as the planet.
