PLASKEII TWIN STARS.

What is declared to be the out
standing astronomical discovery of
recent times is described by Prof.
J. S. Plaskett, director of the Do
minion Astrophysical Observatory
at Victoria, B. C. Fifty-two billions
of miles from the earth is the
mighty star Plasket. An aeroplane
travelling 200 miles per hour would
require 10000 million years to
reach this star. Professor Plask
EFT descibes the strange properties
OF the twin suns of this planet.
They burn at a temperature of
10000 degrees Fahrenheit as they
whirl around one another. One,
the more massive, is Is times the
bulk of our sun, while the. lesser of
the blazing twins is 63 times heav-
lcr than Our solar monarch. One
is 10000 times as bright as the sun
the other $4,000 times as bright,
comparison that entirely numb the
imagination.
Plaskctt is more than five times
as large as any other known hcav-
cnly body.

MEASURES FATIGUE,

A German scientist, Professor
Hober, Of Kicl, is using the vacuum
tube to 'listcn in" on the opera
tionS Of the human body.
When the aid of the versatile
bulb that made the radiophone pos
siblc, he is able to measure human
fatigue. Every vital function, the
movement of muscle or a nerve,
results in the generation of an im-
intestinal current of electricity.
This is detcched and amplifcd un-
til whole class of students can
hear the noise producing in a tele-
phone by the movement of frogs
leg. AS the muscle becomes ia
tigucd the current, produced grad
ualiy, becomes weaker and the
sound fades away.

OLD CAVE F0upD.

The long lost cave from which
Saltpeter was said to have been OBJ
tanned for gunpowder used in the
Revolutionary War and the con-
illct of 1872 is believed to have
been found on the farm of NJ. c..
Hoye, at Anvil Rock, near Alder
son. This cave has been lost" for
more than rs years. The last al
tempt to locate the huge cavern
was made by the grcatgrandfather
OF Ira Lewis, whose ancestors To-
Gated about the time of the Revolu-
tionary War at the fort from which
the present Fort Spring took its
name. The aged man was so old
mat he had to be taken on horse
back to the vicinity where the cave
was known to be. But it could not
be located and its existance became
a mere local tradition known only
to the older residents and their inn
mediate descendants, to be recalled
only at infrequent intervals. Now
1t IS hoped that the legendary mists
VIII be brushed away and the cave
brought into the sunlight as far as
IT IS possible TO illuminate its
gloomy underground rooms and re-
ccSses. The discovery of the cave
on the Hoye place was made by ac-
cidcnt by George Vanhoy and Th'os.
Alartln, who in prowling around
found hole in the ground which
was covered with leaves through
winch calves had broken. Upon cX-
animation, they found il to be q
narrow entrance TO a cave. Euuin,
ped with lights they went down in
10 the hole. They remained in tbc
cave several hours and found cvi-
nences that other human beings had
khown OF the caves existancc.

NUMBER 46
AN OLD CLAIM.

A novel document, upon which
is based a claim on the Federal Gov
ernment for approximately $1,000
600, principal and accrued interest
on deposit Of $4,000 made in the
United States Treasury, in Phila-
delphia in 1895, was exhibited by
Major J. l.. White, retired ply
sioian, of Rowan county. North Car
olina. The document consisted of
an inscription on copper plate be-
queathing to the finder of the plate
the initial deposit and accrued in
tcrest. Major White said he found
the plate in Il cave in North Caro-
lima while taking refuge from
storm. The circular sheet of ham,
mcrcd copper bore the following
Inscription:

H. A. BARKELEY."
Major White said he found the
plate in 1914 and went to the North
American bank in Philadelphia
which took over the affairs of the
United States Treasury about 1912,
where, he said, he was shown the
treasury record where one H. A.
Barkeley had made deposit as
specified of the plate. The president
Of the bank told him the interest
and principal would amount to ap-
proXimately S1,000,0O0, but advis-
ed him to delay efforts to get pos
session of the money owing to un-
settled conditions attendant upon
the world war, which had already
begun. Major White said that he
did not need the money now but it
was a comfortable feeling to know
that Uncle Sam owes him 81 900 OO0
