OUT OF THE MELTING POT
Out Of the Same Elements.
Says Science.

Neteors have always been looked on
with interest by the sky watchers.
They swoop down on US startlingly
from some mysterious hinterland o.
outer space. We look with something
Of awe even today and wonder about
them. Are they messengers from dis
tant strange worlds? Do they differ In
some essential way from the substance
matter Of the earth3 Le
The answer is an unromantic no."
says the New York Evening Post.
Chemically, meteorites are often
composed Of iron, with some nickel
and smaller amounts Of other elements.
So far as the chemist can determine,
the iron in meteors Is just like the iron
In the kitchen range or the garden
hoe, and the nickel no different from
that In the Scent piece In your pocket.
It seems to be pretty definite proof
that our earth Is part and parcel with
the rest Of the universe and that all
the splendid stars are now or Will
some time be made up Of just the kind
Of chemical elements we find by
scratching the surface Of this little
earth.
There seems to be no doubt that all
Of the matter Of the universe came out
Of the same vast melting pot. Our sun
differs from giant Betelguese, at the
other end OF :he heavens, only In size
and holiness. The warmth and the
water and light on our earth are prob
ably very much like those on thou.
sands of planets swinging In the vast
spaces Of the Milky Way and, given
these same conditions. 1t is more than
likely that life is there also, and In
tellfgence and thinking. and wondering
about us as we think and wonder
about them.

How to Keep Children Happy and
Contented in Hot Weather

"Oh, look, dear, see that lovely
baby oriole!" exclaimed Betty's aunt.
a'Scuse me, Aunty, but it isn't an
oriole. it's redstar," returned Betty
after a momentary glance upward.
Betty was, at that time, only. a trifle
over four years old. -yrr.-.E..9 xvi. 81.
/ have repeated my little girls re-
mark merely to illustrate what I have
tried to do for my little folks during
the summer months, namely, to teach
them to know and love Gods won
derful out-of-doors.
Nature study with ones children is
the most delightful, healthful, and
helpful of summer pastimes. In or
der to get the most joy out of it, one
should go to the woods often; two or
three outings week are none too
many. However, one can study
birds in ones own yard, if necessary.
In our yard, with its many trees, we
frequently have as many as six or
seven varities of birds nesting in a
single season. We have feeding
table for them, which the children
keep supplied with crumbs, suet, corn
and other bird delicacies. There is
a drinking and bathing pedestal. The
cardinals, bluebirds, orioles, phoebes,
voodpeckers, catbirds, thrushes and
chipping sparrows visit this bathtub
daily, and the children never tire of
watching them.
Occasionally an unknown visitor
arrives. Then for the bird guide!
"Oh, mother, I've found out what it
is! See here, the picture Of it is on
page SO and So" Betty will exclaim
delightedly. Sometimes flock of
cedar waxwings stop with us for a
day, meanwhile helping themselves to
our neighbor's cherries. Once, early
in the summer, an orchard oriole
happened our way, sand another time
a flock of goldfinches. Each event
was hailed with delight by the child
rem.
Wild flower study, necessarily,
must be conducted in the woods or
fields or along the country roads.
frequently when the father of our
family has finished the days work,
we all pile into the car, and, with a
simple lunch, speed away from town.
The children are never happier than
when some flower, new to them, is
discovered, and must be hunted up in
the flower guide. They also love to
keep track of the birds they see on
each trip, and are fairly ecstatic if
they are treated to song by an in
digo bunting or brown thrasher. They
vie with each other in the length of
their lists of quails, bobolinks, and
scarlet tanagers, as well as numerous
other birds they never see in town.
The summer months go all too fast
for the family interested in nature

ILU[L IN Trading
IN BOND MARKET
Absorption of New Japanese
Issue Being FeIt-SmaII
Investors Favored.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 19.--Al-
though call money renewed today at
the moderate rate of AZ per cent and
time funds were unchanged, the tone
of the bond market was rather heavy.
Trading was comparatively dull.
1t was the consensus in investment
banking circles that. pending COM
pletion of the task of absorbing the
huge Japanese reconstruction loan.
the market would continue to move
the market to slacken its pace fol-
lowing. a large new emission.
Small Investors Lucky.
AS details of the new offering come
to light 1t develops that the small
investors got the best of the allot-
ment Of the new japanese bonds. In
the case Of subscriptions Of small in
dividual investors, the allotment
usually was 100 per cent, compared
with an average Of 60 per cent for the
entire loan. That unquestionably was
in pursuance of the policy of the syn
dictate managers In placing the bonds
where they would stay put.
Corporations obtained smaller pro-
portion of the issue than had been
supposed. allotments aggregating only
100000, according to bankers.
Corporations and large investors
are not ideal lodging places for new
bonds, as they not infrequently hold
them only for temporary investment,
whereas small individual buyers usu-
ally aim to hold their bonds until ma
tuirity. The bonds again sold at 9Ss,
or above the Offering price, today.
Swedish Loan Next.
The next foreign loan probably will
be one to the Swedish government.
However, IL one Is floated here it will
not come out until early summer. 1t
probably will be another dollar loan
if issued. The purpose of the loan
would be to stabilize exchange.
A feature of the market today was
the soft tone of Liberties. They were
from 6-l6 to SIS of a point lower.
United States Treasury ANS reached
to par. European bonds, especially
French descriptions, were steady In
sympathy with a. stronger foreign
exchange market.
Railroad Bonds Rally.
Low priced railroad bonds rallied
sharply. Seaboard Air Line issues
In particular were higher. Indus
trials were irregular. International
Great Northern adjustment bonds
higher on news that interest would
be paid at the rate of 4 per cent.
