 longs to the red star, Aldebaran, which is a sun like the sun, but vastly bigger. Astronomers reckon that it's surface temperature is round about SO,OOO degrees Centigrade, as com pared with the mere coco degrees that constitute the surface temperature of the sun
 But Aldebaran is so far away from the earth-nearly two million times as far from the earth as the sun-that its heat is not felt by man.
 The sun, on the other hand, is, so to speak, very close to the earth. It is a huge ball of incandesent gas, and it is the heat rays emanating from this gigantic furnace that burn your face brown in Summer after having travel led 92,000,000 miles through space.
 Astronomers say that if the suns radiating rays were focused on the earth it would quickly explode like bomb filled with gas.

Kickless Alcohol

~ HEMlSTS at the Massachusett. AvS Institute of Technology have
 discovered a kind of alcohol which does not have any exhilarating effects. According to Prof. James F. Norris, this alcohol, which is a product of petroleum, is unlike other alcohol in that 1t produces deadening effect on human beings. Its activity is now be- ing studied in an effort to find out whether it can be substituted for grain or ethyl alcohol
 "lf it can be developed sufficiently" this authority is quoted in the Path finder, "it may enable us to get away from that new large section of bootleg ging that lives by rectifying denatured alcohols. For not only are bootleg gers ignorant of any way to rectify this substance, but if they did it would fail to have the desired effect in a beverage"

Flavoring Fowls by Injection

w sauces" are ;, now used to
 W flavor the flesh of poultry. This consists of injecting with large syringe flavoring into the circulatory system of a fowl or small animal be- fore cooking it. so that the tissues may be thoroughly impregnated. It is de- scribed in Paris-Midi by Augusta Moll Weiss, as follows:
 "We have all heard of the method by which meats are bathed in some aromatic liquid for several days. Sup pose that instead of being outside the body of the animal, the flavoring liquid were inside; that is to say. sup pose that by some process we could soak it from the interior. This gives you the 'intra-sauce.' l might rather say the 'intra-sauces,' for we are told of several that may be thus employed, including the oil of garlic, estragon

brandy, mushroom juice, and, in gen eral, all good wines.
 "How can this result be attained? The author of the new process tells us exactly. Whether we are dealing with a hare, a partridge or an ordinary rab, bit or chicken, we begin by bleeding the animal from the neck, close to the head, so as to remove as much of the blood as possible; then it is deprived of its skin, or its feathers, according to the nature of the beast, and is left in the open air twenty-four hours.
 When properly cooled the neck is tightly tied, so as to close the carotid artery, and the body is so opened as to uncover the heart. Then syringe of large capacity is thrust into the left ventricle and the selected aromatic preparation is injected into the system It penetrates into all the muscles.

contention that rates should be fixed
upon the basis Of "faIr return

correct; and that the city's conten-
lion that rates should he based upon

incorrect.
Here is tho paragraph that is Of

with the Companys contention that

General Gales in Mexico was said
by critics 10 be over-cautious, too
prudent. deficient in tactical judg-
ment. In the present contest with
General Escobar. however. he seems
to need none Of these qualities. All
lie needs-and has-are the most
men, the most guns the most money
and the most railroad equipment
Perhaps he also has a few other
things that Escobar lacks.
