Don't mind the pessimistic weather prophet's prediction of a long winter. rJ- ■ M s • Flat-wheeled trolley cars and all auto horns are to be regulated in New York. The center of population, unlike most of the sons of Indiana, remains in that state. The United States army wants aeroplanes. They will probably be manned by the flying divisions. Winter may be trying to keep it up until March. It began early and It 'has been cold throughout Siam is to have an aviation week, and so the march of up-to-date civilisation goes—or rather flies —merrily «L The new census of Berlin and its suburbs shows a population of 5..400,000.

A noiseless telephone party line would be a greater blessing. The agitation to make the upper berth lower continues; but no matter at what figure they fix the price it will etill be high. A St Louis man made his wife cut his hair. Barbering, however, will never be included in any domestic science course. There is a woman wireless operator. The old saw must be amended *to read: "What man has done, a woman can and will do." Fashionable women In the national capital climb the Washington monument to reduce theif flesh. Thus does the uplift reach society. A St. Louis woman, asked why she ishot her husband, said she did it “just for fun." And yet they say women have no sense of humor. A woman of ninety-one in Massachusetts wants to go up in a balloon. Another example of bow people are as young In these times as they want to be. An eastern man says fie will soon put lobsters on the market at three cents each. If he’d only turn his attention to bacon what a gay world this would become. Now we understand why certain things are as they are. During the present year the people of New York have eaten three million pounds of bad eggs In their pastry. Philadelphia society women protest against posing in bare feet on the plea that their underpinning is too unsightly to be exposed, unadorned, to the vulgar gaxe. Thus are the women of Chicago deprived of their birthright. A man in New Jersey wrote a rebuke to the kaiser for riding a horse with a docked tail. It is not feared that international complications -will result, or that a German phantom fleet will bombard our defenseless seacoast ports. A fashionable New York hotel now permits women to smoke in its dining rooms, corridors, or any other old place. If this smoking stunt keeps on growing among the fair sex we may soon be confronted with divorce . suits over the custody of the "makin’s.” Two men propose to Journey around the globe on stilts. It Is not clear why they should be pe-mitted to do so. as necessarily they would have to traverse territory where more or less prejudice against vagrant tramps has found expression in statutory restraints, and even in rock piles. Frequent seismic manifestations of late had prepared the world for news of some such upheaval as that which •Is-reported ofT the coast of Salvador, accompanied by the sinking of a small island. This has Involved a lamentable loss of life, and illustrates anew the peril of making homes in the earthquake-ridden sections of the earth, for several similar catastrophes have occurred in that quarter. A schoolgirl in Indiana has fallen heir to $30,000,000. This news will probably have an agitating influence iln European tilled impecunious circles r In Colorado they propose a law making It an offense for doctors to cut out patients' appendices unless it is necessary.

LION HUNT BEFORE MOVING PICTURE MACHINE

CHERRY KEARTON, a famous animal photographer, recently organized a remarkable lion hunt in order to obtain cinematograph films and the films were exposed at a distance of only 15 yards from the man-eater which the riatives were slaying The beast was flrstHunted out by men on horseback, and then the natives, armed with spears, made the attack, in company with Mr. Kearton’s little dog, who went in after the king of beasts and hung on to his tail, even until the quarry was dead. It need scarcely be said that this feat of cinematography called for great courage and skill on the part of the onjerator.. especially—as Abe--natives would mot allow Mr. Kearton to carry any firearms, as they were afraid that he might fire at the lion and shoot one of them while they were surrounding the beast.

NEW IN ASTRONOMY

Prof. McMillan of Chicago University Doubts Nebular Theory. If One Could Throw Baseball Hard Enough It Would Never Touch Earth—Sun Must Eventually Exhaust Its Energy. Kansas City. Mo. —Could you stand on top of a high building and throw a baseball around the earth? Certainly, says William Duncan McMillan, professor of astronomy In the University of Chicago, “if you throw it hard enough. “The moon,” he said, “is falling toward the earth at the rate of one-twen-tieth of an inch a second, and the earth is falling toward the sun at the rate of one-eighth of an inch every 19 miles. But the moon never will fall Into the earth and the earth never will* fall into the sun. ‘ The reason is that while the tearth Is falling toward the sun, at the same time it is falling outward from it sufficiently to keep the same relative distance. If you stand on top of a high building and drop a baseball it will travel to the ground in a straight line. But If you throw it outward it will reach the ground in a curve, and the farther you throw it the greater will be the arc it will describe. If you should throw it far enough it wouldn’t strike the ground at all, but would continue in a curve all around the earth and come back to your hand. That Is what the earth is doing—it is being thrown around the ! sun every 24 hours and never strikes ! It." I Astronomy, the oldest and most exact science, nevertheless, is discovering something new all the time. Prof. McMillan asserts. Great progress has been made eyen in the last ten

years. j "Most of what we know about the stars,” he said, "we have learned quite j recently. We know them now as well as though we had scratched them with a nail. We have reached a point where we almost are ready to reject the nebular theory of the creation of the universe. We know more about the sun than we ever did. The only thing about that the science of astronomy has not outgrown is. the Newtonian law of gravity—that remains and never j can be changed. Mathematically, as- ; tronomy has reached a high point of | exactness. Astronomy is the mother j of mathematics; it has pushed the j mathematicians forward to every *trl- ! umph they ever achieved,” i “Could the mathematicians construct a new solar system that would work as well as the present one?" Prof. McMillan was asked. —■ “On no other theory that mathematics ever could evolve would the solar system work," he said. “Change it a hair’s breath, and there would be a i wreck on the main line past all un- : tangling. That does not mean that, l perfect as it is. the solar system will I go on forever. It will not There is no such thing as perpetual motion, and some time our universe as we know It i will cease to exist. The sun has been j pouring forth its tremendous light and heat for five hundred million years. I Enormous as that reservoir of energy is. it mu6t eventually exhaust Itself. When it does life on the planets must cease." “About when will that happen, professor?” “O say in twenty or thirty million years. It isn’t anything new for a sun to go out The sky is full of extinct suns. ’ “Is it true that the moon came out of the Pacific ocean? People out in California say you can see the edges where it was broken off." .-“Well, it’s possible, but more likely the moon, the earth ail the planets were born of a tremendous collision between our sun and another sun. You i can see that there would be sparks fly-

ing In such a smash. Well, our earth is one of the sparks.” "Could such a collision happen again?” “It could, if the other sun were big enough to stand the heat. Otherwise it would be consumed before it reached our luminary. If a column of Ice 40 miles in diameter and as many million miles long, as you choose to make It were projected at our sun at a velocity of two hundred thousand miles a second, It never would get there—the sun would melt it. So you see anybody that reaches the sun must be able to stand the racket, so to speak. "This collision theory is the basis of the new hypothesis of the creation of our universe; that is displacing the nebular theory. Acordlng to the new theory the earth never was a molten mass. It was built cold. In the beginning—r am talking humanly now, in astronomy there is no beginning and no end—in the beginning the earth was a relatively small fragment, and its growth has been due to the accretions of meteoric matter. For millions of years this matter has been falling on the earth, and is falling today. The heat in the center of the earth simply is caused by the compression of the outer mass which sets up friction.” “If there is no end to matter why should the sun go out?” “The sun is nothing except a reservoir of energy, .and it is sending It out and taking none in. I do not say that this energy is ending, It still will be in the universe, but no longer In the sun, and when it ceases to come from the sun that will be the end of the earth so far as life is concerned. The universe will keep on, only we won’t be here.”

Deacons' Card Games Over

Friendship Snaps Over Squabbles About Pinochle and Flock of Annoying Guinea Fowls. New York. —Two deacons sat on a Sunday morn, with their faces and their smiles forlorn, and the words of grace on their fevered lips were drowned by the clash cf the dwindling chips, for the words of grace that the deacons use are the same as those of the men who lose. And this, though known some decades back, has caused surprise in Hackensack To think that the man who can pass the plate, with a scowling face if his brother’s late, and can even quote what the preachers say. would open a pot on the Sabbath day and start a raid on his neighbor’s stack, is most too much for Hackensack. A careful study of ,the foregoing, will in some measure explain the intensity of Hackensack’s amazement, when John V. Roscoe, a deacon, appeared in the Bergen county court to sue John H. Demarest, another dea con, for J 10,000 damages, because of harsh words uttered by the latter when their friendship snapped In the Dutch Reformed church. Mr. Roscoe being superintendent of the Sunday school. Yet some time ago. Mr. Demarest became displeased at Mr. Roscoe’s guinea fowl and told the department of health about them, since when there have been cool words, which shocked Mr. Roscoe's sensibilities SIO,OOO worth But when Mr. Demarest was taken Into court he became angered and gave the whole snap away. He said that be and his brother deacon were in the habit of playing pinocble for money until far Into Sunday morning until the guinea fowl came between them Mr. Roscoe declared that they quit at half-past eleven always, but Mr. Demarest said that that was only when Mr. Roscoe was winner. The Jury in Judge Black’s court looked Mr. Demarest over and failed to see how he could utter SIO,OOO worth of biting English, but they did think that Mr. Roscoe had been dam-

SLAUGHTER 1,000 TAME DEER

On© Animal Rubs Nose Against Hunter’s Gun Barrel, and Is Allowed to Escape. Springfield, Mass. —Tamer than they have been for years, more than 1,000 deer were killed, it is estimated, in the state during the season which has closed. In several Instances sportsmen failed to get the game, because it was browsing in pastures with cattle, and could not be killed safely. One sportsman from Athol was approached by a deer, which rubbed its nose against the barrel of the stalker’s gun. The deer was permitted to go its way. The open season was not attended by any fatalities, and so far as known only four persons were Injured. In on* instance a sportsman shot himself In the foot and In another a gun barrel exploded. It is expected, that dead deer will be found In the woods In the five western counties for weeks, as hundreds of the wounded animals escaped. Strong opposition is likely to develop to a further trial of the open season, and the protests of the farming element, which is strong in the legislature, will be supported by prominent men and women in the cities.

Loses Dollar Two Ways.

Columbus, O. —Mike Popovltch, a young Pole, lost a dollar In a bet the other day in a double sense. He bet he could throw up a silver dollar and! catch it In his mouth. He got it in his mouth all right as it descended, but the coin entered with such momentum that before he could stop it it had passed down into the aesophagus, where it stuck. He was taken, in great agony, to a hospital, where surgeons succeeded in remov-l ing the dollar.

aged about Bix cents’ worth, which was awarded. This will make up for what the deacon lost the last time his brother melded doubled pinochle, but didn’t soothe his feelings, as he mustj pay about S3O in court costs. Both men are prominent in Hackensack and both are still deacons In the church.

MAKE HER HATS SUIT FEET

London Modiste Tells How to Buy) Headgear for Best Effeet—Proper Line Needed. London.—“ Watch your feet whilel buying your hat’ This is the advice now given to women, who generally when choosing a hat are content to see the effect in a mirror that reflects merely the head and shoulders. “Women should not buy a hat mere ly because it is pretty or smart and becoming to the face." a west end modiste said. “It may be all that is charming from that point of view, and yet quite out of harmony with a woman’s general outline. “When choosing hats one should try them on facing a long mirror that reflects the figure from top to toe. “The very tall woman may fancy herself in a very tall hat when she sees the effect in a looking glass showing only the top part of her body, but she will not buy the too tall hat whes she views the fact that from toe to the top of her headgear she has the appearance of a long post if she be thin, or clumsily big if she be heavily built “In these days of colored footwear and narrow dresses, it is moot necessary to keep the proper line in making a toilette. Color in a hat must harmonize with the shoes and stockings. “Ab for the tight dresses, many little women who have not thought of their appearance from the waist downward with regard to their hats havi recently, with their, narrow skirts am wide hats, presented the aMtaraoo of mushrooms.”

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

“Some nine years ago I noticed small pimples breaking out on the back of my hands. They became very Irritating, and gradually, became worse, so that I could' not sleep at night. I consulted a physician who treated me a long time, but it got wdrse, and I could not put my hands in water. I w&s treated at the hospital, and it W'as just the same. I was told that it was a very bad case of -eczema. Well, I just kept on using everything that I could for nearly eight years until I was advised to try CutiCttra Ointment. I did so, and I found after a few applications and by bandaging my hands well up that the burning sensations were disappearing, I could sleep well, and did not have any itching during the nighi;, I began after a while to use Cutlcura Soap for a wash for them, and I think by using the Soap and Ointment I was much benefited. I stuck to the Cuticura treatment, and thought If I could use other remedies for oveiL seven years wjth no result, and after only having a few applications and finding ease from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it deserved a fair trial with a severe and stubborn case. I used the Ointment and Soap for nearly six months, and I am glad to say that I have hands as clear as anyone. “It is my wish that you publish this letter to all the world, and If anyone doubts it, let them write me and I will give them the name of my physician, also the hospital I was treated at.” (Sigried) Miss Mary A. Bentley, 93 University St., Montreal, Que., Sept 14, 1910. -‘r

Their Last Hope Gone.

When the minister praised the raspberry jam at Mrs. Green’s bountiful Saturday night supper, he could not imagine why Angie and Horatio, the twins, gazed at him so reproachfully. “Don’t you like raspberry jam, my little man?” he asked Horatio. “Yes, sir, I do, and Angle does,” said Horatio, in distinctly resentful tones, “and mother told us that she was afraid the last she made wasn’t quite up to the mark, and If you didn’t praise it, Angie and I could have it for luncheon on our bread, for Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Shedd never said a word when they ate It, and you’ve made the third; but now she’ll use It for the church sociables,” and Horatio looked gloomily at his twin, who returned the look in kind —Youth’s Companion.

Absent-Minded.

The professor had just sneezed for the thirtieth time, and It naturally attracted some attention. “What’s the matter with the professor?” asked the visitor. “He appears to have a bad cold.” “Oh, no,” said Madame la Professoress. "It is only his fearful absentmindedness. I left him in charge of the baby for a few moments this morning, and when he cried he gave' him the pepper-pot to play with Instead of his rattle.” —Harper’s Weekly.

Malady Worth Having.

“I can’t understand my husband, doctor; I am afraid there Is something terrible the matter with him.” “What are the symptoms?” “Well, 1 often talk to him for half an hour at a time and when I get through he hasn’t the least idea what I’ve been saying.” “Don’t worry any more about your husband. I wish 1 had his gift.”— Stray Storiea.

OLD COMMON SENSE. Change Food When You Feel Out of Sorts.

"A great deal depends upon yourself and the kind of food you eat,” the wise old doctor said to a man who came to him sick with stomach trouble and sick headache once or twice a week, and who had been taking pills and different medicines for three or four years. He was induced to stop eating any sort of fried food or meat for breakfast, and was put on Or ape- Nuts and eream, leaying off all medicines. In a few days he began to get better, and now he has entirely recovered and writes that he is in better health than he has been before in twenty years. This man is 68 years old and says he feels “like a new mac all the time."
