Two gentlemen of the classg that are born, not made, were about to cross the Avenue, when they noticed the funeral; paused, and took off their hats. And kept them off until the last vehicle following the hearse had turned a corner. And, naturally, there were comments. A woman who has been abroad often enough to be tamiliar with foreign customs. said to another: “They must be here for the confer- ence. In France, every inAn uncovers when a funeral passes and many serd up a prayer for the 4oul that has gone to judgment.” Another woman, who looked as sweet as a candy in a paper frill, giggled at sight of one he heads because it was bald. And, as she couldn’t help knowing why it was bare—seeing that the (wo nhad at- tracted general attention * the fu- neral—she sobered her amusement to one of those curls of the lip that are not meant to be kind: “Aren’t they the sillies! I think every man ought to take off his hat to the flag, but for a funeral that one couldn’t poasibly be intercsted in It didn’t occur to her that the coi- mander-in-chief of all flags was pass- ing by. THIS ought to be too foolish to notice, but anyhow: A member of the conference was giving his impres- sion of the country, like this: “I was prepared to see a great and successful continent, but T confess I never quite understood the why of your exhilarating domination, until i saw your young people—your grow- ing girly and boys; so healthy and happy, and so capable of inheriting the future.

And, just by way of propheoy, the day is com- ing when she will be doing things— with this advance hint for proof! On Armistice day a resident was showing her various Eovernment de- partments, which so interested her that she wanted to know what each was for. And the resident voiced in- formation: “The bureau of engraving and printing is where they make the money; the Treasury is where they hide it; the Capitol is where they di- vide it; the Navy Department is: where they spend it, and the War Department is where they fight for it.” "Isn’t there any place where they save some of It?" You might consider this question like unto the Shakespearean shadow that precedes & coming event—for why: ’ Thoughts are like the seeds of Scripture, in that when they fall on good soil ‘they grow and grow—and where will you find better ground than the fertile brain of a child who is to in- herit a national say-so in the affairs of a country that ought to save and does not?

This discovery of a new plang recalls the all-absorbing interest that occupied the astropomical mind some years ago, when the planet Eros was added to the membership of our solar | system. As we proceed out from the sun, the center of our system, we come to Mars at a mean distance of 141,000,000 miles. Smaller than our earth, his diameter is but a little over half the earth’s, or 4,300 miles; his mass ane-ninth of ours and his density about seven-tenths as much. Beyond Mars lies the domain of the asteroids, among which Dr. Hart- mann has found the new planet—a domain vast in_extent, that, unten- anted by any larger planet, stretches out to Jupiter, revolving in an elliptical orbit around ‘the sun In the focus at a mean distance of 482,000,000 miles. Occupied solely by a host of little| bodies agreeing only in lack of size, | even this space seems too small to| ocontain them, for recent astronomical rescarch has shown some transgress its bounds. Where Eros was dis-| covered by De Witt in recent vears' it was considered then that this di covery more than trenched on Mars ‘territory, having an orbit smaller than that of the god of war and was considered at the time, perhaps, the | forcrunner of more yet to be found between Mars and the earth. On_the | other side three recently detected by ! Max Wolf at Heidelberg, have periods | equal to that of Jupiter, and in thei motions appesr to cxemplify an in teresting case of celestial mechanics, ! pointed out theoretically by Lagrange long before its corroboration, in fact was 80 much as dreamt. i ‘Achilles, Patroclus and Hector, as the | triad in the heavens are called, 80 move | as always to keep their angular distance | from Jupiter unaltered in their similar| circuits of the sun. The new planet can be seen at pre: ent from this latitude in the constel- lation Cetus, which lies south of the great square” of Pgassus, now mme' in the evening sky. It.is found in a; group of asteroids in the immensity of | space between the orbits of the great | jovian planets, Jupitor and Mars; the mass of the former planet is 318 times! the earth’s and a volume nearly 1,400 times that of the earth. | The study of the asteroids in the — | Plenty Coupes for adopting Gen.
