The astronomical exhibition is little less than marvelous. In it are actual photographs showing the volcanoes of the moon and the arrangement of the |various planets and star groups in the heavens. For instance, there is a dis- play proving that in the course of perhaps 150,000 years the group known as the Big Dipper will entirely disappear. Astronomers have found ample proof that it did not exist 180 years ago, and that its varlous units are moving off in opposite di- rections. Mars and Saturn are | brought so close in the photographs that it is possible to see what appear to be great continents on their sur- faces. | Another department shows speci- mens of trees that were growing in America the vear Christ was born, and other trees yo old that they had been buried by tons of dirt.

The marshal's intervention to pre- | vent reprisals against the nltlonll-, ists after the assassination of the president is said greatly to have! strengthened his position and those | in closest touch with the situation assert he will now be able to muster such mafority as to remove his own objections to his candidacy. Marshal Pllsudski could have ob- tained a majority of the votes in the national assembly election at which Narutowlcz was chosen, according to these dispatches, but his desire was for such support as would prevent the | opposition saying he was the candi- | date of a single party or the choice of the smaller factions. Being in doubt as to the size of the vote he could master, he declined to become a candidate. The situation now has changed, these advices add, and the indioations are that he will have such a follow- ing as to oblige him to accept. CONTESTS HUSBAND'S SUIT. Mrs. Hattle E.
