MANY THEORIES ADVANCED '1'O

The Knowledge of Shooting Stars Ex-
tends Bach to Prehistoric
Tinted.
s'N
You have probably wondered as you
have watched a brilliant shooting star
burn its way through a summer night
where these strange visitors came
font and -where they go. A recent
publication of the Smithsonian Insti-
tution deals with the origin of shoot-
ing stars andfireballs, botfi included-
in
ncludedin the term meteor. Tho explanations
put forward .at different times in the
past to account, for these striking
phenomena are discussed, and the au-
thor then takes up the present ideas
and the most probable theory as to
their origin.
The knowledge of stones which have
fallen from heaven extends into the
oldest history of humanity, back into
prehistoric times. Among the Chinese
the mention of heaven stones goes
hack 6,000 years, and „,falling stones
have always beenknown by the peo-
ple of Asia Minor, by the Greeks and
Romans. By all these ancient peoples
the "messengers of heaven" were gen-
erally regarded as divine gifts. But
with the advance of Christianity an-
pther idea of meteorites becamelreva-
lent. Gradually there was lost the
Oriental conception of them as bless-
ings and though the whole Middle
Ages and alined clown to the present
day the falMig of meteorites was con-
siddred. 8 warming of approaching

Divided Opinion.
Passing over the beautiful mythical
conceptions of the Oriental peoples
and the assumption in the Middle Ages
that they might be due to lightning
one can divide into two groups those
holding opinions as to the origin of
meteorites; supporters of the hypothe-
sis that they came from space and did
not belong originally to the earth and
its atmosphere and the supporters of
the hypothesis that. they did originally
belong to our planet.
There have been many respected ad-
herents of the hypothesis of the origin
of meteorites from the volcanoes of
the moon. Telescopic observation gave
informationas to the surface of the
moon, upon which -craters could be
seen, and not until it was established
that a volcano'on-the moon would not
possess sufficient energy to impart to
an ejected block of stone the necessary
initial velocity to reach our earth did
the hypothesis of lunar origin fall into
disfavor. The idea that meteorites
were formed out of constituents of the
atmosphere was held only as long as
their composition was as yet little
known. It was scion seen that iron,
nickel, chromium, silica,'&c., could not
be contained in the air, and this and
many other reasons withdrew every
support from the hypothesis of the
origin of meteoric masses in the at-
mosphere.
Two Opposing Theories: •
Of longer duration was the theory
of their terrestrial origin.. According
to this they are said to have been
thrown out of the interior of our plan-
et in the dim early ages with so great
force that they were carried beyond
the limit of its attraction to form a
ring around it, like that of Saturn, out
of which fragments fall to the earth
again, Astronomic hypotheses as to.
the origin of meteorites did not devel-
op until much later and took their
rise from the idea that meteorites,
shooting stars and comets were all of
the same character. By studying the
orbits of comets and meteors the the-
ory was formulated that comets which
become periodic split up into periodic
swarms of shooting stars which re-
volve in the courses of the mother
comet.
In opposition to this theory a hypo-
thesis was proposed in 1875 based
upon a mineralo-geologidal basis, upon
the study of the component material
of the meteorites and upon the times
of arrival of meteorite& of like com-
position. According to this theory,
which is generally accepted to -day,
from the shape and the slicken sided
surfaces of meteorites they are frag-
ments broken from small planetary
masses by volcanic explosions: Such
explosions can only be brought about
by sudden expansion of gases and
steam, among which hydrogen may
have been die the first rank.
Vulcanism Its a cosmic phenomenon
is the destroyer of planotdry masses,
as we learn from the constituents of
meteorites, in harmony with the solar
development of stars, which all go
through a volcanic phase. Tho broken
bits after their separation are -arrang-
ed in swarms which cross the orbit of
the earth In accordance with a definite
law.
Meteorites then, according to the
'authority quoted, undoubtedly comes
from within our solar system and are
broken bits of a world body destroyed
by volcanic events.

quite long enough to realize that his
"happy thought" had brought untold

"FAKING" ON BOTH SIDES.
A Tragi -Comedy Between the Battle
Lines of Europe.
-In ‘the effort to conceal militavy'.op
erations-camouflage as it is called in
French -the talent of painters and
sculptors is being put to a practical
use in the battle lines of Europe...- In
Scribner's Magazine Mr. Ernest
1 Peixotto writes that it is often neces-
sary to model "fake" horses and trees
for observation purposes.
The work is extremely dangerous,
for it is not easy, withsthe Germans' a
stone's throw off, to crawl out of the
trenches at night, remove the carcass
of a horse and put an imitatibif in its
place with an observer inside so that
no one will know the difference in the
morning.
Trees are of vital importance( An
old blasted stump may stand between
the lines in an advantageous position.,
The sculptor models a duplicate of the
tree, the etump is removed 4t night
and the duplicate erected in its place
with the observer inside. He remains
all day, peering down into the enemy
lines, and after nightfall makes his
way back to his own trenches.
Once, after an attack by the French,
many. German dead -were left on the
field. Among them was a large, fat,
red-haired German who had fallen on
a bit of rising ground in a good place
for observation. It occurred to the
'colonel that a French observer might
be useful at that point. The sculptor
made a fat, red-haired German
"corpse," and that night they crawled
out with it to where the fat German
lay. They threw a rope round the.
dead man, dragged him away and left
him behind a pile of rocks, and in the
place where he had lain they placed
the French observer inside the imita-
tion "corpse." To the "corpse" they
attached a rope so that they could pull
the observer back the next evening.
The next morning, to their horror,
the Germans made a target of the
"corpse" and shot bullet after bullet
into it. Of course the French thought
that their observer was dead. That
night the Germans sent tip flares
every once in as while and continued
shooting, and the French could do no-
thing. Later, when the flares and the
shooting ceased, the French dragged
their observer back behind the lines;
but when they came to examine him
they found, not their comrade, but an
irate and very much alive German offi-
cer. They crawled back to the pile of
rooks where they had left the dead
German the night before and foilnd'
only a Prussian unifo;nl stuffedwith
straw and cotton and capped with a
red wig!
The Germans had been doing a little
"faking" of their own. The first i
"corpse" was not really a dead.soldier,
at all. The observer inside had crept
out and made his way back to the
German lines. The Germans had then
captured the French observer,,,shot up.
the imitation "corpse," and -between
flares the next night had put one of
their own observers in his place.

Ho became a doctor, and was on a
Leasure trip in Italy when the great
battle of Solferino took piece, He
witnessed the terrible sufferings of the
wounded left untended on the field. He
called the women of the district to his
aid and had the wounded carried to a
neighboring church, where he pended
them.
This terrific experience, acid the
work of Florence Nightingale in the
Crimea, led him to initiate an inter-
national agreement for the better care
of the wounded in battle, and the fam-
ous Red Cross Convention tvas the
result. It was signed at Geneva by
representatives' of twelve Powers in
1864.

SERIOUS ILLNESS AVOIDED
Many a serious illness has been
avoided by the prompt use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. These pills actually
enrich and purify the blood, and in
this way build up the system; tone and
strengthen the nerves and invigorate
the vital organs,
Serious diseases generally come
from some .simple disorder that has
been neglected, Therefore any thin-
ning of the blood should be looked up-
on as a warning sign, and more
serious illness should be avoided by
the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills:
In the case of young girls and women
the blood is peculiarly liable to get
out of order -to become thin and
watery -and to lead to a general
breakdown in health. This can be
avoided by the occasional use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, which are suit-
able for the most delicate constitu-
tion. These pills will give you a new
appetite, improve your digestion, tone
and strengthen weakened nerves, ban-
ish depression and lack- of energy,
clear the complexion of pimples and
blotches, cure pain in the 'bask and
general weakness, cause the disap-
pearance of headaches, dizziness and
heart fluttering. Give these pills a
Pair trial and you will soon note a won-
derful change in your condition. Your
spirits will brighten, good health and
strength will return, and you will feel
like a new person. You can confirm
these statements, by enquiring among
your friends almost anywhere, as
thousands and thousands of hopeless
sufferers have been restored to new
health and energy by using Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills.
You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents

Alfalfa for Sheep.
Alfalfa, if carefully fed and pas-
tured, is one of, the best roughages
for sheep. The rapid increase in the
production of alfalfa during re-
cent years has resulted in a more
careful study of its possibilities as a
food for all classes of live stock.
Formerly it was used primarily as a
cattle feed, but. now it is used as a
feed ter horses, swine, and sheep.
When alfalfa is pastured, great care
should be taken to prevent bloat. If
the alfalfa has become woody or is
mixed with other grasses the danger
is somewhat lessened. Before turn -
hag the sheep on alfalfa they should
be filled up on hay, fodder, or other
roughage, and turned out only when
the alfalfa is free from moisture of
any kind.
Sheep should never be allowed to
pasture more than a short time the
frost day. The length of time should
be increased a little from day to day
until the sheep are accustomed to the
feed. Flockmastors have found that
it is never safe to give sheep free
access to an alfalfa pasture.
The amount of alfalfa fed will al-
ways depend on the price and the
amount available. When it is cheap
and plentiful and other roughages are
scarce, alfalfa could compose the en-
tire ration of the flock. On the other
hand, when hay is scarce and high in
price, the -ration could be made up of
straw, fodder, and like roughages.
In experimental trails, averaging
100 days each, alfalfa was 'compered
to timothy and prairie hay, The lots
fed alfalfa made greater gains and re-
quired less feed par 100 pounds than
did those fed prairie and timothy.Jiay.
For 'roteeting trousers from
mud a
French inventor has brought out a

The tomato is an excellent article of
food. It Is properly a vegetable:fluit.
The tomato is valuable because of the
citric acid which it contains, and also
on 'account of its large supply of
vt"tamines: and iron. One pound of
tomato contains enough ironte supply
the body needs for one day, The
tomato is an excellent food for per-
sons suffering from a defleioiiey of
blood or bleed coloring matter,

Beautiful Fabrics Manufactured From
I Bananas and Pines.
People usually connect the Philip-
pine Islands with perfumes and tro-
pical fruits, and very little is heard of
the great native industry -the weav-
ing of fabrics from pineapples and
bananas.
The linin of the skins is used,and
gn
looms not unlike those familiar to us
are employed. The finest material is
made from pineapples, and called
Pena cloth. It is very soft and close
in texture, somewhat resembling mull -
'muslin, and is the color of champagne.
It is not, as a rule, dyed, and is beau-
tifully embroidered.
Pena cloth is expensive -a blouse
length costing about $12.50 but it
washes and wears well, and is exceed-
ingly graceful and artistic. Yasi cloth
is cheaper and coarser, and is pro-
duced from bananas. This is the na-
tive dress material, and is worn by all
the native women,
The best kind, however, is made in
the natural shade -exactly the color
of the inner side of a banana skin -
embroidered in a finer woven mesh of
the skin, and trimmed with a lace also
manufactured from bananas. Perhaps
after the war, some enterprising lead-
er of the world of fashion will litre
duce these cloths into Canada.

THE WORLD'S HIGHWAYS.
Paved Roads in Babylon As Early as
2000 B. C.
If it is true, as has been said, that
road -making is one of the first signs
of civilization in a people, then civiliz-
ation must have dropped back tre-
mendously during those mediaeval
centuries known as the "Dark Ages."
In earlier times roads and paved
ways were skillfully made and well
maintained in the world's most high -1
ly civilized communities. The great
road of Egypt, says the historian, was
a mighty work which employed a 100,-
000 men for ten years in a remote
past. Doubtless its history, like that
of the famous pyramids, is bound up
with the story of Israelitish slaves,
whipped to energy by Egyptian task-
masters before the great day of de-
liverance dawned. There is mention
of great radiating paved roads in
Babylon 2000 B.C. The Ancient
Greeks, though a seafaring race, ex-
tended their conquests by land, and
then as now the conquest of new lands,
whether by war or commerce, involv-
ed the making and maintenance of
roads.
