Tkuksdat Sept. 17, 190S A COMET'S JAIL SECKLESS AARON BURR. flj CcamaUo Story of H.J Marriaga In Old Ago. TKt starv vt Aaron Burr's marriage fct k'm old age li the widow of Stephen Ju.mfa', who was well known in tho e-Jriy history of New York city, 13 a dramatic one. Conrvlve, if you will, the picture of Burr, sifted adventurer that he was, txoVrn la health, branded in the popu lar mind as the murderer of Alexander Hamilton and returning from a Ion,; to find himself an outcast In the elzy where he had once been the polit ies! monarch of all he surveyed and a fiiiiinsrnisbed figure in society and at thr tor. Conceive, if you can. this lamentable old man, smirking through Lb wrinkles, bowing and prancing rather stiffly because of his rheumatic Joints and with his mouth full of pret ty platltndes, paying court to the wld iv of Stephen Jumel. herself in the prime of years and health. Remove from the picture Its surface incongrui ties, and you have a bit of pure pathos naeqaaled In the annals of foolish great men. Bet somrthing of his old time pow er to charm the gentler sex must have stoid by iilm in his years of mental anil physical misery, for in his suit for the widow Jumel's hand and fortune be ren gloriously, dramatically. Re lBffrsl repeatedly. Burr fiunlly de clared iu passionate rage that on a glren day he would arrive at the Jumcl ciEsion accompanied by a clergyman, who should marry them on the spot, lie traalJ give his prosp?ctive bride no qua rtrr, r.o chance of escape from the torr liable. She was amused at tlu throat and dismissed the old man vith more tha:i hrr usual coldness of. demeanor. Burr sizirt: to his avowal and one July day jollcj. cp in a carriage, and with him vr-as a minister, the same who fifty years before performed the marriage cere ewt for Burr and the mother of his j 4liag'iiter, the beautiful Theodosla. ! Thera was something of a scene iu the old hijuse on this day. There were tears of anger on the part of Burr. Jlelatives remonstrated: Burr remained i-nnjorable. All feared a scandal. The minister, book in hand, stood unob trusively in the background. There wte more tears, more declarations of tn.!y!r,g love, aul the v.idjw Jumel beeaxaa Mrs. Aaron Burr. They were married in the great draTrinjf room of the Jumel mansion. rnycaiMlererl -with reckless baud tie T.-eaUh sctjuired 1 y Stephen Jumel and left for the enjoyment of his tnsrim.1 partner.

Th Way Thia Filmy Dust Train If Tossed About by tho Sun. No bridal veil waa over so flliuy as a roniet's tall. Hundreds of cubic tulles of that wonderful appendage are out weighed by a Jarful of air. By means of the spectroscope wo hnve magically transported this fairy plume to ar laboratories and have discovered that It Is akin to the blue flume of our gas stoves; for the gas by which we cook and the delicate tresses of n comet both consist of com binations of hydrogen and carbon, ap propriately called by chemists "hydro carbons." When It first appears In tho heavens, far removed from the sun, a comet la n tailless blotch of light. As a comet swims on toward the sua the hydrocarbons of the tail split up under the increasing heat into hy drogen gas and hydrocarbons of a .'ilgher boiling point. With a still closer approach to the sun, there more resistant hydrocarbons eventually yield to the increasing heat and are decom posed in the form of soot. Interplanetary space is airless; hence the soot cannot burn. It must pursue the comet In the form of a dust train. The particles constituting that train are small enough to be toyed with by the pressure of sunlight. No matter where the comet may be In Its orbit, whether It has just entered the solar system or Is speeding away, that plume Is Inevitably tossed away from the sun, just as If a mighty wind were blowing it from the central lu minary. The appendage of shining duct is the symbol of the triumph of light over solar gravitation. Harper's Magazine. THE PLANET JUPiTER. Chivalrous Chicago.

What tha Man of Science Has to Say About Its Wonder3. The jolly Jovians are said to be real ities and not myths. Not only are there said to be inhabitants on Jupiter, but also on some of his moons, in the midst of which the vast planet. 1,300 times the size of the earth, spins at such tremendous speed that it causes around the equator a furious wind that blows perpetually at the rate of 250 miles an hour. Those who believe in the Jovian say that his height runs from fifty to fifty-five feet and that he exists for about 800 to 1,000 of earth years. The Jupiter year, how ever, consists of 144 mouths. The ! oceans of Jupiter, torn Into fury by the hurricanes, would pay no attention to one moon such as moves the tides of our earth, and it takes no fewer than five of these satellites to perform this work for Jupiter. They travel at va rious rates of speed, some flying close to Jupiter's surface, others far off. They have atmospheres like ours ou earth, and a moonlight on Jupiter is indeed a glorious sight, for these moons have a variety of color; two are blue, one is yellow, and one red. Jupi ter needs all her moons at night for illumination, for without them her five hours of darknesd would be black in deed. So distant is the sun that broad daylight is hardly brighter than twi light on earth, and one lone moon would not reflect enough of the sun's rays to guide the Jovian footsteps. Submarine Navigation. Tb idea of the submarine is certain ly su much as 'MO years old, but most vt tie earlier plans were flat failures. Ia 1774 au Inventor named Day lost his life ilnring au experimental descent In ZlTzrt'Utli sound. Bushnell of Con-t?..-ta-i;i in 1775 contrived a subma rine vessel propelled by some kind cf screw. Robert Fulton also in 1790 tainted a bos which when filled with ronly.istiLle.5 might be propelled un ili r water and made to explode under thi-. bottom of a ship. It is hard to say vrfco was he originator of the idea of Ibe submarine boat unless it was Day. Xesr York American. A Hard Case. "TTia wife earns Ler ov. n money." "Indeed!
