How Our Solar System May End and a New One Bs Born. 'l'lio whole of the present solar sys ten is ultimately to fall luto the sun v using an explosion that may result tu a new solar system. Such Is the theory put forward by Professor Philip 1 .nth, a well known astronomer, whose reputation has rested principally upon tils researches Into the conditions on the moon. The novel feature of I>r. Fauth’s the ory Is that it Is based upon the suppo sition that a great part of the known solar system, including especially the plain ts Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn, are not composed of mineral matter at all, I ot are tremendous masses of Ice or balls o f h e surrounding a mineral ker nel. Furthermore, he declares, a part of what Is now known as the Milky way Is not mineral or gaseous, but ring o f ice dust,” masses o f particles o f Ice suspended In space, tbe other planets receiving a constant addition to their Ice mass from Ibis source. Professor Fauth declares that the world already at somo remote periods lias Imd a similar experience, resulting In the death of nearly all Hidmate na ture, and that all species of life as wo know It have arisen since then. Even tiinlly the planets swinging through their narrow orbits will fall Into tbo sun, causing a new explosion and per haps the birth o f a new solar system, but for thousands o f years before that time, all life, either on earth or else where, will have disappeared.—Kansas City Journal. ACROSS THE PACIFIC. Influence of the “ Great Circle" on the Journey to Manila. If you wauled to go from the Pana ma canal lo Yokohama which of these two would he the shorter route? First, across tliu oceun to Hawaii and from there to Yokohnmn, or, secoud, up ulong I ho coast to Snu Francisco and then directly across the Pacific to Asia? Nearly everybody would answer In favor of the lluwallau route, llut the navigators tell tts the Journey Is "00 miles shorter by w ay o f Mini Francisco. The "great circle" docs It Its influ dice oik distance sends ships from Snu Francisco to Manila by way of tlie Aleutian islands Actually our vessels would go much farther north lliaii they do but for the discouragement o f the Chllcd Stales hydrographic bureau a Washington, w lilrh advises a centra route, more Ilian •Jim miles longer than the great olrcle, in order to escape ( lie fogs and l< e of the far north. The Hawaiian Islands are freijnptitly described as "the erossronds of the I’n clttc." Their people are naturally look lug forward L> wonderful commercial development. They will doubtless eu Joy substantial progress as a couiuier d al center because many conditions in ocean currents and III prevailing winds and In fuel costs favor Honolulu ns way station route, llut it Is well to re member that these Islands were plant < d a little loo near the ei|uator to lie 11 crossroads , f the north I'ueltlo.— Ho* tou 11 cm Id.

AUCTIO N IN FO R M ATIO N PITTSBURG IS SMALL Natives of the Island Do Not Carry Change In Their Pockete. Propped up against the house o f tbe native chief of Yap, which is one of the Caroline islands lying southeast of ; the Philippine«, may be seen a row of “ money stones," the current coin of the island. In shape these stones are like mlllftones, hut they do no grind ing. They serve simply as a parade of the wealth of the village. Their value lies solely In tbe difficulty with which they are obtained. The yellowish granite of which they are made is found only In the Island of I ’alao, 200 miles away, and when the monsoon favors forty or fifty na tives voyage there in their canoes, After pacifying the king o f I ’alao with presents the work o f hewing the wala- ka. or money stones, begins, lasting for months until the monsoon changes, when the tollers start homeward with their "coin.” The smallest of these stones is about a foot in diameter aud three Inches thick, with a round hole through Its center. It udii buy food for a family for a mouth. Tbe large stones, about three feet In diameter and eight Inches thick, have relatively much greater value, since it Is more difficult to trans port them in cranky canoes over such u long stretch of sen. Indemnities can be paid with such a stone or the aid of neutrals purchased In time o f war. —William L. Cat heart in St. Nicholas. BUYER OF APPLES THE NUMBER NINE. Easy to Multiply by It if You Will Re member Thie Rule. Examine any one o f the statements of equality in the multiplication table of nine, up to aud including nlue times ten. Select, for exumple, 9 x 7 = 0 3 ; or 9X2=18. Observe that In each case the first digit In the product la one less than the number by which nine Is multi plied, and the secoud digit In the prod uct Is such that when added to the Qrst digit, the sum of the two Is nine. You may make practical use o f this peculiarity o f nine anil Its multiples by applying It In the following way: If nine Is to be multiplied by eight, for example, think ot ouce of seven (which Is one less than eight, the mul tiplier!; then think of two, which must be added to seven to make nine, and you have seventy two, tbe product of nine and eight. Or, If nine Is to be multiplied by five think of four, which Is one less than five; then think o f five, which must be added to four to tuako nine, and you have forty five, the product of nine and live. By using this method the nines, usually among tho hardest o f the ta bles to tlx In the memory, may, In a short time, be fairly classed with the fives and tens nml elevens, which are said to "remember themselves.”— Y'outh's Companion. f-44444-44-44 vv liti c> erv tb iv in It Couldn't Forget It. i rdiv ii Id sc miscreant lug nsl o'T a win ' ,,.rd of my W ish !, aud “ ••in. h, ,v I can't folget about It,” de- i la red Silas Have you tried tu forget U T In- «pilrcil Ids friend "Y. s Holiday morning I went to I ■■ I v t it’ off my mind, ami tiefore 1 Imd been Hiere five minutes the choir started tu alugltig "I tie I est Chord,' so I got ouL"—Judge. 4 4 4 4 Literary.

It Is dangerous to health and even to life In a damp, moldy bouse or oue built over a moldy cellar. Many years ago the London Lancet in an article on diphtheria traced the disease In cer tain cases to the presence of certain molds and fungoid growths which seemed to be bt'eatbed into tbe throat Remember, one of tbe best disinfec tants is lime.
