Women Aatronomer Startle World, ' I Being proposed to In a balloon, is the latest adventure of a woman astrono mer, writes Dewey Shelden Iieebe In Technical World Magazine. And the women astronomers of to-day have dis covered more new stars than the men of science have been able to find in sev eral centuries. Hut women in astronom ical work are not the product of new world conditions alone, for they have been Identified with every important advance In that science. From the time when the young and beautiful Hypatia of Alexandria gave her life a martyr to science, a tragedy of the fifth cen tury, to the daring capture of Dorothea Klumpke while making a balloon voy age under the auspices of the Paris Observatory, a romance of the twen tieth century, the story of women and astronomy is. a record of achievement charged with sacrifice and devotion. Woman's natural carefulness, system, caution, accuracy, and love of detail, have made her indispensable in com pleting our knowledge of the constitu tion and distribution of the stars. She has achieved greater success, has met with more courteous recognition, and now occupies a more prominent place in astronomy than in any other branch of scientific activity. She has added greatly to our knowledge of the stars, not only through her untiring efforts and discoveries, but by the Inspiration of her example and the stimulus of her devotion.

Shortly after Lafayette's return to France from his second sojourn tn America, he was at Versailles, where the King was about to review a division of troops. Lafayette was asked to Join lu the review. He was dressed In the American uni form, and was standing by the side of the Prince de Conde, when the King, In his tour of conversation with the offi cers, came to him and, after speaking on several topics, asked him some ques tions about his uniform and the mili tary costume of the United States. The King's attention was attracted by a little medal attached to the general's coat, and he asked what It was. Lafayette replied that It was a sym bol which it was the custom of foreign officers In American service to wear, and that it bore a device. "And what is the device upon yours?" asked the King. "My device," said the young general, pointing to his medal, "is a liberty pole standing on a broken crown and scep ter." The King smiled, and with some pleasantry, upon the republican propen sities of a French marquis In American uniform, turned the conversation into other channels. Conde looked grave, but was silent.

KEPT OPEN BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOO0 Whenever a sore refuses to heal it Is because the blood is' not "pure and healthy, a3 it should be, but i3 infected with poisonous germs or some old blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous genus which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grow3 red and angry, festers and eats int6 the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments i3 good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is thi3 true if the trouble i3 an inherited one.
