Baisuli was a bandit and had kid' naped a naturalized American citizen named perdicaris, holding him for ransom. Baisuli made a specialty of kidnaping foreigner for profit. It was an svolution ef the brigandage and piracy which early in the life of the American republic caused the humbling of tho Mediterranean coast buccaneers. What schoolboy does sot recall the American Millions for defense, but not retort; one eent for tribute!!

In this connection it is interesting to learn thnt Secretary Hughes, Secretary Mellon nnd Secretary Hoover are understood to of the American favor modification claim. "STRAY STABS HOW COMMON. Tbe outburst of a temporary atar, or nova, twenty years ago was regarded as a rare occurrence. At the present time novas are being discovered on pho- tographic plates taken at the Harvard college observatory and at the southern branch of tbe observatory at Arequipa, Peru, at the rate bt eight or ten a year. If this represents' the average, the outbursts of novas among tho stars in the past as well as in ths present, snd if the age of tbe earth is estimated at one thousand million years, an age pretty well agreed upon by scientists, it is evident that' since the planet came into existence something like ten thousand million novas have appeared in the heavens. This figure, however, is considerably in excess of the estimated total number of luminous stars in the heavens. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude tipt all the stare In the heavens, including.our own sun, have passed at least once and possibly several time through the tem porary stage. Novas appear exclusively in the Milky Way, or that belt of heaven toward Vhich the great majority of all visible stare tend and in which appear also vast tracts of nebulosity, luminous nnd Though there is still considerable doubt regarding the origin of novas, it ia generally thought smong astronomers f hat "'they are produced by the encounter of a star with nebulosity drifting through space, or with member of a meteoric swarm of considerable size. The examination of Harvard plates covering the same field of stars taken st intervals of days, month or years, shows that the sudden increase of a star many hundred or even thousand fold in brightness during a few hours or day is preceded in some case by peculiar fluctuations in the bright-nes- e of the star for a number of year. This wag true of tho brilliant nova of 1918, Nova Aquilae No. 3, which for' few days outshone all the stars in the heavens with the exception, of Sirius. v The novas that have been discovered in the systematic search for these objects at the Harvard college observatory that was instituted soon after tho appearance of Nova Aquilae No. 3 were in general too faint even nt the height of their outburst to be visible to the naked eye. Under normal conditions, preceding the outbursts they were usually either too faint to appear at all on tho plates covering the region in which they later appeared or they were barely visible. After the sudden .outburst of a nova there? is a more or less rapid re tui'tT'gf the star to approximately its former brightness Apparently it is chiefly the atmosphere of the etar that is affected by the catastrophe. In practically every instance it has been noted that the etar is wrapped for some time in nebulosity after its suddon outburst It is probable that in the eourse of time this nebular envelope gradually fade away and the marked signs of great excitation in the atmosphere of the etar as revealed ' by the spectroscope disappear as well. There may be many stars in tho heavens that have experienced such a celestial catastrophe and recovered from it. It is possible that some of the irregularly vanablestara,theL cause of whose peculiar behavior ie unknown, are doomed to pass through the nova stage at some time in the near future. Though a star may recover to a great extent from the effect of such an outburst, it is certain that a celestial disaster in which the intensity of the stars light increases many thousand times would bring about-- . complete destruction of life on its planetary worlds, if such existed. may be regarded as a complete reversal of opinion concerning American participation in world engagements and responsibilities was advocated by speakTHE WOULD 8 HEALTH. ers before that gathering.
