» | d i , in the Fly Screens Make Saturn To Put It's | Rings on Display Unique Planet to Show Itself . More Clearly Late in Month Saturn, regarded by many astron- +8 the most spectacular planet volar system, will become con- spicuous in the evening sky during the latter part of this month. In the early: evening Saturn will be seen in the constellation Sagittarious and « later, as the night advances, will move to the southwest quarter of the hea- \ ns. " With the aid of a small telescape it is possible to see the mysterious rings that circle Saturn. On a clear night one can alsp see the smaller details of the planet, such as the bands that cross the globe and the dark divisions that separate the rings into several parts. Among the planets, Satuen is next to Jupiter in size and mass. It per- forms its revolution round the sun in iwenty-mine and -a half years. Although Saturn is far from being as bright as Jupiter, its rings make it one of the most magnificent sights in the skies. There is nothing else in the heavens similar to these rings, and for that very reason Saturn for a long time was an enigma to observ- ers with the telescope. Teo Galileo these rings first appeared as two » handles to the planet. After a year or two they completely disappeared from his view. Astronomers now know that this occurred because, owing to the motion of the planet in its orbit, they were seen edge-on, when they are so thin as to Le invisible in a telescope as imperfect as that of Galileo's. The disappearance, however, was a source of great embarrassment to the philosopher, who is said to have feared that he had been the victim of some illusion on the subject and ceased to observe Saturn. After more than forty years, the riddle of "the handles" was solved by Huyghens, the Dutch astronomer and physicist, who an- nounced that the planet _was sur- rounded by a thin plane ring, nowhere touching it. Besides it: rings, Saturn is sur- ronded by a retinuz of eight satel- lites--a greater number than any other known planet possesses. The existence of a ninth satellite has heen suspectad, A qr oye Good Fertilizers Wire screen for garde.s, like fly screens in the windows of a house but standing only one one or two sides of fruit trees, flowers or vegetables in- stead of surrounding them completely, are advocated by a German engineer, Herr E. Falkenthal, of Dahlem, a sub- urb of Berlin, as a cheap substitute for fertilizers. Merely to erect a wire screen a few feet high alongside 2 row, r example, of young fruit trees or eurrant bushes will make these plants grow at least 50 per cent faster, it is announced, as well as inducing the ma- ture plants to produce more and better fruit. The reason, plant physiologists believe, is that the wire screen lets gentle air currents pass through it, but prevents wind. Virtually all plantg lose water continually from their leaves, much as human beings perspire through the skin. The rate at which this water is lost has much to do "with the plant's healt .and growth, In very warm, moist atmos- pheres many plants do not grow well because the passage of water up the stems and out of the leaves is too slow. Tn hBt, dry climates, on the other hand, only desert plants can grow because other kinds of plants lose water too rapidly. Strong winds, Herr Kalken- thal points out, are almost as powerful drying agents as desert heat. Plants exposed to wind tend to lost too much water and to grow slowly. Decreasing this wind by the wire screens lessens the too-great water loss and makes the plants grow better. r PTT -- "- Pesing for Photographs 'When one meets a relative or a friend, even if one is prepared for that meeting beforehand, onz does not put on a fixed grin, a smirk, or an ex- pression of the utmost agony.. Unfortunately, that is what hap- pens in most photographic studios, 1t is not entirely the fault of the photo- grapher, because he cannot help lack- ing the manner to inspire confidence and comfort. <a . The rea. way to take a photograph ig to get the sitter's mind in perfect | harmony with his surrou dings, There should be, above all, subdued light- ing; attractive, but not too blatant, decorations. A little natural conversation might be indulged in, about current events, while the client is preparing himself | or herself to be "taken." i The old-fashioned method of telling children to "watch and see a little, dickey-bird" appear in the camera lens would be treated nowauays with scorn ' and, by some young folks, with fear. | _ Thaore should be some concrete evi- (.tc: of amusing and attractive things abeu:, such as toys and comical draw. ing A new idea would be to employ sone one to tell fairy stories while children were being photographed, and to click | the shutter when the most interested | expression appeared. i "Governments should lead often, and coerce seldom."--Lord Dawson. Pale Faces Jaded Nerves Due To Weak, Watery Blood. Anaemia -- impoverished blood -- comes so stealthily that it ic often well | advanced before recognized. Fatigue and discomfort, the earliest manifes- tations of the trouble, are seldom taken seriously. Soon the face be- comes pale; the nerves jaded; the heart palpitates violently after the slightest exertion; the appetite be. comes fickle and before you realize you are in a terrible plight. & * At such time, by enricaing and puri fying the blood, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will build up the nerve cells and correct the run-down condition. Con- cerning them Miss Margaret Torrey, Toronto, Ont, says: --*1 suffered a completo breakdown. My heart would palpitats on :he least exertion. Noth- 'Ing I ate agreed with me.

There she'll sit and never stir Till understanding touches her, Or a warm wind wanders from the town, And a great gold pear comes tumb- ling down' Still she'll only sit and stare At the precious fruit and the empty alr, Praising God for a single pear.

Birth of Princesses " Rare in Scotland Only 32 Royal Princsion Born in Scotland Since ; the Days of Mal- . colm Canmore The birth of a second daughter to the Duke and Duchess of York has' sent many peoplé back to their school books. In fact there has been such a digging into history--for by a curl- ous paradox the interest in the past seems to' grow with the increase Th! democracy--that we have been many times assured that the Infant Princess! is the first Royal child born in Scot: land since Charles I. saw the light at 'Dunfermline 'in 1600. If, however, the quidnuncs had stated that she was: the first Royal child of the blood born 'beyon1 the Border since that date they would be near the truth, for the! Queen of Spain and her youngest brother Prince Mau'ice were both born at Balmoral. Neither of them, however, was in the 'ine of succession to our throne, for their father, Prince Henry of Battenburg, was created Royal Highness only after his mar- riage with Princess Beatrice. While the commenters have been very busy with their nistory books they have omitted to point out that it! the birth of Royal children has be- come rare in Scotland since the; Union of crowns, Royal princesses have always been rather rareties in Scotland. Since the days of Male colm Canmore only uiirty-two Royal princesses have been born in Scotland. Curiously enough, too, only four of these princesses married kings. Sev- eral died in childhood or did not wed, while the majority married foreign or Scottish and occasionally English noblemen, The Duke's Ancestress Matilda, the elder daughter of Mal- colm Canmore--whose father, Duncan I, was murdered by Macbeth -- by marrying Henry I, of England in 1100 became the ancestress of the Duke of York, while her sister, Mary, married the Count of Boulogne. = The three daughters of William the Lion married English peers, while Margaret, tne daughter of Alexander III, married the King of Norway and was the, mother of Mavgaret, the poor little Maid Norway, who became Queen of Scotland and died in the Orkneys in 1200 at the age of seven, on her way from Bergen to England. Had she, lived there might never have been a struggle for the Crown. That led to the War of Independence, which has| made Wallace and Bruce the great heroes in the Scottish saga. With the] death of Bruce's son, David II, the | male line died out, and the House of Stuart, of which 'Queen Victoria was so proud, came into the picture through the marriage of Bruce's daughter, Marjorie, with Walter, sixth High Steward of Scotland, whose only son, Robert 11, was the first Stuart King. Princess Jean Lyon This monarch is particularly inter- esting to the Duchess of York, for the third of his seven. daughters, Jean who lived in the fourteenth century, was, through her (second) marriage with Sir John Lyon, Chamberlain of Scotland the ancestress of the Earls of Strathmore. In view of this fact, may it not be suggested that the new baby should be called Jean, although that would be a"ne¥ name for a prin- cess in the British Royal family? All the six sisters of Princess Jean Lyon married Scottish peers or com- moners, and their descendants today must number many hundreds. This custom of the sovereign's daughters marrying subjects was in abeyance for a long time. None of the Georges' daughters married British subjects, but the old custom was revived when Princess Louise married the Marquis of Lorne, while her niece Louise mar- ried the Duke of Fife, and Princess Mary became Viscountess Lascelles. To the delight of everyone the in- fant Princess's father followed in their wake. On the other hand, five of the six daughters of James I, of | Scotland, mhrried foreign notables-- in France, Austria, Holland, and Italy --the eldest, Margaret, marrying the Dauphin of France, who in due eourse became Louis XI. The Dynastic Link By far the most famous of all prin- cesses born in Scotland was Mary Queen of Scots, who was born at Lin- lithgow a week before her father died at Falkland. Littia did he think when [ he' said of the dynasty, "It cam' wi' a lass and it'll gang wi' a lass," that ' his intensely fascinating child would form the dynastic link bewteen the Scots and the English crowns in the ! person of her son, James VI. and I, , 80 little like her in temperament. + It was Queen Mary's desire to fol- low the dictates of her heart and . marry among her "ain fowk" that had much to do with the tragedy of her | life. Her marriage at the age of six- . teen to the Dauphin of France, after- wards Frances II, was more or less arranged for her. But she did what , she wanted to do when she married Lord Darnley, the father of her son, and still more when she married Both- well The last royal princess but one to he born in Scotland was James's bril-! llant daughter, Elizabeth, who was' born at Falkland Palace, Fifeshire, in: Augugt 1696. She should" not even ' dréati, when she 'wad Married at the age of seventeen to the Elector Pala- _ tine of the Rhine and King of Bo- hemia, that her grandson, George Lewis, Electow of Hanover, would be- "Bacteriophage" Greatly Reduces Cholera Death Rate in India| An impressive reduction in cholera | death rate, effected by a remedy called "bacteriophage," fs reported by J.

Rub firmly into the affected parts with a pad of soft cloth, then rinse well, with tepid water to which a little borax has been added. To freshen stale bread, sprinkle with cold water to which a pinch of baking soda has been added. Add a pinch of baking soda when stewing fruit, This brings all the impurities to the top. A gargle of baking soda and water is soften very effective, Use a tea- spoonful of the soda to each tumbler- ful of water, which should be tepid. A little baking soda dissolved in tepid water will often counteract acidity in the stomach. ------------ A cme.
