The scientists that heard from the learned Chicago astronomer Moulton about the earth’s probable age, one million billion years, practically all of it still ahead of us, heard also about the size of our corner of space, our “galaxy” in which the sun is as a gsain of sand. It is shaped like a watch, its dimen sions are thirty thousand light years through from front to back, two hun dred million light years through the wide way, across the fact of the watch. To get the distance across our galaxy multiply the number of sec onds in two hundred thousand years by one hundred and eighty-six thous and miles, which will give you some thing over a quintrillion of miles written with one, followed by eigh teen zeros, according to rapid pro bably inaccurate figuring on the edge of a newspaper. Let your little boy do the sura. " X But remember there are in that galaxy of ours about one billion suns many of them a million times as big Which is a mUSion times as big as our earth. And the billion suns above about like bees in a swarm. If two of them come too close together, the planets of both suns are instantly wiped out of existence. That happens only once in a million billion years, on the average. But it might happen any day, therefore it is well to always be prepared with a clean slate.

Miss Thelma McLeod is spending some time at her home in Live Oak, Fla. Celestino Fabittti, marriage clerk in Rome for twenty-three years, says marriage is an art. To know a man well watch him closely when he pro nounces the fatal “Yes.” Men are more afraid of marriage than women, says Fabiette, and a child might know that. Schopenhauer calls marriage a fe male conspiracy to make every man support some woman all her life. That, says he, ia why women are mercilessly ctoel to other women that do not Insist on marriage. The fact is that marriage is g, training school for men; women are the professors, and progress is slow.
