THE SHORTCAKE
Aunt Julia knows just what
will please the masculine gal
oot, and from the tall straw
jberry trees she plucks the
! crimson fruit. Then in the
kitchen she proceeds to mix
some kind of dough, that will
supply all human needs and
banish grief and woe. Her
formula? I know it not—she
keeps it 'neath her tile; but
ah, her shortcake, steaming
hot, would make a Timon
smile! She dishes up a gor
geous lump, a chunk the gods
might eat, with cream that
never knew a pump, and sugar
that is sweet. At restaurants
and big hotels much shortcake
have I bought, and drearily the
rrien’ry dwells within my dome
of thought; they use one berry
to a cake—which berry is a
scream—and it goes swimming
j m a lake of blue and ghastly
j cream. Go, tour the world
j from Nome to Rome, no short
I cakes will you find; such
| things are only made at home,
j by aunts of earnest mind. Not
i all the skill of learned savanis
| who cook for queens and
kings, can take the laurels from
our aunts in berry time, by
jings.—Walt Mason.

FEW VIOLATIONS OF GAME
LAW ON YUKON RIVER
After an month’s trip along
I lie Yukon and Tatiana rivers,
Game Warden R. S. McDonald
returned to town on the steam
] or Alaska, which reached town
Monday evening, and in speak
ink of his trip stated ‘hat every
thing was quiet and peaceable
in all the places that he visited.
There were practically no viola
tions of the game law, except
among the natives, who bad
killed a few beaver. Accor
ding to (lie claim of the natives,
they killed the animals for food
as they had no grub and it
was too early to do any fish
ing. Although the killing of
fur-bearing animals comes di
rectly under (he fur warden
and not under the game war
den, Mr. McDonald look no
action in the matter except to
'report conditions as he found
them. On the trip, the game
warden went as far as Fort
Yukon, and from there floated
downstream, stopping at many
places along the stream. Bus
iness along the rivers, accord
ing to his report,is very quiet
at the present time ,but in the
greater part of the places vis
ited a good season was antici
pated by all.—Fairbanks Times

SOLAR ENERGY.
It* Constant Radiation Is Lessening
the Mass of Our Sun.
The work of Einstein on the principle
of relativity shows that a body which
radiates energy loses a portion of its
mass depending on the energy radiat
ed. It follows that the sun. which
continually radiates energy, is con
stantly losing mass. M. J. Bosler has ;
calculated that the sun loses a mass |
equal to that of our earth in 30,000,000
years.
If it be assumed that the mass thus
lost is gravitational mass It follows
that the length of the year Increases
by six seconds in 1,000,000 years and
that in the same time tbe mean longi
tude of tbe earth Is affected Id such a
way as to produce a variation of one
tenth of a year—that is. a retardation
of thirty-six days in the seasons.
Such variations are too minute to
be observable. In stellar systems pos
sessing a higher temperature the ef
fect would be much more marked, for
the energy radiated by a body varies
as the fourth power of its absolute
temperature.
If, as M. Nordmann believes, there
exist stars having a temperature six
or seven times that of our sun their !
radiation is one or two thousand times j
i ns intense. Thus, if the temperature
of Algol is 13,800 degrees. It is ealeu- j
Inted that at the end of 2,000 years the j
eclipses of Algol suffer a retardation ]
of about twelve minutes.—Boston Her- {
aid.
RULE OF THE GLOVE.
Queer Custom of Suspending the Law
In an English Town.
By reason of a curious custom the !
people of the old town of Uoniton, id '
Devonshire, England, are exempt from
arrest from dawn to sunset of a certain
day of the year. It is while the horse
fair there is in progress that the law Is
thus suspended for awhile. The custom
Is a survival of a quaint and pictur
esque ceremonial dating from the days
of King Ilenry III.
At the beginning of the fair the town
1 crier. In the gorgeous dress of a beadle
i of the old days, appears upon the scene
with a pole to the eud of which Is at
tached a large gilt glove decked with
flowers. Having rung his handbell
three times, the crier announces:
‘•Oyez, oyez, oyez! The fair is begun.
Tbe glove is up; no man may be ar
rested until the glove is down. God
save the king!”
Each sentence Is chorused by the
children standing round, and at the
conclusion they scramble for nuts. The
glove is taken down at sunset—St
Louis Republic.
