British Columbia Officials Have Been
Turning Back Persons Who
Wanted to Cross Line.
SEATTLE, Dec. 1.—Commissioner
of Immigration Caminetti arrived in
the city this* morning to hear the
grievances in connection with the
border inspection. The British Co
lumbia authorities have been stopping
persons from going across the line
unless they could prove that they had
business in the province. Many for
eigners in America have been turned j
back at the border and have applied
to the authorities to investigate the
authority of the British Columbia o';
cials.
Hobo Davis, who is recognized as
a leader among the unemployed, has
organized a union of one hundred
men to attend the hearing and tell
of their experiences at the hands of
the British Columbia inspectors.

The steamer carried several former

TWINKLING OF THE STARS.
li Is All In Your Eye and Not In Any
Outside Influences.
Professor F. VV. Eldridge-Green
of London lias made claims that if
nothing else spoil our old favorite
poem of childhood days which be
gins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star,”
for the professor says the stars do
not twinkle at all. In fact he says
the twinkle is all in our eyes, and
he means it literally. Of course he
doesn’t say it in quite this manner.
In fact he is rather technical about
it, but be is a noted savant and lias
made many ponderous reports to
learned British societies, so it is to
be expected. His claims are inter
esting nevertheless.
The “twinkling” of the stars is
not due to something in interstellar
space nor to the earth’s atmos
phere, says the professor, and to
prove his point he rigged up arti
ficial stars in a dark laboratory and
also adduced as evidence the well
known phenomenon of “seeing
stars” when you are struck a blow
on the head, lie placed a small
light in a dark room. A bullseye
lantern five and one-half inches in
lens diameter at 1,000. yards was
equivalent to his little light at
twenty feet distant. If this is look
ed at in a dark room without mov
ing the eye the light will twinkle
exactly like a star.
In this experiment you will notice
that pale bluish violet circles start
at the outside and gradually con
tract at the center. On reaching
the center the light brightens. An
other simple experiment lie used to
show that it is your sensitive retina
and not the outside which causes
the “twinkling” was to open your
eye as you awake in the morning,
then to look at the ceiling. At first
a star shaped, irregular black spot
will appear. On closing the eye
again a bluish violet circle appears,
spreads, contracts, and then, after
breaking up into a star shaped fig
ure, it becomes brighter, disappears
and is followed by another con
t ra.cting circle.
If you open your eye ns the star
figure is formed in the center it will
appear as a rose colored star, much
brighter than any other part of the
field of vision. If, however, you
wait until the star lias broken up
and disappeared before opening the
eye it will be found that only a
black spot is seen in the center.
Many psychologists confirm these
discoveries of the British investiga
tor, and certainly there is no proof
! that star figures appear in the ont
I side world.
I Indeed, we know that tlie distant
j stars as well as the distant earthly
j lights are round or globular, not
j star shaped as they appear in the
j “twinkling of an eye.” Venus, the
, evening star, looks “star shaped"
I until it is enlarged by looking
through a lelescope. Then you.be
i come convinced that it is big and
round.—New York American.
Cistern Filters.
Cisterns that are properly con
structed and receive rain water
from roofs generally afford water of
I good sanitary quality, but if water
j of doubtful quality is stored in cis
terns the supply is of course not
safe for domestic use. Filters used
I in connection with cisterns are of
value in making the water clear,
but are generally of no value in re
moving disease germs. Many cis
terns are divided into two parts by
a brick wall, the water being ad
mitted into one compartment and
drawn from the other. In such cis
terns the water passes through the
brick and in that way is improved in
clearness and color, but not gen
erally in sanitary quality.—United
States Geologicai Survey.
Had Them Breathless For a Moment.
A regular customer at a certain
restaurant was a confirmed non
tipper. Not only so, but lie loudly
advised bis friends not to tip. . At
last, says the Manchester Guardian,
the waitresses resolved to give him
a lesson. One brought him his
change before his friends. It was
Is. 5d., all in coppers, neatly spread
on a tray. The mean man looked at
it, and his friends thought that this
time he would have to give some
thing. y
“There’s a penny,” said the non
tipper. For a moment it was
thought that he had swerved from
his principles, but he added, “Now,
young woman, take all that away
and get me a shilling and a six
pence.”
Slipshod Ways on a Ship.
The steamship moved slotvljf Up
the narrows, abreast of quarantine.
There was; a tremendous rattle and
clonk and splash. Aunt Drusilla
called a steward. # „ '
“What was thnt, steward r” bne
asked.
“Nothin’, lady—only dropped the
anchor, ma’am.”
“I thought they would,” answer-:
ed Aunt Drusilfa disapprpvyigty,
“They’ve been very careless with it.
I’ve seen it hanging over the side
all day.”—New York Poat.
