BOUNDING THE INFINITE
re the Numbir of Stars In Spaoa
Without Limit 7
How many stars are there? It Is not
known, but most astronomers believe
the number Is not unlimited. The ar
gument Is that with nn Infinite uni
verse of stars the heavens would be
one uniform blaze of light Tho more
distant stars are, of course, dimmer
some are too far away to effect the
naked eye at all, but no matter bow
slight the units an Infinite number of
them would produce tho effect de
scribed. As there Is no unilomily blazing sky,
the number of stars, though possibly
Immensely great, must be limited.
This argument Is supplemented in a
recent astronomical paper by n similar
one drawn from gravitation. Every
star, no matter how distant, exercise
its own power of attraction on every
other heavenly body, Including our
earth.
However, as the earth's center is
farther away from the attracting body
than its surface is, particles- on the
earth's surface are attracted with
greater force than those at the center,
I and the practical result Is to lessen the
force with which the earth's mass Is
held together.
Now, If the number of stars Is infi
nite, this decrease would be so great
that weight on the earth would practi
cally cease to exist Moreover, the
same conditions-would prevail every
where throughout a boundless universe
and probably an masses would be dis
rupted. That this result does not oc
cur is a proof, we are told, that the
number of heavenly bodies in exist
ence Is not Infinite.
These arguments make certain as
sumptions that may or may not be
granted; they can neither be proved nor
disproved. The argument from light as
sumes that light waves are transmit
ted through space without loss; that
from gravitation assumes that the
same thing Is true for gravitational
attraction.
If light or gravitation Is absorbed or
lost In some way when passing from
star to star, the number of stars may
be Infinite after all. At Its best the
speculation Is more curious than con
clusive. Chicago Record-Herald.
STRENGTH OF AN EAGLE.
Wonderful Power In tha Bird's Clowe
and Laga.
While I cannot give any positive
proof of how much a bald eaglo can
carry, I should suppose, declares a
writer in Forest and Stream, that he
could carry at least as much .in pro
portion to his weight as a hawk or a
horned owl. I hare the recorded
weight of a male bald eagle weighing
nlno and a quarter pounds and a fe
male weighing twelve pounds.
A horned owl will weigh from four
to five pounds, and I have several
times Uuowm one to carry off a large
house cat One cat was very large,
and the owner told me be could bear
the cat cry as he was being carried
off. Xow, any one who will weigh a
large house cat will find It to weigh
at least ten pounds. ...
I have mou a goshawk carry off a
hen fully twJsftJtl own weight and I
nave taken from marsh hawk a very
large chicken which would wttlpb
more than twice what the hawk would.
The marsh bawk la one of our weak
est hawks, but he bad carried this
chicken over a quarter of a mile. My
belief is that If a bawk or horned owl
can carry more than twice its weight
(and I know positively that they can)
then an eagle could, If occasion re
quired, do a. much In proportion to
his weight which would be to carry
eighteen or twenty pounds.
Once when an eagle, shot through
the body with a rifle ball, lay on bis
back I up ended a long road skid and
dropped it on blm. Before It reached
him he stretched up and caught it In
his claws and held It the length of
his legs above him. I walked up on
the skid and stood above him, and he
easily held me and the skid, which I
should Judge would weigh more than
twenty pounds. I took pains to be
weighed the same day and weighed
119 pounds. Put a stick In the claw of
a wounded eagle and let him grasp a
small tree with the other, and a man
must be stronger than I ever was to
take the stick from him.

Horsas With Shall Peat
A horse that has iwor or shell foet
must be treated carefully, ns follows:
First see that they never becomo ex
cessively dry. INjuItlee the feet for
two weeks In warm bran masli tied to
the feet in bags. Change twice n day.
After using It for two weeks mix two
dram, of cantharlde. with an ounce
of lard and rub It la well around the
coronet. l,eave this on for three
week, and apply again. If this Is per
sisted In a new growth of born will be
formed,
Caked. Bag In Ewes.
Hot water application, will often re
lieve a simple case of enked bag In a
ewe, and rubbing with camphor Is also
good. Tbe best plan Is to prevent this
trouble by seeing that the udder Is
well milked out after lambing.
Coal Ashes For Uoe.
For many years I have known that
for lice on bogs, horsoa, cattle and
chickens coal ashes are a sure cure,
My. a breeder. I sift my coal ashes
and dust the hogs well with the fine
ashes and throw plenty In their sleep
ing apartments, and the -lice go. For
eolts put the flue ashes along the buck
from tbe top of tbe bead to the tall
and work the ashes In with tbe band
along tbe back and down the .Idea.
Treat cattle tbe same way.
For Manga In Cattle.
Mange or scabies, called eczema by
some, I. a parasite that burrows hi the
skin of young or unthrifty old animals
and causes trouble. Apply thoroughly
to cattle oil of tar one ounce and whale
oil twenty ounces.

Value of Warm Quarters.
Warm, dry quarters will go a long
way toward keeping tbe stock com
fortable, and stock; when comfortable
will grow and fatten much better and
with lew feed than when left to take
care of themselves.
Impossible to be Well
It is impossible to be well, simply impossible, If the
bowels are constipated. You must pay attention to the
laws of nature, or suffer the consequences. Undigested
material, waste products, poisonous substances, must be
removed from the body at least once each day, or there
will be trouble. A sluggish liver is responsible for an
immense amount of suffering and serious disease. Ask
your doctor about Ayer's Pills. He knows why they act
directly on the liver. Trust him. . c. Am Co. . Lnwtll, Man.
