The membets of the Young Women's
Christian association were given a
genuine trent last evening when Mrs.
Margaret Roberts delivered a lecture
In the rooms on "Astronomy," vkIhk
chalk sketches to Illustrate her re
searches about the stars. The irriuic
whs .based on tho that verse In Om
uls. "In the- beginning God created
the heavens und tho purth." Th'j
speaker said this globe is a star that
has given out Its light. The solar sys
tem Is In a very small compass as ronit
pared with other system!' In space.
All planets revolve around tho ii'in
In an elllptlral path. Mercury Is near
est tho sun and every planet turns on
Its axis In one day. Venus Is almost
ni largo as our own planet. Sho nav
els around the earth faster on account
of cravltntlon. It Is the brightest
jitanet because It la sometimes n.wrr
to us. Mars, the god of war. wor
shipped by ancients, Is tho fourth mm
thf sun. Jupiter wns also worshipped.
The Chaldeans, Assyrians and Hgyp
Hans studied and came almost to a
knowledge of them.
Tho days of the week ate named
nfter these planets. Jupiter Is very
large, with four or five moons of Its
own. Saturn, studied by means of u
telescope. The small globes around It
form a ring of light. Neptune was dl
roversd In this century. All planets
are rclfited bv means of gravlttllon.
The moon N the child of tho earth. In
j evolving one planet throws off a yi.vt
of its substance, which part, according
to natural nllinlty, forms Into another
sphere Our moon formed this way.
The sun, which Is getting rm.iller,
will probably last ten million more
years. Every thirty-three years occurs
a shower of stars. Small panels re
volve lr. a path of their own, and their
path roscs the path of the eatth and
being attached ure drawn down to our
planet.
The speaker also Illustrated the sea

John went to the 'phone nnd tans up

ter answered the cnll and when the
colored boy blurted out that the doc
tor was "nearly dead," she dropped the
receiver nnd hastily Informed Mrs.
Llndabury that her papa had dropped
dead.
Mrs. I.lndabury became hysterical
and nearly fainted, and tho occupants
of the house were In an uproar. Th!
