THE CRUSH OF WORLDS
What Would Happen if a Dead Sun
Invaded Our Solar System
It Is possible though It Is not prov
ed that stars may sometimes ap
proach one another and even leap
madly from their spheres What
would happen were an unknown star
or a dead sjii to invade our solar sys
tem asks a wrilei in the Loudon Il
lustrated News who answers tils que
ry in two wifys In the tirst plare the
star might rush straight Into the sun
and by the heat of the collision re
duce l he sun and all its planets to a
nebulous mass without form or struc
ture But it is more mathematically
probable that just as comets approach
circle and recede from the sun so the
starry Invader of our system would
approach our system and recede from
it having altered it beyond recogni
tion
But what would be Its effect upon
our sun The sun as we know It
today Is explosively elastic Ireat
tongue1 of lame which would con
sume a little planet like ours at a
mouthful continually leap from it
with speeds of several hundred miles
a second This enormous explosive
force Is restrained only by the greater
force of the suns gravity But If an
nppruacuiim star as great as the sun
nine within striking distance of it
then along the line joining the two
bodies each would begin to pull the
other as today the moon pulls up the
earths oceans
The mighty pull of the Invading star
would neutralize the suns gravity in
one direction and the sun would in a
sense explode Out from our ances
tral sun and from opposite sides of
It would Hy two great lengthening
arms of matter reaching far beyond
the farthest planet As the star
passed its moving mass would give a
further twist to the sun and would
pull the arms of matter into the shape
of a great double spiral Form and
motion would thus be imparted to the
nebula thus created and from the
solar system thus extinguished in ca
tastrophe a new sun with planets con
densing from the lumps and inequali
ties in the projecting arms would
arise
CAPE HATTERAS
The Chitting Sands and Point ot This
Isolated Place
There are few names more widely
known in the United States or locali
ties about which a greater ignorance
prevails than Cape Hatteras Situated
as it is at the angle where the long
strip of sand beach from Cape Henry
south turns at a right angle to the
westward with the widest part of
Pamlico sound between it and the
mainland and with the beach both
west and north cut into several islands
by inlets from sound to ocean its po
sition is isolated No means of trans
portation exist along the beach and
with the nearest railway station from
which a regular transportation route
is operated nearly a hundred miles
away it is an easier place to talk
about than to visit
Like all sand promontories the point
of the cape is always moving An old
wreck imbedded deep in the sand and
showing only the stumps of her masts
and bowsprit and the rusty skeletons
of what were once her chain plates
and dead eyes is now a quarter of a
mile or more inland Twenty years
ago she is said to have lain in the
water where she struck or drifted
ashore the land now outside of her
having been built up since by the ac
tion of the wind and the waves
Two features connected with the
sailing of the Ashing skiffs used here
abouts are new to me One is that of
using a member of the crew as shift
ing ballast A plank is ruu out over
the side the inner end caught under
the lee washboards while on the outer
end with legs dangling over the water
sits the man acting as ballast and
this not in racing mind you but in
every day sailing The other is the
practice of nodding as I heard it
called In moderate weather when the
skiff is only lightly gliding along one
man will stand up alongside the cen
terboard on the weather side and fac
ing outward will steadily rock side
wise from one foot to the other with
faster And perhaps it does Char

The Red Sea
In the Red sea reefs of bright pink
coral are clearly to be seen Much of
the rocky bed of this sea is the work
of the coral insect But probably the
true reason for the name of the Red
sea is because along its eastern shore
lies ancient Edoni This word signifies
red It was given to the regiou not
from the color of its sandstone hills
but from its people These are the
descendants of him who came in faint
and weary from hunting and said to
his brother Feed me 1 pray thee
with that same red pottage for I am
faint therefore was his name called
Edom
Only a Man
Little Muriel flew into the house
flushed and breathless
Oh mother she cried dont scold
me for being late to tea for Ive had
such a disappointment A horse fell
down and they said that they were
going to send for a horse doctor so of
course I had to stay And after Id
waited and waited he came and oh
mother what do you think It wasnt
a horse doctor at all It was only a

Spain makes the young Spanisl
monarch Alfonso XII 1 a tig
ure of striking interest and
much depends on his keeping his head
during the present crisis
It is thirty four years since the pies
ent ruling family was called back to
the throne wrested from it
Alfonso XII father of the present
king was still a child when his moth
er Isabel II was dethroned by the
will of her people in 1S3 lie was
educated in France Austria and Eng
land and was only seventeen when
Martinez Campos proclaimed him king
in 1S73 Spain had had a constitu
tion since lSlli but it was in name
only The real power in the time of
Isabel II was absolutely In the hands
of a palace camarilla and the priest
hood All this was cleared si way by
the bloodless revolution which Span
iards still speak of as sLa Gloriosa
and Alfonso was called to the throne
as a strictly constitutional monarch
He himself took part in the war
which once for all put an end to the
j bow OlIIMij
AlrOKSO Sill KING OF SPAIN
machinations of the Carlist pretender
who had for so long steeped his coun
try in blood
His tirst marriage ended tragically
After a time he married again to
please his people the Austrian arch
duchess who filled the difficult post of
regmit during the minority of his sou
He died while still In his first youth
after a short illness leaving two young
daughters and the possibility of a third
child Alfonso XIII -was in fact born
a king on May 17 1SSJ six months
after his fathers death
While King Alfonso XII was called
to the throne at the early age of sev
enteen his son took the oath to ob
serve the constitution for there is no
ceremony of coronation in Spain when
only sixteen and lie has just reached
his twenty third birthday
He married the Princess Ena Vic

A SNAKE STORY
The Yarn That Was Spun by a Trav
eler In Australia
An Australian traveler says that he
was one day walking in the thick
scrub collecting specimens wheu he
came upon a large light brown snake
a species of python coiled upon the
ground
He was by far the finest one he had
ever seen at large Lie was probably
ten or twelve feet long and as thick
as a mans leg at the knee
He looked savage enough to devour a
man and t tirst the collector felt half
Inclined to run away
He recovered himself however and
was on the point of shooting the ser
pent with a charge of dust shot in
order to carry home his skin when H
occurred to him that he would be
worth five times as much if he were
taken alive
I had he says a leather strap
with a buckle in my game bag ard
with this I determined to noose the
snake
I started toward him but when I
came near he partly uncoiled opened
ills mouth very wide thereby dido
Ing his sharp teeth and hissing spite
fully struck at me I dodged behind
a small tree and leaning out as fai
as 1 dared tried several times to
noose him
After I had teased him for some
time he suddenly started off at full
speed I caught my gun and by din
of hard running through the thick
scrub managed to bead him off lie
coiled sind again I tried the noose but
he put his head under his colls in a
very sulky manner I reached out from
my shelter behind a tree and cauirh
him by the tail but he pulled away
with great force and glided off again
This time he took refuge under a
fallen tree and before I could head
him off was gliding down the hole of
some wild animal
I reached the spot just as the- last
two or three feet of his body were
disappearing and seizing his tail with
both hands I hung on desperately
With my feet braced against a limb
of the tree I pulled till the tail cracked
and snapped as if it would break auu
der Sometimes he pulled me to with
in a few inches of the hole and then
I would brace myself against the limb
and drag him halfway out
At last I grew so tired that I had
to let go my hold and with many re
grets I saw tlie last few inches of the
tail disappear beneath the earth
THE DUTCH KITCHEN
Largest Room In the House and Has a
Bed In the Corner
nolland of all countries is a memo
rial to the unceasing labor of mans
hands It exists not because the mm
higher than its green stretches suffers
it to but because man by the labor of
his hands and of his brain has kept
the water back The Dutch people
have not only earned their land they
have made it
When have they found time to do
it all you ask yourself But you are
to know more of the work which in
Holland never ceases Of the work
which noes on within those houses you
know nothing until at Delft you make
your first acquaintance with a Dutch
kitchen
The kitchen is properly a large room
as compared with the other rooms in
the house for it is the gathering place
at all times for the family The table
is round and stands not quite in the
center of the room but so that the
mistress sitting at one side can reu h
her hand out to the stove without ris
ing
In one corner of the kitchen is such
a bed as you have never seen before
The stifily starched white muslin cm
tains make it look like a blind window
but the grandson pulls the curtains
back and in the recess formed by the
closet on one side and the corner ot
the room on the other you see the
place where your hostess sleeps There
are a high feather bed aud many cover
ings
The stove is a brick one set in a
deep old fireplace The old mantel is
piled with brass vessels which the
old woman uses as though they were
common tin On one side is a china
statue of the Virgin On the other side
under a glass globe is a waxen statue
of Queen Wilhelmina in her wedding
gown New Idea Magazine
