SKKY1SH. Astronomers have heen crratly puzzled nf late by a cnrloiiK apparition In the heavenK which Is supponed to be a new asteroid, or small planrt, traveling In an eccentric orbit which, at times, brings It nearer to the earth than any other body except the moon. More over, It seems to have a most ex traordinary shape, Hs,lf it were a hug slab of rock or metal, very thin in proportion - to its length and breadth. At least that Is th suggestjqn offered by Mr. Crommelln, the calculator of the orbit of Haley's comet, This - remarkable object was first detected by Ijr. Palls of Vienna at the beginning of October. A few tights be fore,1 Dr. Pallsa had discovered a new asteroid In that quarter of the sky, and at the. same time he noticed that what he had taken for the Image of a star on his photographic chart - had disap peared. On October J he, 'was astonished to ste close by his new . asteroid another object, which appeared to be moving rapidly away. He repeated his obnervaiiuiie, .iu en the. following nlpht they were con firmed by Herr Pe;hule at Copenhagen. Then, owing to cloudy weather, combined with the dimming effect of full moon light,' the strange pbject was loBt to view. Rut on October 2t It was photographed at the Greenwich observatpry. furiously .enough, however, on the very next night the Greenwich astronomers were unable to find the object, and it appears not to have been seen sfnee. Its curious conduct as to visibility, now appearing plainly and now disappearing, led to the suggestion of Mr. Crommelln already tnentloned. According to this the object, while It could not be less than a couple of miles broad, may be so thin that when turned edgwlse toward the earth It cannot be seen.' When the broad face c THANKFUL TO BE AL1VE By Jonies W. Mct.ee. The Beef Trust's up for trial, Though the .price of beefs up, too; But. b'gosh, we can be thankful That the Bf Trust s In or stew.

The existence of such an object In the solar system serves to recall attention to the v theory of the German astronomer Olbers, that the small planets called as teroids may be fragments of a larger planet which has exploded. These frag ments, especially the smaller ones, may be of almost any form, and, owing to the attraction of the larpe planets, the orbits which they pursue through the sky may be gradually changed In position. One of the principal objections to this theory has been that we cannot well con ceive of any force whleh'eould cause a planet to explode, and be shattered and rcattered broadcast In space. Hut Dr. Gustav Le Bon, reasoned from the In tegration characterises all matter, sug gests that explosions among worlds may not be such inconceivable phenomena as has been supposed. "It must not be forgotten," he. says, "that the atom, being an enormous reser voir of energy, is by this very fact com parable with explosive bodies. These last remain Inert so long as their Internal equilibria are undisturbed, -hut so soon as some cause or other modifies these they explode and smash everything around them, after being themselves broken to pieces." -1 "WOMAN LET VOUl tICrT 5rre dEOB.

Her mother told me she had a position In soma big law office and gave me the address of the place she Is boarding. No. West Twenty-second street. If you have any time you might call on her. I'm sure she would be glad to see you. It must be very hard for her to start out alone for herself In a strango city. But since her fathers death think they are In pretty bad wsy.

Helen resolved to go see her at once. And this was Saturday, the one ' after noon she might be at home, for she would probably have only a half-day at the office. At any rate, she had some errands downtown and it would not be much out of tho way to stop there. It was just 4 when Helen rang the bell at No. West Twenty-second street. It ws a dingy, old-fashioned house. A muddy grass mat was Inside the vestibule and some soiled netting covered the glass panel of the door. A slovenly German girl answered the bell and Oshercd Helen into the dark, shabby parlor. The whole place had an air of dreary dejection. Helen gnsed around while the maid climbed reluct antly up the sxa;rs to see if "Miss WIN son was In." It wn not often that Helen had occasion to call at a boarding house, and she was curiously Interested In It all. There were some cheap Japanese vases on the mantel, a black marble clock (not running), some shells and a dusty pleoe of coral. The once "old rose" upholstered furniture was torn threahare, the worst places on the arms and back of the clbalra being covered with tidies. Home faded chenille "portieres" hung over the - . . . - . i- - . 1 . A I.I. ,k. "hflnl, lolullig ooors ini ica "-. parlor," now undoubtedly used as a bed room. There was a sound of eager, steps on the stairs and 1-uura Wilson appeared at the door. Her surprise and pleasure in seeing Helen were most evident. "How long have you been hare?" asked Helen, when the first greetings were over. "Almost three montns now. And you like It?" "IJke It? Oh, I'm so home-sick," with a catch In her voice. "I can hardly stay. The day at the office Isn't so bad but oh. the evenings and Bundays! I almost die of homesickness then. Sunday In a boarding house is the most depressing think In the world." Helen smiled, "is, I suppose It 1. But you mui.t come and see us after this. We're almost always home on Sundays. You should have looked mo up or let me know you were here." A little later I-aura asked If Helen would like to see her room. "It's not, much of a room," with a laurh; "but I don't think It s quite as funereal as this parlor." They went up three flights of stairs to the little room the fourth floor back. "Wait, I II light the gas. That'll make thing look less cheerless." The furniture was even shabbier than that In the parlor, but I.aura hud put out a few of her own things, it 1 some times amazing what a few photographs, a half-dosen books, a work basket and the personal belongings of a dainty wo nisn will do for even tho most hopeless loom. "Not a very charming outlook, It is?" nodding toward the landscape of roofs and clothes lines outside the window. "At first those gray roofs and back yards gave me the horrors-but I'm getting more used to them now." "Hut you're not in your room very much?" ventured Helen. "No, on'y on Bunduys." with a shud der, "and 1 think I'm becoming obsessed with the horror of that day. IJon'i let mo talk about It.

And you'll look forward to Sundays Instead of dreading them." 'Yes. but It'll be at loot ri Mnn.k. before I can hope to do that-lf I don't die of home sickness In the meantime.

Her cry of "Oh. the Sundays and holldays-I can bear anything else'" kept haunting her. When Warren came home the told him of her call. "And, oh, she's living the dreariest most depressing boarding house. I've Invited her for dinner Christmas Eve, And I thought we might have Miss Fan. ton and Mrs. Sandford you know, they're both slone, and It must be so hard to tpend the holidays In a boarding house. And, oh, Miss Andrews, too I always feet so sorry for her. Don't eu see, dear, we'll make our Christmas ISv. din ner a dinner for the homeless." "Humph-a lot of detached females and I'll have to take thera all home." "But won t It be worth while to give them one evening away from their board ing houses and a real horn, dinner?" "All rlgh, go ahead. But don't count ma In on the entertaining. This Is your party you'll have to put It over yourself,' "Oh, J will," gleefully, coming over and kissing him.
