"Ix)ok up at AUlebaran. the red first
magnitude star In the eye of Taurus.
It is going away from you at a speed
' of thirty five miles per secoud, seventy
] times as fast as the swiftest cannon

j 3.000.000 miles farther than it was

a thousand years.
"Then fix your eyes on a little star
under the feet of Orion, which astrono
mers call Delta Leporls. it is flying
away from us at the rate of sixty-two
miles per second. That means a re

tween one night and the next, and yet
Delta I.eporls does not sensibly fade
It is like a distant steamer's light—so
far away to begin with that no altera,

the time elapsed begins to bear some
appreciable proportion to the space that
intervenes.
"If you will regard another little star

"The magnificent Arcturus Is retiring

That In Reality Is What Is Meant
by Martial Law. *
SUSPENDS ALL OTHER LAWS.
Tfcose In Command Have Supreme Au
thority, and There Is No Check Upon
Their Arbitrary Power Over Persons
and Property of All Kinds.
Wliat is martini law? Some people
have a vague idea that It is military
law, but this is a mistake. Military
law lias not hint; whatever to do with
martial law. .Military law Is simply
that branch of the laws applicable to
military service and duties, consisting
of the statutes, regulations and prin
ciples by which the army and Its af
fairs are governed. The misunder
standing has arisen partly from the
name given to it and partly from the
fact that it is the military which fre
quently carry out the regulations,
while often the military forms of
courts are held.
The police, however. If duly author
ized. may carry out martial law.
It is difficult to define the meaning of
martial law In nontechnical words.
The dictionary definition of martial law
Is that It is military authority exer
cised in accordance with the laws and
usages of war when the civil authority
Is wholly or partly suspended, either
by proclamation or by the actual pres
ence of a hostile force. But the best
definition ttiven bus been that of "no
law."
If means that tile supreme authority
Is empowered to do as it wills audthnt
all ordinary laws, for the time being,
have no operation whatever. There are
no laws dealing with Its application,
those In command possessing entirely
aibitrar.v power.
This means tli.it there will be a com
pletu revolution in the ways of tf;e
people wherevei martial law Is pro
claimed All ordinary life will be af
fectcd. and it will no longer be the
case that "an Knglishman's home is
his castle."
As n rule, when a place is under
martial law its Inhabitants must clear
out of the streets before a certain
time every evening, say 8 o'clock
.Then all places of amusement, public
bouses and so on are closed entirely.
Even during the daytime a limit is
made as to the nnmber of people who
may assemble, so that a party of peo
ple— numbering above, say, half a doz
en—would be liable to Instant punish
ment Also certain places and certain
streets are forbidden to the people,
who may be compelled to keep beyond
a certain radius from the specified
places.
Ttiose in authority may take any
object tbey like from anywhere, enter
ing houses as well as shops to com
mandeer whatever they wish without
any control. Any person may be com
pelled to give a complete account of his
movements, past, present and project
ed, and may be searched or even ar
rested without a warrant
Crimes are dealt with very severely
Thus suppose a man breaks a win
dow. Instead of being hauled tip be
fore a magistrate and subjected to a
small fine, the policeman would be
perfectly Justified in shooting him im
mediately.
So in the case of robbery. A man
3teallng a purse need not be arrested,
but could lie shot, this being a perfect
ly Justifiable action oil the part of
those In authority.
Every person might be compelled to
carry n passport, giving full evidence
of his Identification Passports would
be necessary in the case of those using
homes or vehicles of nny kind. Includ
ing cycles.
All persons who were compelled to
be out at night would bi provided
witb special nigbt passes signed by
the one in authority. No person would
be allowed to leave one town for an
other or travel beyond n certain dis
tance without being the possessor of
a properly signed passport given for
this special purpose.
Tbe object, of course. Is to keep the
pecple within certain districts and also
to prevent foreitrn spies and the like
from moving into the country and so
gleaning Information of value to our
enemies.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Imperial Rome.
There are various estimates of the
population of ancient Home. The fig
ure given by Gibbon Is 1.200.000.
Baker. In his notes to Montesquieu's
"Grandeur and Decadence of the Uo
mans," gives good reasons for thinking
that Rome's population was 2.000,000
Tbe city had within Its walls in the
time of Tbcodosius 4S.332 habitations,
built, as a rule, with several stories.—
New York American.
The Word "Rajah."
Literally the word rajah mentis kins,
and mnhnrnjoh the great kins or ruler
over several kings. bnt generally
speaking the titles rajali, main rajah
and nawnb have no greater significance
than the words feudal lords as used In
mediaeval times In Europe. Many of
them have been made by the will of
the reigning chief, many bestowed for
meritorious acts and deeds.—Exchange.
Foreign Decorations.
The various decorations that have
been given to American officers and of
ficials by foreign governments are de
posited in the state department, where
the recipients may see them and show
them to their fr'etids. but may not take
them away or use them as having pos
