P. Langley, using the large telescope in Allegheny (Pa.) observatory, to which was attached the most sensitive bolometer ever made, able to detect one-millionth of a degree of heat, was just able to detract a trace of heat from the colossal -suns Arcturns, Vega and Sirius. He could detect by the sensitive platinum nerve, thinner than hair, the presence of heat, but the intensity was too small to measure with accuracy. Of course, take the same telebolome- ter to these suns, turn around and look at our sun, and no trace of its heat energy could be detected, our sun being so much smaller, and it is cool er than the great suns mentioned.

They were placing: in Jeopardy their lives, repu tations Bud estates. They pledged to each other "our lives, our fortunes aud our sacred honor." On July 2 they bad rntod hr ctataa a nrt mmmisl for immediate independence. Jefferson wrote the Declaration. He afterward declared the reason Franklin was not chosen for that -task was the fear that he would place in it some jest; he was inclined to be humorous. Did any one sign the Declaration that late July afternoon Thomas M.

Jefferson's original is in th 6tate department at Washington. So is the engrossed copy of Aug. 4. That is the cue containing the big signatures of John Hancock with which the world is familiar. "Ring, Gramlpa, Ring!" Whether it was signed that lmmor- tnl day or nt.

the resolution was. A great crowd of people had gathered outside. They could see Hancock's big. bijru backed chair behind the ma-1 hognny table, with its great silver ink-1 horn. Red faced John Adams and Roger Sherman, the shoemaker, stood near lie window.

Robert Morris, the financier, and Charles Carroll of Car-rollton. who outlived all the signers, were near the door. Up in the belfry hung the now famous bell brought from England in 1752, cracked the first time it was used, then recast by Isaac N'orris, speaker of the assembly, with the famous inscription around its top. Old William Hurry, whose mouldering dust now sleeps in old Pine Street Presbyterian churchyard, stood at theJ belfry door, his hand on the bell rope, ready to ring out the expected glad tidings, his little blue eyed grandson. Samuel, in the corridor below.

Outside the crowd grew more dense. The air was surcharged with excitement Men had left the plow tail, the store, Ibe workshop. Would they dare pass the resolution? Suddenly at five minutes before 2 the iad dashed out clapping his hands. "Ring, grandpa, ring!" The bell rang out the welcome news prophetically cast upon its Iron throat twenty-four years before. The crowds answered with cheers.

The Voice That Is Still. Many are the stories as to how the famous bell became cracked. The most authentic is that "Major Jack" Downing, a caretaker, allowed six boys to ring'the bell on Washington's i birthday. 1835. Whenever it happen ed.

it was not noticed until the morn ing of June 8, 1835, when it was being tolled for the death of Chief Justice John Marshall. Several times later It was rung on great occasions, but the tones, once powerful, were sorry reminders of the past. On Washington's birthday. 1843. it was tolled for the last time.

Now for seventy-one years it has been voiceless. When in 18(50 the Prince of Wales, afterward King Edwnrd VII. of England, visited the United States the bell was in a rubbish heap in the garret. He was amazed, indignant and pleaded for it It has 1 I nerer Deen negiectea since, tacn aF ARXICLlE xviii OF THE It is more venerated. Its message Is constitution.
