* Life, he said, was intolerable for the rector and many other people in Combe Marain as a result of the younger defendant's conduct. She wrote letters to the rector, and there was hardly any subject she had not touched upon. She pro- fessed to be in communication with his late wife. She said she was his good spirit and must marry

him.

The rector in evidence said he had suffered annoyanes from the younger defendant for two or three years, during which time she had been attending his church. She fdgeted and eäused general annoy. auce to those near her,

He wrote to the bishop to inquire if it were possible to refuse her admission to the church, as she was hot a parishioner. The bishop re- plied that he could not do that, but a.sent could be allotted to her and the churchwardens could see that. she always sat in it. This was done;

narry him now and that if he wished he could marry any of the widows who attended the church.

She bolted the church door and refused to leave, and a policeman was sent for. The disturbance was worse on the arrival of her mother. Miss Seymour, the rector's sister, who was in church at the time, said Miss Beaumont-Checkland told her she knew she (Miss Seymour) did not want her brother to marry her, bat that she was going to because she loved him. She also said it was absurd to think he could go on as he was, as a man could not kye

When a policeman was sent for she cried, "Cowardy, cowardy custard. Go for a policeman ! "

Bench's Conditions. The Bench bound her over for twelve months in the sum of £100 and two aureties of a like amount, and also ordered that she should not enter Combe Martin. again or ccamudicate with or annoy the rector in any way.

A Million Years Hence. Some of the remarkable state- ments Dr. Jeans made were :,

"A million million years hence, so far as we can foresee, the sun will still be much us now, and the earth will be revolving round it inuch as now. The year will be a little longer and the climate quito a lot colder, while the rich accumulated stares of coal, oil, and forest will have long been burnt up; but there is no reason why our descendants should not still people the earth.

Light and wireless signals, which are essentially the same thing and travel at the samo`rate, take a seventh of a second to travel round the world, but prob ably something like 100.000 mil lion years to travel round the universe.

The sun, which is B million times as big as the earth and 300.000 times as massive, proves to be something less than a grain of sand on the seashore. It forms one of a family whose number has been estimated at ~30,000 millions.

The stars are perhape from 5 to 10 millions of millions of years old..

Sun's Vanishing Energy.

The sun radiates enough energy from each square inch of its sur face to keep 30 horse-power engine continually in action.

The sun has no source, óf re- plenishment. It must have weigh- 560,000 million tons more yester day than to-day, and by to-mor row will weigh 360,000 million tons lees.

Enough bottles cf energy-- electrons and protons-remain unbroken in the fun, however, to provide light and heat for mil- Hons of millions of years to

come.

GIRL WHO PREFERS ENGLAND.

TO STAY INDOORS TO AVOID

KIDNAPPING RISK,

A mistress and her 20-years-old servant appealed for advice to Mr. Hay Hsikett, the Marylebone magistrate, one day last month.

It was stated that the father of the girl had decided to leave: Wales

and emigrate to Canada with his family. He had applied to the emigration authorities and had in- cluded the name of his daughter, but the gir, who was comfortable in service at Hampstead, did 'not 'wish to go. The father, however,

insisted and threatened to apply to: a magistrate to compel her to go.

Mr. Halkett said his impression was that as the girl was over 18 the father could not interfere with her. He might, however, try to
