Walter Scott received from the COM
missioner of patents letters patent for
a solar attachment to transit instru.
ments. This attachment enables the
operator to determine latitude, longi-
tude, the hour of the day, and the mer-
idian by the indicated declination of
the sun and cooperating means. This
invention Of Mr.. Scott's is a valuable
addition to any transit instrument and
has this advantage that it can be at.
tached to any approved form of engi-
neer's transit. In this particular it
has the advantage ver other styles of
solar attachments. The STAR believes
that MIR. Scott has a fortune in his in
vention, at any rate it hopes SO.

Still There's More to Follow.

I will give you this week q few more
testimonials from persons that came
to the Catholicon Springs or "water Of
life" and after bathing a few times,
were able to pick up their beds and
walk. See what they have to say.
The first is from Martin Lewis, Of
Rapid City.
Hot Springs, $. D., Aug Is, 1889.
| came to the Catholicon Springs
three weeks ago on crutches and hard
ly able to walk even with them. 1
was in great pain, suffering from rheu-
matism and had been for twenty years.
On the tenth day after I came here 1
threw away my crutches. am going
to start home today, 1 believe, as sound
as a dollar. l have only taken about
twenty-threc baths all together. l
must say that Of the forty or fifty peo-
pie bathing here since I have been here
afflicted by nearly all kinds Of diseases
| believe that every one Of them has
either been cured or is on the road
to health as fast as they could possibly
be carried. know Of one young min
lister from Tennessee that came here
with catarrh. The palate of his mouth
was eaten out so badly that he could
not talk SC he could be understood. In
seventeen days he left a we'll man. He
had been to the Hot Springs of Arkan-
sas and other springs, but he SAID that
he had never found any medicine or
weather that did him anyy good until
he came here and began to drink and
battle in the wonderful water. He
seemed to be n of the happiest men
ever saw. never knew that catarrh
could be cured until | came here. l
do think that it will pay anyone who
is not enjoying good health to come
here and battle. 1t does seem to me
that If n would come here and battle
one month in twelve, he would always
be in good health and live forever.
MARTIN LEWIS, Rapid City, S. ID.

The Colossus Of Rhodes.

The Colossus of Rhodes was so called
10 distinguish it from other colossal
figures, said 10y some writers 20 have
numbered over 100, which, during the
days of its prosperity, were set up in the
"City Of the sun. rs the capital Of the
Island Of Rhodes was poctically called.
The Colossus came third in the list of the
seven wonders of the world. and was
consoCratcd TO the sun, the deity of
Rhodes. II was made OF brass. cast in
sections and is said to have been the
work Of CharcS of Lindas, pupil Of
the great Lysippus 1t was twenty
cubits supposed to have been $50 fccp
high, aud cost the city about 800 talents,
or 1880, 900 rs we reckon money nova.
days Over twelve years work was spent
on this carly monster, which with all its
grandeur, was destined to very short
career. Fifty years after its completion,
in the year 22i B. c., according to
Pliuy, this gigantic emblcmatic figure
was thrown down by an earthquake. The
Colossus stood at the entrance 10 the
harhor, with each of its mighty feet on
solid stone foundations, ships in full
sail passing aud rcpassing between the
gigantic legs. Dalcpcrrc, the historian,
says that it was not erected at the en-
trance to the harbor, rs stated by Pliny,
but that it stood on an open space near
the Parha's scriglio. Still another
writer says il WAS reconstructed during
the reign of the Emperor Vespasian, and
that after the Island of Rhodes had been
conquered by Caliph Othman, in the
seventh century of our era, it was taken
down and the metal sold TO Jew, who
transported it to Syria, a caravan of $50
carpclS being necessary to carry his
purchase. So. Lowis Hpubiic.
