Appalling Depths OF Space.


In his lecture to Juveniles at the Royal
institution in London, Sir Robert Ball said
that telegraphic message would go seven
times around the earth in a second, and II
a Geographic message could be sent to tAe
moon it would reach its destination In q lit
tie more than asecond. 1t would take some
thing like eight minutes to arrive at the
sun, but how long did they think it would
take to get to Alpha Centauri, travelling
thither at $50, 600 miles second? Seconds,
minutes, hours, days, weeks months. would
not be long enough. 1t would not take less
than three J: ITS. travelling all the time at
that tremendous pace, before it would reach
its destination.
If that was the case with respect to the
nearest of the stars, what must be said Of
those which were farther Off There were
stars so remote that if the news of the VIC
tory of Wellington at Waterloo had been
flashed to them in 1918 ON that celestial tel
egraph system it would not have reached
them yet, even If the message had sped at
the pace which he had indicated and had
been travelling all the time.
Nay, more, if the glad tidings of that first
Christmas in Bethlehem 10 centuries age
had been disseminated through the uni
verse, there We're yet stars of which astron-
omers could tell them plunged into space
in depths so appalling that even the years
that have elapsed since that event would
not have been long enough for the news to
reach them, though it travelled at a speed
Of 10000 miles in every second.-Chicago

ueafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases. out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

MIDNIGHT AT SEA.

Through the deep stiffness of the awful night
heard the clamor of the ships great bell.
A voice cried, Twelve O'Clock, and all h
well!'
Then silence and the solemn watching light
OF the white moon on pillows wild and whits
That yielded to her magical dear spell
The stormy hearts no lesser love could queu-
Slaves Of her lamp, and powerless to alright
All, when across the wide, unfathomed sea
Which no chart maps, whose depth no plummet
iS1ows.
To a dim, unconjectured shore We steer,
Through that wild night into whose depths we
fee
Farther than any wind from this world blows,

Will Serve no Good Ends

The enactment of such a statuatory
provision "a is provided for in house
bill 6S1 now on its second reading at
Springfield would serve no good ends.
The bill is humbug and sandbag
to be taken advantage of only by leg
islative sharks who alone would reap
a profit from its adoption. The bill
was introduced by the committee on
sanitary affairs March "a, read that
day and ordered printed and to sec
ond reading. 1t contemplates the
regulation of the manufacture and
sale of patent and proprietary COM
pounds and provides:
Section l. That it shall not be law
full for any person or person, by
themselves or agents, after January
/, 1894, to sell or offer for sale, in the
state of Illinois, any proprietary
compound, either liquid or solid, in
packages, boxes or bottles, to be used
as medicine without such package,
box, bottle or container having at
| tached on the outside label or wrap
per upon which shall be printed in
| plain Roman type the ingredients
| contained in such box, package or
| bottle by their correct English names.
| with the quantities of each expressed
| in L. 5. or Metric system of weights
and measures.
Section ?. AS proprietary medi-
cines within the meaning of this act
shall be designated, all mixtures of
medicinal substances for internal or
external use commonly termed pat
ent medicines" whose composition is
kept secret: Provided. that nothing
in this act shall apply to the sale of.
or dispensing by legally qualified
persons, any preparation or mixture,
solid or liquid, of medicinal sub
| stances, whose formula Isl recognized
| in the pharmacop9ias of the United
States, Great Britain, Germany,
| France and Sweden. nor the United
States. National and American dis
| pensaries, the National Formulary
| and the Homeopathic harmacop9ia.
Second contains penalty clause
of from 800 to $500.
The Chicago Post advances this
strong argument why the bill should
be defeated:
If any one takes seriously the
measure known as house bill No. 6S1.
which Is up Tor second reading at
Springfield, it is only to deplore an
obvious attempt at blackmail. This
| bill seeks to make unlawful the sale
of proprietary compounds in any
form as medicine except the same
bear a label containing its full form
ula. Such law, if enforced, would
mean the discontinuance of the man
ufacture and sale of all or nearly all
patent medicines.
Nobody demands any such regula-
ton, least of all the authors of this
bill. There are ridiculous, even
fraudulent, patent medicines, doubt
less. and some whose manufacture
ought to be suppressed. But such is
not the object of house bill No. 6S1.
The obvious motive of that measure
is to levy blackmail upon the persons
and corporations engaged in the
manufacture OF patent medicines.
some of whom are very wealthy and
would ordinarily be accounted a
..soft mark" for the Legislative sand
Dagger.
For this reason, if for no other. the
house ought to lose no time in sit
ting down on No. 6S1.
