The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-01-26

A glowing inauguration is of value
to the poet and novelist it is of little
use, however, in business. Fact in
trade must take the place of fancy if
success is to be obtained. Business
must have solid foundation, other
wise no progress can be obtained.
Arithmetic is an important factor.
The agent or merchant who neglects
figures neglects most essential point
Mere conjecture and surmise are poor
elements in business, when everything
should proceed on the principle Of
cause and effect. Theory must be re
duced to practice, and practice the
undertaking method established, as
the result Of cool calculation. Ro-
nance and the multiplication table
never agree, as fancy profits are al
ways larger than actual gains. Too
often are men lured into outside specu-
lation through the idea of large profits.
In imagination they are rich already.
They discount the future at the very
beginning, and plan for ease and com
fort on the visions of speedy fortune

1t is quite familiar illustration to
represent the distance of the stars in
terms Of the light-year, but it has not
been noticed that the same figures
which express in years the time light
occupies in reaching the earth from a
star will also express in miles the dis
tance Of the star upon scale of the
radius vector OF the terrestrial orbit to
the inch. The illustiat appears
useful, as it gives, perhaps, more dis
tinCt idea OF the isolation Of the solar
system in space than can be otherwise
obtained, and does not introduce the
question Of time into the measure
ment of distance. Thus, if the annual
parallax of 6I Cygni is assumed to be
7.434, which is probably very nearly
correct, it will take u (7,464 years
for its light to reach the earth, and u
H.49o) miles will represent the dis
tance of this star on scale that gives
one inch to the distance of the sun
from the earth.

MT. Sweet Says to Turn Arid Lands
 Over to States Is Impracticable.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 6 6-Aprepos of the meeting of the Denver Irrigation congress, Representative Sweet of Idaho, a member of the house irrigation com- mittee, says: "The proposed plan of turning arid land over to the states is impracticable and the beginning of the system of landlordism. The govern ment can reclaim land with money bor- Yowed at 8 per cent The expense to the states would be double that, and as reclamation must be included in the price at which the land will be sold to settlers, the duty of the nation is obvi- ous. It is said congress will not appro- priate the money. l am satisfied con- gress will. am satisfied there will be more opposition to the transfer of the land than to the irrigation appropria- tions, because robbery would inevita- bly, follow.
