A moderate increase in pig iron buying

within the line could reach them. But no communication of any kind should pass between the valley and the world outside: no person must leave, and if one should slip in he must re- main until the end. And the terror Of the country was so great that these laws would be rigidly enforced.
 The valley had always been isolated and summed. an ulcer, upon the coun- try. and the plague had been raging a week before the lethargic inhabitants awoke to its nature and a rumor of 1t got outside. Dr. Cameron was away visiting some of his more distant mountain patients and 1t was sev- eral days before he returned When he did. he went promptly to investi- gate the condition of the valley, and was shocked at the real state of af- fairs. There was urgent need for nurses and physicians: but nurses could not be gotten from the neigh borhood. and there was no money to hire trained ones; and he was the only physician available. for Dr. Fay Tor was too old. So he sent back his horse with the note and set to work He was young and strong. with trained courage and muscles. and with almost inexhaustible vitality. He must be physician and nurse himself, for no others would come
 There were ten cases when he en- tered the valley, and SO people whose wild. unreasoning terror was reduc- ing them to the condition of easy fu- ture victims. He quickly organized the more capable of them into nurses and assistants, and set the others to helping such sanitary precautions as were still possible. They were all very pliable now in their terror, and clung about him with incoherent beseech- ings for medicine to save them from the dreaded disease. When they were made to understand that 1t was sani- tary conditions and personal cleanIi- ness more than drugs, and that they must try to control their terror and try to face the situation calmly, they sought to meet his instructions and wishes. so far as such natures as theirs were capable. In a week the ten pa
 tients were twenty. and in another week nearly twenty more, and then some of them began to die and some to convalesce. To his other duties pr. Cameron had to add that of under taker and help prepare the dead for burial. and to assist in digging the graves. Not even in this work could the shiftless inhabitants be trusted by themselves

of the great nebula which Is believed to be planet whose birth is even now beginning. This study of the begin ming of worlds, during the formation Of which countless ages of time pass away. is one of the grandest concep- tions of astronomy. But such knowl- edge can be derived with far greater certainty from a comparatively new branch of astronomy known as double star Astronomy.
 The Double Stars.
 Many of the stars of the sky when viewed with a telescope are seen to be, not single stars, but two stars very close together. They are really two immense suns which are revolving about one another under the action Of the force of gravity. Many thousand such systems have already been discov- cred. A study of the way in which these bodies move has led to many most interesting discoveries. It has been shown. for example, that the great law of gravity Is not peculiar to the solar system, but that it operates throughout the whole universe; that every particle of matter. even in the most remote star, attracts every other particle in exact accordance with this law.
 There are many thousand clouds of nebulous matter in space. all of them which are visible to us being many millions of miles in diameter. Each or these nebulas is certainly slowly con densing or shrinking together under its own gravitation, and as 1t condenses 1t grows hotter and hotter and also begins to rotate about an axis. It may con- dense into single sun or. if the veloc- ity of its rotation Is great enough, 1t may break into double nebula. In the latter case each part will separate ly form a star and the nebula will have become a double star system.
 the solar system, In process of forma- tion There Is a central condensed nu- cleus surrounded by a series of rings very like Saturn's ring system. and it Is believed that all of the interior part will condense into one great sun while the other portions will condense into smaller suns and finally cool down in- to worlds Just as the planets of the so- lar system have done. There is, indeed. a round condensed mass in the border

We, therefore, make the following statements in all honesty and good faith, and are prepared to make good" on each and every one of them:
 1. The Inside Inn is able, at all times. to comfortably accommodate all who come, at whatever rates they wish to pay.
 2. The enormous size and wonder full equipment of the Inside Inn---with its 2,257 bed robms. and its immense dining halls seating over 2,500 people at a single meal-absolutely precludes overcrowding or discomfort; 3. The fact that the Inside Inn ts situated upon a beautiful eminence and surrounded by a natural forest makes it the coolest and most delight full spot in all St. Louis; {. The convenience, comfort and economy of staying right inside the grounds has been appreciated by all and the management spares no pains to make the sojourn of each and every guest thoroughly enjoyable in every way. and one of the pleasant memories of the great Worlds Fair; | D.
