BY Rail to the Sun.

VI. Camille Flamarion has just
published most interesting littls
work on astronomy for children. and.
in fact. for everybody who wishes to
read the science in plain form. NJ
Flsmar!on says that II the moon
were removed to the same distance
from the earth as the sun Is. then
the mon would be invisible. IF a
railway train trave;ed to the sun at
the uniform rate OF 37k miles All
hour 1t would take 140.000.01O min.
Htes to reach the sun. or 103.472
days. or oS3 Yeas. AS a matter Of
fact. the train would never reach
the sun. for it would be molten
mass IN the planetary space and re-
diced to vapor by the SUMS heat be-
fore It reached. the sun.
The cost OF a railway ticket for
the sun at the rate of ten confines
per ki!oa1eter, or about . cents per
mile. would be s2,sso.000. while 4
ticket for the moon would cost only
s7.CSo. These prices sink into In.
Significance when compared with the
cnst of a railway ticket to the near.
est star after the sun for such 4
ticket would cost s20.000.0 100000.

RIVERS GO ON A
REGULAR RAMPAGE
Interurban Traffic Stopped
by Hlghwattr
Much Damage is Done to Farm
Lands in Low Lying Sec
ti0Ds.

The rivers throughout the county
overflowed their banks yesterday and
considerable damage resulted. At
Prospect the water raised TO the ex-
tent as to partially submerge the
floors in many homes located near
the river bank.
AT Newmans bridge the water
washed over the interurban tracks,
destroying the road ballast and tying
Iup interurban traffic. Service be-
tween Prospect and Marion was cut
off yesterday evening and was not re-
lsumed until late this afternoon. At
Green Camp, the roads in several
places near the river were made al
most impossible by the high water
The farm lands were flooded and
fences were torn away. The water
reached higher mark than it did
last month and owing to the unfrozen
condition of the soil, there was much
more damage resulted.

For dieting and exercising 1t has

small cost from any druggist, viz:
1-2 ounce Marmola, 1-2 ounce Fluid

One teaspoonful of this mixture

off four to seven pounds of fat q
