The Summer Stars.
No one who surveys this summer sky,
covered with its myriad of suns, can fail
to be impressed with it's wonderful and
delicate beauty. To study 1t with the
most satisfaction the observer should be
far away from all artificial light and he
should select an evening when the moon
is absent, for the great brilliance of our
satellite renders all the more delicate OBJ
iects, and even the Milky Way Itself,
hopeessly invisible Since full moon
occurs on the Sd Of this month, any clear
evening during the last three weeks will
be found very suitable for observation.
The best way TO learn the summer con-
stellations is to first follow along the
Milky Way, tracing out the Archer, the
Eagle. the Arrow. etc. in order. and after
ward adding the groups of the Scorpion,
the Serpent. Hercules, etc. which border
the Milky Way, until the whole face OF
the sky has been covered. In n very few
minutes the observer will find that he has
learned all OF the brighter consultations
There are a very few. little known. faint
groups which are not marked on figure 1.

al the Little Horse; those near r, form-
ing long stream between the Arrow
and the Swan, are the Fox and the Goose
while those near the Swan in the region
form the group known as the Lizard.
The faint sars near T all belong to the
great constellation Hercules. 1t is above
these in the position f, one-third of the
way from the star at II to that of X, that
the great star cluster in Hercules is
situated. This. the most magnificent
cluster OF the northern heavens. is formed
of thousands of stars apparently packed
closely together, but arranged in a re-
markable spiral form. The cluster is
distinctly visible as a little cloud to the
naked eye. The possessor of a small

to feel ILL.,, and the character of the dis
ease is thus determined quickly and the
necessary precautions taken. The pa

large hospitals of the city or quaran-
tined at home. where he is put under the
charge of his family physician. In this
manner the government printing Office
emergency room becomes a protection to
those who have never been inside its

The emergency room is also a direct
saving to the government in many ways.
By the employers liability act the gov

employees who lose more than fifteen
days from accidents incurred while in
the government service. BY prompt treat
ment of the patients many of the acci-
dents at the printing Office are prevented
from becoming serious in their results,
and the record kept of each case is also
of value to the government in deciding
future claims.
Those who have visited the emergency
room at the government printing Office
become enthusiastic advocates of a SIM

ber Of employees work together.

routes such as to make the apprehen-
sion Of train robbers certain. but the
government will spend all the money
and time necessary 10 break up this me-
farious business and apprehend the
criminals.
You will observe that the rewards
offered by the railway companies for
train robbers are for them alive or
dead. If they are killed in the effort
to capture them their days Of wicked
ness are done. and they are no longer
part OF the equation. Those who g
after them show no mercy. for they
know 1t is a case Of life and death. IL
the train robber fails to get his hands
up quickly enough. or If he shows re-
siStance at all. they are not likely to
waste argument but shoot to kill. The
robbers themselves know this. There
is another noticeable feature about the
later train robberies. and that Is that
no attempt is made to hold up and rob
the passengers any more. The train
robber Is glad enough to confine his ef-
forts to the mail and express cars and
to get away as quickly as possible.
There have been ins ances where pas
sengerS had more nerve than the rob-
bers and the latter suffered accordingly.
They take no more such risks.
Some of the worst cases of hold-up
that l recall will serve to show how alb
solutely certain are the detection and the
ultimate capture of he criminals. There
was a case ten years ago in Wyoming
where the robbers escaped to their
rendezvous in the mountains. IT was
wicked trap. called The Hole in the
WALL where one man might stand Off
regiment. Yet they were pursued and
chased out They killed the sheriff OF
Natrona coount- before they made their
escape. One of them was killed after
ward in Kansas City while resisting ar
rest. and another lest out for not getting
his hands W quickly enough. A third
was later arrested at Cripple Creek and
sent to the nenitentiary. In another rob-
berry on the Union Pacific some years ago
the robbers were hunted closely that
they took refuge in a barn. In some
way, 1t is said. the railway company ac-
uuired ownership Of the barn. II caught
fire and the robbers were killed while az
tempting to get away.
"The southwest used to be the scene
of train robberies but 1. is not so any
longer. 1t has been years since the east
has had one: but the transcontinental
roads have probably suffered most

The institution proved of such benefit
to the inmates of the building that it was
retained under the present public printer,
and there are now indications that the
hospital has not only come to stay, but
that it has demonstrated its value to such
an extent that il will find imitators in
other government departments and in
large private institutions where many per-

The hospital occupies one room, about
forty feet long and sixteen feet wide.
Each end of the room is fitted up in du-
plicate and so arranged that it can be
curtained off as separate ward. The
furniture and equipment are complete. but
compact, arranged somewhat like the hos
pital on board a large ocean liner. There
is bed al each end of the room, and also
stationary baths. basins and WashStands,
and a wardrobe for the patient The floor
is of marble mosaic. and the wainscoting

they can be kept in a throughly clean

ton the hospital is as pleasant a room as
the patients could possibly wish for in
which to recuperate from Iany slight ILL
