NOT At PADUCAH|
BURLINGTON BRIDGE WILL BE
BUILT AT OR NEAR METRoP-
oLls-TAxES TOO HIGH.
Barge Being Equipped to Make
Soundings-L. & N. Surveyors
Are at Work in
Paducah.
(Padncah News-Democrat.)

"You can say positively that there
will be no bridge built at Paducah for
the reason Of taxes alone"
The foregoing statement was made
Monday afternoon by Paducah bust
ness man who is prominently identi-
fed with the Commercial Club and is
answer in response to a query as 10
whether or not the Burlington rail-
road would build its bride at Paducah
or Metropolis and was asked for def
mite information. The News-Democrat
reporter Intercepted him because the
informant was in a position to give a
definite answer.
The Burlington bridge will either
be built two miles below Metropolis
Or one mile above that city. 1t will
be partially in McCracken county but
any point on the Kentucky shore to
where the city limits are likely to be
extended in future years unless the
city grows beyond the fondest hope
of any citizen.
Taxes alone keeps the Burlington
from building the bridge at Paducah.
1t would be a good point, but the
yearly taxes to the city would be
enormous. The state and county will
share in the taxes, but the city will
be avoided in the construction of the
bride. The yearly taxes on such a
costly bridge as contemplated by the
Burlington would run into the thous-
ands of dollars. Taxes are quite an
item with railroad.
That the Burlington IS coming to
Paducah the News-Democrat's in
formant said there was no doubt. He
also said the road would have termi-
mails here and it is automatically stat
ed that the terminals will have large
proportions. AS its connection at this
point most likely will be with the
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis
rilroad both roads will be interested
in the terminals, which will consist
of freight and passenger depots
yar,ls and possibly shops.
For several days Louisville & Nash
vile surveyors have been busy run
ming line in Paducah. This road
controls the Nashville, Chattanooga
4 st. Louis road. 1t is apparent that
the latter is doing the work on this
side of the river and the Burlington
on the other.
A barge is now being equipped al
Metropolis with machinery for boring
into the rock strata in the bottom o.
the Ohio river at the two locations
for the bridge. AS soon as the WORK
is completed application will be made
at Washington for the permit tt
build the bridge and actual work on
it Is expected to begin within the
next two or three months.

Book Trust Has Ignored It, Refusing
to File List of Books as
Required-Old Prices
Prevail.

There will be no change in the
prices of school books in Cairo and
elsewhere In the state as provided
by the new text book law The
schoolbook trust Is ignoring the new
law and school boards seems to be
in doubt what TO do.
Explaining tn situation in Cairo
Prof, Clendenen said last evening that
the boards OF directors could do moth
ing under the new lcw so long as the
publishers did not lille lists OF books
with the state superintendent The
Cairo Board mas decided to make no
changes this year A dispatch from
Springfield says:
The new Illinois text book Law has
upset the school authorities from
Cairo to Dunleath and from Danylle
to Quincy, and the office of Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Blair
overdows with inquiries and appeals
for help.
Mr., Blair's replies do not give
them much comfort but he can give
them no other answer, and big or
little. great or small, receive the
same admonition and advice.
The cities are not fretting much.
They are going ahead without much
concern, and the retailers are taking
chances on getting into legal trouble,
but in the rural communities the
school authorities are having visions
of closed school houses or as an al
tentative, of themselves behind the
bars paying large fines.
As a matter of fact the law pro
vides no penalties against school
trustees or directors or boards of
education All the penalties are di-
rected against the publisher and it is
difficult to see how the law can get
at him as long as he refuses to list
his books in the state, something ali
of them have refused TO do.
There will be no scarcity of books
in the cities where the retailers are
preparing to sell as though nothing
had happened in the legislature.
In the country districts the dealers
are more careful and some of them
are dubious about selling books which
have not been licensed by the state.
The law provides that publishers
of school books shall file with the
state superintendent of instruction
list of books he has to sell The SUI
perintendent then certifies this list
to the various boards of education

APPEARANCES At
THE NORTH POLE
CARBONDALE NORMAL SCHOOL
PROFESSOR GIVES INTEREST.
ING STORY CONCERNING SUN,
STARS, ETC.
Carbonate Free Press).

Since the papers of yesterday
reached our city there have been
scores of inquiries about how one
would know that he had reached
the north pole. The explanation
is very simple, The axis of the earth
points approximately to the north
star. If one were on the equator of
the earth the north star would appear
on his horizon, northward If this
person should walk north along a Civ.
en- meridian ten degrees, the north
star would rise ten degrees above the
horizon If he continues to travel north
along the same meridian the north star
rises higher and higher in the sky
When he has reached the latitude of
Carbonate the star will have risen
as high in the sky as the latitude of
| Carbondale. The further north our
| traveller goes the higher the star
| rises.
The greatest altitude star can have
| is 80 degrees When the traveller
star has risen 80 degrees in the sky,
the star will then be found to be
| equally distant (measured in degrees)
| from every point of the horizon. The
Traveller has now reached the north
pole. He stands on the end of the
axis of the earth and the north star
| Is directly overhead The measure
ment of the distance Tin degrees)
from the north star to the various
points on the horizon is a simple pro,
cess, and is accomplished with simple
instruments which every explorer Of
any note would carry.
There is another very interesting
method of determining when one is at
the north pole of the earth. If one
actually stood on the north pole of the
earth in April he would not see the
sun, but as March comes on the sun
would begin to make himself kown
Through bright rim of light around
the horizon. On the Dist of March the
suns face would be seen on the hori-
zon, and for one day GA hours, the
sun would make apparently a
journey around the horizon, The next
day the sun would appear a little
higher and eventually would make
his journey clear of the horizon.
If now the traveller rs actually on
the north pole the sun for any day
| (of "a hours) will be found at the
same altitude above the horizon. The
sun viii climb higher and higher, al
ways remaining in sight, and NOV.
ling parallel approximately with the
horizon.
I II then man does not know where
he is, but finds by scientific observa,
tons that the sun does day after day
move parallel to the horizon, then he
knows he is at the north pole of the
earth. On the 21st day of June the
sun will make his circuit of the
heavens at an altitude of 23la degrees
above the horizon line This is as
| high as he will rise in the sky and
from that day till the Goth of Sep.
TENDER he ascends day by day at the
rate approximately of Is SO seconds
of circular measure, and on the Goth
day of September will sink below the
horizon line. 1t should be kept in
mind that the proof in this second
ILLUSTRATION is found in the parallel
motion of the sun to the horizon
| This parallel motion of sun with hori-
zon can be observed no where except
at the poles.
