Interlaken, in the Swiss Alps, Is a
central point for tourists for making
excursions either into the neighboring
valleys or on to the mountains. The
town, which is simply a cluster Of
hotels with a casino. is built on
plain between two lakes, deriving its
name from its location. each lake
about ten or a dozen miles long and
about a mile wide. To the south Of
these lakes rise the peaks of the Ber-
nese Alps-the Eiger, Jungfrau, Monch
and others. From Interlaken a cog
railway carries tourists up steep in
clines to GrindelwaId, Scheidig, and
thence down to Lauterbrunnen. From
Lauterbrunnen one may be swung up
by cable several thousand feet to Muir
rem. where a near view can be obtain
ed of the surrounding group of noun
tains.
One summer some tourists started
on the cog railway for Scheidig, from
whence the men of the party intended
to attempt to climb the Jungfrau. The
cog railway now extends farther up
the mountain, but at that time one
could travel by rail no farther than
Scheidig In this party were Miss
Della Denton Of New York and Mr..
Archie Pendleton of Chicago. Miss
Denton was an heiress. while Mr..

MIGHTY ARCTURUS.

~ This Star Were Our Sun IL Would
instantly Consume the Earth.
The paraIIsx of star is its angular
displacement as seen from two OPP
posite points on the earth's orbit. The
base line employed in this gigantic spe-
cies of surveying IS 1sS,0O0,0O0 miles
IN length, but the calculation IS re-
duced TO the semidiameter Of the orbit
The results are at the same time amaz-
ing and instructive.
Let US take the famous star Arc
turus, often called the star Of job
because In the Old Testament the
Almighty is represented as saying TO
the unfortunate patriarch. who main
tains a certain dignity in spite of his
heiplessness and his sufferings, "Canst

easy to calculate the distance Of the
star. 1t comes out at nearly 100000.
OOOOO0,OOO miles two hundred and
ninety trillion niles. This Is more
than 100000 times the distance OF
the earth from the sun.
Having this distance, we can calcu-
late the actual amount of light shed by
Arcturus. or, in other words. its ac-
tual brightness IS compared with that
of our sun. on the superstition that
both were at the same distance from
US We thus find that Arcturus ex-
ceeds the sun as a light giver about
900 times, 1t is a sun 1900 times
brighter than ours.
Put the earth is near TO ArcturuS
as il is 10 the sun and AL life would
disappear from its surface as If swept
off by a blast of inconceivable heat.
The summer temperature would rise
TO tens of thousands of degrees. The
oceans would boil away. Vegetation
would be burned up in a twinkling.
The eyes of living beings would char
in their sockets. The plains and
mountains would burst into flame.
Minerals would run in molten streams.
There would be no comfort for liv-
ing world nearer to Arcturus than
about 4,OOO,OO0OO0 miles. II he has
planets he must keep them at a re-
spectful distance. And yet nearly
100000, OOO. 10000 miles from him we
can look into his blazing eye and see
only a bright star.

maintains that this little earth, this

Illinois Corn and PeIIagra.

Illinois corn has been tried and ac-
Quilted of the charge of causing pei
lagra, that deadly disease which has
swept over many countries and has
become .alarmingly prevalent in the
United States.
Learned medical men have assert
ed with great posiIiveness that a
corn diet is responsible for the di-
sease.
In Italy. where careful investiga-
ton was made and experiments tried,
it was found, according to the off,
cfal reports OF the agricultural de-
partment that the progress of the di-
sease was checked, not by abolishing
the use of corn entirely, but by in
shutting strict government supervi-
sion of the sale and use for human
food of corn and its products In
other words, II was only bad corn
which caused the disease.
The Illinois pelIagra commission
fn its report finds that the corn
raised in Illinois and which is used
both for home consumption and for
export is not affected with the germ
that causes the disease. In reach
ing this conclusion the commission
was guided by the results of care
fully conducted dietary experiments
upon selected squads of patients in
the Peoria state hospital for the in
sane, as well as experiments upon
animals.
There is another theory that the
disease is caused by the buffalo gnat
or the black hy and this is also being
investigated by experts. 1t has only
been short time since. through the
competent labors OF medical experts,

Commission Form Warning That
Applies Here, Too.

Springfield Register: Some of the
candidates for members of the
Springfield commission to be nomi-
mated April % under the provisions
of the commission form of govern
ment statute are said to be planning
an old style campaign.
The State Register desires. as a
timely warning, to have the candi-
dates read and reread so as to thor
oughly acquaint themselves with it
the following paragraph from the
commission form statute which gov
erns this present campaign:
Amy person who shall agree to
perform any service in the interest
of any candidate for any nomination
or election for any Office provided
in this act, in consideration of any
money or other valuable thing, or
for any treats, or for any appoint
ment TO any Office or employment
for such service performed in the in
terest of any such candidate, or any
candidate who shall make a promise
Of money or other valuable thing
or to appoint any person to Office in
the event of the nomination or cleo
ton of such candidates, in considera-
ton of such person performing any
service in the interest of said candi
date, upon conviction thereof shall
be punished by a fine not exceeding
three hundred dollars $4,000 or be
Imprisoned in the county Jail not ex-
ceeding thirty 600 days, or both,
in the discretion of the court"
After having read the above and
digested it thoroughly, give equal
attention to the following paragraph
in this same law:
ANY person Offering to give
bribe, either in money or other con-
sideration, or in the form of treat
ing. or by agreement to appoint to
any office or employment under such
city or village to any elector for the
purpose of influencing his vote at
any such election provided for in this
act. or any elector entitled to vote at
any such election requesting. re-
ceiving or accepting such bride, mon
ey, OF other consideration or treat,
or agreeing to vote for or support
any candidate in consideration that
he be appointed to an Office or en-
ployment under such city, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
and upon conviction shall be fined a
sum not less than one hundred dol
lars (S1OO) nor more than five hun
bred dollars ($5OO) or be imprison-
ed in the county Jail not less than
ten nor more t han ninety days, or
both. in the discretion of the court"
While there is little likelihood of
such a sensational grand jury probe
in Springfield of vote-buying and
vote-selling as Danville is facing.
Springfield should show determine
ton in enforcing TO the letter the
above provisions of the commission
form law. No quarter should be
spared the candidate who attempts
tc influence votes by the old methods.
Most vigorous prosecution should
follow any and all Indulgence in the
old schemes for influencing votes of
"moochers" and others whose citi-
zenship is placed on bargain coun-
ter with a glass of booze or cam
paign cigar.
If there are attempts made to in
fuence voters in the old way, they
should be exposed and Springfield
