w. W. Husband Sent as an lmmlgra-
ton Expert.

Washington, June NV. w. Hus-
band of st. Johnsbury, VT, formerly
a well-known Vermont newspaper
man, will conclude his duties July z
as chief of the division of contract
labor in the government immigra-
ton bureau, where he has been en-
ployed since the conclusion of his
duties as secretary Of the immigra-
ton commission.
Mr. Husband has been requested
by Secretary Wilson of the newly
created department of labor to carry
on important work in Europe in con-
nection with that department and
expects to sail soon after the first of
July for six months trip abroad.
His work will take him to Turkey in
Asia, Russia, Turkey in Europe,
Greece, Italy, the Balkan States and
probably Spain.
Mr.. Husband has come to be one
of the best authorities on the sub
ject of immigration in this country
and has devoted nearly 10 years to
its study. Since leaving the Yer
mont newspaper field to come to
Washington as Senator Dillingham's
secretary, he has served for some
years as clerk of the Senate commit
tee on immigration and later, upon
the creation by Congress of spec
ial commission to carry on full in
vestigation of all phases of the i'm
migration problem and to report to
Congress, he was selected as its
secretary
He went abroad with the com
mission in the summer of 1907 and
later was entrusted with the direc-
tion not only of the large body of EN-
ployes engaged in the collection OF
information but was placed in charge
of the force engaged in the tabula-
ton of returns, in which position he
showed rare executive ability.
Since the completion of that work
Mr.. Husband has been engaged in
the administrative work of the gov
eminent bureau, which has jurisdic.

ton laws in the United States, al.

The poets exclamation: 20 Life!
I feel thee bounding in my veins" is
a joyous one. Persons that can rare
ly or never make 1t, in honesty to
themselves, are among the most UNI
fortunate. They do not live, but
exist; for to live implies more than
to be. To live is to be well and
strong-to arise feeling equal to the
ordinary duties of the day, and to
retire not overcome by them-to feel
life bounding in the veins. A medi-
cine that has made thousands OF
people, men and women, well and
strong, has accomplished great
work, bestowing the richest bless
ings, and that medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. The weak, rundown,
or debilitated, from any cause,
should not fail to take It. II builds
up the whole system, changes exis-
tence into life. and makes life more
Astounding. We are glad to say these
words in its favor to the readers Of

Famous Walnuts Fall Under AK

Woodmen entered the Makemson
tract of timber, four miles east of
Danville, October l and began cutting
the worlds largest forest of virgin
walnut timber. For the first time in
the memory of the oldest inhabitant
woodmen were allowed to enter the
400-acre tract. which was closed to the
inspection of all save the close friends
of Hiram Makemson during his life.

The forest land came into the pos

best possible position for observation. If
the observer will face to the east on any
clear December evening his attention will
at once be attracted by this brilliant OBJ
jeot. which now shines out in the con-
stellation Gemini with five times tho
brightness of a first magnitude star. At
the beginning of the month the planet is
&c. 100000 miles away, but by January L
this distance is diminished to 5s,000,000
miles. On the latter date it attains its
nearest distance to the earth, and i'm
afterward begins to recede from
us. Consequently the months of Decem-
her and January will afford the most
favorable opportunities for viewing this
most interesting world.
Nevertheless, the present Opposition,
as it is called, is not so favorable a
one as many of the near approaches of
the planet are. In Figure there are
shown the paths of all the four inner
planets about the sun. Tt will be noticed
that although Mars, the earth and the
sun are now very nearly in a straight
line with each other, yet that the dis
tance apart of the two former bodies is
very much greater than 1t would be If

Whoever will go away from the bright
lights of the city until he comes to a
place from which he can view the unob-
structed sky will now see most brill
liant spectacle in the early evening heav-
ems. High up from the ground in the
east there shine out the very bright
groups of the Charioteer, tho Twins and
the Bull. while below these there is seen
the brilliant Orion and the very bright
Dog Stars, Sirius and Procyon the for
mer of which is the brightest star of the
entire sky. Not only1s the whole eastern
heavens covered with this brilliant as
semblage of stars, but it happens that
the two bright planets. Mars and Saturn,
are now also in this part of the sky. AS
the former planet is five times as bright
as a first magnitude star and the latter
no less than three times as bright, this
entire region of hte heavens is now In
deed most brilliant one.

they occupied, for example, the positions
NJ and N. When the earth happens to
pass Mars in this latter region, where the
two paths lie so near together, the worlds
may be separated by distance of but
35, 100000 miles, while If the passage oc-
ours as 1t does at present their nearest
approach is no less than 5S000,000 miles.
At the most favorable approaches (Which
can only occur during the latter part of
August the planet appears to us nearly
four times as bright as at the unfavor-
able ones.
Yet at every near approach this
most interesting world is watched and
studied with the greatest interest. 1t
is true that on the planet Venus the
conditions approach more nearly to
those On our earth than do those on
Mars, but Venus can never be studied
to the same adantage as the far more
distant and smaller planet. The reason
why this is so will be easily under
stood from an examination of Figure 2.
For all of these inner worlds are cold,
dark bodies which only shine, and
hence are only isible to us, when they

course, only the half of any body that
faces the sun which is in sunlight; on
the other half there is darkness, or
night. When Mars Is nearest our earth
it is the sunlit, or day. side which is
turned toward us. and at this time
we can study the details of its sur
face to great adantage; but when We
nus, our sister world, is nearest us IT
is the night side which Is turned to-
ward us, and the day side is then
turned exactly away from u.s. so that
We can see nothing upon the planet
at all. 1t is only when Venus Is be-
yond the sun. entirely on the other
side of its orbit from US. that its fully
illuminated hemisphere is turned to-
ward the earth; and at this time its
great distance from us and its close
ness to the SUMS rays make its satis-
factory observation impossible.
1t is therefore clear, from this rea-
son alone, why so much more can be
seen on the little world Mars than
on the larger and less distant Venus.

Our outer neighbor is but 1900 miles

much smaller world than our own, It's

Finds Cause of Potato Disease

Madison, WlS.-An economic diScoV-
cry that will be of greatest value tn
farmers and to commission merchants
throughout the world has just been
made by Prof. f. r. Bartholomew OF
the University of Wisconsin, who has
discovered the cause of black heart in
potatoes, says the Philadelphia North
American
This disease causes black spots i'm
the center of potatoes, which later be-
come hollow. Hundreds of carloads OF
potatoes have been affected by the dis
ease each year in shipment and In
storage.
Professor Bartholomew found that
the disease is caused by overheating
the crop in cars and in cellars. If the
crop is kept at a temperature of 100
to 104 Fahrenheit for 1S to "a hours
the disease sets in.
