still conspicuous Mars will be seen
emerging from the ground In the
southeast The former planet rises
nearly two hours earlier at the close
of the month than at the beginning,
but the latter Is running so very
rapidly eastward that during this
time 1t crosses almost the entire con
stellation of Capricornus and enters
Pisces, so that its time of rising
changes but very little.
Mercury is farthest west of the sun
on April "a. and may then be detected
rising almost exactly at the east
point of the horizon a little more
than one hour before the sun. At
this time it shines as brightly as a
first magnitude star.
On April 6. at little after noon
Eastern time) the moon passed be-
Jween the earth and the sun, cover
ing almost half of the suns disc, but
unfortunately no part of the eclipse
was visible TO observers within the
borders of the United States.
One of the most interesting investi-
cations into the nature of the uni
verse about us, and at the same time
one OF the most difficult, is that which
has to do with the real nature of
the many thousands of nebulas in the
sky. The light from the greenish
nebulas shows us clearly that these
are true masses of glowing gas, but
with the thousands of white nebulas
the case is far otherwise. When the
spectrum of one of these objects Is
examined, it is seen to be perfectly
continuous. without either bright or
dark lines crossing IT, a fact which,
so far as our knowledge goes, indi-
Gates either that these great clouds
are solid or liquid masses or else that
they are composed of gases under a
great pressure. Either assumption
seems equally impossible and hence
some astronomers are returning to
the old belief that these nebulas are
true universes of stars at inconceiv-
ably great distances from our own
1t may be remembered that an ex-
ceedinly faint and remarkable nebu-
lous cloud extended throughout the
little group of stars known as the
PleiadeS, and very recent and most
difficult observations upon the spec
trum of this cloud indicate that its
spectrum is also continuous one
and identical with that of the stars
of the Pleiades themselves. From
this ii is inferred that the nebular
is made up of dark and Opaque parti-
cles and that We see it family shin
ing merely because it is illuminated
by the stars with which it is asso-
ciated And it is suggested that
great part of the material in the
white nebulas may also only shine
by the light poured out from the
bright central condensation.
What view of the structure of the
white nebulas is the true one we do
not yet know 1t is hoped that with
the remarkably sensitive instruments
that have in recent years become
available for their study, we may
soon be led to fuller knowledge
of these remarkable and interesting
objects.

There We're i60 Lives Lost in OhiO's
Flood

Ohio's loss in the recent flood was
estimated Friday in telegram from
the American Red Cross agent in
charge at Columbus, as follows:
460 lives lost.
4,2O0 homes destroyed.
40500 persons homeless.
5000 families outside of Dayton,
Columbus and Cincinnati in need of
rehabilitation.
1t has been extremely difficult to
get information, according to the
agent, because wires are still down
and transportation facilities uncer-
tain.
Emergency relief situation in each
flooded district in Ohio being well
covered"
The telegram said: Dayton, Co.
lumbus, Piqua, Troy, Ottawa, Sid
ney, Hamilton, Aliamisburg, Middle
ton and GAINESVILLE covered by Red
Cross representatives. In these
places information is being rapidly
accumulated on which to base re-
Mobilization. Are rushing men into
other flooded towns as fast as water
subsidies and we can get men. Col
Miller, chief quartermaster, reports
need of underwear of all sorts, bed
ding and blankets"

fermentation almost instantly, turn
the poisonous gases into liquid, and
eliminates it through the natural
channels.
If you have stomach trouble such
as gas, sourness, heaviness, flatulency
or shortness of breath, MI-O-NA will
give gratifying relief in five minutes.
They are sold on mony back plan
for acute or chronic indigestion, ner-
vousness, headaches, etc. At G. r.
Fogg's and druggists America over,

Of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained in the dis
trict. Homesickness took him back
to his homo at Fitchburg, Mass, and
he has remained there for II years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
a shack to a growing, thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one of the first to help
plant the colony of twenty or twenty

Department of the Interior, he says:

wonderfully since"

will, but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.

In the majority Of cases the basis OF

be traced to the action of the bowels.

sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many

Here are a few suggestions on how
to choose fish; Turbot should have
the under side of a yellowish white,
for when it is very transparent blue
or thin it is not good; the whole fish
should be thick and firm Salmon
should have a fine red flesh and gills;
the scales should be bright and the
whole fish firm. Many persons think
that salmon is improved by keeping
a day or two.
