Corn Palace Plans.

Mitchell.-What is considered the
best and most profitable banquet and
business session of the Commercial
club of this city was held Thursday
night, when over 200 business men
gathered around the banquet board in
Glynn's tavern. With the report of
Treasurer Patton the fact was dis
closed that the corn palace was
financial success in spite of the three
days bad weather. Aside from pay
ing all expenses, $1,000 was retained
and placed in sinking fund with
which to erect a permanent building
for the corn palace enterprise. 1t is
expected that next year brick build
ing of very large dimensions will be
erected for the corn palace and for
use as an auditorium, to be heated
and made comfortable in the winter
time, where the live stock show, the
corn show and the state poultry show
can all be held under one roof and
at the same time. A committee was
also named to select permanent site
for the corn palace building. Secre-
tary Silsby, for the Commercial club,
presented a partial report of what the
club had accomplished and outlined
some features for the coming year.
one being the erection of flour mill,
and the other the extension of a
branch line of the Great Northern
railroad into this city. Plans were
laid for financing the expenses of the
Commercial club for the coming year
in order that it can be more effective
in securing enterprises for the city.

Chicago.-Love at first sight and

Purifying Air,

Ultraviolet rays might be used for
purifying the air in submarine boats.
Such rays are produced in great
quantities by the quartz mercury vap-
or lamp and their sterilizing power
is now well know. The secret of the
great power of the ultraviolet rays
is simple, according to Daniel Berthe
lot, a French scientist, for they cor
respond to the highest temperatures
known. In fact, the temperature OF
the mercury vapor lamp which pro-
duces them is even higher than that
of the sun. Mr. Bertheiot says that
If one exposes to the rays a mixture
of carbonic acid gas and ammonia.
they combine and give rise to formic
amide, which is the base of proto
plasm and living matter.

The material on which the patient
is to rest is put on very taut; at the

to make it comfortable. The springs
serve in this respect as an additional
aid. We have noted that the tend

explained by the ability to prevent
