END or WORLD is DESCRIBED
What viii Happen II Our Planet
Bumps into the Sun-Misplacee
Faith in Solar System.

What will be the end of the world
This is a question which was formerly
asked of soothsayers and prophets
and often answered by them with
definite statements and dates which
were, to those who believed them, to
the last degree disquieting. Such
prophets and prophecies have all been
proved erroneous. and the Millerites
and their kin have all been laughed
out Of serious consideration, says the
Technical World Science has taught
us better, and yet science which seeks
always new facts and revised reason
ing is now teaching us that our faith
In the safety OF the solar system is
misplaced.
Instead of the eternally changeless
procession of the planets about the
sun and of our solar system about
some other, greater sun, astronomers
find grave evidence of what seems dis
order in what we thought was per
petual perfection, disorder which
may, indeed probably will, sometime
wreck our own planet. 1t is possible
astronomically considered it is
probable-that, unseen within the re
mote confines OF space the vast mass
of dead world is hurting toward our
sun with uncomfortable velocity. In
time the two will come together and
the Unreasonable heat produced viii
make gas of granite and floating
clouds of nebulae of US all; for thus
worlds die and thus they are imme
diately in process of being born again,
for out of the condensation of this
nebulae will come the beginnings Of
new solar system which will, in the
countless aeons of astronomical time,
go through t; same process of evolu-
ton and decay.

BREED PESTS FOR BOUNTY

The Vermont legislature may be
asked to repeal the hedgehog bounty
bill, on the ground that certain con-
scienceless farmers are actually rails
ing hedgehogs for the 30-cent bounty
that the guileless state is now paying
a head The hedgehog bounties
amount to about $4,000 year, rep
.resenting the killing of about 100000
shedgehogs. With Yankee thrift that
not even the makers of wooden nut
megs in Connecticut could excel, some
farmers have figured that a hedgehog
crop is pretty profitable at 80 cents
a head.

Advertising
Talks
SIDEWALK ADS A NUISANCE
Not Only Offensive to the Eye But
Unpopular With Most Citizens
as Well.

Street and sidewalk advertising has
become SO general in many places
that public protest is being raised
against it on the score that 1t disig-
ures city. 1t is bad enough to dis
figure the landscape in the country.
1t is not SO easy to dishgure city,
but 1t is no less reprehensible. 1t is
more difficult to disfigure a city, be-
cause as a rule there is but little
beauty in it to be disfigured. But. as
the City Beautiful idea grows there
is more effort to avoid those things
some of them taken as matters OF
course for several generations--which
offend the artistic eye and the artistic
perception.
In Des Moines the chief of police
has put a stop to sidewalk and street
advertising. Acting under authority
granted by an old ordinance which he
discovered, he has instructed his off,
GERS to bring to the police station all
persons carrying advertising signs,
driving advertising wagons, or in any
way using the streets of the city for
dishguring of the walks by chalk or
paint signs. The chiefs action fol-
lowed complaint entered by the Com
mercial club of the city. The streets
of that city have been infested witt
sandwich men, men on horseback and
other advertisers on the streets. They
are unmitigated nuisances in the
crowded streets of the business dis
trict They impede traffic, and make
the streets OF the city look like
NANCY dog.
If the case Is taken to court, it
will be interesting to note what the
final decision will be.
So far as merchants generally are
concerned, newspaper advertising and
signs on store fronts, supplemented
by window displays, will attract more
attention If the sidewalks are not
painted or chalked over, and il dis
tracing street and sidewalk displays
are not made.

INVENTION
BuBBLING cup IS SANITARY
Man Designs BubbIer That May Be
Placed to Lips While Person 10
In Upright Position.

The one great disadvantage OF the
ordinary bubbling cup sanitary foun-
tain lies in the fact that the drinkers.
whether they be men. women or chill
dren, tall, short, fat or thin, must
place their lips to the cup instead of
placing the cup to the lips.
In an endeavor to remedy this dis
advantage, one sanitary drinking
fountain manufacturer has designed a
bubbler which may be raised to the
height of the lips, SO that the user
may stand In a perfectly easy and
natural position while drinking. This
is made possible by hose and cup
arrangement. the hose consisting OF
a double tube. The inner tube is the

feed pipe for the bubbler, and the
outer tube acts as waste pipe, car
rying away the surplus water while
the person is drinking. The flow Of
water through the inner tube is con-
tinuous, no matter what the position
of the cup. but when the cup is low
cred into its position in the fountain
basin the water flows over it and dis
charges into the basin instead of be-
ing carried away by the outer tube

HOW PRESS AIDS THE BANKER
New Yorker Advises Cooperation Of
Financial Institutions With the
Newspapers.

Fred W. Ellsworth of New York,
made the principal address before the
State Secretaries section at the an
nuai convention of the American
Bankers association held at Detroit,
Mich, recently.
Two of the greatest factors in the
development of our modern civiliza-
tion." said Mr. Ellsworth, ARE the
bank and the newspaper. Each fills
a definite want and neither can be
dispensed with. 1t is to the ever
lasting credit of the banks and the
press that, with some noteworthy ex-
ceptions, their operation has been
uniformly characterized by a broad
conception of their duty to the gen.
ieral public.
There is probably no business in
stitution, public or private, in which
the people are more interested than
they are in the bank. If l were to
advise the bankers In this connec-
ton, would say, get acquainted with
the men in your town who make the
newspapers. / know from personal
conversation with many newspaper
men that they are only too glad to
receive the cooperation of the bank
ers in the dissemination of real news
matter
Please understand that / do not
mean by this that the newspaper will
welcome write-ups or fake news items
just merely to advertise the bank, but
they do want information that is reli-
able and has real news value and will
gladly give it space in their col
umns.
