PARTIAL ECLIPSE
OF sun AUG. 21ST
Rock Islanders Who Rise Early
in Morning May Witness
Phenomenon.

Rock Island people will on Aug. Fl
be presented with an opportunity to
behold partial eclipse OF the sun, but
they must arise with the sun in order
TO witness the phenomena.
In view of the public interest In
the event. Prof. c. G. Albert. head of
the astronomical branch of the Smith
sonian institution at Washington and
recognized authority on solar phenom-
ena, gives a popular account OF the
eclipse and the scientific results sought
from such events.
On Aug. p the moon will pass ex-
actiy between the earth and the sun,
and there will be a total solar eclipse.
1t will be observed in America only
at sunrise and in the northern states
and Canada.
While the moon looks about the
size OF the sun, It is very mucn small
er and nearer. The sun is $4,000
miles in diameter and 100000
miles away, while the moon is 2,163
miles in diameter and 100000 miles
away.
Whenever the solar eclipse is seen
as total the sky will become nearly
as dark as full moonlight, and few
of the brighter stars and planets may
be seen. The duration of the totally
will be longest near Kief, Russia.
Sometimes the moon and sun &C.
cupy such positions that. although
the moon passes directly between
the earth and the sun, the shadow
cone does not quite reach the earth.
Such solar eclipses are called an
nular" and are nowhere total eclipses.
In most favorable conditions a total
eclipse may last over seven minutes
at a station, but such occasions are
very rare.
A total eclipse will be visible IN
the United States on June 8, 1918;
Sept. 10, 1923, and Jan. "a, 1925.

DAVENPORT

Candy Company to Get Corset
Building.-A deal has been completed
whereby the Halligan Candy company
will purchase and move into the aban-
doned building of the Kalamazoo Cor
set factory. located in the 900 block on
West Fourth street. More room and
better shipping facilities are afforded
and the candy concern will be given
an opportunity to expand in its manu-
featuring department. The financial
embarrassment of the Kalamazoo Cor
set company which led to the closing
of its Davenport plant was due in a
large measure to its radical and poorly
advised changes in sales policies. These
included the establishment of 40 retail
corset departments in large stores.
Prior to this step the company en-
ployed 500 persons in its plant and
paid out more than a half million dol
lars in dividends.
Board Sents Out Cheap Anto-Toxin
County Auditor Edward Collins has
received communication from DIR.
Guilford II. Sumner. secretary of the
state board of health, relative to the
distribution of diphtheria anti-toxin by
the board. DR.. Sumner states that for
several years the price of anti-toxin
was prohibitive in numerous cases,
and in others the use of ii was delay
ed because of its expense. The Thirty
fourth general assembly made an ap-
preparation with which the Iowa state
board of health has been able to es-
tablish $50 stations in the state where
the Iowa state board of health
diphtheria anti-toxin may be obtained
by the people of the state at price as
near cost as possible, thereby deriving
the benefit of this remedy in the treat
ment and cure OF diphtheria. The
regular price of anti-toxin is sos for a
curative dose. while the state board of
health furnishes the same thing for
1925, and the price of an immunizing
dose is 81. while the state board of
health price is only 60 cents, and
should any of these packages become !
outdated before being used may be
exchanged for fresh anti-toxin.

The officer walked around the house
and found Weatherton lying on the
floor of the back porch, apparently un
conscious and with a small wound on
his left breast For some time efforts
to resuscitate him were fruitless, but
when he heard Mrs. Weatherton tell
of his threats of self-destruction he
rose to a sitting posture and declared
that he had tried it and would finish
the job" With this remark he reached
for his knife again, but was overpow'
cred by the officer, who quickly -
lieved him of the knife. Bryant then
called the wagon and took Weatherton
to the station where he was booked on
a charge of intoXication. An examina-
ton showed that the selfindicted
wound was slight. consisting OF small
cut on the left breast about one-half
an inch long and about three-fourths
inches deep. The weapon he used was
an ordinary pocket knife.

FOREIGN TRADE
F.. NOT DEVELOPED
United States Leads World in
Home Exchange but Not
With Other Nations.

Washington. d. C. July Sin the
basic elements OF economic progress
the United States ranks high among
che nations OF the world. being one of
the five countries only which have an
area in excess OF 100000 square
miles. and the only nation OF the west
EN- world Except Russie) having a
population OF over 100. 100000. In the
Interchange OF products among its own
people It leads the world, its home
trade at the present time being esti-
mated at nearly $4,000. 100000. or
equal 20 the international exchanges
OF the world and approximately 10
times the value OF our own foreign
trade now valued at $4,000. 100000.
That our present foreign trade is far
short Of the immediate possibilities of
the nation is evident from a considera-
ton OF its area, commerce. and other
economic factors IN comparison with
that OF other leading countries, as set
forth in comparative tables published
IN the Statistical Abstract Of the Unit
ed States. 1913" compiled by the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, department Of commerce. Thus
the present export trade OF the United
States (s2,500.OOO. 00O) represents
about s25 per capita. A per capita
basis equal TO that Of Argentina would
raise the export power OF the Cnited
states to $4,000, 100000, and one equal
to that OF Belgium would bring its ex-
ports to $4,000. 100000 a year; while
our aggregate foreign trade. when upon
per capita basis as large as that OF
Canada, would be considerably over
$4,000. 100000 a year.
Other comparative tables in the
Statistical Abstract" further empha-
sizes the commercial power of the Unit
ed States and its strong International
position. In railway mileage, for ex
ample. we possess one-third OF the
worlds total, our 25s,00O miles being
10 times as much as the mileage of the
United Kingdom and six times that of
Germany. One company alone has
s3S.00 miles of telegraph lines. or
double the total in Russia, next in
order. More than one-third of the
worlds mail service is performed upon
routes located in the United States.
while our public debt OF 81 200, 000, 900
is smaller than that of Italy. Austria
Hungary, Spain. Germany, Australia, |
Japan. British India, or Great Britain, !
and is less than one-sixth that of /
France, and one-fourth that of Russia !
Temporary recessions have frequent |
" marked the course OF American |
commerce, but the tendency, according |
70 historical tables published in the |
Statistical Abstract, is even higher.
In II years. from 1890 TO 1901. our for
eign trade grew from 1900. 0OO, 900 TO
s2,25G, 100000, an increase of so per
cent. while in the II years from 1902
TO 1913 II increased from S225O, 900, 900
to 81 ESQ, 100000. a gain OF 80 per cent
The foundations OF this growth are
laid deep in the soil and natural re-
sources OF our country and in the char
acter OF our people. Thus the Ameri-

tor c. E. Game of Des Moines. Last
Saturday in Des Moines money orders
numbering from 13,16S to 1912 and
from 1914 to 1877 were cashed by
several merchants. The orders were
for various amounts from S24.50 to
$4,000. The thief has numbers 1878
to 1920 still in his possession, and
it is suspected he may make an effort
to cash them here. All the money or
ders cashed in Des Moines were made
payable to Robert Fuller and the re-
mitter in each case was C. B. Porter.
The thief is described as a man 25
years of age, five feet six inches tall,
weighing 40 pounds, Of medium build,
dark hair and of dark complexion,
wearing short stubby mustache and
apparently an accomplished actor. If
money orders bearing these numbers

Progress today on the Panama
Pacific International exposition gives
an idea of the vast exposition city
as it will appear when its gates
swing open to the world on February
20, 1915.
In appreciation Of Americas stu
pendous accomplishment in the build
ing of the Panama canal thirty-four
of the worlds nations have accepted
the invitation conveyed through the
department of state to participate in
the exposition. The displays of the
nations will be notable. Argentina,
for example, has appropriated ST.
100000 for its participation; Japan
will expend 100000; Italy, $400, 700,
and Canada 100000.

Wilson's invitation to participate in
q great naval review upon the formal
opening of the Panama canal.
Work on foreign pavilions and
upon the huge concession district,
1.-The Midway" is under way, the
outlay on construction alone is
enormous. Canada, for example, is
expanding no less than $500. 900 on
her superb pavilion, which will &C
commodate the most notable exhibit
ever made by the Dominion at an ex-
hibition outside Of her own borders.
The exposition is today assured as
the greatest exposition in the worlds
history and the tremendous partici-
patton of the nations is a wonderful
tribute to Americas prestige and
popularity.
The great main exhibit section is a
wonderfully impressive sight. More
than eighty million feet Of lumber
was used in this section. The stand

dark shadows at night upon the ex-
position grounds. The superb colon
nades and peristyles and monu-
mental groups of statuary will stand
out as clearly at night as if by day.
OF special interest to thousands of
visitors will be the great live stock
show to be held throughout the
period Of the exposition. Entries are
being made from all parts of the
world, not only for the live stock
show, but for q series Of great har-
ness races, for both of which events
premiums and prizes aggregating
more than one-haf million dollars
are offered.
The preparation for the display of
the worlds exhibits is far advanced.
More than sixty thousand of the
worlds leading exhibitors will have
their exhibits installed in the vast
exhibit halls when the exposition
opens. Many of the exhibits will be
exceptionally notable, some Of the
individual exhibits representing an
investment of $3.50, OCO to $3.50, 900
and sometimes of an even greater
amount. Whenever practicable, the
exhibits such as hose of machinery,
ETC., will be shown in action to
illustrate the method Of operation.
The care with which the exhibits
have been selected may be inferred
from a reply made by DIR. Frederick
J. v. Skiff, of the Field Columbian
Museum, who is director-in-chief Of
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1914-06-06

dominating architectural feature of
the exposition, the superb Tower of
Jewels, to command the south en-
trance of the great Court of the Uni
verse, is under constructions; the
building will rise from a base an acre
in area to a height of 435 feet,
ascending IN terraces that gradually
give way to group of figures sup
porting a globe, typifying the world.
Thousands of quivering prisps hung
upon the tower at night will reflect
and radiate shafts of light hurled
from masked batteries Of search
lights placed upon the roofs of the
exhibit palaces.
The night illumination will be very
spectacular and wonderful. New
Illuminating methods and new me-
chanical appliances used in illumina-
ton promise at San Francisco a
method of night illumination that
was not possible at any of the for
mer of the worlds expositions. In
Schenectady, New York, a large
force of men is now engaged in the
manufacture of original Illuminating
devices. Hundreds of artisans in
Austria are putting on the finishing
touches to a series of iridescent
prisms that, placed upon the exhibit
palaces, will at night cast q spell
over the exposition city. Flood light
ing, illuminating every detail of the
facades of the exposition palaces,
will be employed. There viii be no

exposition dealing with the subject
of cattle breeding. Pamphlets tell
ing how and where to find these ex-
hibits will be mailed to the members
before they start for San Francisco.
Indeed, in all conventions the ex-
hibits will comprise useful auxiliaries
to the reports and addresses upon
the various subjects.
All features of the exposition are
progressing evenly and happily. To-
day the visitor to the scene Of the
celebration to which America has in
vited the world as her guests, may
gain an idea Of the exposition as it
will appear when the exhibits of the
world are installed in its spacious
halls and hundreds of thousands Of
rare trees, plants and shrubs,
brought from far corners Of the
globe, have transformed the grounds
into q semi-tropical paradise and

position and who is as widely known
abroad as in America. Some one
asked DIR. Skiff what was his ideal
for great worlds exposition.
"One," he replied, "that would SO
present the worlds progress that II
all else in the world but the exposl-
ton were destroyed, what is most
worth while could be reconstructed
from the exhibits" The exposition
stands not alone on commercial
foundation, but is undertaken for its
great ethical and educational influ-
ence.
The conventions and congresses to
meet during the exposition period
viii Indeed have wide educational
influence. One of the most inter-
estinr conventions will be the Inter-
national Engineering congress. The
engineers Of the Pacific coast have
already raised large sum to finance
the congress and the five great ma
tional engineering bodies comprising
the congress have also guaranteed to
aid in defraying the expenses of the
meeting. An exhaustive discussion
will be given to the construction OF
the Panama canal, among other sub
iects, and the proceedings of the con-
gress will be published in standard
lied form. Colonel George w Geo
