The barges which are making the
initial trip travelled down the Chicago
srztuaee canal. into the Illinois %
Michigan canal, and thence into the
rinois river at la Sale, down that
cream to the Hennepin. or as is other
wise known, the Illinois and Missis-

tsslpps and are 10 dock at Davenport.
The barges are loaded to capacity
and the trip is an experimental one,
vreparatory to figuring out a schedule
IA which the company could place
about FIVE or six barges, giving the tri-
cites a sailing this year OF once

thar a fair amount OF business can be
established and the claim is made that
already there is more business than
can be handled with the present equip
ment.
VIII Show Feasibility.
The meeting tonight will show to the
business men OF the three cities the
feasibility OF regular service and the
aim is to create an interest among the
commercial concerns here so til the
plan will reach an early and lasting
success.
The establishment of this service is
boxed upon by those interested as
means OF fastening the rehabilitation
Of the Illinois and Michigan canal.

be an incentive to a greater and more

Life of the Sun,

Adopting the well known hypothesis
of Helmboltz, which attributes the
production OF the heat emitted by the
sun to its contraction, an idea can be
formed of the suns duration. If one
gives to the sun coefficient of expan-
sion intermediate between that of
mercury and that of gas, one arrives
at the conclusion that it has taken
100000 to 100000 years for the sun
to contract to its present radius; in
particular. 1t would have taken 10000
years to contract from infinity to a
radius twice Its present radius. Final
ly, the sun will take 100000, 900 years
20 contract from it's present radius to
half that radius, and even then its
temperature at the surface will be

There were several games of volley
ball directed by Mr.. Clevett and the
boys were eager to get in on the
teams and learn the rules of the
game. A number of boys and girls
came provided with rackets to maze
use of the tennis courts and balls
were provided for the baseball games.
1t was a real pleasure to see the en-
thusiasm with which the kiddies en-
tered into every sport and the eager

learn how to play.
Citizens Donate Funds.
The funds for the equipment of the
park were collected by Mrs. Denk-
mann and Mrs. Rice and are the do
nation of about 25 citizens who should
be proud of what has been accom-
plished with the money thus provided,
and it is the hope OF the committee
that everyone who aided the project
financially and otherwise visit the
park and see what have been the re-
suits. 1t is also the hope of the com
mittee to provide In the near future a
swimming pool, games for the little
children and a story telling hour for
young and old. The grounds are
open each day except Sunday, from
sunrise to sunset and the nets may be
procured from Mrs. Adolph Nuessli
who for the present at least, will have
them in charge. Mr.. Clevett will be
there each day and do what is in his
power to make the place a popular
one for the children.
