visor Of the boys club work OF the

During the last few years, through

sands Of pure bred hogs have been
brought into South Carolina, and Mr..
Baker says that hundreds OF these
valuable animals have been lost In
the epidemic which is spreading over
South Carolina. He knows Of brood
sows worth from 800 to $3.50 which
have succumbed to the disease, be-
sides the scores Of pigs and shoats
valued from SIS up to $75 and 800.
Just as the cattle tick has been
eradicated by the cooperation Of state

Velocity of Liuht.

The velocity of light was obtained
by the Danish astronomer ROemer in
1876, by observing the eclipses of Jup1'
ter's moons. When the earth was
nearest to Jupiter, the eclipse ap-
peared about eight and one-half min
utes too soon for the calculations, and
when the earth was most remote from
Jupiter, they were about eight and one
half minutes too late. Roemer conclud'
ed the reason to lie that it required IL
minutes for light from the planet to
traverse the diameter of the earth's
orbit, which measured the difference
of the distances of the earth from
Jupiter This calculation has since
been verified, and proves that light
travels about 10000 miles a second.

the great palace of Versailles cost
France under the reign Of its builder,
Louis XIV. Louis became badly scared

king had no right to spend so much
money for palace to house his friends
when the nation over which he ruled
was starving. So Louis did what many

Everything that happens to us leaves

it is often dangerous to take a strict
