Measuring Our Universe.

Astronomers are inclined to believe
that our universe with Its 100000
stars is after all but part of space
and that other universes may lie be-
You'd. Attempts have been made to
measure the size of the sO-called uni
verse, but opinions differ very widely
as to it's dimensions. 1t is difficult to
measure 1t by using so small a unit
of measure as mile. If we take the
speed of light which travels $4,000
miles In single second, for c0mpari-
son we will begin to gala some faint
idea Of the. dimensions. Light speed
ing along OF this rate will travel In an
hour 669, 100000 miles. 1t Is estimated
that It would take light $4,000 years
to travel across this space. Some as
tronomers even believe that 1t would
take ten times as long or 100000 light
years. The mind can scarcely grasp
the idea that beyond this universe lie
even greater voids,-Boy's Life.

In party government as distinguished
from personal government, individual,
dictatoral, autocratic or what not.
No man is big enough to run this
great republic. There never has been
one. Such domination was never in
tended. Tranquility, stability, depend
abllity-all are assured in party spOn-
sorship, and we mean to renew the as
surances WHICH were rended IN the
cataclysmal war.
Our first cOmmittal is the restOra-
ton Of representative popular govern
ment, under the constitution. through
the agency of the Republican party.
Our vision includes more than chief
executive, we believe In cabinet OF
highest capacity, equal to the RESPONSE
bilities which our system cOntem-
plates, In whose councils the vice
resident, second official of the repub-
lic shall be asked to participate. The
same vision includes cordial under
standing and co-ordinated activities
with a house of Congress, fresh from
the people, voicing the convictions
which members bring from direct con-
tact with the electorate. and cordial
cooperation along with the restored
functions of the senate, fit to be the
greatest deiberative body of the
world.

One of the odd trades of. Birmfng-
ham is that of artificial eye-making,
says the London Daily Mail. 1t has
never been more thriving than now.
Some makers have three months work
ahead. The war added to the de-
mand, and there are thousands of ex-
service men who cannot possibly be
supplied for a considerable time. The
variety of artificial eyes is surprising.
They differ In the size Of the iris,
shape and the color of the "white."
No two eyes are alike, and the artifi-
cial eye has to match the remaining
one, a matter of nice Judgment. For
merly the Germans competed In the
trade. but their "eyes" had many
faults
