Measuring Our Universe.

Astronomers are inclined TO believe
that our universe with its 100000
stars is after all but a part of space
and that other universes may lie be-
yond. Attempts have been made to
measure the size Of the sO-called uni
verse, but opinions differ very widely
as TO its dimensions. 1t is difficult TO
measure it by using SO small unit
of measure as d mile. If we take the
speed of light which travels $4,000
miles in single second, for compari-
son we will begin TO gain some faint
idea of the dimensions. Light speed
ing along ut this rate will travel in an
hour 669, 100000 miles. Ii Is estimated
that II would take light 10000 years
10 travel across this space. Some as
tronomers even believe that Ii 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.

Sunset ColorS.

The gorgeous sunset cOl0rS are due
to the red light which is transmitted
through the cloudy sky and is the re-
verse of the blue of the sky. Water
is apparently blue in itself when one
looks through a sufficiently long layer.
If, however there were nothing to re-
fleet the light back, the water would,
do show exactly this phenomenon. If
there is q small amount of rejecting
particles the water looks blue. With
more suspended particles certain
amount of yellow is sent back and the
water becomes green. In the tropics
the water is an intense blue, except
near the shore, where it becomes an
almost equally intense green.
The water of the RhOne where it
flows out of the Lake of Geneva is
is green, and we find that the Rhine
contains 20 per cent more suspended
calcium carbonate than the Rhone.
Sometimes the water in a swimming
tank will be green. This is due to sus-
pended solids in the water. The same
effect can occasionally be obtained in
a porcelain-lined bathtub. The clear
brown brooks that one finds in many
places in New England owe their color
TO the presence of a brown material OF
the nature of tannin, 80 this would
really be Il pigment color and not
structural One.-Scientific American.

JONAH MERELY A M0UTHFUL
Monster Fish Recently Caught at Mi
ami, Fla. Could Have Accommo-
dated T~enty Prophets.

Was Jonah swallowed by whale?
According TO the biblical story il was
a fish Of this nature that entertained
the prophet in IFS interior for three
days and nights, but the limited size OF
the whales throat precludes the posi-
bility of its swallowing a man.
However, there was caught at Mi
ami, Fla, recently. a fish that could
have lunched on 20 JOnahs without
suffering the slightest pang of indiges-
tl0n, and among the many persons who
have seen the fish are clergymen who
have formulated the theory that it was
really fish of this species that swal-
lowed Jonah.
Here is the way this deniZen OF the
deep shapes up in the way Of dimen-
sional figures: The net weight of the
fish, when caught. not including its
last meal. was 10000 pounds. Its liver
alone touched the beam at LOO
pounds, which is about the weight Of
a hefty bullock. From end TO end il
measures 40 feet. which is equal TO the
combined length of eight normal men,.
AT the thickest part the circumfer-
ence is % feet inches.
One of the most impressive features
of the fish is its month. which is 30
inches wide and 43 inches deep. In
side Of the mouth is tongue 40 inches,
and it has a multitude of teeth much
smaller than baby's. Nobody has
ever attempted TO count these mOlars.
The tail resembles the caudal append
age of an airplane and measures 10
feet from tip to tip.
But big as the fish is, it died in in
fancy. Scientists who have measured
its cartilaginOus, formations say they
are far from developed and that had
this monster attained full growth it
would have been two and half times
as large as it is now.
According to the scientists of the
Smithsonian institution the animal is
a whale-shark, and is the first speci-
men of its kind that has been captured.
They state further that it is an inhabi-
tant of water of 1,50O feet depth, its
hide of sufficient thickness TO with
stand the most enormous water pres
sure, and its eyes, which have no lids
and consequently were never closed,
indicating that it dwelt as a depth
where eyes are of no avail.
The Smithsonian scientists believe
that it was thrown up by some subter-
ranean volcanic disturbance, which in
jured its diving apparatus so that it
was unable TO return to its natural
levels and that thus disabled it strayed
beyond confines fixed for the mon
sters of the deep.
Capt. Charles III. Thompson of Mi
ami, caught the fish while cruising for
tarpOn off Knights key, Florida

FLOWING FATAL TO INSECTS
Countless Numbers of Crop Pests Can
Be Destroyed by Disking Ground
During Fall.

Various field insects pass the winter
in the soil. Some of them make earth.
en- nests lined with silk, while others
hide at the base of the roots of plants.
A. G.. Ruggles, state entOmolOgist of
Minnesota, thus explains how count
less numbers of crop pests can be de-
stroyed:
when the insect is in the trans-
tiOnal period between the larva or
worm and the adult they are very sus-
ceptible to disturbances. Disking or
plowing the ground in the fall disturbs
these forms and many of them die. II
is also known. that alternate thawing
and freezing weather has destructive
effect upon insect life. Many insects
can endure freezing alone, but alter.
nate freezing and thawing is fatal.
"Also many of the more delicate
FORMS If the plowing is done properly
can be covered so deeply with soil that
they are unable 10 reach the surface
the following year. Many insects ex-
posed by the plow are also devOured by
birds. For these reasons disking or
plOwing are operations recommended
by all economic entomOlOgists"

EATONIC Users
DO This Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Ill.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested Eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough TO take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out Of the system. This requires a
little time, for Eatonic takes up the
excess ,acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and Of course,
when il is all removed, the sufferer gets
we'll, feels fine-full Of life and pep.
If you have been taking an Eatonic
now and then, be sure and take 1t regu
larly for time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak TO
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

That the farmers Of the country find

by the weather bureau of the United

been to him and his neighbors in plant

These forecasts have been of un-

for corn last week. When we re-
ceived your bulletin predicting rain
for Tuesday or Wednesday of this
week, we got busy with our corn
planters, some even turning the face
of their calendars to the wall and
letting one Sunday get away from
them. To make long story short,
when your predicted rain struck us
Tuesday noon and is still coming down
this, Wednesday, morning, Ii found
over One-third of the Illinois corn crop

Monday. These forecasts are made
for nine separate districts covering
practically the entire United States,
and necessarily are less specific than
the daily forecasts. They are given
