sIeN-MAPs ASSIST TRAVELLER
Example Set by State of Maryland
Might Well Be Followed by
Other commonweaIths.

Maryland has set an example that
might probably be followed by all
states, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Instead of the curt and usually I'M
satisfying road sign that leaves the
traveller frequently more puzzled than
before. Maryland has begun to erect
sign-maps that tell the traveller where
he Is; that indicate the general direc-
tion to other points and the distances
between such points. Thus, instead
of being told road leads to some
place the tourist may never have
heard of, the sign-map will show him
that 1t is either on or off the way to
the place he Is anxious to reach.
Such sign-maps should not be neces-
sarily expensive to put up, nor elabor-
ate. In fact. the simpler the better.
But how many times has lost motor

vice that would show him where he
was and how he could get to the
place he was trying to reach? The
ordinary road signs. even when legi-

demonstration last spring If the
farmers In the district would con-
tribute materials and labor. The re-
Spouse was gratifying. Nineteen men
and five teams were furnished, and
In two and half days the road and
bridge were completed. Everything
needed was on hand in the community
so that no time was lost going to the
mill for anything, the only expense
being $1.20 invested In nails The
road was constructed with both gravel
and corduroy.
The demonstration was one. Of the
most successful ever carried out in the
country. Nothing could have met with
more general approval and satisfac-
tion. One farmer who makes two trips
to market week said he would save
over $40 on every trip over the new
road because of the shorter haul.
About 500 people will be benefited by
the improvement.

even with telescopes as much more
powerful than the biggest ones now In
use as the latter are stronger than the
naked eye.
So careful an astronomer as Agnes
M. Clarke tells us that skiff in
a vast, unfurrowed ocean could not
be more utterly alone than is our solar
system In its little corner Of the uni
verse. She continues:
"Yet the sun is DO isolated body. To
each individual of the unnumbered
stars strewing the armament, down to
the faintest speck of light, 1t
stands in some kind of relationship"
Spectroscopic studies and sky OBJ
servation alike tell us that our sun
and his family are all headed in a
great migration across the sky to-
ward a point between the coslstella-
tions of Hercules and Lyra.
The speed with which we are trav-
cling in that direction is IL miles a
second. The velocity of an artillery
shell is around 5000 feet second !;
that of the sun Is $1,000 feet. An
artillery shell with the velocity of the
solar system through space would, ac-
cording to Kippax, penetrate a sheet
of steel four city blocks thick.
Is our great family journey through
space along straight road, or is it
revolving around some greater body,
even as the earth revolves around the
sun and the moon around the earthf
The astronomer tells us frankly that
If the sun has an orbit its curve as yet
defies detection.
Star Cluster in Hercules.
A faint idea of the stupendous num-
Der of stars that dot the sky and the
staggering distance that separate them
from our earth may be obtained from
fuzzy little speck of light in the con-
stellation Of Hercules. 1t is visible
TO the unaided eye only on the clear
est nights; but train high-powered
telescope on it and you will see one
of the finest star clusters In all the
heavens
Ritchey's photograph Of this cluster,
taken with the big 60-inch Mount Will
son reflector, discloses that it Is made
up of more than $4,000 stars, very
many of them as big and as bright as
our own sun. How far away they are
cannot be said, for they are too re-
mote for measurement with the finest
instruments yet devised. 1t is GER
tain, however, that they are at least
so distant that the light coming to the
earth from them this year may have
started on Its hurtling journey through
space about the time Of Joshua's con-
quest of Jericho.
A glance to smother spot in the
armament will afford a weak sugges-
ton of the tremendous age of the uni
verse. The central star of the sword
Of Orion appears to the naked eye as
merely a dim little fellow that might
be passed without a thought But
telescope disclOses it as the most
magnificent nebula in the heavens. Its
diameter is thought to be 10000, 900
times greater than that of our sum-
When the sweet singer of Israel
sang that "the heavens declare the
glory of God and the armament shew-
eth His Handiwork," he had never
seen more than 5000 stars. With the
latest Mount Wilson reflector 100000
600 write themselves upon the photo
graphic plate.
