 TALK SUBJECT
Professor SIOcum Speaks to
 High School Club

Last evening. after supper in the hanuuet hall of the I. M. C, A. the members Of the High School club were given a wrc treat in the person of Professor Frederick Slocum Of the Van Nlack observatory nt Wesleyan University, who gave very interest ing llustratcu lecture on "The Stars and Mars.'
 An old Science.
 lie said that astronomy is the old est ut thc sciences One of the first things to be noticed by primitive man was the rising and setting of the sun. It puzzled him. He had many ideas explaining how the sun rises in the east and sets in the west One was that the sun vas carried around from the west to the east in a chariot The explanation was not as simple for the ancents as it is for us.
 Believed Earth Flat.
 In the oden times the earth was believed to be Hat. Next to the earth came e layer of clouds, then the stars After the stars in succession came the moon, the sun and the last layer was one of fire. The planets were thought to be held up by spheres of glass and thus suspended they were carried around the sun. Many allegorical representations have come down to us from the ancicnts. Professor Slocum projected several slides on the screen showing pictures, drawn by the an cients, of how they supposed the uni verse to be constructed.
 As we know now, the sun as a cen ter controls the planets. The rota- tion of the earth on it's axis makes 1t appear to rise in the east and set in the west. Many scientists have con- tributed to the knowledge which we possess now concerning astronomy.
 Study Of Stars.
 As time went on man began to pay attention to the stars. He saw that there were definite groups of stars, that they were not just thrown to- gether in a mass as he had formerly supposed. Some stars were called fixed stars because they were always seen in the same position. Some stars were given names; names which have come down to us through the cen turies. They associated figures and stories with the consultations. For example, "The Ranr of the Golden Fleece" "Orion," and Hercules"
 Ii we look to the northwest in the evening about this time of the year we can see Cygnus, "The Swan" In the southeast we see "Pleiades." "Orion," one of the brightest constel- lations, is also in this direction. Upon looking further we see Sirius" the dog star.
 In Early Times.
 In early times the people had only their general knowledge to guide them The brightest stars were called first magnitude stars and the dimmest were called sixth magnitude stars. The po- sition of the stars were determined by the seXtant, which measured the an gular distance between two stars.
 The First Telescope.
 In 1909 the first telescope was in- vented by Calico, an Italian. It was about one inch in diameter and had a length of one foot. It magnificd thirty times Calico, being the first one to use the instrument, made won derful discoveries. After his inven- tion many of the telescopes were made, but it was necessary to employ an extremely long focus
 In Modern Times.
 Coming down to modern times, the

The telescope M Wesleyan is one Of the fen largest in the world, and has Q focal length ol -S renl In photo- praphinu the stars with a telescope the instrument must follow the sinr In It's route In order 10 get the round appearance of the planet
 Thc Milky Way.
 Tn the milky way, which was shown In several pictures, the stars are thick In some regions and in other regions there are almost Mo stars visible, In the middle or the milky way there arc hardly any stars visible, supposedly due to their being hidden by some dark mass between us and the stars,
 Next we come to the sum- which is, in reality, a star, All stars are suns, They shine by their own light They dimer in brightness, size, tempera- ture and chemical composition. Some are hotter than others, The sun is q metallic star, yellow in color. The so-called sun spots" compare to the storms on the earth. They drift across the surface of the sun like the storms drift across the surface ol the earth,
 The sun.
 The spectrum of the sun is shown by the spcctroscope and 1t appears as a band of rainbow coIors crossed by black lines To find out the compo- sition of the sun m a particular spot iron or some other metal is heated so that it shines. The spectroscope is used on it and the two bands of col or are compared. Where \thc black lines are the same in each band that metal, iron for example, is in the composition of the sun.
 About Mars.
 Mars, in many ways, compares with the earth, For example, the polar caps on that planet If one should stand on Mars he would see those caps on the earth. In the summer when the temperature is warm, the caps retreat farther north, In the winter they come south.
 The Moon.
 For the last part of the lecture, MT. Slocum spoke of our neighbor, the moon. Considering that the moon is 24O,0 miles away, one can readily see why it is called a "neighbor" !" There is much detail on the moon as shown by telescopes. Mountains, val leys, craters, and plains are visible to a great extent. The largest crater on the moon is 56 miles across. The lec- ture was brought to an end by an eX- plantation of the word '1unatic.' It was an old belief that when 6 person fell asleep, letting the moon shine on him. he lost his wits. The people thought that the lost wits of the luna tics were stored in the largest crater on the moon.
 Club is Fortunate.
 Professor Slocums lecture was H. lustrated by about fifty slides, showing photographs and diagrams of the heavens. The club was lucky in SC curing NIr. Slocum for the lecture, as his evenings are taken up with classes and research work. Some of the members expressed a desire to go to the observatory some evening in or der to gaze through the large tele- scope If it is possible MT. Dorbuck will arrange for such a trip

Fake glass of Salts if your Back hurta or Bladder bothers you--Drink
 more water.

If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef- forts to expe! it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with dull misery ill the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach so,irs, tongue is coated and whey the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. qha urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three time during the night.s
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush of the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in Q glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine This famous. salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralixe the acids in urines 30 it no longer irritatea. thus ending bladder wealmess.

ANOTHER WELL BROUGHT IN

Fl Dorado, Feb. 26.-There is great rejoicing among the faithful here to. night because the Fl Dorado field has given birth to what is believed to be the best oil we'll yet produced here The Ell Dorado Petroleum Company $ Payne No. 1 blew in exactly at Il :5( this morning, and. it has all the mark ings of a real oil well.
 Only impolite people will censure these persons who think they can stand fat-footed and estimate wells flow in barrels and gallons, some thing that cannot be done with an de- gree of accuracy. Estimates on the Payne we'll flow range from 5000 to 15,OOO barrels. Somewhere between these extremes lies the correct figure, and it is not far from 5000 barrels, with good output of oil
 Even the confirmed pessimists had to admit it was good well-with more oil than has been seen in these parts before. The we'll was left open only 10 minutes, and in that time had covered the slope of the cotton field with it's production
