Good Dollars Sent After 80 Cents

Vermonters pay over two mil
lion dollars in federal income tax
es every year. Yet when Congress
offers Vermont a few hundred
thousand dollars for this purpose
or that, providing the state will
match it with an equal amount,
the legislature jumps for the bait
on the theory that Vermont is get
ting something for nothing. In
all, this little state contributes
over three million dollars a year
for Washington to disburse, only
a small portion of which ever
dribbles back.-Randolph Herald.

Beautifvins Country Towns

The pioneers who settled many
country towns had no taste. They
built their houses close to the road
and removed all trees from their
business center They felt the
open country was close by, and if
anyone wanted rural sights he
could 20 outside the village.
In others the old settlers plant
cd trees in their trade centers in
stead of removing them. and sur
rounded their homes with shrub
berry. As the years passed these
places have become eenters OF
beauty and people move into them
as attractive residence towns. No
country town is developing right.

CAPITOL ARCHITECT

Ten Sites Considered At Ses-

Charleston, July 21 - The state
capitol commission meeting with
Cass Gilbert, the architect, in exocu-
tive session this afternoon at the
Offices of Governor L. +. Morgan.
discussed the various sites proposed
in this city for the new building.
Nothing definite was decided,
Houston G. Young, Secretary Of the
Commission said tonight, and until
q selection is actually made, the
work of the commission will not be
divuleed he added. Mr.. Gilbert,
who came here from his Of
fees in New York today, on two
former trips to Charleston made
preliminary surveys Of the territory
and is acquainted with the geograph-
ical situation here, he said
New Site Proposed.
Ten separate sites In this city
were proposed 10 the commission
at a pGO'ic meeting Tuesday and
today another site, bounded by
Washington, Broad. Smith ard
Brooks streets, was proposed by
John l.. Thoinhill. Mr.. rhornhill,
says ii is one q the largest plots
cbtainable near~the business sec
ton and that it would face the
kanawha AID Michigan station
which is the terminus for the New
York Central, Baltimore and Ohio
and Kanawha and West Virginia
railroads.
Its Advantages.
Only one business house would
suffer by the selection and the
homes on this tract are not costly.
He sums up the advantages of this
site thus:
l. Proximity TO the business
district
2. "Neaness to railroad trem.
inal, which would be particularly
emphasized when the proposed
terminal is built; bring all trains
directly in front of the capitol and
giving a stranger an opportunity to
view the capital while travelling.
3. "The ample space for all build
ings.
4. The cheapness of the proper.

TREMENDOUS BODY
OF GAS IN HEAVENS
14O TriIiion Miles In Lenqth.

The existence of an inconceivably
vast object in the heavens has Just
been demonstrated by a Dutch scien.
fist, Dr. A. Pannekock,
Its mass. he says, is twenty thou.
sand million times greater than
that # the sun itself, and it can be
described as celestial gas or dust
cloud.
DR.. A c. D. Crommelin, of London,
who contributes paper on the sub
iect to Nature" says the discovery
seems TO make it desirable to re-
discuss the Gynamics OF the solar
system" According to DR.. Panne.
kock's estimates, this huge dark
body is 10000, O06,000,00O miles in
length and twice that distance away
from the solar system. 1t is sit
uated in the constellation of Taurns,
and shows as dark area to the
right of Oricn's belt.
DR.. Pannekock works on the as.
sumption that it Is a gigantic cloud
of dark gas. and his figures as to
its mass are greater than many
estimates of the combined mass of
the whole universe itself.
Another scientist. Professor De
Sitter, suggests that the body may
consist of dust instead of gas, in
which case the mass would be much
less. Viewed from the earth the
lark body occupies one-third Of a
line drawn down from the Pole Star
tC the sky line.

The invention of Dr. Alexander
Won Rothe, a professor in the Der.

by the Ministry OF Education, which
is supporting the installation of six
more cameras in the operating
rooms of Berlin clinics.
The camera Is on the end of a

tube on which a hydraulic elevator
rests. which runs up and down thru
the skylight and hangs directly over
the operating table. The reels OF

Four small motors raise and low

In the chamber above the operating
room is reflected by mirrors through
the skylight and focused directly on
the field of operation. The heat from
this light is said to be very good for
the patient during the operation
A number of prominent German
surgeons have filmed the operations
by which they have won their fame.
They now wish to install similarly
constructed operating rooms in
other European capitals and in
America and exchange the films for
the benefits of universities and
medical conventions.
