OF them rise to height OF 100000
miles.
The heat of these flames is about
700 degrees centrigrade. That is
70 times the amount of heat neces-
sary to make water boil.
One of these flames is bad
enough. You get an idea of the
combined terrific heat travelling to-
ward us when you stop to think
that these giant flames are all over
the suns surface and that the suns
diameter is $4,000 miles, against
the earth's diameter of about 5000
miles.
With powerful telescope and
spectroscope, scientists are uncov-
ering knowledge about the sun
from the safe distance of 92,S30,000
miles.
The human brain is getting some
where when it can ferret out infor-
nation at that stupendous distance.

While one branch of scientists
investigates the far-off, another
branch finds equally marvellous
things here on earth, so small that
the human eye cannot see them.
At Nela Park laboratories, Cleve-
land, boscina bugs-so small that
1000 of them in straight line
measure only one inch-are placed
on lantern slide. Magnified by
microscopic lenses and projected on
a movie screen, these boscina or
ganisms are observed viciously at
tacking each other.
Other bugs, only a twenty-fifth
OF an inch long, are flashed on the
movie screen and shown cuddling
their young.
Another minute form of life is
shown feeding itself with a sort of
paddlewheel under its eyebrows.

Maybe you are one OF the lucky
who can recall a boyhood in a
country town-and the thrill OF 60
ing down TO the village depot to
watch mo. II" steam in with a
shrill screeching OF brakes.
Out yonder, beyond the horizon,
Law the Great Unexplored.
You recall your envy OF the vii
lage banker when he returned from
a trip to New York or some other
metropolis.
To travel 50 miles by railroad,
back in President Harrison's day,
was a boyhood treat beyond the
dreams OF avarice.
Today the boy yawns as he
climbs into the Pullman for trip
OF 500 or 1000 miles. It's interest
ing, but not out of the ordinary,
What he yearns for is to fly in
that steel airplane overhead.
Travel, "far from home" once
was thrill even ior the grown
ups. Now it's rather dull neces-
sity OF blase age.

What science sees through its
Super-microscopes and telescopes
today seems wonderful. And it is.
But it is crude and primitive to the
discoveries that will be made by
future scientists.
Nature is like a candy box with
millions OF layers. SO far, we have
uncovered only the first layer.
Other layers will be uncovered,
each more wonderful than the one
before.
Usually, when science finds
something new. it is regarded mere
ly as an interesting laboratory ex-
pertinent. Later it inevitably is
put to practical use.
Thus each one Of these discover
les affects mans ways of living.
The future of human life is un-
guessable, but it certainly will be
bizarre, utterly unlike the lives we
live today.
Mentally we are barbarians, slow
ly moving toward knowledge. Com
pared with our far-off descendants
we are like oysters compared with
the best human brains of today,
though vanity makes this hard to
believe or admit.

A Jud1cious Inquiry.

A well-known travelling man who Wis
its the drug trade, says he has often
heard druggists ask a customer, who
wished to buy a cough medicine, wheth-
er it was for child or an adult and
if for a child, they almost invariably
recommended Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The reason for this is that
they know there is no danger from it
and that it always cures. There is not
the least danger in giving it and for
colds, Group and whooping cough it is
unsurpassed.

zen of the county as we'll as resident
of the city of Brookhaven, is announc-
ing today as a candidate for the office
of Chief of Police of the City of Brook
haven at the coming primaries.
Mr.. Boone is a man of sterling char
acter-a man who can be counted upon
whose record is open and a man whom
his closest acquaintances as well as
himself ask the closest investigation Of
Mr.. Boone is not asking the elective
position just because he wants a job,
but because, as he expresses it, he be-
lieves he can better the service Of the
office for which he strives.
For instance, he states that If he is
chosen chief he will organize his force
so that he will at all times know where
his men are, especially the night police
men, who are really the main protec-
ors Of the city-especially the business
section. Mr.. Boone states that he will
see that such system is inaugurated
that will enable him to keep accurate
check on them at all times,
With experience as constable in this
beat several years ago and painstak-
ing public knowledge of the affairs ov-
er which Mr.. Boone seeks the voters
support, The Leader offers his candi-
dacy to the careful consideration of the
electorate of the city.
Mr.. Boone will be glad to see person
ally each voter and explain in full his
plans and ideas of chief of the city.
