Illinois, although the third state in the Union in point of population, has been the twenty-second state to estab­ lish an engineering department of the state board of health. However, such a department has now been organized •on a substantial basis and great good to the public health of the state may be looked for through its activities. Hitherto municipalities and private corporations have without hindrance built unsanitary sewerage systems and furnished polluted water supplies. Such offenses not only affect local public health, but constitute foci of infection throughout wide areas in this day and age of rapid transit. The state board of health is the only state department that can adequately deal with these matters, and it is proposed through the new sanitary engineering bureau to scrutinize all projects for water works and sewerage, with special reference to their relation to the public health. Not only will the public health be benefited, but in many instances large sums of money will be saved by pre-, venting unwise selections of sources of water supply and many exrils of real estate speculation will be eliminated through early attention to drainage conditions. Close attention will be given to sum­ mer resorts. Chautauqua grounds, fair grounds and construction camps, all of which are known to be responsible for the spread of communicable and pre­ ventable diseases when -not properly jsupervlsed.

The scheme for lighting the court­ house will be to t"hrow powerful beams of light upon the building from huge reflectors which will be placed on top of business houses surrounding the public square. Members of the commercial club's carnival committee hope that the same plan may be used on the statehouse, and a conference with state officials may be held within a short time to see If the matter can be arranged. To light the capitol building in this way would require about thirty-two of the reflectors, which cast a 200,000 candle power light. One of the reflectors which will be bought for illuminating the court house arrived In Springfield yesterday from the Western Electric company of Chicago and was given a trial last night to test the light's power. Mem­ bers of the commercial club's carnival committee yesterday conferred with Mayor Baumann preparatory to asking the council next Monday to take steps so as to change the lighting effect on the courthouse square archer with the rest of the system to be used dur­ ing the week of the fair. On all four corners of the court­ house building pipes will be installed to throw up festoons of steam to be supplied by an engine to be furnished by the C. & A. Railroad company. The powerful lights from the reflectors on the buildings will be thrown In differ­ ent colors into the volumes of steam, producing a lighting effect similar to that which is being used at the Pana­ ma-Pacific fair. Springfield will be one of the first cities in the country to use the huge reflectors for the purpose for which they are to be installed here and the Western Electric company promises to give considerable publicity to the fact in a circular book which that concern publishes. r v ' ' f f r " t : Changes Made in State Office*. State utilities commissioners and employees in the commission's office prepared to remove their headquar­ ters from the first t«i the second floor of the capitol. The utilities commission will, as soon as it can become established, or cupy the present office of the state board of administration on the second floor of the south wing of the state­ house, west side; and, in addition, the room, formerly the old supreme court room, which has been oocupied by the automobile department of the secr<> tary of state's office. The automobile , department has moved to the office rooms formerly oc­ cupied by the state highway commis­ sion which, in turn, has moved from the second floor, west wing, to assem­ bly committee rooms on the third floor. The state board of .admfcistration will occupy the old railroad *nd ware­ house and the utilities commission of­ fices on the first floor! east wing. Six Counties Are in Quarantine. Six counties in Illinois were placed in close quarantine by the federal and state governments following new out­ breaks of foot-and-mouth disease. The quarantined areas include Cook, Bu­ reau, Ford, Henry. McDonough and Warren counties. The Union stock yards in Chicago are again placed in restricted area. Dr. Orrin Dyson, state veterinarian, declared that the new outbreaks had been traced positively to infected anti- hog cholera serum. "The quarantining was done at Washington," said Doctor Dyson! "That .acted automatically for the state for we are working in conjunc­ tion with the federal bureau of ani­ mal husbandry. "Every single outbreak has been placed beyond the shadow of a doubt to the use of antihog cholera serum manufactured by a Chicago concern. The public should be warned that where bog cholera serum has been used within the past thirty days hog raisfrs should be on the lookout for trouble." The Union stock yards in Chicago, according to Doctor Dyson, will be permitted to ship and receive cattlt for immediate slaughter.

MANUAL STUDY ADVANTAGE That It Must Promote the Mind to In­ vention 8eems to Be Self- Evident. The principal of a technical high school says that invention does not frequently manifest itself in the stu­ dents of manual training. Probably this is true also of other students and it may be a fact cr it may simply be a report of a failure to observe the manifestation. Other things being equal the student engaged in a man­ ual study should develop the almost divine instinct and gift of invention more readily than one not so engaged and the greater the intelligence the greater the exercise of Invention. This is demonstrated particularly in den­ tists, a body of men of superior intel­ ligence, whose profession tends to in­ crease their growth along mechanical lines. Many inventions are made by dentists, not only along dental lines, but in other directions. But invention is unconfined to employments or voca- During Col.
