The ray of light originated in the star Arcturus at the time Americans were enjoying the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893. The new exposftion, marking one hundred years of Chicago history, has as its theme a broader lesson to mankind, a review of all man's progress in the application of science to industry in the century ending this year So it s only fitting that a bit of scientific magic never attempted before be employed in officially opening the gf-eat exposition on Chicago's lake front. . A^cturcuC of ,'tihe constellation Bootes, one of the - three brightest stars in the northern hemisphere, a heavenly body known and identified by the ancients and one given an important role" in Greek mythology, was selected from all other stars in the visible galaxy for the business of touching off the exposition simply because the rays of light which left it. when Chicago was featuring its first World's Fair are only noy arriving on earth after 'tJiefcrf '^^./jpnrney through space. ^ ; Dr. Edwin B. Frost, former director of Yerkes observatory at Williams Bay originated the idea of capturing a beam of light from Arcturus and a group of astronomers including Otto Struve, present director of Yerkes observatory, Harlow Shapely, director of Harvard observatory at Cambridge, Mass., Robert Baker, director of the University of Illinois observatory at Urbana and Frank C. Jordan, director of the University of Pittsburgh observatory at Allegheny, Pa., were called together to work out the complete details for thg unique experiment of harnessing the energy of a star to provide light for the opening of the exposition. Engineers of two great electrical manufacturing companies installed the necessary equipment for trapping the star ray, and a telegraph company agreed to lend its wires for conveying the impulses to the Fair grounds. So on the appointed evening the giant telescopes of four observatories will be trained on the star Arcturus. Four observatories, instead of one, were selected for the experiment, since clouds might obstruct a view of the star were only one telescope used, i The light of the star, magnified many | times by the lenses of any one of the j giant telescopes, will Be focused upon a .bulb containing a photo-electric cell, A WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS 0FJN1EREST TAKEN FROM COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES 1/^ Fred Cribb of Antioch was taken to Victory Memorial Hospital this week suffering from a severe case of lockjaw, which resulted from an injury he received from a pulverizer. Tetnanus s^rum has been injected to counteract the disease and hope is held for his recovery. R. C. ^Kent, village president of Wauconda for twenty-five years and until one month ago receiver for the Wauconda Trust and Savings bank, was reported to be critically ill at his home in that village. He has been in poor health since he gave up receivership of the Wauconda bank. A total of $32,000 was distributed by Lake County Superintendent of Schools W. C. Petty, recently, to rural and village schools. The money came from the state distributive fund, and waa all for elementary schools. The budget asked this year for county schools from the state fund is $104,- 000, Petty revealed. The Antioch village board last Wednesday adopted its beer licensing ordinance, setting fees ranging between $25 and, $200 for the sale of the 3.2 beer. The ordinance is to take effect July 1st, but in the meantime merchants and tavern keepers who have been selling brew are asked to make applications at once so the inspection by health authorities can proceed. Taking a corner out of a culvert on route 21 near Antioch early Sunday^ morning of .last week, Raymond Loth of Silver Lake, wrecked his car and sustained a badly fractured jaw. He was operated on Monday morning at Victory Memorial Hospital where he is now recovering. Loth is a young ice dealer of Silver Lake. The accident occurred when he flell asleep while driving home from visiting with friends in Chicago, Saturday. During the summer the Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay will, as usual, be open to visitors on Saturday afternoon from 1:30 to 4 o'clock. Because of the participation of the Yerkes Observatory in the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicgo, arrangements are being made to admit visitors on week day afternoons this year only from 5 to 8 p. m. The first Saturday afternoon for visitors will be on May 27, Dr. Otto Strove, director, announced. Dr. G. W.

Route 12--South of McHenry HE WAS an old man, with the weight of many years upon his shoulders. Yet, as he walked along the busy, crowded street, he held his head high and walked as straight and erect as a younger man. There was a quiet pride in his bearing that made itself felt by all who saw him, a sort of inward satisfaction and content that reflected itself in his face. Mingled with it, a look of half-wistful sadness was there, too, but it took a keen observer to see it. The little pin that he wore in his coat lapel told his story. He was a soldier of his country. But this was not all that he had given--his own doing and fighting was as nothing compared to what he had given when his son went to the far-off battlefield never e eas^ banks of Long Lake when he colhighly sensitive to the presence of a car driven by5 J.

But although it had been hard beyond telling, he had been glad when he watched him go, had been proud that another of his race was willing to give his all .for his country Now, he was nearlng the end himself-- soon h'e would meet with those who had gone before. And he was happier than most men in the sunset of life, for he felt that he had done his duty; and more, that he had done it through love. As he looked aloft to where old Glory fluttered in the breeze, the look of pride upon hts face deepened and he' whispered softly to himself: "May the little 1 and mine have done help others to keep you all through the years as bright and shining as you are today--as true an emblem of the cause of liberty and freedom as you-are now."

This statement applies only to the true vetebrMe fish and does not Include all marine fauna.» "f _Yellow Water Lily Food The Klamath Indians used to ntlllM the seeds of the common yellow water lily for food. The squaws would go out to the lily patches in canoes to gather the seed pods. One method they used to extract the seeds from the pods was to bury the pods in holes in the ground and let them stay there until they fermented into a mucilaginous mass from which the seeds could be freed by washing. The seeds were then used as meal or parched whole. ure. Trouble developed however, when the land was rented to a neighbor, John Paulson, he said. McCarthy is charged with having chased Paulson from the farm repeatedly when the latter attempted to work the land. I Roy Kirk, Chicago, a farmer Wau-| conda young man, was critically in- j jured Wednesday, May 10, when a, truck he was cranking suddenly lunged forward, striking him and breaking the, right leg belowf the knee and badly crushing the left ankle. The accident occurred in Chicago when Kirk was attempting to start a truck owned by the firm by which he is employed. Mr. Kirk in all probability saved his life when he leaped upon a nearby platform just as the truck started forward. Had he not made this quick move his body would have been crushed.
