PRODUCTS OF SOUTH

Chattanooga, Tenn., June 6.?Ful-j
ly sixty staple commodities produced j
in the South are wanted in Mexico in j
quantities while many other articles'
mannfaptnrpd in thp South could he I
marketed in Mexico at a profit, says'
E. D. Stratton, South American agent;
for the Southern Railway system and
the Mobile & Ohio railroad, who has;
just returned to his office in Chatta-j
nooga from a trip through the South-!
ern republic during which he spent1
several days in each of the larger j
cities and gathered a large fund of
information as to conditions prevail-;
ing generally throughout the country, j
"European competition in Mexico
is growing stronger daily," says Mr.'
Stratton, "and shrewd business men J
' predict that the United States will
lost a large percentage of the Mexican
trade unless its business men |
make a more determined effort to j
hold their present advantage. During;
the past two years the United States}
has held 95 per cent of the total;

. THE MOST DISTANT
THING KNOWN !
j
By Garrett P. Serviss
The farthest thing that tne asirono-i
mers have been able to reach, up to
:he present time, is a lone globular
star-cluster, called in the astronomical
catalogues N. G. C. 7006 ,and situated
in the little constellation Delphinus
(the Dolphin). This remotest!
outpost of the realm of light, station-j
ed on the utmost verge of the abyss f
of illimitable darkness that seems to j
surround the system of the stars, ap- j
pears a tiny misty dot in the tele- J
scope; but there are other still tinier
dots in the sky and nothing in the
aspect of N. G. C. 7006 would lead
the observer to suspect the tremendous
truth that in looking at it his
avro -rocfc nnnn thp vprv Ultima Thule
VJ v *vwvv v" *r
of the material universe.
This truth stands evident when the'
parallax of N. G. C. 7006 is calculat-!
ed. The parallax comes out as
0.000015, or 15-1,000,000 of a-second
of arc, which corresponds with a dis-,
tance of 67,000 parses or 219,000.
light-years. Put into miles this be-;
comes 1,273 quadrillions or 1,273;
thousand millions of millions! That:
is 13,688 million times as great as;
the distance betwen the earth and the,
sun. >
Since, as shown above, it would J
take light 219,000 years to travel,
from N. G. C. to us, it is plain that we
see that cluster of distant stars by
light that started from them 219,000!
years ago, or 213,000 years before
the traditional date of Adam, and
i
at least four times as long as the.
time when the retreat of the great,
ice sheet of the glacial period left:
the northern hemisphere of the earth
open to the development of the human
race.
When Julius Caesar conjured
Gaul that light from N. G. C. 7006
was still 11,560 millions of millions
of miles from the earth, or about
462 times as far away as the star
Alpha Centouri, although it had al
ready completed more than 99-100ths;
of its journey from that uttermost'
can\pfire of sentinel suns kept burn-J
ing on the outermost verge of the:
starry universe.
But these sentinels are worthy ofj
their great trust and task. They arc\
no petty luminaries. Their fires, soj
faint appearing at our immense dis-j
tance, blaze gigantic on the dark
frontier to watching eyes that lurk
in the outer gloom of the deserts of;
space.
The faintest of that company of
stellar guards are a hundred times;
as bright as our sun, and the greater;
ones are at least sixteen times brighter
yet. They belong to a class of
solar organizations?the globular
clusters?composed altogether of
giants. And a strange fact is that, i
as a rule, these lone assemblages!
of mighty suns are to be found only!
in the remoter parts of the visible,
or photographable, universe. It is [
as if the greatest light units of the j
universe, like tfte strongest Datrai-;
ions, were kept near the borders.
It *is very interesting to take aj
perspective, or depth-view, of the,
stellar system as modern discoveries;
disclose it.
The farthest edge of the solar sys-1
tem is less than 3,000 million miles'
away. The nearest star, Alpha Cen-'
tauri, is 25,000,000 million miles'
- r
away. The stars in the beautiful
group of the Hyades are 760,000.000
million miles away. The Great Nebula
of Orion is 3,600.000.000 million!
miles away. The most distant stars!
visible to the naked eye are 19,000,-j
000,000 miles away. The great J
globular star cluster in Centaurus
^ ?^ iU/\pia f *?aii r\e
(one ox tne neartfsi/ ui wusc uvu^oi
of giants) is 123,500,000,000 million J
miles away. The front-line sentinel I
i
stars of X. G. C. 700(> are 1.27o,-|la
000,000,000 million miles away. ! he
It may be?that remains to be 01
seen?that the enormous 100-inch , 01
telescope now in operation on the m
summit of Mount Wilson in Oali- m
fornia, under the direction of some
- - c ... .
ot the ioremost or me worm ?
tronomers, will before lone: reveal j
the existence of objects still more ! in
remote than X. G. C. TOOG. Or it;
I
may be that new methods of ascer- F.
taining the distances of celestial objects
will show that things that have;
long been within the range of vision,!
but whose real remoteness has not: \V
hitherto been suspected, are, in fact, w
more distant even than X. G. C. 700G. pr
- - ? i . m
It is more probable, however, tnat it i
things yet farther away are discover- s<i
ed they will be objects never before i pi
glimpsed for lack of telescopic power. Pi
The tendency of thought anions m
the majority of astroniomers today is!
to regard everything that the tele- p!
scope or photography reveals as be-.^5
ing, in one way or another, a part! tfc
of a single svstem which we call the cvisible
universe.
Of course, as instruments and
methods of research improve, the , F
visible umniverse expands?not j Si
really, but for us. But the convic- jat
tion is growing that there is some-10^
where a real limit to the visible uni- j th
verse, and, cxcept in certain direc- P'
tions, astronomical exploration seems '
to have nearly, or quite, attained j
that limit. }
But when that limit shall have un-, al
--x_* ? Li., i 11 r>(
questionably htu iwhh'u?v?nc?-vj *
then? What is outside in the blank v<
darkness? How far does that darkness
extend? What lies beyond it,
if it has another shore. Will there
ever be a Columbus of space to dis- ^
cover a new starry continent in the cc
Ocean of Infinity? What little things sv
we arc! And yet how mighty, too. a^:
is the mind! Made in the image of Pl
God? Why not? For if not, how
do we even think of these things. *r

AIR PLIGHT RESTORES e>"

Denver, May 28.?Miss E. Kemper
of North Bend, Neb., has had her sn

The experiment with Miss Kemper th
was the first of the kind ever made in

value of the air flights for loss of lr

cases in other parts of the country, so

Unanswered Conundrum
At Wednesdays' Rotary luncheon
otarian Ralph Baker propounded a
irmndmm. which is. as vet. unan
vered. and is probably unanswer)lc.
Howbeit, it is passed on to the
iblic, with the hope that a solution
the thing: might be forthcoming"!
om some source:
"If a man had Zach ^Vright's mon,
George Cromer's brains, Red
hnson's bull, Ben Dorrity's deterination,
Ernest Summer's figure,
irle Babb's voice, Harry Dominick's

ayes' ills, Doug Weeks' piils, ueorge
immer's bills, Hal Kohn's energy,
d Derrick's appetite and Jim's
Don-shinc, what kind of a Rotarian
)uld he be?''
One Rotarian suggests that the an-er
is "Lad Eskridge," while another
els sure that it is "John Kinard."
>tarian Hal P^ohn says that he would
"sonic man." but fails to name the
3tarian. Well, after all, perhaps
ey arc all correct.
