Astronomer of Vermont - Has Telescope in Cave Going underground to look at the heavens may séem like a strange anomaly; yet that is the method used by James Hartness, former governor of Yermont, noted inventor and manufac turer and amateur astronomer,

On his hillside estate at Springfield, Vt., Mr, Hartness has constructed the strangest astronomical observatory in the world—a subterranean cave of concrete, containing rooms fitted up as a laboratory, office, study and re tiring and storage rooms, says the Kansas City Times. Conpecting with his home by a 200-foot tunnel, the cave endggwith the observation chamber, a concrete structure from which juts a cast-iron revolving turret that holds the telescope. -

This observatory, says Popular Sclence Monthly, is little short of revolutlonary from the standpoint of the orthodox astronomer. In fact, astronomers and makers of astronomical instruments, when they saw Mr. Hartness’ plans, assured him that his observatory would be a failure, that air currents rising from his heated turret would ebscure the skles from the eye of the telescope. But Mr. Hartness, father of more than one hundred important inventions, bullt the observatory as hé planned and it has proved successful, ,

“When I first took up astronomy,” says Mr. Hartness, “I found there were certain inconveniences connected with looking through the telescope I had mounted on my lawn. In the warm weather there were mosquitoes. In the fall and winter the cold winds chilled me to the bones. So I bullt my underground laboratory for selfprotection, and I found I was helped rather than hampered by my lack of technical knowledge of approved methods?

Mah Jong Dermatitis Is the Newest Disease Mah jong dermatitis is the latest thing in diseases. Devotees of the oriental game are given some facts concerning the digease—an irritation of the skin, according to Hygeia. , Mah jong cases are varnished freely with Japanese lacquer, says the health journal, and in some instances the lacquer i 9 soft and sticky. It has been scientifically proved that this improperly dried lacquer causes the skin disease which has been afilicting some of the players of the game. Hundreds of thousands of mah jong sets are now in use in the United States, and only. a few cases of the disease have been reported, but now that physicians are on the lookout f‘?}, the disease others will probably be brought to light. . :

To prevent any possibility of the disease it will be necessary to see that the lacquer has been well applied and thoroughly dried before the boxes are shipped. , Not all, of course, are sensitive to the disease in an equal degree. Treatment for it is not difficult. : : Those who are epecially sensitive to the lacquer will have to be content with dominoes, rthum or auction bridge, says the article. o - Making Largest Carillon What will be the world’s largest carillon is being made in England for New York, where it will be Installed in the tower of Park Avenue church by Johyn D. Rockefeller, Jr., in memory of his mother. It is a tribute to British skill and workmanship that, in spite of keen International competition, the contract for this carillon was secured by a well-known firm of Croydon bellmakers. The carillon will number fifty-three bells whose total weight, without the framework, will be over fifty tons. The largest carillon up to now has been that at Malines, in Belgium. ; Shaker Village for Sale

The Shaker village on Lake Macomy at Enfleld, N. H. is for sale. Seven white-haired survivors of the original colony have moved to Canterbury and settled under the leadership of another dwindling community of Shaker folk. The correct name of the Shakers is ‘“The United Soclety of True Believers in Christ’s Second Appearance.” * The name ‘“Shaker” was derived from a pecullar ceremonial dance in which' the dancers shake their shoulders. Scarcely Flattering ‘They had Jjust renewed thelr acquaintance after he had been abroad for some years. “Upon my word, Miss Hawkins,” he said, “I should hardly have known you, you have altered so much.” “For better or worse?’ she asked. “Ah, my dear girl,” he replied, gallantly, “you could only change for the better.” i - No Picnic for Her ' - A woman with five children entered a car. She busied herself seating them. A benevolent old gentleman rose and gave her his seat. “Are those all your -children, madam?”’ he asked, “or is it a plcnic? “They're all mine’ snapped the woman, “and it's no pienjic,”

That Ended It Two women were quarreling about ages. At last, as if to end the dispute, one of them turned away and sald in a very conclliatory tone: : “Let us not quarrel any more, I, at least, have not the heart to do it.. I never knew who my mother was! She deserted me when I was a baby, 1 and who knows but that you may have been that heartless parent?”’ Ligonier Day Elkhart couniy falr, Thursday Sept, 11th.

Making Great Improvement.

Whenm’ changes now being made at the intersection of Union street and Lincoln Way South are completed there wil Ibe no excuse for accidents. The council committee on streets and alleys headed by George Hostetter took the matter of improvement in charge and have rounded the corners by acquiring additional ground, greatly enlarging the turns. If automobile drivers will now exercise common judgment and observe the “Stop” sign there need be no further accidents at the dangerous corner.

THE LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA

| WHY BANKS? o E LESSON XI > | | By J. H. PUELICHER, Chairman ' Public Education Commission, American Bankers Association. To be favorably known at a bank is a business advantage. Banks aim to deal with homest people only. How does one become known _ at a bankSfor purposes of doing business with it? “Owe must be identified,” says the banker. T IDENTIFICATION=More than presenting oneself v at a bank and saying “I am John Smith.” S Some ome kmown to the bamker mmust say, for BT . instance, “This is John Smith. He is honest eeigits and dependable.” Then the bank will do busie Why cannot a bank do business with an um- . - identified person? Because, if an unknown man gets money from a banker on a check payable to J. H. Puelicher L yoim Smith” and he be not the particular “John - , Smith” entitled to cash that check, the bank would probably lose the money. To be known at a bank is a business necessity. . :

ON INVESTING THE LEGACY “I really wish 1 could understard investments, Aunt Emmy,”’ said Jane. “Since we received that legacy I have tried to get some money sense into my head. The financial pages in the papers are just a jumble of words to me. 1 can’t make out the difference between stocks and bomds nor for the life of me see what makes one thing an investment and amother a speculation.”"

Aunt Emmy langhed. *“Lots of people puzzle over those things, my dear. But your first problem is. simpie enough,” she said. “Suppose you buy a bond, a $lO6O Liberty Bond. What you really do is to lend Uncle Sam $lOO on his promise to pay that money back on a given date and to pay you a specified sum each year—that is, interest—for the use of your money. If your $lOO bomd pays four and a quarter per cent you get four dollars and a quarter every year you bold it until it reaches matnrity—that is the date when the time of your loan is up and Uncle Sam returns your money. “When a bond reaches maturity it should -be turped over to your bank for collection, because after maturity you will get no more interest on the money invesSted. Therefore when a bond matures take it to your bank, have the money placed to yoeur account and consult your banker about

“Of course-all bonds are not good securities. If you buy the bends of a sound government or of a sound cor poration you are safe. Bonds vary in price, even good ones, according to conditions. Unless you really know about the coamdition of the concern or government offering bonds do not bay them without consulting your bankers. ;

© “When you buy stocks you buy a share of a buxiness. Corporations issue stocks as well as notes and bonds, but governments omly issue bends or notes. You do not get any promise that your momney will be paid back when you buy stock. To get your money back you have to find a buyer for your stock. If the business prospers. you participate in the profits according to the amount of stock you hold. If the business suffers losses you share the loss with the rest of the stockholders. So again it is net wise to buy stock in a company you do not; know all about unless you first get pour bamker’s advice.” “Thanks, Aunt Emmy. 1 think I ‘know the difference between stocks and bonds now,” Jame said. “If you buy stock you buy a share of a business and take your chances with that business for smeeess or loss. If you buy a bond you really don’t buy at all, only get a sert of receipt for your money and proneise that you will get it back at a givem thme and receive interest meanwhike ” .

“Yes—but remember the promise behind a bond i 8 good only if the government or the corporation issuing the bond is good,” said Aunt Emmy. “Next time you come I'll tell you more about money and finance.”—ANNE B.
