Or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a crusade for extending HE United States government is now at work upon one of the most ambitious and, by the by, one of the most interesting projects it has ever undertaken. It is not nothing more for moving the "corn belt." Or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a crusade for extending the "corn belt," for there is no desire to interfere with the growing of our greatest agricultural staple in that broad section of the country where corn has long been the principal standby of the farmer. The new plan of the department of agriculture—for of course, the branch of our government machinery that charge of this new activity—is simply in effect to make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before. Although all the world has been gasping in astonishment these many years past at the bumper crops of corn this country turns out each year, the experts of the government some time since came to the conclusion that great as was the national corn yield it was not as big as it ought to be. Furthermore, they thought they foresaw a time when, with our rapidly growing population, the corn crop would not be any too big for our own American appetite and, of course, if that came to pass, we would lose more or less of our foreign trade, for a vast quantity of Yankee corn products now find their way to dinner tables overseas. On the theory of a stitch in time the agricultural sharps proceeded to get busy over this impending problem. First, we set about increasing the yield of corn acre and latterly they have entered upon the own more significant mission of extending corn growing area. As our readers are aware most of the corn crop has been grown heretofore in the middle UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEMONSTRATION OF ALLIANCE SUPPORT OF THE OLD JOE STONE BROUGHAIR SMALLEST AND YOUNGEST OF CHRIADWOMS west—in states such as Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska. But the government experts scouting around soon came to the conclusion that as good or better corn than America had ever known could be raised in prolific quantity in the south if only the people south of Mason and Dixon's line could be aroused to the pos- sibilities lying dormant at their doors. Waking up these southern farmers to their neglected opportunities is the present work of one of the most efficient organizations in Uncle Sam's agricultural corps. It was nothing short of an inspiration that the experts hit upon the plan of proving that their corn "fairy tales" could come true through the medium of the farmer boys of the south. The lads were enlisted in this country wide "demonstration work" and them they have lately been giving their father's objects and some more. That is more, many of the fathers have taken the heart and after seeing with their own eyes what phenomenal yields can be made if corn be cultivated as the "book chaps" at the agricultural department prescribe they have become converts to the new ideas and have announced that henceforth they will cultivate corn the way their sons have been doing these past few months. It will mean only a fraction more time and work it means production doubled or trebled or quadrupled. Of course the government gave instructions to these lads as to how to till the soil in the most advenious manner, but the enthusiasm resulted in corn harvests that have made the whole world sit up and take notice was inspired by competitive contests for the winners in which all sorts of prizes were offered—township prizes, village prizes, county prizes, state prizes, and goodness knows what, all in the way of trophies culminating in each state in a "grand prize" in the form of a sightseeing trip to Washington, all expenses paid, for one boy. Of course, the government did not offer these prizes. Uncle Sam has no money available for such purposes, but the department of agriculture engineered the whole scheme and got the public-spirited citizens of more than a dozen states so interested that they put up the prizes mentioned. Individuals such as bankers and movers and farmers, small farmers, trust and county superintendents of education, chambers of commerce, etc., contributed to the list of prizes which in the grand total footed up to more than $40,000 This whole movement, alike to other similar educational crusades, has been under the direction of the division of farmers' co-operative demonstration work of the department of agriculture. This work has brought about systematic effort on the part of the youthful corn growers by organizing what AMERICAS MOST ECONOMIC LORGROWER STEVE HENRY OF LOUISIANA are known as corn clubs. There are great numbers of township clubs all over the land—the township being the standard unit of organization and there are county clubs in about 600 different counties. Circulars of instruction, prepared by Dr. S. A. Knapp, the government expert, who is the Solomon of this movement, are prepared and sent several times during the year to each individual boy who is enrolled in this work. Seed selection and the preparation of the soil are taken up first in these courses of instruction by mail (supplemented by the advice of the field workers of the department who are most actively traveling to supervise and give practical instruction.) All the boys who won the biggest prizes paid very careful attention to the instructions on this score and plowed their acres from eight to sixteen inches deep and thoroughly pulverized their seed beds. Even more careful advice is given the boys on the very vital subject of fertilization and one reason why so many of these lads have at the first go off gotten better corn crops than their fathers have ever been able to produce with all their experience back of them is that the youngsters have none of the contempt of the old fogy for plowing and have been able to plow but eager to master a general knowledge of rye gen, potash, phosphorus, etc., as agricultural aids and the effect of leaves, wood mold, barnyard manure, etc. The whole plan of computing and comparing yields in this country-wide corn-growing competition is done in the most systematic and business-like manner. With swarms of keenly interested boys watching each other's crops like hawks there is not much opportunity for deception of any kind, but in addition to this insurance of publicity of methods and yields the department of agriculture has its own officers in the field all over the country and very likely any suspicious reports just as the field workers of the United States census have been probing into the enumeration in any town or city that seemed to show an undue increase in population since the last census. Be it said to the credit of the boy corn growers that almost none of them have fallen under suspicion on any score. In making up the records of the young corn growers and awarding the prizes that are offered the government officials take into consideration other things than the mere crop yield, regardless of cost of cultivation and every other factor. Indeed, in making awards there are considered in addition to yield, the cost per bushel, the best ten ears of corn raised and the written history of the crop. The boy who raised it. Not all the boys who born the boy are personally congratulated by President Taft in the White House at Washington made the largest yields in their states. The economical side was aways taken into consideration in giving out the prizes and in apportioning the diplomas of merit which Secretary Wilson personally presented to the boys who called on him at Washington. The boys who have won up to Uncle Sam's champion corn growers in every instance "made good" by exhibiting their prize products at their respective county fairs where their neighbors are also exhibiting their products accompanied by the new method of filling in many counties the distribution of the county prizes for corn growing was made a red-letter event this past autumn and as many as 1,000 to 1,500 persons have assembled at a county seat THE APPEAL. are known as corn clubs. There are great numbers of township clubs all over the land—the township being the to see prizes awarded to lads who are pointing the way to increased averages of corn production in the south, and incidentally to a partial solution of the increased cost of living. And no old-time farmer can sneer that the showings made in this twentieth-century corn growing are spurs of no practical significance. On the contrary the government officials have applied modi bookkeeping methods to the business side of the farm, and the reported costs of production can be accepted. The yields made during the past season by these young corn growers have been truly astonishing and some of them are almost past the belief of farmers who have been getting an average of, say, 32 to 40 bushels of corn per acre in choice corn country in the middle west. In one Mississippi county 48 boys averaged 32 bushels per acre. In one South Carolina county 20 boys averaged 1,700 bushels of corn on 20 acres. In another in that same state 142 boys averaged 62 bushels of corn on 1,000 made $1,000 from a single acre of corn. Herry Moore of Winnebago, S. C., the champion corn grower of the world, got the amazing yield of 228 bushels to the acre. Steve Henry of Louisiana carried off the highest honors for economical farming, producing on his acre nearly 140 bushels at a cost of only 13 cents per bushel. Joe Stone of Georgia, youngest and smallest of the national winners, is only eleven years of age, but he produced 16 bushels to the acre at a cost of 29 cents per bushel in the season the scope of the corn-growing competition extended and the government may also strive to get the country girls of the United States into a similar competition, only, of course, it will not be corn growing but vegetable gardening with canning and preserving as a "side line." Those Church Suppers! Church sales, dinners, teas and the like are not only means for promoting social enjoyment and incidentally of replenishing the treasuries of the organizations which provide them. These functions serve a real and valuable economic purpose, as is indicated by the lady whom Edna K. Wooley quotes in the Toledo Blade. This lady, weary of the work of providing three meals a day for her family, consisting of herself, her husband and her daughter, finds a new joy in living at this time of year, and explains why: Last night we went to a roast beef dinner. You are going to a Methodist progressive supper. My wife has hates those progressive suppers, because we start with soup at the church, you know, then we start for the meat course and finish up at some other house for the dessert. He says when he sits down, meal he likes to finish the job on the spot, instead of getting up every little while, putting on his hat and coat and galloping out into the cold and cruel world to resume his hats at some other stand. But I think it’s fun. It’s a blessed change. Tomorrow night we go to a Presbyterian church supper. That’s only 25 cents, too, and I don’t see how they do it for the money. The next one after that is an Episcopal turkey supper, and the next is also a turkey supper at the Unitarian church. Then come the Disciple and Congregational church, and by that time you’ll see my cheeks sticking with rich living. What would we poor home cooks do if it wasn’t for the church suppers? They give us from the eternal routine of planning and cooking meals. Nobody that hasn’t tried that three-meal-a-day business knows what a grind it gets to be. I don’t believe there’s a man on earth would stand for it.

Defective Page The World's Wonders STRANGE THINGS FOUND IN VARIOUS PORTIONS OF THE EARTH Making a Giant's Tumble Safe In the great sequoia forests of the west the work of the wood-cutters is not without its peril and they must take precautions to see that the immense redwoods that are felled tumble in the right direction. For this purpose there has been designed the simple apparatus for "alighting" that is shown in the illustration. On the south shore of Long Island, N. Y., near the neapolitan Napeague life-saving station, half hidden from view by the sand dunes that have been built up about it by the gales that have swept the coast during the past half-hundred years, stands an abandoned life-saving station, the only one of its type in existence, and the first was erected by the national government. In 1845 the Humane Society of Massachusetts, which may be considered the parent of the United Life-saving service, had 18 stations on the Massachusetts coast equipped with boats and mortars for throwing lines to stranded vessels, in addition to numerous huts or houses of refuge at exposed points. Congress finally was action and a bill appropriating $500 life-saving purposes was passed March 18, 1847. In 1848 a second appropriation $500 was made. Again in 1849 the sum of $20,000 was appropriated and eight stations were built on the coast of Long Island, N. Y., that at Napeague being one of the number and the only one of the original sixteen, so called, now in existence. The stations were plain houses 42 feet long, 18 feet wide, of two stories and four rooms. One lower room was used by the crew, which later manned each station, as a mess room. The other contained the life boat and additional apparatus used at shipwrecks. One of the rooms rooms was used as a chamber, the other The old station that still stands near Napeague was one of the first to be manned by a crew of regular surfmen. It is in a fairly good state of preservation because it was used until a comparatively short time ago as the home of the coast guards. Visitors to the Napeague life-saving station take great pleasure in visiting the old station which is now used as a storehouse. The whirling sands that are driven against it by the furious gales that sweep the coast of Long Island have worn the shingles down to a thickness not much greater than paper, but the oak timbers are sound. The building seems destined to last for many years, a relic of the first days of the United States life-saving service. FRENCHMAN SOLVES PROBLEM The problem of synchronizing the cinematograph with the phonograph, which has been for a long time before the inventors of two hemispheres, and which Thomas A. Edison has been working over without success, so far as the public knows, for the last 15 years, has been solved, it is claimed, by M. Gaumont, a Frenchman and a memoirist of the Sciences. At a session of the Academy Gaumont presented his apparatus, which he calls "the talking cinematograph." The machine in the darkened hall of the academy delivered a lecture by M. d'Arsonval. On the screen the noted author was shown delivering his lecture, while the phonograph accompanied accurately with the spoken part. M. d'Arsonval himself sat in the audience, amazed at the illusion, the correspondence between the phonograph and gesture of the pictures was exact. The cinematograph taking machine has many times been promised, and One of Burma's Great Shrines Of the hundreds of temples in Burma, that of Thapinyu is the second in size and one of the finest shrines in the country. It dates from about the year 1100, is a square pyramidal building of great beauty, rather severe in its lines, and is two hundred feet in height and perfect in its proportions. The Thapinyu has but one shrine, in which a huge glided Buddha sits in conventional attitude. This temple is built of burnt brick covered with stucco, no stone being used, and in its solid construction and tastful design contrasts strongly with the filmsy atrocities erected there in the present day. many times the announcement has been made that it had been perfected. The problem, however, of keeping the phonograph from running ahead of or behind the moving pictures has until now proved an inimountable one. And this concordance of the dual work of the instrument was not the only nor even the greatest difficulty. her hands seemed to provide all that was necessary to complete the hatching, and before her arrival at Edinburgh she had a healthy-looking chicken in each pocket. MAGPIES OF SENEGAMBIA After it was found that the phonograph and cinematograph could be made to synchronize it was discovered that there were two other problems. One was that when a picture subject with its sound accompaniment was being recorded the phonograph could not receive the sound clearly at the distance from it at which it was necessary to set the picture machine to record. The puzzle has been to produce the necessary increase in the volume of sound to be given out by the phonograph, as that instrument, until the appearance of M. Gaumont's invention, has not had sufficient carrying power to make it satisfactory and completely intelligible in a large auditorium. CHICKS HATCHED IN POCKET It is not every day that chickens are hatched in the train and in a lady's pocket. This novel experience has befallen a Kirkcaday (Scotland) lady. She had arranged to go with a friend to Edinburgh and after dressing herself and finding she had still a few minutes to spare before train time, she decided to have a look at two eggs which ought to have hatched out the day before. Proceeding to the garden she found the eggs still unhatched and she took the eggs undertitle, she took out the eggs one in each pocket of her ulcer, with a view of taking them to the house. On reaching the door she found her neighbor waiting for her with the information that it would take them all their time to catch the train. The lady accordingly ran into the house for her umbrella, and, forgetting all about the eggs, proceeded with all haste to the station. On approaching the ticket office she put her hand in her pocket to get her purse, when she noticed that the eggs had to leave the eggs behind, and being afraid that they might get broken and spill her dress, she throughout the journey sat with a hand in each pocket holding the eggs.

A common feature in the villages of Senegambia is the crowd of black magpies which frequent the neighborhood of the huts and subsist largely on the parasites which infest the sheep. The latter are often irritated into flight by their too persistent attentions, for the birds sit on their backs, and though no doubt in search of ticks and other creatures, they are not shown a peck at any point, are which the unfortunate sheep is most liable to have. It is interesting to watch these birds mounted on the sheep's backs, several at a time, resisting all attempts to dislodge them. HURT DOG CALLS ON DOCTOR Exceptional sagacity on the part of a dog was shown recently by a bull terrier named Tobe, owned by Henry Hotchkiss of Topeka, Kan. Tobe loves a fight, and has had to be treated several times by the veterinary surgeon as a result of his fondness for a scrap. The other week he was again in trouble, and retired from the battle with the dog. Instead, he moved to home. Tobe limped straight to the establishment of the dog physician, who recognized him as an old patient; and at once attended to the wounded limb. As a result the intelligent animal is now making good progress, with its legs in splints. STOPPED HIS OWN FUNERAL An eerie and extraordinary affair occurred recently at Yaculapalm, Mexico, during the course of the nurial services of a miner named Regino Campo, who had been injured in an accident in one of the mines, and pronounced dead. To the horror and consternation of the burghers the "dead" accident in his house was about to read the prayers for the dead. He protested loudly, stopped the funeral ceremony, and refused to be buried. CHILD'S STRANGE ADVENTURE A child, aged two and a half years, was found by two boys one day recently in the middle of one of the main thoroughfares in Market Drayton, Eng. It was afterwards ascertained that the child had fallen from a trap without the knowledge of the parents, named Shaw, who were returning home. They had traveled six miles before they discovered that the infant was missing. The child was well wrapped up and had not received any injury. HAVE YOU READ THE APPALA?

Great credit is due the slavic citizens of Chicago for their protest to the Union League Club against the presence of Count Apponyi at the Peace Dinner on Washington's birthday Count Apponyi had already declined the invitation on the ground of previous engagements and for this reason the club escaped the embarrassing necessity of deciding whether to withdraw it. It is asserted by those who joined in the protest that Apponyi represents the worst form of tyranny in the Hungarian government and that he is not an exponent of universal peace. The protestants who number 500,000 claim ABRAHAM LINCOLN. THE RIGHTS OF THE HUMAN MEMBER that Apponyi was responsible for the masacre of innocent people, who were slaughtered while he was in office and that "He is known in all the world as the representative of the Hungarian government system, which means a continual chain of political, national and social crimes perperated against the Slovaks and other non-Hungarian nations in Hungary." It is right that the Slovaks should protest against their arch enemy. It is always right to protest against wrongs. The Afro-Americans in this country suffer many wrongs because they sit silent when a protest should be made. It is very seldom that an Afro-American gets any substantial benefits from any of the many laws on the statute boks, if it is possible, by any subterfuge, trick scheme, construction, etc., to deprive him of it. But at last there seems to have been a law passed which will redound to the benefit of the sleeping car porters in case of accident. The Employer's Liability Act of 1908, according to the ruling of Justice Anderson of the Circuit Court of Washington, D.C., while it was not framed to benefit the Afro-American, will do so despite the release exempting the railroads and Pullman company from liability which the porter must sign before he can go to work. In the case of George R. Robinson against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company he has won his suit for $15,000 damages for permanent injuries sustained in a rear-end collision April. 10, in West Virginia. Good enough! THE DEADLY TYPEWRITER. The Washington Post reveals the startling fact that the typewriter deserves a place among the death-dealing inventions of the 19th century. The facts in the case are these: A New Jersey firm sent a typewriter communication in reference to a business transaction to a Kentucky mountaineer. The Kentuckian responded as follows: Now I don't want no more of yore printed letters. I wont stand sich from no house. I am fifty-six years ole the last of next coming January and the furst man has got to put my back on the ground yit. I may not have as much larning in grammar as you got but I can whip you or enjoy other dam yanky that wants to try riten me a printed letter. Yours truly. If that "Kaintuckian" lived in Tennessee he would have a poor show of ever getting on a jury; still owners of typewriters had better beware of him as it is reported that he always totes a pistol. Irish are making a fight against the comic post cards in connection with St. Patrick's day. The Ancient Order of Hibernians have petitioned the Postmaster General to prevent the objectionable matter from going through the mails. The Irish are right. There is no reason on earth why these scurrilous cards which reflect upon the Irish people should be transported in the United States' mails. All honor to people who so vigorously protested against the insults offered to their race. This matter of objectionable post cards ought to be looked into by the Afro-Americans, for there are now in circulation many hideous caricatures of race. Somebody ought to take hold of the matter and make some noise about it. No wrongs are ever righted except by protest. Kick! Kick!! Kick!!! CAPITAL CAUCASIAN CHRISTIANITY. The Washington Herald, in a recent issue, has a long-winded editorial on the goodness of the people of the Capital City and among other things says that the lives of the residents are in keeping with the highest tenets of Christianity. This may be in some respects, but what the color-line is reached the Caucasians of Washington do not follow the tenets of the meek and lowly Nazarene. In no city in the United States is there more bitter race hatred, and there is less reason for it than in many other places. While there are many bad Afro-Americans, the percentage of intelligence, refinement and wealth is large, but this seems to infuriate the alleged Caucasian Christians and cause them to hate their Afro-American brethren the more bitterly. The Caucasian hypocrisy has been strikingly shown on several occasions within the past year. In one fashionable street, there is a block containing many fine residences. Among them, however, are a few shacks occupied by low-grade Afro-Americans, but the aristocratic whites and lowly blacks have lived in harmony for many years. Last year a wealthy Afro-American, with an income of about $5,000 per annum, purchased one of the fine houses and moved into it. The gentleman is a man of the highest character, his wife is a lady of refinement, a graduate of one of the leading American universities and also a graduate of a famous German conservatory of music, in fact the entire family is infinitely superior in every respect to any white family in the block, but the Caucasian Christians became indignant at what they called a "Negro invasion," and began to move away one by one and now they have all gone, many who owned their own home having sacrificed them to away from Afro-American Christians. And by the way, it was a committee of Washington Christians which decreed that no Afro-Americans should be permitted to take part in the Sunday school parade in that city last year. Few Caucasian Christians live up to the highest tenets of Christianity when the color-line is reached. # MAKES THE MUSIC MELLOWER Tones Strained Through Gas-Filled Pipe Subdued—Particularly Adapted to Phonographs. For years violinists have been using rosin on their bows to prevent squeaking. It took a long while for some genius to apply the same principle to wind instruments, but at last it has been done by a New York man, and the apparatus here shown is the result. The process is particularly adaptable to phonographs. A volatile solution of resinous materials is stored in a tank connected with the horn, which describes a complete circle, so that the tones of the phonograph proper must filter through a great quantity of the vapor before it reaches the ear. The vapor is of a nonaqueous nature, so that it will not rust in the pipe, but is heavy enough to "strain" the music, as it were, and make the tones much mellower than those which Makes Music Mellower. are brayed forth from the ordinary horn. This process is also said to reduce the vibration caused by the sound waves in the horn, and the tones float out on the air. WIND SHIELD IS ADJUSTABLE Can Be Arranged to Protect Face Without Completely Blocking Cool, Refreshing Air. An automobile wind shield that can be adjusted so as to protect the face without completely blocking the draft Improved Wind-Shield. which is so pleasant in warm weather has been designed by a Philadelphia inventor. It consists of two portions, the upper being adjustable to any angle, while the lower is rigid, says the Popular Mechanics. When adjusted as shown in the illustration, it effectively shields the faces of the occupants from the wind and flying particles, yet a cooling breeze is permitted to pass between the two sections. BIPLANE BUILT BY A WOMAN Miss Todd of New York Realizes Ambition After Years of Effort— Machine is Success. After years of effort Miss Lillian E. Todd, of New York, realized her ambition when she had the pleasure of seeing a bibane, the work of her hands, fly across the Garden City aviation field, says the Racine Journal. After having the machine built numberless times Miss Todd, about four months ago, announced that she had a bibane which she thought would fly. She then tried to get an engine, but met with repeated defeat, as the engines which she tried were not satisfactory. Finally she secured a motor that was declared satisfactory. A good-sized crowd was present to witness the first attempt to fly the bibane. D. Masson was the aviator. He ran the machine across the ground, then went into the air for 20 feet and made a turn at the far end, returning to the starting place, where he was enthusiastically received by Miss Todd and the crowd also. The upper planes of the biplane are shaped somewhat like a bird's wing when in flight, while the lower planes are shaped more like the chassis is about five feet high. An. Electric Scarcrow So familiar have electric bells become to most of us that even their sound at unexpected times or in unusual places rarely startle us. Not so with birds, to whom the sudden ringing of a bell on a tree or a post means something far more uncanny than any scarecrow flapping in the wind. Knowing this, the head master of an Austrian school has patented an electric scarecrow system in which a clock makes the connections at irregular intervals to electric bells scattered over the orchard. This unexpected ringing of the bells, now here, now there, is said to be quite effective in driving off the birds. Minute Jellyfish. In the northern seas there exists an extremely minute jellyfish, termed Lizzie Koelliker, which are so transparent that a single individual can scarcely be seen in clear water, and so small that a "wine glass of water can contain 3,000 of them." Yet this jellyfish occurs in such numbers off the coast of Greenland that the sea is at times tinged brown by its presence. HEAD REST FOR BATH TUBS Hooks Arranged Over End of Receptacle Affords Comfortable Support—Made of Wire. While bath tubs are not designed to be slept in, people have been known to take naps therein, sometimes with fatal results. For the most part, however, they have been report- Head Rest for Bath Tubs. ed as rather uncomfortable for that purpose. A California man has come to the rescue of those who like to take their ease in the bath by providing a head rest for the tub. This head rest is made of a piece of heavy wire bent and twisted about so as to form a spring support for the back of the head and leaving hooks by which the device may be hooked over the end of the tub. Often persons taking a bath for the stimulation given their tired bodies by the hot water wish to lie at ease, but have no place to put their head but the cold enamel of the tub. The rest here described solves this problem and shows that modern genius has caught up with ancient Rome at last. MODERN BALLOON GAS BAGS Made of Cotton Fabric Coated With India Rubber to Assure Perfect Impermeability. The gas bags of modern balloons are made of a cotton fabric coated with India rubber in the most careful manner. In order to assure perfect impermeability without sacrificing lightness. For all large balloons, and especially for dirigibles, two layers of cloth are superposed and cemented together. The outer skin is covered with India rubber on one side only, but the inner skin is coated on both sides. German balloons the inner canvas is cut straight and the outer canvas is cut blas. In this construction, gores with angles of 45 degrees are used and the seams are covered which causes a slight increase in weight. French balloon makers prefer to cut both canvases straight. Experiments show that the tensile strength of the envelopes thus made is approximately equal in all directions. Each method of construction has 's advantages and its defects. As India rubber, even when vulcanized, is altered by exposure to light, the canvas is colored yellow in order to arrest the violet and ultro violet rays, which are the most active. The pigment used in France is chromate of lead, which unfortunately must be applied to the canvas before it is coated with rubber, and which consequently prevents the vulcanization of the rubber, because the chromate of lead is blackened by heat. Picric acid is free from this objection, but its employment is too dangerous. Number of Plant Species species. The number of plant species now known is estimated by Prof. Charles E. Bessey at 210,000. He points out that about 18 years ago Saccardo found the number known to be 174,000, and concluded that it would reach 400,000—including 250,000 fungi—in 160 years, by which time botanists may be expected to find all species in existence. Lhne, 150 years before Sac cardo, knew 8,551 species. Benefits of X-Ray Whether X-rays benefit or harm may depend on the dose. H. E. Schmidt finds that a mild application may stimulate a sluggish ulcer to heal, but the mild treatment would stimulate also the undesirable growth of cancer, which needs a powerful dose to destroy the affected tissue. NOTES OF SCIENCE AND INVENTION India now ranks next to the United States as a cotton producing nation. A noninflammable moving picture film has been brought out in Germany. An average of three new comets a year are discovered by astronomers. Of the offspring of insane persons only about 60 per cent. are sound mentally. In the amount of its shipping Singapore is the eighth greatest port in the world. A single spider has been known to yield more than two and a quarter miles of web. In the British museum library there are more than thirty-two miles of shelves filled with books. At an elevation of ten feet above the sea the apparent horizon is slightly more than ten miles away. Lead glass, it has been found by English experts, is almost as impervious to X-rays as lead itself. The wind gauge on shipboard registers up to 105 miles an hour, which is much speed as anyone expects. On an average a man requires 1,600 pounds of food per annum; a woman 1,200 pounds, and a child 900 pounds. That 25,344,000 soap bubbles can be produced from a pound of soap has been figured out by a mathematical genius. New York theater managers estimate that the nightly attendance at the city's places of amusement is 2,600 more than it was one year ago ```markdown ``` An unsectarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.

Hopkins and Family. "AT THE MERCY OF TIBERIUS." The Attraction at the Grand Theater Next Week. The attraction that comes to the Grand for an engagement of one week beginning Sunday matinee, Feb. 26, is the result of Vaughan Glaser's firm conviction that Augustine Pymes Wilson's famous novel "At the Mercy of Tiberius" would more than duplicate the success of her other book "St. Elmo," she dramatized. The scenes are laid in New York city; Elm Bluff, the home of General Darrington in Virginia, and the Mission of all Angels, in the wilderness of Alberta; the Rocky Mountains of Canada. The story tells of a Southern aristocratic family of ancient lineage. The mother and her two children are living in poverty in New York city; in her dire distress, she asks Beryl, her daughter, to go to Virginia and invoke the aid of her grandfather; that they are in need, that she is dying, and the doctor advises medical operation that will cost 400 the only possible chance of prolonging life. The girl goes to Virginia and appeals to the old gentleman. He will not forgive the mother, whom he has disgorged or making a marriage against his but; gives the daughter jewels that were intended for the mother, had she not eloped years ago; he also gives her the money that was asked for. Beryl, leaves the house; but, before she can get on the train for New York is arrested for the murder of her grandfather. Lennox Dunbar, nick-named Tiberius, because of traits that liken him to the Roman Emperor of the same name, has fallen in love w.h the young girl. His agony of mind caused struggle between love and duty; his jealous belief that her brother, the boy whose guilt she assumes—is her liver, decide him to prosecute the case to the full extent of the law; his sons of duty prompting him, that; as District Attorney, he is bound to convict in accordance with his oath of office. He does convict her, and his final efforts to save her, form one of the most beautiful and picturesque dramatic stories ever presented. Miss Eleanor Montell, leading layd of the Nell Co at the Grand last summer, heads the cast. "THE BRIGADIERS." The Attraction at the Star Next Week. "The Perfume Bath" as a title for a burlesque would seemingly suggest possibilities for interesting complications. It claimed that these possibilities are made of in the line Brigadiers", announced on the Star Theatre next week. The plot of "The Perfume Bath" while thin enough not to cause any particular mental strain in following it, nevertheless, carries just thread enough to string many laughable situations upon, and leaves the essential openings for the necessary musical and dancing numbers, William Maussey, Ali Hunter, Avid Ali, William McAvoy and Alf Bonner are the men to whom is intrusted the humor and course, while Anna Meek Bonner, Lillie Stevens acceptably portray the feminine roles. A pretty and active chorus is also numbered "among those present" and the occurrence of fourteen numbers during the course of the performance serves to keep the aforesaid chorus appearing pretty frequently.

Our modern-dame is decidedly half-hearted in her following after beauty when compared with the fair fashionables of ancient Rome. It was the fashion at that time for a lady of high degree to repair to her perfumed bath at about 10:30 in the morning and remain in it for something like an hour. At the end of that time she was rubbed down, not with soft towels, but with pumice stone, and when this salutary discipline was completed she went right away into the complexion department and clapped on a cataplasm invented by the Empress Poppea herself, and never removed except upon the arrival of a distinguished stranger, unless, of course, the fair dame was thinking of salting forth in her charm to drink in the admiration of the outside masculine world. When the toilet proper began—in preparation for an indoor or outdoor "appearance"—a slave would remove the medicated plaster and bathe the lady's face in asses milk. This, of course, says the Montreal Star, was all very well for the start—one couldn't greatly object to the asses' milk nowadays—but what would one say to the following delicate compounds which, according to Pliny, were rubbed on one after the other in order to impart exquisite delicacy and freshness to the skin? First, there were ashes of snails or of large ants, burned and brushed in salt, then an application of honey in which bees had been suffocated. After that came a savory mess of pullet's fat mixed with onions and as a final unguent a gentle lubrication with swan's grease, supposed to be the dermier cri for the removal of wrinkles. SPIDERS OF THE ARGENTINE Their Dew-Laden Webs Compelled the Authorities to Put Telegraph Wires Under Ground. Spiders once caused the Argentine republic not a little trouble. Not that they were in any way dangerous or destructive in themselves. The grievance was simply that they would spin webs. Anyone who has gone across the fields on an autumn morning before the sun has dried the grass will remember how the dew sparkled on the spiders' webs stretched across the grass and the bushes. It was just this dew on the webs that caused the trouble in the Argentine republic. There the web spinning spiders are so plentiful that they have, on one occasion at least, completely demoralized the telegraph service. They would spin their webs across the telegraph lines, and as soon as dew fell or a shower came up every microscopic thread with which the wires abounded became wet and established a minute leak. The effect of millions of these leaks was practically to stop the operation of the lines. The government telegraph department, especially in Buenos Ayres, was put to much inconvenience. A number of expedients were tried, but to no purpose, until at last on one line as a last resort it was decided to connect Buenos Ayres and Rosario by an underground cable about two hundred and fifty miles long. On this important line some years ago the effect of the webs was to cut down the speed of working from three or four hundred messages an hour to thirty. It was sunset in England. The poem alleges that the sun belonged to England—but it is also used by the rest of the world. A young woman named Bessie went to see the sexton and asked him not to ring the curfew because her sweetheart was in prison and they were going to execute him at curfew. The sexton did not ask her what kind of a judge would issue such a decision, but explained that he couldn't afford to lose his daily wages. So Bessie went up in the belfry and held the clapper of the bell. Later she met Oliver Cromwell and gave him the particulars. Oliver said he guessed it was one on him. Later Bessie and her lover got married and toured the country as Swiss bell ringers, and subsequently went into vaudeville and played "Listen to the Mocking Bird" on strings of sleigh bells. Cromwell had a mole on his check, but he recognized Bessie as a militant suffragette—Chicago. Evening Post. Reason for Husband's Generosity Reason for Husband's Generosity. When a suburban housekeeper returned from her vacation a few days ago she was delightfully surprised to find a brand new dinner set and a lot of new kitchen utensils which her husband had frowned at when she suggested them in June. For a day or so she used the new knives, then decided that she would keep them state occa- tion. So she went to get her old dishes and utensils. But, bobbing they had flown. In an ash barrel down cellar she at last discovered a few cooking oils scorched to uselessness and some broken plates. The secret was out. Her husband had burned or broken all the older things and bought the new ones as a peace offering—Boston Herald.

IGNORANCE OF OUR BANKERS It Has Resulted in the Embezzlement of $28,000,000 in the Last Five Years. "In the last five years $28,000,000 have been embezzled from the banks and trust companies of the United States." The speaker was H. C. Dalton, a capitalist of San Francisco. He recumed: "The loss of this vast sum is due to the ignorance of our bankers. They don't employ the checks and safeguards in use in Europe. They seem, in fact, as ignorant of the value of these checks and safeguards as Bill Smith was ignorant of medicine. "Bill Smith met a friend in a saloon. "Trouble? Gee, I'm up to me chin in trouble," Joe answered. "Oh, everything's goin' wrong," was the reply. The first thing was me dog—run over by a taxicab last Monday week. Arter buryin' the dog I took 30 or 40 beers to cheer me up a bit, and the upshot was that a cop run me in. Of course, I didn't have no money to pay the fine, so I got ten days. Well, I only got out this mornin', and when I got home I found that my wife had gone off to her mother's with peritonitis.' "Wot? said Bill, in a tone of horror. Wot! That Dago fruitstand man up Snag Alley? Oh, poor old Joe! Poor feller." OXYGEN TO KEEP FISH ALIVE Method Adopted to Send Specimens From New York to Wealthy German Collector. When the North German-Lloyd steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse leaves port for Bremen, sixteen hermetically sealed jars, each containing live fish intended for the private aquarium of Emil Gundlacher, a wealthy resident of Gehlberg, Germany, will repose on the shelves in the purser's room. It is because of the keen desire of Herr Gundlacher to obtain live American fish, which he has failed to do after several attempts, that the experiment of sending them in these sealed jars (tried once before successfully), is to be again essayed. The secret lies in forcing enough oxygen into the jaws to keep the fish alive. The jaws placed on the Kalser will each be half full of water. After the fish are placed in the jars at the New York Aquarium, one hour before sailing, the director of the aquarium will force enough oxygen into each jar to last the fish confined in it for twelve days. As the journey from this port to Bremen and then to Gehilberg is not expected to take more than eight days all told, the fish are expected to be in a lively condition when received by Herr Gundlacher. In return he has promised to send some fine specimens of German fish to the New York Aquarium. Dr. F. I. Williams, our dentist, has moved his office from the Phillipson building to Room 64 Medical Block. corner of Seventh and Robert streets, over Mansur's Drug Store, where he will be pleased to see all old as well as new patrons. --- First Class Accommodations for Transient and Regular Trade Cafe in Connection.

How a Little Wisdom Came to the Wises The Wise's house looked homelike to the long legged bird that hovered overheard. Favorably impressed, he softly deposited on the steps, his wee burden of blessedness. The Wise's pleasure at the Stork's thoughtfulness was tempered by Mrs. Wise's following illness and her inability to provide nourishment for the Blessing. It looked as tho the precious gift might be taken away. Wise's doctor saved the day. He said "DIGESTO." Mrs. Wise became healthy and rosy and the Blessing became healthy and rosy. One more credit mark for DIGESTO. It is a necessity before and after the Stork's visit. For Sale by All Druggists MANUFACTURED BY THEO. HAMM BREWING CO. ST. PAUL, MINN.

It is surprising how many men there are who do not desire their sons or anyone else to adopt their calling. But is it wise thus practically to speak ill of your business? It is a good sign when a man is proud of his work or calling. Men are frequently heard finding fault with their particular business, deeming themselves unfortunate because fastened to it by the necessity of gaining a livelihood. They thus destroy all their efforts in the work and keep shifting from one thing to another until they are finally failures in life. A man should put his heart into everything he does. There is no profession that has not its peculiar cares and vexations. No man can escape annoyance by changing his business. There is not any mechanical business altogether agreeable. Commerce is affected, like all other pursuits, with trials and unwelcome duties. Schoolgirls as Mountain Guides. One of the novel occupations that the summer tourist business has developed is that of a guide to the high points of the continental divide on the Moffat road, and this unusual avocation has been selected by Miss Grace Nelson, a Denver high school girl, who is spending the summer at Corona, at the crest of the continental divide. Miss Nelson has explored the region around the station on the top of the divide and is daily engaged in taking parties of tourists to see the emerald lakes that lie hidden among the shadows of the giant crags and across the white fields of snow which lie unmeeted beneath the glare of the July sun. She has been able to add to her bank account during her vacation, besides paying all her expenses at the crest of the divide by this novel means of money-getting. Commercial Mausoleum. A company has been formed in Cincinnati to erect and rent a mausoleum. This is to be a large building, where bodies may be taken by survivors who own no burial plot and who have no desire to buy one. There will be compartment in the building, arranged like shelves in a library, and on these the bodies are to be placed. By an evaporating process they will be reduced to dust. It is the purpose of the undertakers of this business scheme to rent or to sell compartments of all sizes, ranging from the "single" to the "large family" size. E. N. YOUNG & CO.
