Science and Industry.
Mining industries in Colorado are

Ohio has Ss1, 900 acres of apple or
chards, and raised this year 5000, 600
bushels of apples.
Manitoba wheat and flour are highly
spoken of, but high freight rates tend
largely to keep them out of the market.
Flax, hemp, jute, and ramie are of
easy production in this country, yet we
annually import these articles to the
value of $50, 100000.
1t is estimated that the raising and
manufacturing of tobacco in this coun-
try furnishes employment to more than
1000, 600 persons.
In Central Georgia the annual av-
erage cost per head of keeping sheep is
81 cents; average cost of raising a pound

The President of the South Caro-
lima State Fair Association sold his en-
tire crop of bread-corn to Gen. W. G..
LaDue, United States Commissioner Of
Agriculture. This corn will be distrib-
uted throughout the United States for
seed.
Texas made this year 200, 900 bales
of cotton, from which will be obtained
SAC, loo, 600 pounds of seed. This seed,
converted into oil, would bring over
$l4, 100000. The total exports of cot
ton from the port OF Galveston during
the season just closed were 495, Sl4 bales,
of which PSF, 1928 went to foreign and

Prof. Bells telephones are not for
sale at any price. They are rented in
New York for $40 year. As they cost
less than dollar each, the inventor is

Bishop Huntington, in his new book
on "The Common Things of Divine
Service" sides with the Rev. Dr. Be-
van on coughing in church, and holds
that people who can not refrain from
coughing ought to stay at home. He
brands the church-going baby as nuis-
ance, and maintains that it and its
mama ought to spend Sunday almost
anywhere rather than in church.
"A country parson in Western Massa-
chusetts has been for II years trying to
get settlement of accounts with his
church. They have paid him in drib-
lets, from time to time, as they happen
ed to have money. Being generally
short, they have not paid his full salary.
As his funeral services recently number

that his people will ''pay the debt of ma
ture" before settling with him.
The spiritual condition of the ne
groes is attracting the attention of more
than one religious body. At the annual
session of the Presbyterian Synod of
Virginia, held lately at Alexandria in
that State, the report of committee on
this subject elected general discussion.
The report declared it to be the duty of
the Southern churches to do their full
part toward the moral and spiritual ele-
walton of the race, and the subsequent
remarks of the delegates strongly in
dOrsed this sentiment.

CROSSING THE QUICKSANDS; OF
THE IRRITABLE ADVENTURES OF
Hal AND NED Upon TIE PACIEIC

CROSSING THE QUICkSANDS; OR
THE IRRITABLE ADVENTURES OF
HAL AND NED UPON THE PACIFIC
SLOPE, by Samuel Woodwork Cog
gins, Lee & Shepard publishers, Bos-
ton. A very readable book-for boys.
The author promises the public that in
due time this work will be followed by
other volumes narrating the experiences
of Hal and Ned. We would advise the
publishers not to make too strong
point of killing too many Indians or
policemen, by the boys out west. "Our
boys' do not belong to the ''hoodlums''
of cities like New York or San Fran
cisco, and our average policeman and
fighter are not to be ''sneezed att when
it comes to fight with an ''Injun'' or
a boy.
"Sile' is not a bad character,
''I'l tell you a predicament 1 once got
ketched in, youngster, said Sile. was
minin' up in Juba, and had just
come in from the sluice, when see a
wolf rite in the edge of the clearin' whar
my cabin was. L ketched up my rifle
that stood by the door, and started fer
him. 1 followed him up the mountain
fer quite ways, and all of n sudden it
begun tew grow cold, and a blindin'
snow storm come on. Iknow'd twan't
no use tew try tew find my way back in
that storm; and 1 know'd pretty well,
that if somethin' didn't happen afore a
great while, Sile Carter'd freeze tew
death, sartin. Well, while / was a.
thinkin, i seed big grizzly come tearin'
right by me as though he was in a
thunderin' hurry tew git hum. So /
got up and fired, and as good luck would
hev it, hit him rite behind the left fore
shoulder. and I'll be switched if old
Ephraim didn't just keel over, rs dead
as Obed Rollins ghost. l couldn' t
hardly believe it at fust, but
he was dead sartin as l was
'enamost froze to death myself;
so jest took out my knife, ripped the
old feller open, pulled his inards out
and got rite into that air carcass, butes
and all, and / tell you 1 laid thar all
night as snng as ever feller laid in his
life; and in the morning | scrambled
out and went home"
The story is well told by "Silen; but
the 'Sile's'' are not in the habit of
using an and, and an an comes nearer,
to the word in vogue amongst them.
The other words are faulty in their
phraseology, and Sile Carter and his
story is suspiciously like old Rube the
earless trapper in the Scalp Hunters,
by Mayne Reid, and is not original.
However it will interest somebody
and that is saying much in these days.
