ignorant. Professor MacAdam, in
giving the result of his investigation
into the mill explosion which occur
red in England in 1872, said:
"The conditions required to bring about
a flour explosion are somewhat similar to
those which cause gas explosion. Coal
gas is combustible, and not explosive
when it is mixed with air, and it only
becomes explosive when it is mixed with
sufficient air to burn it. The proportion
is obtained in the most powerful degree
when one volume of gas is mixed in ten
parts of air. A lesser or larger proper
ton of air lessons the power of the ex
plosion by causing the gas To burn less
quickly, and consequently with less ex-
plosive force, and thus tending more to
ordinary combustion. In order to bring
about the explosion, it is necessary also
that the flOur-ai mixture be confined
within given space; hence, if the flour
be encased in a box with the lid fastened
down, and the bellows be brought into
play to produce cloud while a light is
introduced, the box will be forced open
with a loud explosive noise, and the side
be split up, while weights placed on the
box are thrown off.
1t would seem, therefore, that the
explosive quality Of four-dust de-
dends on its being mixed with cer-
tain portions of air, and on this mix.
ture being confined within a given
space. These conditions being
known can be easily guarded against,
all that is necessary being to carry off
the dust by means of ventilating
shafts or in some way to dispense it
SO as to prevent its dangerous accu-
mutation within confined spaces

For joyful harvest home,

For one short summer day /:

And silently passed away;

Though not as left it here;
For shadows and mists will have passed and gon,

That once came floating by;

For the echo, though distinctly;
But know in the halls of glory it thrills
Ever by day and night:
shall hear it complete when its harmony fills
My soul with great delight,
lost the love that made my life,
A love that was all for me;
Oh. vainly sought it amid the strife
of the srormy, raging sea
But deeper and purer know it waits
Beyond my wistful eyes;

The question Of England's Indian
troops doing service in Europe has
suddenly become an important one.
With India as recruiting ground her
supply OF good material for soldiers
is inhaustible. The spectacle Of the
Sepoys fighting England's battles in
Europe is not a pleasant one for Eng
lands enemies. The venture is an
experiment, OF course, but there is
little doubt that English shrewdness
would make it a success.

TRANSPLANTING.

The object OF transplanting Is to
check the growth of the foliage and
and promote that OF the root, and
this is the best done while the plants
are young, so that, when the plants
are finally planted out, there will be
sufficient root to support vigorous
upper growth. As soon as the plants
are well above the surface or the soil
they should be thinned out: that is,
the weaker ones should be removed,
so that those left may have free &C.
cess to the air and not be crowded.
In thinning out, leave the shortest
and strongest plants, keeping them
as nearly as possible an equal dis
lance apart and with small space
between the leaves OF one plant and
those of the next. As soon as the
plants have six visible leaves the
first transplanting Called the prick
ing OUT should be performed. First
the seed bed should be watered, and
about an hour afterward the plants
should be removed to another bed,
prepared OF rich, light soil. In re-
moving the plants from the old bed
it is of great consequence to preserve
the rootlets, and to this end a three
or four pronged fork should be EN-
ployed, lifting the plants gently and
handling them carefully, planting
them nearly up to the leaves in the
new bed, placing them three or four
inches apart, and pressing the earth
very lightly about them, and finally
lightly sprinkling them with water.
The bed In whic hthey are transplanted
should be prepared rather dry, and il
out OF doors just before a shower of
rain ia the best time. Plants that
have been thus transplanted not only
grow to greater perfection, but are
more hardy and will stand protrac-

Gems Of Thought.

We are our own fates. Our own
deeds are our doomsmen.-Lucille.
If laughter is the daylight of the
soul, a smile is is twilight.
By bestowing blessings upon others,
we entail them on ourselves.
Danger should be feared when dis
tant, and braved when present.
To give pain is the Tyranny of
beauty; to make happy is her true
empire.
Patience is virtue which some
people think every one needs but
themselves.
The froth OF the head not unfre-
quently becomes venom when it
reaches the heart.
The miser lives to die rich, and is
the gaoler of his house, and the turn
key OF his wealth.
The mind that busies itself much
with the future has need to be an un-
commonly cheerful one.
The light in the world comes prin-
cipally from two sources-the sun
and the students lamp.
Friendship is the medicine for all
misfortunes. but ingratitude dries up
the fountain of all goodness.
1t is but a step from cunning to
knavery; lying makes the whole diff
ference-add that to cunning, and it
is knavery.
We are haunted by an ideal life
and It is because we have within us
the beginning and the possibility OF
it.-Phillip Brooks.
Certain thoughts are prayers.
There are moments when, whatever
be the attitude OF the body, the soul
is on its kness.-Victor Hugo.
Though treasures unboundeN are not my share,
/ still am as rich as Others are;
care not for gold,
care not for gold;
The mind may the choicest of treasures hold.
--Gertrande Brederode. Holland. 1918.
Every love created enriches the
heart. and il it be lost. who knows
but its whole mission has been per-
formed, and in dying its greatest
power lay.
The future belongs still more to the
heart than to the mind. To love is
the only thing which can occupy and
fill up eternity. The infinite requires
the inexhaustible. Victor Hugo.
Those who would render their char
tiles useful should judiciously diffuse
them. He who would have a good
crop must sow with his hand, and not
pour out of the sack into one heap.

WHITE OIL CORN.

Charles Joslyn writes to the Ratral
World as follows:
White oil corn had its origin in the
central part Of Indiana, within the
corn belt, for lie. it be remembered
that the territory including Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Kansas. comprises the
great corn field of the world. In no
country, in no climate, do we find
such prolific fields of corn. Nowhere
on the globe do we find either soil or
climate so we'll adapted to its culture.
In the autumn of 1860 my father, in
travelling through the central part Of
this State, CHANGED to find, in rail
pen close to the road, lot of corn,
much of which was of a strawberry
color. He selected two very nice
looking ears and brought them home.
In the spring he planted it to himself.
When it matured the greater portion
CT it was white. He chose his seed
from both the white and strawberry
color for several seasons, but soon
learned that the tendency for it was
to become white. From year to year,
up to the present, he has carefully
chosen his seed from the white, select
ing with reference to size and firm
ness of the ears, size OF cob, etc. He
soon learned that the largest. finest
grains grew on the smallest and firm
est cob, and that two thirds of the
large end Of the ear was the purer,
and each year, with proper culture,
became more so, while the small end
had a tendency to run out, the cob
grew larger and less firm, the grains
smaller and less oily.
He never puts his corn into the
ground until the season is right,
about the 1st to the 10th OF May;
sometimes when the season is back
ward he does not plant until the 1st
OF Tune. The result is, it is never
checked in its growth, and always
natures earlier than corn planted
two or three weeks sooner in the
spring, and the stalks and blades al
ways look thriftier and richer.
Every one can do the same thing.
Plant the best seed in good soil and
properly cultivate it, and it grows
better and better every year. Do not
let it run out. Use the same care in
improving your seed that you do in
improving your stock. II you have
not good quality get it, and keep it
up. Do not let 1t run out.
