Mr. WIN. Crooks, F. r. S., talked
to the British Association at its recent annual
meeting about the almost Infinite smallness OF
the ultimate particles of matter small buio
which he showed them contained OgO, ,UoO,DOO :
900 OO0. 100000 IA auadrillion) molecules Of
air. If the air were exhausted from the bulb
80 that ONLY a millionth of the quantity was
left. the bulb would still contain triiiion
molecules. Suppose that these trillion mole
cules were out of the bulb. How long would 1t
take for them to get into it through hole
Iarge enough to admit hundred millions Of
them every second? "An houri a day! A
century? Nay, almost an eternity"

THE Germantown Telegraph says
that the last new plan for raising wheat is to
COW one quart of oats TO two of wheat, so that
when the frost nps the oats, it falls and acts
"a a cover To mulch for the wheat. On trial
il il asserted that the crop Of wheat was excel
lent while in an adjoining field where the Old
mode was followed it was very poor. The fact
IL that the former crop of wheat was 50 well
cultivated. that it proved to be a good crop in
spite of the oats, not on account of II. Winter
wheat requires no cover, and if it did, it would
hardly be benefited in the result by the oats
eating up one-haf the fertilization Of the soil"
We think some account should be taken OF
what the oats leave, roots and stems return to
the soil.

Columbia, Sullivan and Wyoming counties

ALL men must be Interested in q
| question which has been raised among the
! Methodists since the death Of Daniel Drew,
whose figure was 80 long and well known in
New York. The question IL whether sharp
stock gpeculatOr or in other words, stock
gambler, can be Christian. That Mr.. Drew
was a very shrewd and daring operator in stocks
| we all know. Not many years ago he was one
| Of the richest operators in Wall street and in
the country, and he had gathered his great
fortune by manipulating stocks for rise or a
fall. What they were really worth, whether
| the corporations which issued them were
| managed for the public benefit or only In the
| interests Of ring Of speculators, were matters
| about which he didn't concern himself All
| he thought Of was their use to him in making
money. 50 feeling, he was not unlike stock
spectators in general, who do not pretend that
| they are playing the part Of unsefish public
benefactors. They are simply trying TO make
| as much money az they can, and even If their
purses are filed by the depletion Of those Of
their Hoigbbors, they sleep with consciences
which make them no trouble, and rejoice at
their prosperity.

TO Washington and built grand residence on

home Of his bride, Marcia Burns, at whose feet
| Lafayette had knet in vain as n suppliant

| Burr in homage and alteration and Tom Moore
when he was in America in 1905 wrote SON

elegant state and hospitable entertainment

finally master and mistress passed the way oi
| all mortals, leaving no children behind them
| TO transmit their name, and 80 the property
passed into the hands Of relatives who by their
bad management and unthriit soon reduced the
princely estate To ruin, and to-day the old
