A Knowing Mule.

A farmer of WilIiamsbridge, on the
northern outskirts of New. York City,
plows his land with horse and mule
harnessed together. The mule has a
hairless, stubbed tail, dropping ear,
and a d cad eye. But what he lacks in
personal appearance he richly makes up
in sagacity. The other morning, shortly
after dawn, the farmer found that both
horse and mule had been stolen out Of
the stable during the night. After break
fast time the mule limped home, travel
ing tor the most part on three legs. One
of the rear fetlocks was badly sprained,
and his lips were fecked with blood as
though he had been trying to chew some
thing too tough for ordidary masticating
powers. Almost at the same hour a
sorry looking man with 500 bill in his
pocket, was arrested as a suspicious per.
son by the Carmansviile police. He
was covered with cuts and bruises, which
be accounted for by saying that he had
been knocked down by runaway horse,
crushed by the wheels of the wagon be-
hind it, and mangled by a dog that was
pursuing the turnout. The farmer sus-
poets that the man was in contact with
both ends of his mule, and that the
twenty dollars is the result Of. a cheap
horse sale.-Chicago Times.

Vitality OF Seeds. .

Whether seeds can or cannot preserve
their vitality for heightened periods de.
pends as much or mere on external than
inherent conditions; and it is more and
more tendency CT scientific belief, that
under some conditions seed which would
lose It's vital power in year or two, may,
under other conditions, continue vital for
an indefinite period. 1t is still mooted
question whether the ''mummy seeds

Queer. Bit o& Literary History.

Thess is a rich man in New, Kork with
b quexr bit of Literary history. Years ago
he was: very poor. He wrote stories and
no publishes would take them. Finally
he deceived legacy of S3Gh. He had a
c,sppled sister to support and he incor-
roratcd her with himself into publish
ing company. Then lie printed his re-
iected stories. They paid expenses, and
he wrote story of aewsboy life aad
published it, and since then has written
and published eighty books. They are
common stories, cheaply printed, but
they sell by thousands. He owns block
of houses in Brooklyn and supports his
invalid sister in luxury. He has worked
hard, but he has achieved success, and
what pleasos him most is the fact that he
has shown other publishers how badly
mistaken they were in their judgment Of
his heQks.-4tlants Constitution.

Frozen Siberia.

At Yakutsk, Siberia, a man started to
dig a we'll in 1928. He worked on it
three years and gave it up, finding the
ground still frozen at depth of thirty
feet. The Russian Academy of Science
took up the work and sunk the we'll to
depth of SS2 feet without getting
through the frosen ground. BY taking the
temperature at different points the scien-
fists have concluded that the ground IS
frozen to a depth of 5000 feet. After
figuring on the subject for over quarter
of century, geologists have come to the
conclusion that the great frozen valley
of the Lena River was deposited, frozen
just as it is to-day, during the great
grinding-up era of the glacial epoch:
Eight hundred and eighty-two feet OF
the frozen soil might we'll stagger the
scientific investigator, for it violates all
the preconceived ideas of the condition
and temperature of the interior OF the
earth. Francisco Examiner.

bunch the following year. The greatest
trouble of farmers is to keep the farms
clear Of sprouts. They shoot up from
the roots of the tree for radius of ten
feet and grow like weeds.
As the fruit is cut from the trees it is
placed on the backs of little pack don.
keys and transported in this way to the
coast. One donkey can carry from three
tosix punches, according to the size of
the punches and the distance from the
coast. In the season at Baracoa there
are more than three thousand donkeys
that stretch along in line for miles
plodding toward the coast with their
loads of bananas.
The fruit from Jamaica is considered
by dealers to be the largest, best and
most salable. This is said to be owing
to the fact that the fruit is allowed to re-
main longer on the trees and is more
fully matured than from any other Sec
ton.
One firm has just planted q grove of
100000 trees at Gioara, Sama, near
Baracoa, which will be bearing fruit in
another year.
The cost to the farmer of raising the
fruit is estimated at twenty-five cents
tree, and he calculates on realizing ten
per cent. profit. The fruit is sold in the
market at from seventy five cents to 81
a bunch wholesale.
The principal markets for bananas are
New York, New Orleans, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Savannah, Galveston ans
Tampa, Fla, From these points the fruit
is circulated over the country.-New

Anthracite Coal for Centuries.

Thirty years ago fears were entertained
by men engaged in the mining OF
anthracite coal that the supply would be
exhausted in this region around about
Pittston, Penn, before the close Of the
present century. The northern boundary
of the coal field was fixed short dis
lance above Carbondale, and the So
called experts were confident that coal
would not be found in paying quantities
outside of this line. When it was
rumored that coal had been found in
Susequehanna County, these old-timers
laughed at the reports and the men who
bought and held for years land now con.
sidered valuable we're classed among the
visionary spectators of the age. Time
has proven that the men who outlined
the coal measures in the Lackawanna
Valley made great errors in calculating
courses and distances. Instead of ex-
hausting the supply in thirty years, the
men now in the field have brought to.
sight, in the upper end of the valley,
more anthracite coal than has been mined
since the first opening was made. Recent
developments at Forest City have sur
prised the coalmeu of the region and now
it is known that the work of mining has
only begun in that region. The immense
tracts that the Elk Hill Coal Company is
now making preparations to develop were
passed by for years as worthless. Close
upon the news that operations were to be
commenced by the Elk Hill Coal Company
comes the announcement that the North
west Coal Company, which owns large
tracts in upper Lackawanna, has met
with unexpected good fortune in; pro-
specting. Underlying the veins which
the company is now working new vein
has been discovered which is authenti-
cally reported as being fourteen feet. In
