in cultivation so years, and this re-
suit was accomplished by the appli-
cation OF only 100 pounds Of cotton
seed meal to the acre, applied in the

done in Louisiana, it can be done i'll

Texas is A u'WhOppin" Big State.

A recent article in the New Yo;k
Evening World gives some very in
tertsting facts u regard 10 the enor-
NOUS SIZE Of the State of Texas. 1t
says:
"Of the vast area OF the larger
Western States, people who have not
visited them and travelled over them
have no comprehensive idea. Texas,
the largest of the United States, has
an area of 262,290 square miles. To
the casual reader, says Kate FIELDS
Washington, these figures mean very
little; they show, however, that the
Lone Star State Is more than fifty
four times rs large rs the State OF
Connecticut.
If it we.e possible to run a rail.
way train from Connecticut to Texas
and back in a day, and il the train
could take the entire population Of
the Nutmeg State, rs given in the
last census, at every trip, and upon
it's return there should be as mary
persons in the state rs there were be-
fore the train left with its cargo, auC
if each were placed upon an acre OF
ground upon his arrival in Texas, the
train would be obliged to make D.
trips, or to depOpula,e ConUecticut
224 times, before accOnIpl shing ils
mission, and then there would re-
main in Texas 703, sos empty acres
at may be passing Interest o know
that such traiU, made up OF co CHI
es twenty feet long, capable OF &c
commodating fifty passengers each
would extend over a distance of more
than fitty-six miles,
eff the entire State OF Texas WEI
planted with corn aud the hills wer,
two feet apart, and the rows wer
three feet apart, and If every man
woman aud child in the State o
Connected were set to work in tn
field to hoe the corn, and each persot

five minutes, it would take thi
army of laborers seven years, %

Chemistry as uu ;irr dates back from
the very dawn of civilization itself. Asa
science it is barely IL couple of centuries
old. To the alchemist its pursuit was in
the main but the pursuit of wealth.
Now and again we find men among them
like Thomas Aquinas, Basil Valentine,
Libavius and Glauber, who were inn
PEELED by u higher motive than the love
of gold to seek for the hidden meaning
of things, but the mystical tendencies OF
the middle ages were as scales to their
eyes, and such devious groSing for the
light as they were able to make too fire.
quently ended in utter darkness.
Even in TIE therapeutic 'crudities of
Paracelsus. who was sufficiently sincere
in his profession az a thaumaturgist to
affirm that magic was the eliminating
point OF all human knowledge, what
there was of science was summed mp IN
the aphorism, which in fact passed as an
axiom among his disciples: Man is y
chemical compound. His ailments are
due to some alteration in his composition
and a only be cured by the influence
of other chemical compounds. 1t may
be questioned indeed whether modern
therapeutics has advanced much beyond
this position.
In strict truth, it is only within the
present century that men have seriously
set themselves to search for the causes
and conditions of chemical change.
P~hlogistonisln, it is true. had i'll it the
semblance of a philosophical doctrine,
but it was founded on an utterly false
basis. and ultimately fell and was crushed
by the weight of its own a~bsurdities.
The recognition of the real nature Of
combustion, itself IA manifestation of
chemical union, paved the way toward a
clearer conception of the essential ma
ture of chemical combination, and this
conception acquired "a beauty, order and
harmony until then unknown to chem

atomic hypothesis as an explanation of
the fundamental facts of chemical at
inity. Indeed it has become a truism
to say that this conception, the fruit Of
patient and sustained induction, is to
chemistry what the theory of universal
gravitation is to astronomy.
For the first time III its history chem
istry was illumined and viyified by d
single consistent theory, founded on
quantitative RELATIONS and making use
of definite mathematical expression, and
it was at length recognized that the
science must ultimately be referred to
mathematical laws similar to those

They All Saw 1t Move.

Mrs. Burton, with her husband-Sir
Richard Burton, the famous traveller
and two ladies, had driven out of Trieste
to a village dance and were sitting in
the carriage listening to the band. In
telling of it she said:
Suddenly, at the top of a roof, Icaught
sight Of a rat, which appeared to me to
be spellbound by the music.
s.Look!" said. Don't move, but
watch that rat, fascinated by the mu-
SIC"
So we all sat and watched it, and
thought it most interesting that rats
should be susceptible to music like liz
ards and snakes.
We all saw it move. We all saw it's
head turn and its tail move, and we kept
still, not to brighten it away. The next
day, feeling SO much interested in the
affair, we sent to inquire about it. The
rat, it turned out, was made Of painted
tin and fixed to the top Of the house.
So much for imagination.-Youth' Com
