Why They Are White.

There is no phenomenon of nature
that escapes the investigating eye ol
science. In England they have lately
been experimenting with founders
in order to determine whether the
whiteness of the under sides of those
fish is due to the exclusion of light,
and the presence of color on their up
per sides to exposure to light
They have kept the fish expert
mented upon, living in a glass tank
having a mirror placed beneath, so as
TO reflect light upon the under sides
of the fish.
One of these prisoners has survived
for three years under conditions so
strangely different from its ordinary
habits of life, and all of them have
exhibited the development of spots of
pigment on their lower surfaces.
The experimenters have concluded
that it is exposure to light that causes
the colOration of the upper Iarts of
the bodies not only of founders but
of other fish, and conversely, that it
is to the comparative absence OF
light that the whiteness of the under
sides of fish is due. They extend the
same principle to explain the color

animals tina pass all their lives in

Wrinkles and Pain.

When the day has been long and
hard; when a sharp pain begins to
make itself felt in the busy woman's
forehead and a dull ache in the back
of her neck; and when she is sure
that the only answer to the question
as to whether life is worth living is
negative, then there is only one
thing for her to do. And that one
thing is not to read a cheerful or even
pious book, or to force herself into a
pleasant mood. 1t is this: First, she
must get out of her tight clothes and
bunch her hair on the top of her.
head. Then she must bathe her face
for five minutes in the hottest water
she can bear. Then her neck must
be treated to the same process. She
will look like lobster or beet, but
she should refrain from looking at
herself. After that she should lie
down fat on her back and give her.
self to the single thought Of how
heavy she is and how the couch sup
ports her. If she does not fall asleep
as she probably will, she should rise
and the end Of half an hour of this
intellectual enjoyment She will feel
ten years younger. There will be no
pain anywhere, and she will have
cheerful conviction that life is very
much worth living. Moreover, the
lobster hue will have faded to rose,
and she will look as well as she feels.

Washing F1annels.

Flannels should always be washed
by themselves in suds, prepared for
them, on no account to be rubbed on
the board, unless very dirty The
suds should be. pleasantly warm to
the hands, not too hot, and no hot or
cold water be added while the fannels
are in the tub. They should be rinsed
in clean water of the same tempera-
ture as the washing suds and as
many waters used as may be neces-
sary to take all the soap out as the
fiannels will never be soft with the
soap left in them. They should never
be blued. They should be pulled in
shape before hanging, undershirts
being hung from the shoulders. They
should never be hung out Of doors In
freezing weather, but quickly dried
before the fire, or, better, over the
register, and pressed as soon as dry
enough.

IDEAS TRAVEL FAST.
A Common Trick That Tradesmen Gave
of Turning Them Into Money.

A Common Trick That Tradesmen Fave
of Turning Them Into Money.
New ideas are difficult to sell but
very easy to give away; in fact, re-
porter of the New York Sun has dis
covered that if they are good ideas
other folks adopt them without be-
ing asked and in very annoying
way sometimes. For instance, the
reporter had invented arfpin and
had his design executed by manu-
featuring jeweler. The jeweler, when
delivering the pin, remarked: That
is very pretty. It is design that
will sell well. We are thinking OF
making few Thousand for the trade"
thus destroying the chief value Of
| the ornament.
Not long afterward this same PER
son had the misfortune to break two
washbowls in one week by humping
them against the end of the wash
stand in his summer home in the
country. He decided that it would
be cheaper and better to initiate the
city plan of using a fixed bowl with
planned mere frame OF hard pol
ished wood to be supported on plated
metal brackets and to have big
bowl sunk in the shelf with plug
in the bowl and slop,ar underneath.
When this idea was explained TO
member of wholesale firm in the
plumbing trade he remarked: II
cbo,,15 not xuopdor if II 1ro,,ld no q
good thing to make lot Of those
stands People can't have running
water in the country. but that is the
very next thing to having it. L be-
lieve you have hit on very salable
thing" He seemed to pride himself
on being connOisseur of other folks
ideas, for he said that recently man
had come along with an order for
bathtub on wheels, but he did not
think that would recommend itself
to the trade or the public. This man
had no bathroom in his country
house, and could not spare room to
make one of. Therefore he hit on
the plan of putting a bathtub on
wheels and moving it into the bed
room of whoever called for bath.
An ordinary iron porcelain-lined tub
was what he wanted, fitted with
wheels with rubber tires. By putting
a hot and cold water faucet in every
room and an open-mouthed waste
pipe in one Of the bedrooms-all his
bedrooms being on one fioor-he ex-
pected to be as well off as if he had a
bathroom.
When statues are made the GUS
tom is for the sculptor to reproduce
his design in miniature in plaster of
paris, and copies Of this are given to
favored friends. Always, in such
cases, the recipients are infor med
that only very limited number of
these statuettes has been made and
that therein lies great part of their
value The favor is then requested
that if any ones statuette breaks he
will be very careful to intrust it to
none but highly reputable repairer,
else the person to whom it is taken |
will copy it and sell it to be hawked |
about the streets. The moral OF the |
situation is that since we cannot af- |
ford to patent every clever thought |
and device we must deal only with |
those who will respect our helpless

Four-Masted Ships.

The British ship Somali, one of the
largest ships afioat, now loading at
Hong-Kong for this port, is Of 1868
tons register. 1t is generally thought
that four -masted ships and of such
large dimensions are Of recent origin,
but such is not the case. In a
copy of the Prince Edward Island
Register of July 1924, there appears
notice of the launch at Quebec on
the 10th of July of that year of the
four-masted ship Columbus of 3,7OO
tons register Her dimensions are
given as follows; Register, 3, 600 1924
tons; length, 301 feet 6 inches;
beam, SO feet inches; depth of hold,
90 feet 4 inches 1t was calculated
that she would carry 5000 tons of
lumber.
The paper spoken of in its issue of
July %, 1925, contains an item
headed, Loss of the timber ship
Columbus" detailing how the vessel
on May II, 1925, encountered a
dreadful storm in latitude 46 deg. 81
min. north, longitude 20 deg. min.
west, commenced to leak and was
abandoned. She carried a crew of
ninety men. Another Canadian
built monster-the Baron of Ben
frew-was afloat at the same time as
the Columbus Her dimensions were:
length on deck 303 feet, beam &C
feet, depth of hold 35 feet, measure
ment tonnage 200. She carried
nearly 9, 900 tons of lumber in her
hold, besides 800 tons on deck. She
carried a crew of eighty-tour. She
ran ashore and was wrecked near
Calais, France, on October y, 1925.

STATE AFFAIRS
And Capital City News Of State
Interest
State Board of Agriculture.

State Board of Agriculture.
The annual meeting of the state board
OF agriculture convenes on Wednesday,
January 10th, and continues three days.
Never before has the program been so
rich in topics of vital interest to farm
ers. The features of special interest
and value are the contributions to be
made by two distinguished agricul-
tural educators of the east.
Prof. Milton Whitney, of Johns Hop
kins university, has for years made a
speciality of the study of water circula-
ton in soils and las demonstrated by
actual experiment facts which are of
vital importance to farmers. From these
facts we are taught the kind of soil,
treatment necessary to the economic use
of moisture for plant growth; and also
how to get from given amount of rain
fall the greatest possible good. The
knowledge to be thus gained from Prof.
Whitney alone will amply repay any
live progressive farmer or fruit grower
in Kansas for trip to Topeka.
Col. Daniel Needham, of Boston, who
is on the program for the Relation of
Western Agriculture to the East" is
broad guaged man. He has been presi-
dent of the New England Agricultural
society, for twenty five years and during
that time and longer close and inter
ested student of the agriculture of our
country, as we'll as of leading European
countries. And having grown up among
the great manufacturing and monied
institutions of the east, he is qualified to
speak advisedly of the relation of the
one to the other, that is, 1.-THE Relation
of Western Agriculture to Eastern In
stitutions" No farmer can afford to miss
hearing Col. Needham.
These two men will be present dur
ing the entire meeting and will add
greatly to the interest by participating
in the discussion of papers.
The possibilities of irrigation in Kan
sas is most vital question just now
and this subject in it's various bearings
will be thoroughly and ably presented
by men who know what they are talk
ing about.
The Agricultural college has strong
representation on the program IN Presl-
dent George T. Fairchild, Professors G.
G. Georgeson and N. S. Mayo and Mrs.
Nellie S. Kedzie-The university also,
in Chancellor F. H. Snow and McPher-
son college in President S. 2. Sharp
In other respects the program is up to
that of any previous meeting in charac-
ter and ability and, as heretofore, all
who attend are requested to participate
freely in the discussions.
All railroads of Kansas have granted
a rate of one and one-third fare for
the round trip from all points in Kan
sas including st. Joseph and Kansas
City, Mo-, All tickets are sold on the
certificate plan and, therefore, all that
attend must be particular to take certi-
fcate of ticket agent showing that full
fare was paid on going trip. Unless
they do so no reduced rate can be had |
for return.
Here is an opportunity for an uplift-
ing in agriculture which will not occur |
again for whole year.
Come to the feast prepared for you.

The state board of charities appointed
George Tauber, Of Topeka, stewart of
of the deaf and dumb institute at
Olathe; James Butler, editor of Super
intendent Gaines paper at Abilene,
steward of the Topeka insane asylum
DR.. Morgan Cloud, of Junction City,
and DR.. J. H. Hall, of Conway, McPher-
son county, physicians at the Topeka in
sane asylum; j. N. Cook, of Beloit, car
penter at the Topeka insane asylum.
The financial report of the worlds
fair board shows that the salaries of the
board amounted to $8,27O26. Only S49,-
9O9.19 of the $65,000 appropriated was
available after the debts of the old
board had been paid. All claims have
been paid, and $2,346.93 has been
turned back into the treasury. This was
hardly enough to pay for the printing
of the report which will now be done
under the direction of the executive
council.
The state board of charities closed
their meeting at Topeka, probably until
after the holidays. The members say
that the several institutions in their
charge are in good condition and that
the inmates are being well cared for. In
the two insane asylums there are 1,5OO
patients, S8 in the blind asylum, 225
in the reform school, 100 in the imbecile
asylum, 135 in the soldiers orphans
home, 240 in the deaf and dumb institu-
ton and 100 in the industrial school.
All railroad lines have granted an
open rate of one fare and one-third for
ronnd trip on the certificate plan, to
those who attend the annual meeting of
the Kansas state board of agriculture at
Topeka, January 10 to IL, from all points
in Kansas, including Kansas City and
st. Joseph, Mo-, and tickets will be sold
January s, 9, 10 and IL, good for re-
turn January IA, 1894. All persons,
when they purchase tickets for the meet
ing, must take certificates from ticket
agent, showing they have paid full fare
going; and if the journey is made over
more than one line, certificate must be
taken each time purchase of ticket is
made. If the passenger fails to take
certificate showing full fare paid on go
ing trip, he will not be entitled, under
the rules, to reduced rate on return, |
and, of course, is not counted to make |
up the number which is required to en-
title the meeting to reduced rates.
