AT the agriculture experiment sta
tion of Maine State College, observa-
tions covering the period of growth
of four years have shown that the
excess of moisture IN forest above
that Of open field averages 10 per
cent, reaching IA per cent. in the
middle of the day. The excess would
undoubtedly be greater in very
dense forest. The presence of
patches Of forest in any region exerts
a marked influence on the microscopic
conditions Of the atmosphere, and
this condition, in turn, is an import
ant factor in the growth of vegeta-
ton.

THERE is a bright prospect ahea,

THERE is bright prospect ahead
for the farmers of the nation. Crops
are reported as being in good condi-
tion from nearly every section Of the
country. This means that the farmer
will have his full share of whatever
good comes to us in this year, and
will not have reason for complaint,
all things considered. Even though
prices rule low, there will be bread
to eat and clotaes to wear for all
who till the soil. This we have to
be thankful for, and it is great deal.

A DYNAMITE mine was discovered
under the track of the railway over
which the Car was to travel to the
maneuvers of the Russian army. The
incident causes little surprise. 1t is
only when no mines are discovered
along the line of contemplated travel
by the Russian monarch that people
have reason to wonder what is the
matter with the Russian people.

Bushels of Marbles.

Most of the stone marbles used by
boys are made in Germany. The
refuse only of the marble and agate
quarries is employed, and this is
treated In such a way that there is
practically no waste.
Men and boys are employed to
break the refuse stone into small
cubes, and with their hammers they
acquire marvellous dexterity. The
little cubes are then thrown into a
mill consisting of grooyed bedstone
and revolving runner. Water is
fed to the mill, and the runner is
rapidly revolved, while the friction
does the rest.
In half an hour the mill is stopped
and bushcl or so of perfectly round
ed marbles taken out. The whole
process costs the merest trihe.
