Among the disable apparatus invent

One that Is Arranged to Divide Time
Into Daylight and Dark.
People have contrived to civilize
themselves in many respects, but they
have never yet adopted az thoroughly
rational method of keeping time. For
years We have been accustomed to a
system which has led to endless confu-
sion, and to not few serious accidents.
The difficulty with this system is it's
ambiguity. 1t is adopted on the theory
that the day is divided into two half
days of twelve hours each; and then it
leaves us with no indication, as far as
the face of the clock is concerned,
whether it is daytime or nighttime.

educating the people anew, and at the

nothing for it, the state simply sharing,

AN IMMENSE CORN CROP.
The South will be Blessed as Never Be-
fore by bundant Harvests.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 21.-The Southern
States Magazine publishes elaborate re.
ports from Southern bankers and rail
road officials in regard to the outlook
for farming and general business inter
ests with a special reference to the
Investigation of agriculture in the
South.
The reports show that the unusual
large corn crop of 1894 will be excelled
this year by at least from 100, 900, 900 to
$50, 600, 900 bushels, and it is estimated
that the aggregate yield in the South will
be from 600, 600, 900 to $50, 900, 00C
bushels of corn, worth to that section al
least $500, 600, 600 This is the greatest
corn crop ever produced in the South.
Fruits and vegetables as shown by
these reports, are attracting great atten-
ton and the yields this year have been
unprecedentedly large. The South has
been blessed as never before with every
crop excepting cotton and though that
may be smaller in yield, than last year,
its money value promises to be larger
The Southern States Magazine" says;
It is an interesting story CT abundant
crops, of freedom from debts and in
creasing prosperity, which is told in re-
ports from banks and railroad officers.
