ELLEN JONES.

My dear Ellen, will try to answer
your question although we will have
to go back good ways. Pliny says
that the saw was invented by Dn-
dalus, but according to ApoIIodorus,
it was the invention Of Talus who us
ed the iawbono Of crocodile to cut
through a piece of wood and then
made an iron instrument In imitation
of it. The saw is represented on the
monuments Of Egypt from 1000 to
5000 years, b. c. AS early as A.
d. 1922 saw mills driven by water
power were in operation at Augsburg
Germany, and it is believed that Re
fore this they were in operation in
Paris. They were not introduced in
to England until 1863 when a native
of Holland built one.

Saponaceous Earth III Florida.

Tn many portions of Florida are found
deposits of saponaceous earth-a mate
ri Vi with which one can clean the hands
from machine or axle grease as thor
oughly and completely as with the best
If soap. A few years ago party of
phosphate prospectors were canning in
polk county. One Of them had occasion
TO grease their wagon. No proper con-
veniences being in camp, ne used his
hands freely, and when the job was
finished had them we'll smeared with
axle grease. There was nc soap in camp
and the situation was unpleasant. Half
an hour later he went to where the men
were boring with a ten foot augur.
They were bringing up a waxy looking
CLAW, which adheared to the tool. AS
his hands were already soiled, he cleaned
the augur with his fingers, and worked
the sticky stuff over in his hands. Later
on he went to nearby creek to wash
off the clay, and was much surprised to
find that with il came the grease, leav-
ing his hands clean and white. Clay
possessi ng the same qualities is found in
many rarts eff the state. 1t is we'll
known but not we'll understood. Orlando

Pepper.

The Tampa Times says: 0. N. Bran
men, an old friend and patron of
the Times, who resides near Plant
City, called at these agricultural
headquarters yesterday and related his
experience growing pepper for the
northern markets. He had in his crop
only about 100 hills, but from them he
gathered four or five crates at each pick
ing, realiziog an average of crate per
hill altogether. He shipped to various
markets and received returns of So 25 to
81 per crate. Mr. Brannen says the fer
tlizing and cultivation present no diff
Guilty and little difference from those of
the tomato and other field crop of sim
liar kind.
Now is The time to plant for the fall
crop. On well sheltered ground plant
where wanted to grow, or plant in beds
and transplant when sufficient growth is
attained. Make rows four feet apart
and place six to ten plants In hills two
feet apart in the row. 1t will row to be
three or tour feet high. AS soon as pods
reach full size, snd before they get too
hard or begin to color, pick, wrap and
pack exactly as tomatoes.
Mr. Brannen recommends the Golden
Mammoth Queen, Bell or Bullnose as the
best varieties. He will plant an acre
now, and expects to begin to gather by
the first of October and continue picking
until freeze kills the plants. There is
money in thi cultivation of pepper,
which i S rapidly finding it's way to pop
ular favor al over the country. The
large, thick-shnned, sweet varieties are
very nutritious and grateful to the
stomach.

emitted pale yellow light that stood
out in strong relief against the black
night, wierd and formidable spectacle,
rushing on before the wind.
An English naturalist, wishing to
astonish some natives in q wild part OF
Asia in which he was travelling and
impress them with his supernatural
powers, secured certain vine known as
Euphorbia phosphorea, and, rubbing it
1t upon big rock, caused the latter to
CLEAN with fame and present so remark
able a spectacle that the natives ran,
believing that he had set the rock aflre
by simply touching it. The naturalist
was aware that the milky juice of this
plant, that resembled the dandelion,
was brilliantly phosphorescent.
In the Harz Mountains there has been
for ages a cave kaown as the haunted
cavern. An Englishman, travelling in
the vicinity and hearing of it, deter
mined to Investigate the mystery. After
a long climb he reached the cave. No
sooner did complete darkness set in than
the phantom of the cave appeared-a
remarkable semblance to human form,
with arms outspread, outlined against
the gloom. Making his way to the
figure that had alarmed so many way
farers, he found that it was a plant that
grew upon the wall. 1t was the we'll
known phosphoresent fungus, Rhizomos-
pha subterranea, frequently found in
caves and familiar to miners. It's light
is often so vived that people have read
by it.
These curious lights are not found in
the tropics alone. Some years ago Mr..
Morrill,, editor of the Gardiner, (Me.
Journal, wrote me that he had observed
brilliant steady light in his garden at
times, totally unaccounted for by
mechanical contrivance, and which
upon investigation, proved to be the
phosphorescent light emitted by the
young of plant of T Anus Sydticus. Per-
haps the most startling exhibition was
observed several years ago by an English
traveller in Borneo. Belated, he was
overtaken by night, and there being no
moon, he was fearful of losing bis way,
when as the darkness came on, singular
lights appeared here and there in the
bushes and by the roadside. Some were
yellow; others burned, or seemed to,
with bright greenish hue. AS 1t grew
darker, the blaze of light increased, and
finally the traveller was amazed to find
that he was passing through lines of
luminous bush which emitted light
so wondrously brilliant that he could
read his newspaper with perfect ease.
The principal light giving plant,
mechanical in its growth rather than
botanic, IS the electric light plant, thou
sands of which are scattered through
the country. The fruit of the electric
light plant are commonly known as
electric currents.-Ame erican Grocer.

Plants That Give Light.

E1anLS 1naL UlVe AlSuG'
Inc of the early naturalists, Nine.
! rian, think, describes an extraordi-
~ spectacle which she observed in
i Asia. Her party was moving through
forest at night, when, without warn
ing, large light appeared. At first
dim, it increased in size, growing larger
and larger until finally tree was out
lined in a soft pulsating light. The
natives were demoralized, and refused
to approach it, saying it was the sacred
tree of fire. But the naturalist had little
faith in trees of fire and Investigated it,
finding that the light was due to certain
insects, which, by the way, have never
been observed since. That a tree or
plant could give light was deemed fig
ure of the imagination, yet today 1t is
known that light giving plants are not
uncommon, and among the most strik-
ing and remarkable of natural phenom-
ena. Once in returning from days
hunt in the heart of the Adirondack
region l stumbled against q dead limb
of a tree, when, to my amazement, l was
at once surrounded by silvery light
that flew in all directions, like darts and
arrows of fire, each piece burning where
it lay. This was an unusually brilliant
display of the best known of luminous
plants, the 'fox fire." or witches
glow'' of childhood davS.
To the layman it is often mysterious,
as investigation shows nothing but the
decayed wood. and sometimes a soft
pulpy mass. The botanist will soon
point out the light giver in the myce-
lium of some fungus that has perme-
ated the old branch and fairly taken
possession oft, converting it into glori'
Gus spectacle when disturbed. The
vividness of the light may be estimated
when it is known that print can often be
read by 1t, and the light of some has
been known to penetrate through several
thicknesses of paper. Singular to say,
the smallest plant is often the means of
producing the largest luminous effects.
This is the diatom, which the natural.
ist Of the Challenger found floating in
the ocean in vast numbers, and as the
nucleus of the diatom is often brilliantly
phosphorescent some of the most re-
markable displays o. light observed by
the naturalists were occrsioned by these
little plants. But what shall we say to
a sight observed by Norwegian bark in
the Bay of Funchal? The waters here
are fairly alive with these little lumi-
nous plants the year round, and on the
occasion referred to waterspout formed
among them. During the day it would
have attracted little attention, as the
phenomenon is a common one, but the
crew of the ship were suddenly con-
fronted by literal pillar OF IRE or light
that extended upward to distance
seemingly of one thousand feet and
moved along with decided bend 1t

Marketing by Postal.

An interesting scheme is on foot in
England to bring the producer into con-
tact with the consumer IN provisioning
the household. The object OF this move
ment is to do away with many of the
trickeries of trade, and enable the con-
sumer to procure without much trouble
fresh homegrown produce at less price
than is now paid for very inferior ar
ticles. Instead of sending the servant
around to the grocer's or provision mer-
chants, the housewife writes an order
on a postal card and drops it into the
nearest post box. The next day the
goods are delivered at the door. This
entirely dispenses with the mlddleman.
This movement is encouraged by rail-
way com panies, which give every facil-
ity for it's extension. For instance, any
one who wishes to buy farm produce in
this way has only to send to the railway
company's Office for pamphlet which
gives a list of farmers, market gar
deners, and others, who are prepared to
forward farm and garden produce direct
to consumers. Not only are the name
and address given, but the nearest rail-
way station, the description of produce
that can be supplied and whether in
small or large quantities. A very low
freight rate is given, beginning at s
cents for twenty pounds, and boxes are
provided by the railway companies at
cheap cost. A box ten and three-quarter
inches in length, seven and half inches
in breadth, and three inches deep, costs
three cents. This will hold a chicken,
dozen eggs, and a pound of butter.
The largest size, price 10 cents, will
hold sixty pounds weight of goods, and
can be sent by farmer in the eastern
counties and delivered to customer in
London at an inclusive charge of %
cents. The advantage and saving to the
purchaser are obvious, and the enter
prise of the railroad companies is shown
by the fact that under the old rates the
cost of carriage would have been 62
cents. The advantage, of course, to the
railroads is that, having only to deal
with boxes of uniform size, they can
pack their vans better and more expedl-
tiously.-Boston Transcript.

MEXICAN WAGES.
An Illustration That Does Not Illustrate
Labor in Turkey,

An Illustration That Does Not Illustrate
Labor in Turkey.
In one of the financial catechisms for
the infant class passing around the gold
standard press the subject of the wages
OF Mexican laborers is discussed as illus
trating the fate of the workingmen of
the United States should silver win.
Information about the wages of Mex
lean labor is interesting and would be
important if it were pertinent to the
issue.
The true measure of the wages of
labor is it's productive power. 1t was
from this stand point that Mr.. Blaine
made his famous remark to the effect
that labor in the United States was
cheaper than in any country on the
globe because each laborer here pro-
drced several times as much as the
lsborer of any other country.
The explanation of the low wages of
Mexican lahorers is found in this quota
ton from a Mexican newspaper en-
bodied in the catechism referred to:
The laboring classes regard themselves
as plant, which moves by extraneous
aids only, and has no power of volition,
and no desire to exercise it if it had"
The fact is, the Mexican native labor
ers are worth no more than they re-
ceive, and would be worth no more I'M
der any financial system. Much as
President Diaz has done to awaken his
country industrially, the native labor
er's development toward efficiency is
chiefly in the future.
There would be as much justice in
citing the wages and conditions of the
laborers of Turkey or Italy to illustrate
the effect of gold recommendation as to
cite Mexican wages as a sample of the
effect of free-silver coinage.-st. Louis

AS WE SOW, WE REAP.
Country Now Experiences Eject of Part
Ing with Silver In 1873.

=
Ing with Silver In 1879.
Day by day, as failures occur and
stocks go down, it is a favorite thing
for the gold men to attribute these
events to free silver and tell us this is
what it means. Wait until free silver
comes and then judge it by its works,
but in the meantime, our dear gold
standard friends, take your medicine.
You are not experiencing the effects of
the coming of free silver, but are expe-
riencing the legitimate and inevitable
effect of parting with it in 1873. The
hurt to silver, though $30,ooo,ooo a year,
is but the ''fy on the Wheel" When
silver was thrown out of it's work as
money, turned into commodity and re-
duced in price year by year by a con-
stantly increasing and approaching
gold standard, every other product and
commodity was broken down with it.
The whole base upon which all the Sc
curities that Wall street deals in, and
billions more that do not come to Wall
street at all, has been undermined and
crumbled by loss of products ON pro-
duction, by low prices brought on year
by year by the growing STANDARD of
value" that in 1873 was substituted for
our monetary unit of silver. We have
sown low prices in the foundation and
are reaping them in the superstructure.
We are getting, not the coming of silver,
but the legitimate ending in failure of
the gold policy. It has run us to the
limit in our basic operations and now
the enormous and towering structure
of debt built upon labor, now profitless
labor, is feeling the effect of weakened
foundations, that is all. Railroads cut
ting rates until increased business only
means increased deficit, factories piling
up products, Or shutting down, or sell
ing at cost and a little under in order
to prevent deterioration of machinery
by idleness, the disorganizing of work
ing force, and, worst of all, the loss of
channels of trade built up during many
years and now the most valuable part of
their capital, are all experiencing what
the gold policy has done for them and
by and by they will attribute their
troubles ITO the true cause When they
do there will be heavy reckoning.
When silver comes rising prices will
set in and slowly and surely we shall
get back to profit for production, good
times, solvency for all that has not pre-
viously succumbed. But before that
comes a good many industries and in
terests will have persisted by the way

The merchants in every section Of

money at its face in payment of debts
and for goods purchased. All the talk
OF the Canadian banks issuing a notice
that they would make discount here

American money taken Is gold bug

however. The banks of Canada have
always charged a discount on American
money just as the American banks have

GRAND MARAIs. MIMI, SEPT. 10, 1896.

Mai. Baldwin is goldite, but he is
inclined to think that the election of
Bryan is the quickest way by which the
money question will be settled. That's
right. This question is before the peo-
pie to stay until it is settled. II, by
chance, the United States should, by
eleoting Mckinley, declare IN favor of
the perpetuation of the gold standard,
the question then will be no nearer n
settlement than it was before. And the
dissatisfaction and discomfort among the
great masses of the common people
made manifest IN this campaign is not
marker for that which will sweep repub-
licanism from the face of the earth four
years hence.-West Duluth Sun.
