knowledge Of some of the more minute
details Of ancient plant structure.
The coasts Of the Baltic are, and have
been from the days of the Phoenician
traders, the great source OF the amber
Of commerce. 1t occurs In rolled frag-
ments In strata known to biologists as
oligoceney These are tertiary rocks Of
date little more recent than those OF
the London basin, and equivalent to the
younger tertiary series OF the Isle OF
Wight. The fragments of fossil resin
were washed down by the rivers from
the pine forests Of the district along
with sediments and vegetable debris.
In them are found most perfectly pre-
served remains Of the period, as well
as OF insect life. Fragments of twigs,
buds and flowers. with sepals. petals,
stamens and pistils still in place. oc-
cur. Pollen grains have likewise been
found. A recent genus, deutzia, has
been recognized by. its characteristic
stamens; the valves Of the antlers OF
cinnamomum are seen in others. In
one specimen the pendant catkin of n
species of oak is seen as distinctly
through the clear amber as II 1t were
a fresh flower. And beside the insect
and plant remains thus sealed up in
amber stray relics Of the higher fauna
of the forest have also been met with.
Fragments of hair and feathers have
been caught in the sticky resin and pre-
served. Among others a wO0dpecker
and squirrel have been recognized in
the Baltic amber.-Gentleman Maya

FACTS AeouT COTTON.
The Money 1t Has Brought Into the
South In Nineteen Years.

The Money 1t Has Brought Into the
South In Nineteen Years.
A study Of the crop figures will show
that seven years successfully increas-
ing crops from 1856 to 1912 were
unprecedented i'm the history Of trade.
IT is doubtful IL any leading crop raised
seven years. Jumping from 100000
bales in 1850 there was practically
no hating until 1912, when the yield
was 9,O35, 900 bales--a gain of 3,3OO,O 600
bales, or nearly 80 per cent. advance in
seven years.
In nineteen years cotton has brought
the South over $6,OOO,OOO, OOO--a sum
so vast that the profits out of it ought
to have been enough to greatly enrich
that section. Unfortunately, however,
the system necessitated by the cOndi-
tons prevailing Immediately after the
war, Of raising cotton only and buying
provisions and grain in the West, left
but little, il any, surplus money out Of
the cotton crop. The West and North
drained that section Of several hundred
million dollars every year, because it
depended upon them for all Of its man
ufactured goods, as well as for the bulk
of it's food stuffs.
Hence, of the enormous amount re-
ceived from cotton, very little remained
i'm the South. The increase In the di-
versification of farm profits, the raising
Of home supplies, the. development Of
trucking and the building Of factories
are all uniting to keep at home the
money which formerly went North and
West Whether the cotton raiser HIM
self be getting the full benefit Of this
or not, the South ut large Is necessarily
doing so. The increase In the atten-
ton given to grain cultivation Is Illus
trated by the fact that the South's grain
crop of 1894 was Gil 100000 bushels,
valued at $780,, 900, 600, or more than the
value of it's entire cotton crop, and the
yield for 1895 will probably exceed
these figures by at least 5O,OOO,000
bushels.
The Importance of cotton in our for
eign trade relations can be realized
from the simple statement that since
1875 our exports of this staple have az.
gregated In value $4,OOO,OOO,OOO, While
the total exports Of wheat and -four
combined for the same period have been
about $4,000, 100000, showing a differ
ence Of $1,4OO, OO0,O 600, or over so per
cent. In favor Of cotton. Moreover,
during the same period, we have ex-
ported about $2O,OO0,OO0 Of manufac-
tured cotton goods, making the total
value really $4,000, 100000. Compared
with the exports Of wheat, -four and
corn combined-the value of which
since 1875 has been about $3,200,0 OO,-
0OO-there Is difference In favor Of
cotton Of 81, 900, 100000.
Going back to 1920, 1t is found that
the total value OF -four and wheat ex-
ported for the last seventy-four years
is, In round figures $4y00O,O00, 900, or
100000, 900 less than the value Of the
cotton exported during the last nine
teen years.-Harper's Weekly.

Water SCOOP Accident.

The accident to the water SCOOP on
the New York Centraps locomotive
which prevented the Empire State ex-
press from making record, says the
New York Mail and Express, recalls the
first experience Of the officials Of that
road with that device.
General Manager Toucey and Super
intendent Of Motive Power Buchanan
undertook to try the method, and the
latter agreed to run the locomotive on
the occasion of the test, while the for
mer was to stand ut point where the
water trough began, so as to enable the
fireman to drop the scoop at the right
time. Mr.. Buchanan moved his en-
CINE along, and when that point of the
track was reached abreast of Mr..
Toucey the scoop was lowered. Instead
of scooping up water the device tore
up the ground and created a small
sized sensation among the Unlocking
officials. 1t was afterward discovered,
on investigation, that the scoop work
ed all right, but that Mr.. Toucey had
inadvertently moved down the track
and forgot to return to his assigned
point Mr.. Buchanan subsequently
tried the scoop again, but he took pains
that 1t was dropped ut the right time.
| Another instance of a similar nature
is recalled of an inquisitive yardmaster
of an Eastern line who wanted to see
howsa' water scoop worked and got on
the blind end Of a baggage car next
fbo fapdar IN v,,aka his ohaarvn tiOna
The train struck the scoop going at full
speed, the engineer not slowing down
because he was behind time, but more
especially because he was aware Of the
yardmaster's presence on the platform
behind him. For two hundred yards n
perfect avalanche of water plowed up
between the tender and car, hair
drowning the enthusiast on water
scoops.

leap to fame is the story OF foul
crime. Don Lorenzo Martinez, of San
tn Fe, owns and operates an extensive
cattle and horse ranch mt OjO de In
Baca Cow Springs, in the southeast
ern part of the county. Last January
his sons, Tomas and MaximilianO, were
there looking after their fathers inter-
ests. On Thursday morning, Jan. II,
Tomas, the older of the young men,
started away from the ranch on horse.
back In quest Of missing cattle. He
was mounted on good horse, had a
first-class saddle and bride; was well
armed and had an excellent equipment
OF blankets and warm clothing. Car
los, who was accustomed to such trips,
eagerly followed his master. AS the
young man rode away he told MaxiDil-
ianO that he would be back ON Sunday
afternoon.
Tomas Martinez never returned. On
Tuesday morning, when Maximiliano
was becoming anxious about his miss.
ing brother, Carlos limpcd back to the
homestead and fell exhausted on the
threshold. There was CHASTITY wound
In his head, and his limbs were CULVER,

blood, hunger and exposure. Water

greedily. 1t seemed to restore his
strength. for he parked, ran out Of the
house again, looked around at the
younger Martinez, and barked again,
more loudly. Yes! yes! l will come

Maximiliano, whose fears We're now

people soon came to learn that by the
payment of fee they would be able To
pray more in five minutes than they could
hope TO do all their lives in any other way,
and the incomes of the temples waxed
great and the priests grew fat, for
wealthy men, well able to pay, but unwill-
ing TO work at the wheel, sent their SER
wants to do the turning, looking in occa-
sionally TO see that the job was being
properly done. The wheels were kept
going day and night, and the demand for
them became so much greater than the
supply that another improvement result
ed. A monastery in Thibet was situated
beside mountain stream, and it occurred
one day 70 the priests that it would be
good idea to rig up the prayer wheels
with water-power attachment, let the
water do the turning, and credit one who
paid money into the treasury with so much
time of the wheel The idea was found
10 be both brilliant and practical; Il water
wheel was made, the prayer wheels placed
in position over it, the apparatus was set
in motion, to the immense satisfaction Of
everybody concerned. The people were
satisfied because they could do their pray
ing with far greater ease. having only to
pay and not to work; the priests were con-
tent for all the time of the wheels was
fully taken up, and sometimes rich devo-
tees paid in sums so large as to engage
the services of the wheels for years at n
time. Thus it is that in North India, Thi-
bet and China to-day water wheels are ut
work day and night, grinding out prayers
for the people.
The question of revenue is thus seen TO
play avery important part in heather
temples. and the wits of the priests of
Buddha are often racked to the utmost
TO provide wherewithal to carry on the
business. In some temples of South India
the intelligence of the elephant is utilized
tn raise funds. and on great festivals an
elephant. trained to the work, goes to and
fro among the worshipers. holding bas-

buttons from the faithful He gets some

plant deacon was making his rounds. and
he stopped before them holding out the

They were loath to give anything, but

every one got out his pocket-book. 1t

Story OF n Careful Man.

He was a careful and thoughtful
man; in fact, it may be said that he
was an extremely careful and thought
full man.
He was resting comfortably In his
easy-chair with his feet resting on a
footrest when he discovered that his
pencil needed sharpening. Any other
man would have taken out his knife
and begun work at once, but he was
too thoughtful for that; also too care
full.
He sighed, got up out of his chair and
went across the room for little waste
paper basket that was standing in the
corner. Then he returned to his seat
in the easy chair and placed the basket
on the floor between his legs.
His wife smiled Approvingly, and he
felt proud of himself.
He opened his knife, leaned over his
basket and began work on the pencil.
ut Is Just as easy to be careful and
thoughtful" he said, as he detached
the first shaving from the end Of the
pencil.
/ Tt is" replied his wife, as she fol-
lowed the shaving with her eye and
saw 1t go over his shoulder and land on
the carpet behind him.
But why continue? There are few
who have not tried to sharpen pencil
over small basket In some moment Of
temporary insanity.
When he had finished there were
three shavings in the basket and the
rest were on the floor.
That is usually the way 1t happens

Queer Facts About Air.

The celebrated chemist of the six
teenth century who argued that Ii
would be impossible for us to live on
the earth's surface IL the atmosphere
would suddenly increase to twice its
present thickness could not have been
far wrong after all; that is, IL the OK
periments of DR.. Arnott are to be taken
as conclusive. In his observations on
atmospheric pressure at the bottoms Of
the deep mining shafts of Europe, Prof.
Arnott has found that the change be-
tween the readings Of n barometer at
the bottom Of n ur-thousaud- foot
shaft and one at the surface Is great
enough to warrant him in making the
statement that air at the bottom of a
shaft twenty miles deep would be rs
dense as water. Figuring on the same
ratio he finds that IL hole could be
sunk forty miles into the bowels OF the
earth the density of the air at the hot
tom would be as great as that of quick
silver.

The Tuber Discussed from . ectontific
snd Culinary View.
John Gilmer Speed. DIR. Cyrus Edison
(ex-president of the New York Board
of Healthy and Mrs. &. Il. Rorer learn
edly discuss ''The Potato as a Daily
Diet" In the Ladies' Home Journal,
and pretty conclusively prove that the
humble but popular tuber is not
healthful article Of food. Mr.. Speed
asserts that the potato as food Is not
nearly so valuable as we have very gen.
orally esteemed 1t to be. 1t IL quito
deficient In nitrogen, and as q sole diet
is therefore unsuitable. 1t Is hard to
digest and therefore should be par
taken Of very sparingly by all save
those who live active lives out-of-doors.
The potato provokes our great
national ailment, dyspepsia, and the
sooner the consumption Of the mealy
tuber begins the sooner will The dread
fangs Of the dyspepsia appear.
DIR. Edison In a rejoinder to Mr.. Speed
writes: / must quite agree with Mr..
Speed In his condemnation of the pota-
to. am sorry to have to say anything
against the humble tuber, but the truth,
especially when 1t Is scientific, and
more especially Misunderstanding, must
be told. 1t is certain no one can at all
times eat the potato with the assurance
that 1t will do him no harm.
The practice Of feeding potatoes to in
fants and young children cannot be too
severely condemned. A potato diet
may not kill them outright at once, but
1t Is certain to injure their digestive
organs permanently and effectually, SO
as to make their lives burden to
themselves and those who are brought
In contact with them. DIR. Edison also
contends that the potato is very def
cient in nutritive qualities, and has less
value as an article Of food than most
other vegetables and cereals.
Mrs. Roror writes: 1 am not po-
tatO prohibitionist, but firmly believe
that potatoes should be served only
with strongly-concentrated heterogeneous
food, such as roasted beef, or, for the
vegetarian, with beans, peas or lentilS
