THE cITY.s TRADE LOSS

Mr.. Rudolph Maurer, the well known
grocer, says that the yellow fever farce
has lost thousands of dollars in trade
to this city from the farmers of the
surrounding territory. He says some
of theme are yet of the opinion that
there is yellow fever here and that
they are keeping away from town in
conseouence. He says his trade has
been injured to a great extent and
that If others have suffered in proper
ton, the loss to the city is uncount-
able.
He says, however, that the farmers
are beginning to come to the city now
and that he don't think it will be long
before the trade is revived again.

Stranger still. it was first sung in the
streets Of Baltimore by IA lad Of II

the NIB trdment of Fort Mcilenry.

Another boy--James Lawrenson-
sung it before the Office door, and Se-
fore night printed copies were dis
tributed all over the town.
The boy who sung it also adapted
the tune to it. He sang it for eighty
years, as boy and man, and declared
that he never sang the doxulogy with
greater z al. He died ut the age OF
96. and to his la hour would call for

Do Rocks Grow Z?


The question in the headline is Of.
ten asked, and not infrequently by
scholarly people too. By way of a
general answer to all such questions we
would say that the best authorities
have come to this conclusion: The
rocks do not grow in the sense that
plants do. They may increase in size
by means of accretion, and they may
also undergo other changes. Old sea
beds lifted up and exposed for ages be.
come stratified beds of sandstone OF
limestone; volcanic ashes and lava
strewn over hills and plains become
tufa hard enough for building stone,
and the pebbly shores of rivers and
smaller streams may sometimes
change into conglomerates. The
simple mineral, however, does grow
especially when it takes upon itself the
form of crystal. A sparkling prism
of quartz increases from an atom to q
monster crystal of varying length and
size by what geologists know as 9
process of addition and assimilation
This process is wonderfully slow, but
with a mathematical exactness that
is surprise to persons even "well up
in the science of geology. In one
sense stones grow, in another they dc
not. The crystal may become longer
and longer, but the boulder on the
roadside will not increase a hairs
breath in length or width in the next
10000 years.

An Orange Battery.

During lecture on the subject of
shovel Electrical Experiments" de-
livered before the South African
Philosophical society by A. P. Trot-
ter, government electrician and in
spector, the lecturer rang up the Cape
Town telephone exchange and asked
if any of the longer postofice tele-
graph lines were clear. The Port
Elizabeth line was then connected
up and the lecturer, observing that
with the extremely sensitive instru-
ments used in the government Of
fees it was not necessary to use
ordinary electric batteries for the
signaling to such distance as Point
Elizabeth, disconnected the battery
commonly employed, and, plunging a
steel knife and silver fork into an
orange, sent telegraphic signals by
means of the feeble currents thus
generated. He then asked the front
row of audience to join hands, and
putting them in the circuit, sent
signals through their bodies to Port
Elizabeth and back by means OF the
orange cell.
