Washington dispatch, 10: The August
repor: Of the department of agriculture
shows tie following average conditions
for August l: Corn, $40; spring wheat,
sG.7; spring rye, 1913; oats, Sc; barley, S1.5;
buckwheat. $40; tobacco, 1871: Irish po-
~tatoes, ,1.9.
These estimates are considerably low
er than those given II month ago. Fol
instance, wheat Il month ago was rated
at 9o.2, THIS month at SG.7, a falling off
Of 4.5 points, whatever that may mean.
1t is unfortunate for the ordinary reader
that the government does not explain its
system or basis Of making estimates,
whereby percentages As compared with
40 average crop for q certain number OF
years, or an average fixed at q certain
number OF bushels per acre for all time,
or if only compared with the crop of the
former year. II people knew just what
this test standard was they would have
a more intelligent idea as to just what
these varying estimates meant. All We
know is that it Is something more or les'
than some other standard formerly Civ
gu. In this report, however, 1t gives
little additional information by stating
in regard to wheat that although a.
points lower than last month, it's condi
ton is 7.S points higher than August
1896 and as points higher than the Az
gust average for the last ten years
There was a decline Of 8 points in Mime
sofa, II in South Dakota, 5 in North DE-
kota and one in Nebsaska for the pas
month.

LIGHT in a Birds Eye.

A taxidermist at Northwcod, N. T.,
has been making experiments as to the
effect of light reflected in a birds eye.
A glass seven or eight inches in diam
eter has been found most serviceab!e.
The antics of blue jays are remarkable
when the light strikes them as they sit
in the shade of an evergreen tree. They
jump to another branch and try to look
into the light, but they have to turn
away, as the light dazzles them. Then
they fly around the reflector. but after
practice one is able to keep the light
always on them, and the birds not in
frequently come within reach of a
mans hand. A ruffed grouse gives a
startled look when the light strikes it.
Then it jumps, and away it goes.
Hawks, too, are usually startled or an

A LOST SWEETHEART.
By CHARLES APPLEBEE.

He was a tall, broad-shouldered fell
Now of less than 30, with twinkling blue
eyes, and as he stepped aboard the
old Shackamaxon at the New York
barge office one hot June day to go to
Ellis island, where immigrants are re-
~ceived, his face wore a look of pleased
expectancy and his step was quick and
springing.
An hour or SO later, when he stepped
off the ric]<ety old ferryboat, his eyes
had lost their luster, the buoyancy of
his manner had disappeared almost
completely, and the smile on his face
was superseded by thoroughly puz-
zled expression. But there was no in
decision or dilly-dallying in his move
ments. He was in such hurry to
leave the boat that he got in the way
of the deckhands when they were adj
.justing the gang plank, and, in spite of
their vigorously repeated advice to
take time enough" he was on the dock
almost before the plank was in place.
If you have ever frequented the New
York barge office you will remember
that it is rather picturesque gray

ten island ferryhouse at the Battery

part of the ground floor is used for the
temporary storage of baggage, land the
remainder is occupied by an employ
unent bureau, conducted without cost
to such applicants for work as are new
Wy landed immigrants. It was to this
bureau the young man fastened with
long strides, and his face wore so
strained a look when he appeared before
the superintendent as to startle that
official, in spite of his familiarity with
distracted individuals in search of their
friends.
