The earth is the resulto an explosion that occurred upon the sun, some scientists estimate thirty millions of years ago. When this explosion occurred the sun was most likely in gaseous state and the violence was sufficient to throw the earth far enough away to come within the range of gravital attraction of others planets, consequently what is now the earth did not fall back into the sun from which it had been thrown. Other planets have been caused by the same source; for instance, the moon and Mars. If 3 ball should be shot out of cannon with sufficient force to land it upon Mars, if the inha bitants of that planet should use the same word in naming it as we do they would call it "meteorite" 1" If however,, the ball should only have sufficient velocity to carry it say half way to Mars 1t would then come to stop at point where it would be acted upon by the attraction Of all surrounding planets, consequent ly it would fall upon neither. but would immediately take on motion or orbit of it's own, when it would be- come a true planet, just as our earth is.

Wood Ashes to Proven. Abortion.

 i is the opinion of many old farmers. that the increase of abortion in cows fs in part due to the lack of wood ashes, which so long as the country was new were always plentiful when brush and stumps had been burned on newly cleared land Cows with calf were al- ways fond of licking the soil around these old ash beds and eating the charcoal which they found there. All wood ashes contain some phosphate, and this may have been needed to fur nish bone material for the growing foe tus. Or it may be that the ashes pre- vented the bad effects of the fermenta- tion of food in the stomach, by cor recting the acidity which it generally causes.

 The other passengers, all men, save one old woman in black, were too en- grossed to notice anything, for it was commercial train, and there were cards and political talk, and mercan- tile prevarications to engross them.

Old Hunter Tells the Difference Between a
Buffalo Herd in His Day and one Now.

Gazing on the scraggy Of
buffalo in an inCloSuro at Glen island,
a Colorado tourist i'm the East said:
They are b%uffaloes, | don't dispute
that. but they are not the kind that used
to make the West look like a moving
sea. I reckon you have head "A good
deal about extinct buffalo. Ten years
ago / heard that the last buffalo had
been killed-thc last not in captivity.
But the buffalo. like the Indian, dies
hard. And I read about the last Indian
long before / began shedding my hair.
There is a herd Of buffalo i'm Colorado
that has been knocking about for 50
years at least. and a man in that state
who has made buffalo a life study tells
me he knows of two herds. In 1865
there was a big herd in the country
known as Middle park. As the country
was settled by whites the buffalo fell
back. Hunters followed that herd 10
Milk river. but in the winter of 1875 the
weather was so severe that the hunters
gave up the chase. That was the great
snow winter in Colorado. Tn snow vas
SO deep that buffalo Couldn't get around.
That's an actual fact. But il never gets
too deep for Indians. That winter a
band of Indians went after the buffalo
and killed more than could be brought
away. Next spring a lot Of whites went
out and get the tallow from the dead
buffalo and made money out Of il.
THE white hunters brought back the
news that the indian had killed every
buffalo in the herd. Blu that was like
other buffalo stories. \ few weeks later
"A herd was found on the headwaters Of
Troublesome river. 1t was a part of the
herd which was s~nowbound. White
hunters killed some of this herd n
brought the meat to market and got into
trouble for it. because there is a law
against killing buffalo i'm Colorado. This
law operates against "A white man. but
an Indian can hunt and Kill anything
he likes and the law never touches him.
The last man ] saw who had seen
buffalo in Colorado told me hat he had
counted 10 buffalOes upon the North
Park slope. That was four years ago.
Think Of it, He had seen buffalo, be

From the London Mail.
A remarkable understandable both
for its beauty and the circumstances
under which IL was discovered by an
adventurous plant hunters on view
at the Temple show. The Acalypha
Sanderi, which IL is called. halls from
New Guinea. 1t was found by mr.
MicholitZ, the famous plant hunter,
who also discovered the new moth or
child growing out of skeletons of Pap
uans, which lay bleaching in the sun.
Mr.. MicholitZ was travelling in a remote
district of New Guine inhabited by
fierce cannibals, when he came across a
beautiful Towering plant, which spranG
up not only from the ground, but from
the ops of the mud huts of the natives.
The expedition was of sufficient
strength to overawe the avages and
Mr.. Micholitz, delighted at his discov-
cry, caused several specimens to be
collected. So sure was he that their
beauty would cause a furore in Eng
land that he accompanied the consign-
ment over $500 miles to Singapore. in
order to see that the plants were safely
dispatched from that port.
The A~calypha Sanderi is a green
leaved species with spikes of gorgeous
crimson flowers hanging from every
node. These beautiful floral spikes ar,
from 20 to 80 inches long. and as thick
as an ordinary walking stick. A plant
so striking in appearance has not been
introduced to the civilized world since
the Victoria Regia was transported
from its African home. All the year
round ii sends forth it's glowing pend
ants. and as it's initial cost will be
small, it is likely to be popular with
those of modest purses who love the
presence Of floral beauties.
Technically, the new plant is claimed
t. belong to the family of emphorbiac-
cae, which includes Hevae and Mani
hot. two Of the caoutchouc trees. and
the croton oil and castor oil plants are
the other two of it's kindred. Where a
startling and beautiful effect is want
ed, as in Conservatives, planthouses,
large staircases, there are few growths
in the plant world that can equal il.
Easy of growth, requiring but little
culture or attention, and p~erpetually
Towering, when a more domesticated
name is bestowed on the Acalypha
Sanderl, London and it's suburbs may
expect to be lit up with the blood red
lances of the New Guinea plant.

FRESH WATER FROM SAND DUNES
Curious sources of supply Along the sea-
coast of Holland.

From the Baltimore Sun
Consul Corey of Amsterdam. in the
July consular reports. makes the curl
Gus statement that the water supply Of
that city Is being obtained from the
sand dunes bordering the sea in the vi
cinity. The dunes consist of sand
blown up into ridges from the beach,
having a height near HARLEM Of about
20 feet and a width Of about two and
a half miles. The fresh water they
contain H. supposed to come chiefly
from the rainfall. Not only is the wa
ter in the dunes fresh above sea level.
but it is perfectly fresh also to a depth
of So feet below the sea level. The wa
ter in the immediate neiEhborhood is

the sand some way renders the sea
water fresh. but IL is more ineligible
To find the source Of the fresh water Of

are a vast reservoir of fresh water.
which is being collected for Amster-

feet beneath the surface and by means
Of open canals. For HaarIem the water
is collected in wells So feet below sea
level. There is some doubt. however.
as TO the ~permanency OF tn supply II
too largely drawn upon. Wells some
times give fresh water for a whIl and
afterwards turn salty. The occurrence
Of fresh water on small low islands and
on sandy beaches has long been A curl

works Of Amsterdam may throw some
light.

he pleased on the colored man. but his
blows lacked force and had no more

make him laugh. In the third round
Hayes started i'm and had the Kid going
