One Of the Kaiser's Jokes,

There are many good anecdotes about
the German emperor. and it must be
owned that they all prove the kaiser to
have no small amount of humor. The
following. which comes from Herr
Ehlers, the traveller, is smarter than
most. The emperor and Ehlers were
college chums from Bonn, and the en-
peror never forgot his old college stu.
dent. At Bonn. on special occasions,
the different corps used to drink to one
another, and the following set form was
always used: The president of the Pala.
tia corps raises his glass, saying, 81
have the great honor and pleasure to
empty my glass in drinking to the corps
of Borussia. >" The president of the lat.
ter corps then replies, THE corps
thanks and drinks" On the birth Of
one of the sons of the emperor Ehlers
telegraphed him, II have the great

A Drought Resisting Plant.

The chief reason why alfalfa hay will
grow in tho short grass country is that
it has long roots. They have been known
to strike % feet deep for moisture. The
plant will not thrive, therefore, in soil
that is not open and deep. An ideal
place fer its growth is along the river
bottoms in the western part of Kansas
land under which great lakes of "sheet
water" miles upon miles in extent. are
found from 10 to IS feet below the sur
face. The roots of alfalfa readily push
down to the water and drink when they
need moisture, and the result is that
the plant blossoms and prospers and be.
comes q never failing source of revenue
to the man who cultivates it. On the
rolling uplands. where there is scarcely
an average rainfall of % inches a year,
the plant will live and produce hay
nearly always. 1t makes good pasturage
under ordinary conditions there and is
almost certain every year to produce q
fine crop Of seed. All the uplands are
fertile enough, the only trouble about
making use of that fertility being the
lack Of moisture. Irrigation has not yet
succeeded in bringing water in album.

the soil in this region, and therefore

The Heat Of the Sun.

According to the best authorities. less
than one thousand. millionth part of the
suns rays reaches the earth. It Is for.
tunate that this is SO, as any consider.
able concentration Of the rays upon our
planet would speedily destroy it, Ac.
cording to the same account. il all of
the ice at the north pole were so piled
that the heat of the sun could he focused
on it, it would dissolve at the rate Of
800, 600, 600 miles of solid ice per sec
ond. The heat is estimated to gcner.
ate energy at the rate of 1000 horse.
power to every square foot Of space.
The beginning Of the radiation of heat
from the sun must date back something
like 100, 600, 600 years. Like everything
else, it had its start and must have its
finish. 1t may continue for Is, 900, 600
or 10000, 900 years longer. but there
is limit and it must be reached. One
cannot but wonder at the condition of
the universe at that time and what will
come after New York Ledger
