The Era of Science.

This is the time of the year when the
city man longs for and dreams of the
grateful smell of the freshly turned fur>
rows and the singing of the birds in the
trees. But does the CITY man know that
that fragrance of the newly turned sod
is nothing more nor less than millions of
little microbes drawn into the nose, and
that what we call the music of the birds
is only the mechanical process of solnd
waves beating against the drums of our
ears? The scientists tell US these things.
They have even got to the point where
they can make a correct diagram of the
love-throb of a fond heart that is filled
with joy at meeting with Its idol, or
measure precisely tie depth of emotion
that is felt at the unexpected arrival OF
mother-in.law for a seasons visit.
These scientific fellows are taking about
all of the poetry and romance out of
life and making it a dessicated, kiln
dried, sterilized reality.

MODERN SEAMANSHIP.
Marvellous skill Displayed In Some
Recent Buffetings With storms,

The courage, skill and the happy re-
suits of the efforts of the crews of the
PaSonia and Bulgaria to save their
ships furnish two remarkable exhibit
tions of fine seamanship The emperor
of Germany has sent the high order of
Hohenzollern to the master of the Ger
man ship, Captain Schmidt, and the
English board of trade will give dis
tinct expression of their appreciation to
the master of the Pavouia.
These two ships were Knocked about
on the high seas for three weeks helm
less by reason of the breaking down of
machinery and in both cases deprived
of the use of their rudders and with
some of their compartments filled with
water. Nevertheless they were faced
up to the storm, kept afoat and finally
reached port in distress, it is true, but
despite their hardships and perils, with
their passengers and crews alive.
Their story Outrivals the tales of
Cooper, Melville, Clark Russell and
Marryat not because it is merely true,
but by reason that it deals with con-
dition of sea life which those sailors
and writer's had not knit into their
Homeric fctions. These great iron
hulks = machine boxes - with cargo
spaces depending upon bolt or rivet
being disabled, are transformed by the
skill of their sailors into ships that
come to harbor at last and show that
seamanship is no lost art even in this
age of iron, steel and steam. -Philadel-

with his hoe, knocking her down. He
then, with the assistance of three men
carried her to the house, where she lin.
gered until Wednesday and died. Har.

n help SOUTHERN FARMERS
srRFTARY WILSON ON HIS SECOND
TOUR OF THIS SECTION.
Wants to See southern Farmers Raise
Products Enough to Live On and
Able to Hold Their Cotton.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
loft Washington ON his second tour
through the SOUTH
He has Just returned from a trip
through the Carolluas, where he has
hpen Inspecting the experiment of tea
growing in this country. He express
os himself as greatly satisfied with the
results so far, and expresses the belief
that there is certain zone i'll the
.onth where tea can be profitably cul-
tivated in the south and become a big
industry. Already one planter near
SnmmerviIle has fifty acres of black
tea under cultivation which has yield
cd so far 800 pounds, and which he
sold at an average price of one dollar
per pound. The secretary believes
that the department of agriculture is
now in a position to be of great benefit
TO the south, and he intends to do all
in his power to make 1T so. He is es-
pecially interested In getting the
planters of the south interested in
breaking up their crops and planting
a greater variety. He believes that if
the southern farmer can be gotten to
diversity his crop that he will soon be
in more prosperous condition than
farners in any part of the country.
The secretary's trip this time will
take IN Louisiana, Mississippi, Ar.
kansas and Texas. He is going to try
to induce the planters in the lower
Carolinas ard Louisiana to try plant
ing new rice which he has imported
from Japan. He believes that by going
into the farming districts himself he
can induce the planters to experiment
with this new seed, and that it will be
profitable and develop new industry.
He thinks the Bermuda and Easter
lily can be grown in Mississippi as
prOlltiCally as in the Bermudas. He
also has scheme to introduce the
date palm in Texas.
Ihe secretary does not intend to con-
tine himself to experimenting in fruits
and flowers in the south, but has great
hopes of improving the product and
substituting a harder orange than is
now grown in Florida.
" am gong among the southern
Planters myself" he said, "and
study with them the ground. | am
practical, and they will find me so.
want to see the southern farmer raise
products enough to live on, so that he
can walt to sell his cotton. The south
ern sol is rich and adaptable to so
many things that it Is pity TO confine
IL TO one or two big staple products"
Altogether the secretary is enthusi-
SStlc over his projects and beyond
dubt will be able to interest the
southern people in such way, just as
ne has the western, as so be of practi-
cal use to them.
