seems to us that great deal Of
profit could be derived from a
meeting held at least once each
month, say on Saturday afternoons

Here are some suggested sub
Jects which we should like very
much to hear: Potato Raising on

Irrigated districts, Care of Pasture

The celebration here on the
Fourth was one of the grandest
that ever was held at this place.
Everything passed off harmonious
ly from first to last. People
from all over the country came
to help make merry the grand
national holiday.
The sport of the day wound up
with grand ball at night given
by Phillips 6 Dawson. An elegant
supper was served by Mr.. West

Miss Ida McGee, both of Peyt ton,

Light from sugar.

A phenomenon, the cause OF which
has not yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned. was described at the last
meeting OF the British association.
Disks of loaf sugar were mounted on
lathe and rapidly rotated while q
hammer played lightly against them.
An almost continuous radiation Of
light was thus produced from the su-
gar. 1t was shown that the light did
not arise from heating of the sugar,
and 1t is believed to be caused by
some change taking place in the su-
gar crystals. The act of capitalization
is known to be sometimes accompanied
by flashes of light. The practical bear
Ing of these experiments Is on the
question of the possibility OF obtaining
artificial light by methods as yet un-
tried.

led to careful examination by DIR. H.
