There is inquiry for our town prop

here. Retiring business men and
farmers are constantly turning this
way to find a pleasant place. Farm
ers who prefer to give up their large
acres are coming here and working
farm gardens on the intensive system,
with profit. There are good loca-
tions, both town and suburban, that
can be had. If the owners would
make it known by the use of printers
ink, there would be two parcels sold
to every one as at present. There is
room for enterprise in this line.

Light From sugar.

A phenomenon, the cause of which
has not yet been satisfactorily explain
ed, was described at meeting of the
British association. Disks of loaf sugar
were mounted on a lathe and rapidly
rotated whit a hammer played lightly
against them. An almost continuous
radiation of light was thus produced
from the sugar, 1t was shown that the
light did not arise from heating of the
sugar, and it is believed to be caused
by some change taking place in the
sugar crystals The act of crystalliza
ton is known to be sometimes accom-
panied by flashes of light. The practi-
cal bearing of these experiments is on
the question of the possibility of obtain
ing artificial light by methods as yet
untried. Youth Companion.
