WHY The SOUTHERN FARMER
IS LESS PROSPEROUS THAN
HIS WESTERN BROTHER.

The following suggestive article from
the Sce tland Neck Commonwealth
may help you to solve this vexing
problem. It is as follows:
The South is truly land of great
resources, but it can never make it's
best developments under the present
system of buying from other markets
so much that ought to be raised here
at bone.
THE Commonwealth has all the
while insisted upon home independ-
ence, and we still urge it. We take it
that Scotland Neck is an average mar
ket for corn, meal, mea5, etc. Notic-
ing a broker han ding a large quantity
OF hay few days ago, we asked from
what point il was shipped. He an
swered that he supposed it grew in
Michigan.
Then the inquiry came as to how
much stuff is shipped to Scotland Neck
every J ear, which ought to be raised
by our OWN farmers. From good eu
thority we have it that thas the ship,
ments here for the twelve months end
ing May 1, 1899. were ss follows:
'Grain, Is $50 bushels.
Meal, 13 476 bushels.
Flour. 2 855 barrels.
Meat, 624 O86 pounds
Hay, at least 20 carloads.

The Iniustice Of nistory.

The explorer may be lost not only in
whdernesses or in ocean wastes. but
also in the depths of archives or out-of-
the-way corners of libraries, where his
unpublished records are slowed away,
forgotten, buried almost beyond human
ken until some delving antiquarian
turns over the musty and yellow pages
and becomes discoverer himself Here
Is an illustration or two of this inter
esting fact.
We know that the smallest of the
continents, Australia, is separated from
the second largest island in the world,
New Guinea, by Torres Strait. The Ia
nous Capt Cook thought he had made
great discovery in 1870 when he
sailed through this strait and thus
proved that New Guinea was separated
from Australia, though on the maps
the island was shown as a part of the
continent. The fact Is, however, that
more than 15O years earlier the forgot
ten Spanish pilot Torres had made this
same discovery; and the Spaniards had
so long concealed it as a state secret in
their archives at Manila that they had
forgotten all about it themselves. One
day late in the last century, when Eng
land was at war with Spain and had
seized Manila, an inquisitive man nam
ed Dalrymple improved the chance to
poke around among the archives, and
his most interesting discovery was this
record Of Torres work. If the Eng
/ lish had not been masters of Manila for
while the truth about this important
discovery might have been left for us
to reveal. But the laurels were finally
given to the man who had won them
and this is how 1t happened that. gen
erations after his death, the waters
which separate the continent for the
island came TO be known as Torres
strait.-Harpers Round Table.

stnr Distnnce.

The stars are so enormously remote
that astronomers reckon their distance
from MS in light years; that is, in
the number of years it takes their light
to reach us, flashing through space at
the rate OF over $4,000 miles a second.
For example: The distance of one of
the nearest Of the stars, 81 Cygni. star
of the fifth magnitude in the Swan
(Cygnus), or Northern Cross, is seven
and a quarter light years.
The distance of this star may also
be given as 400 900 times that of the
sun. In neither way of reckoning do
the figures convey much meaning. A
much more vivid impression of the
vastness OF the interval which sepa-
rates this star from US is derived from
the fact that the star is double-that a
telescope separates ii into two stars
and that calculation shows that these
/ two stars, or suns, which to the naked
eye, and even through a field glass, ap
pear as a single star, are really BOOT
million miles apart SO far away ar'
these two stars that this interval be
tween them shrivels to nothingness, a.
Judged by the naked eye. And yet 81
Cygni is one of the nearest Of th'
stars.

At sight of the great little nan his
knees smote together, his tongue cleay-

seemed paralyzed. He was unable to
utter a word. Gould requested him to
be seated and ventured a commonplace
or two to reassure him. Then: We'll,
young man, I hear you want an In
