Apple Business.

Speculation in the apple business is
now at its height in this county. Numer-
Gus dealers representing various apple
firms are making this city their head
quarters and go about in different parts
of the county every day and buy apple
crops. Sometimes they buy the entire
crop of an orchard and sometime only a
part Of it. The apple growing business
is getting to be great thing and since
the unprecedented success in the business
this year, many OF the farmers are talk
ing of stopping raising wheat and corn
and planting their land out in apples. Il
costs something to buy and plant out the
trees and nurse them while they are grow
ing, but when they are large enough e
bear fruit the money taken in is almost
clear profit and there is big money in it.
lnwood seems to be the chief apple
shipping point in the county and from
there alone more than sixty-three carloads
have been shipped already this season and
yet the shipping season has hardly com
menced. One car holds from r5o to 72s
barrels of about three bushels each. The
shipping is held back now by the insuih.
cient number Of cars. They are being
loaded as fast as they arrive and enough
of them cannot be secured to haul the
apples as they arrive at the station.

BREADTH OF LIGHTNING
How a Flash Makes a Case Its Elk
act Size.

did you ever see the diameter of a
lightning flash measured?" asked a
geolugist. We'll, here is the case which
once enclosed a flash of lightning, fit
ting it exactly, SO that you can see just
how big 1t was. This is called full
gurite,' or lightning hole and the ma
terial it is made of is glass. | will tell
you how it was manufactured, though
1t only took a fraction of a second to
turn it out.
when a bolt of lightning strikes a
bed of sand it plunges downward into
the sand for distance less or greater,
Transforming simultaneously into a
glass the silica in the material through
which it passes. Thus, by it's great heat
1t forms a glass tube of precisely its
own size. Now and then such a tube
known as 'fulgurite' is found and dug
up. Fulgurites have been followed into
the sand by excavation for nearly thir-
ty feet. They vary in interior diameter
from the size of quill to three inches
or more, according to the bore of the
flash.
But fulgurites are not alone pro-
duced in sand; they are found also In
solid rock, though very naturally oil
slight depth, and frequently existing
merely as a thin, CLASSY coating on the
surface Such fulgurites occur in as
tonishing abundance on the summit OF
Little Ararat, in Armenia. The rock is
soft and SO porous that blocks a foot
long can be obtained and perforated in
all directions by little tubes filled with
bottle green glass formed from the
fused rock. There is a small specimen
in the national museum which has the
appearance of having been bored by
the teredo, and the holes made by the
worm subsequently filled with glass.
Some wonderful fulgurites were
found by Humboldt ON the high Nevada
de Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of the
rock were covered with thin layer OF
green glass. Its peculiar simmer in
the sun led Humboldt to ascend the
precipitous peak at the risk of his life. =

A Great English stateman's Secret.

The secret OF a celebrated English
statesman's long life was his systematic
way of eating. Every bite of bread was
chewed thirty times before swallowing.
The result was he naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men and women bolt their
food, and eat things which were never in
tended to be eaten. They become costive,
have bad complexion, lose flesh, are ir-
ritable and nervous, and the first thing
they know they are PLAYED out. 1t is
gratifying to know that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters cures stomach troubles.
1t is purely vegetable medicine that has
stood the test of many years. 1t cures
cases which seem 10 be hopeless. Suffer
ers from any disorder of stomach, liver or
bowels should trvit.
