new discovery are two fuller's earth
mines that have been worked for q
long time One IL known as the Ward
mine and the other ID owned by the
Standard OIL Company. The product
Ia used largely for refining crude oil.
Hitherto these two old mines have
regulated the supply and the price of
the article and enormous profits are
said to have been realized from them.
1t Is estimated that the fuller's earth
found in this new vein can be put on
the market ready for commercial uses
at one third the cost possible from any
other mine.
Some of the more important uses to
which this material is now put, with
excellent results, are the following:
1. In making baby's powders OF
great healing properties for the skin.
2. In refining all kinds Of crude oils
3. For distilling whiskies and brew
ing beer.
4. In the manufacture Of all kinds
Of vaselines.
8. Packing houses use 1t for refining
lards, oleomargarines. butterfnes ant
cottolenes. These commodities caunO1
be made without the use Of fuller:
earth.
6. As a foundation for manufactur
ing all kinds OF laundry and toile
soaps.
Z. A new use recently discovered fol
fuller's earth Is that the wool manu-
facturers wash old wool with 1t, as i
IL a great absorber Of all oils and re
| fuse matter found In raw wool.

oUAlL.hUNTiNG IN EGYPT.
Half q Million a Year Ensnared by
Natives.

Half q Million q Year Ensnared by
Natives.
Much has been said lately Of the cap
protest made by Frenchmen against
carrying the birds across French terri
tory for English use. Until this mat
ter rose nobody seemed to know that
quail existed in Egypt, but they do
by the millions.
The passage Of bands of quail over
the coast Of the delta Of the Nile, from
Port Said to Alexandria, begins In Sep
tember and lasts a month and a half,
the birds arriving in little groups and
alighting ON the dunes.
Generally the chase is made by means
of nets of Ave meters high, which the
natives extend on cords fastened 10
poles, in the fashion Of curtains GID
ing on their rods.
In reality the net is double. The first
near the side Of the sea is Of meshes
very large and loose. but on the back
Is another net where the bird will real
ly come and perch itself In the folds
formed by this second net Of small
meshes. There Is another method of
capture which is more picturesque.
Rows Of dried branches are placed on
the shore. At the foot of each branch
Is disposed a tuft Of fresh herbs, in
the middle of which Is arranged an
| opening which ends In a snare. The
quail, tired by its journey. takes refuge
In the branch, without figuring to itself
that it is going to put itself into q traE
where a native will surprise it and kill

struction. 1t is not astonishing that each
year more than half million Of these
poor little birds are taken.-St. Louis

Electric Fish Of the Nile.

Prof. Francis Gotch describes the
electric fish Of the Nile, Of which the
Egyptians made pictures thousands Of
years ago, and which still inhabits the
waters of that river. as being provided
with an electric organ that enclOses the
whole body. 1t Is situated in the skin.
and when viewed with a microscope is
seen to be composed Of about 1000. .OOl
beautifully formed little disks. super
posed upon connected rows Of minute
compartments in which are the termin-
ais of nerves. The shock is produced
By an intense current which traverses
the entire organ from the head to the
tail Of the fish. returning through the
surroundings. 1t stuns small fish in
the neighborhood. Prof. Gotch likens
it's action to that Of self-loading and
self-discharging gun. The electromo
tive force Of the organ In a fish only
eight inches long can. he asserts. at
tain the surprising maximum Of 20(
volts. A single giant nerve-cell at the
head of the spinal column is the source
Of the impulses which discharge the
organ.

A Thrifty Habit.

"Stinginess Is one thing and an OBJ
servance Of excessive nicely In hnan-
ciaI details Is another" said a Western
man who is worth a good deal Of mOn-
ey. 'As an example l will cite a rich
old uncle I once had. He was a mill
ionaire and not stingy, but he watched
the pennies like q hawk. and he was
20 exacting that everybody said he
was the meanest man in the county:
but he wasn't, for he gave away $1O..
900 q year In various charities that he
would not let the recipients mention.
But to the case In point. One day
asked him for q nickel for car fare
telling him l would return 1t when
got some change. but 1 forgot all about
Il. Three months after that 1t occur
red to the old gentleman to be very
nice to his five nephews and nieces,
and Mt Christmas four Of them received
checks for 5000 each, while mine
was for $l,999.90. 1t was just his
way. don't you see? owed him thai
nickel and he wanted It"

Deposits Of Unusual Purity Discovered
In Florida.
There has just been brought to light
near the OckloclOnee River, fourteen
miles west Of Tallahassee, Fla, what
is believed by experts to be one Of the
most wonderful pure veins Of fuller's
earth ever discovered In any country.
1t is said to yield, at the expenditure Of
very little labor, immense quantities Of
fuller's earth, which stands the 100

besides the valuable commodity. rock.

CHAPTER TX.

There was a welcome hustle of prepar-
alton, for the boat had been successfully
brought along to Stratford and had now
to be provisioned for the resumption Of
our voyage; likewise we had to write our
last letters before bidding good-by to
civilization and once more disappearing
into the unknown. In the midst Of all
this Miss Peggy appears. just q little
breathless.
Say, now. what is your friend like"
she asks, with some eagerness.
What friend?" says Queen Tita.
"Why, Col. Cameron, of course. Is he

before?"
"Yes. that is rather like him. But what
do you mean, Peggy? He isn't come al
ready, is he!
"Well. it can't be he. either" she con
tipues. He wouldn't think of going

mark of Somanism. Many South
ern Baptists deny that doctrine.
The doctrine.that baptiem is essen
tial to salvation appeared shortly
after the apostolic age, and brought
in it's wake a baptism Of necessity:
which, in all ages, has been
commonly performed by aspersion
and effusion. 1t was not long be-
fore the distinctive principle OF
baptism began by this means to be
overthrown. The last man who is
shown to have held and practiced
it was Manus, who wrote a letter to
Cyprian, of Carthage, about the
year 225, in which he appears to
have advocated the Baptist con-
tention. After that date, though
many churches and parties held
and practiced immersion, no record
has ever yet been discovered of
any who held and practiced that
it is essential to baptism until the
Baptists were restored in 164l.
Furthermore, historic testimony
regarding the re-introduction of
immersion in 164l, after the rite
had long been disused, was abun-
dant, definite, circumstantial, con-
sistent and quite as conclusive as
the historic testimony that
Napoleon the First was named
Emperor of France in 1904. 1t is
rejected by our Baptists who are
not Protestants but that is merely
the result of their Substantially
Catholic position"
DR.. :, h.tsitt declared: $50 far
as present research has gone, no
Baptist has been found between
A. D. 255 and 1641, yet the ex-
igencies of the Baptists who are
not Protesrants absolutely re-
quire that a chain of Baptists
shall be demonstrated to exist in
the actual succession for every
day of that period. "

Paper From Cotton. Seed.

Atlanta. Ca, Nov. 22.-The
Journal this afternoon says that
plans have been consumated here
for the erection of ten plants for
cotton seen bulls into paper OF
different grades.
Robert Thomas of New York, at
present in this city, says that the
scheme is being backed by the
National Saw company, with
$5,000,000 capital and that work
will be begun in putting up the
plants in about thirty days. He
says be is also backed by the
Standard Oil company.
1t is the intention to have the
factories scattered we'll throughout
the cotton belt, and they will ex-
lend from Texas to North Carolina.
The plants will run with capacity
OF 125 10 zoo tons each.
