A very large proportion of our citi- zens will be surprised to learn that Prescott numbers among her citizens q lady of considerable renOwn for her literary attiinments, and one who is a regular contributor to magazines for young folks. This lady is Mrs. H. D. Ross, who writes over the name of Maggie Wheeler Ross for St. Nicholas, Little Folks and other magazines for children, commanding good price for her productions. Her productions are entirely poetical and she has re- gently disposed of two of them in Eng land, where they have been published. She has engaged in this work for some three or four years, achieving great success, and considerable fame among publishers. Her poems are of very interesting character and are quite an acquisition to this class of literature Journal Miner.

In 1850 the tribe numbered 2i5 persons :;

traced to miscegenation. Some braves

Heat Radiation,

The tendency of heat to diffuse itself
is effected by radiation, conduction and
convection. Nearly all dull and dark
substances are good radiators, while
bright. polished surfaces radiate badly.
Some substances conduct heat more
freely than others, silver among the
metals being the best conductor. and
as unit Of measurement is taken at
1000. Compared with silver as a con-
ductor, gold is 9S1, copper $40. zinc
Gil, tin 422, steel 397 and wrought iron
43G, Glass, wood, gases, liquids and
resinous substances are bad conduct
ors. Water is such poor conductor
that if heat IS applied to the top it will

1t was stated recently as fact of
novel ana material interest that it was
now possible to insure for the contin-
gency Of being the father Of twins.
And so it is. You can also insure pro-
spective triplets. But that is small
matter compared to the queer risks in
surance companies are taking every
day. Anything. from the vicisstudes
of playing Il fast bowler on kicking
wicket to the chance Of an heir chang
ing his religious tcncts. is now Il sub
ject for an insurance policy.
I'VE insure people against the posi-
bility of any calamity, whatever il may
be-" said Mr.. Armstrong of the Ocean

rcncy Vandclcur. He wants to borrow
money on his property The lender de-
clines to advance the money on the
ground that he has no guarantee that
Nandelcur won't return to being call
ed Smith. We insure the lender
against that contingency, and Nande-
leur mee Smith gets his money.
"Another type of case is an insurance
against the discovery of missing man.
y prodigal son leaves home for his
cOuntrys good. and nobody knows
whore he is. His father, years later,
leaves his property to be divided equal
ly among his children. The trustee of
the will finds himself in difficulty.
The prodigal may return from his
husks. and then the other heirs will
have had more than their share. We
insure the trustee against the prodi-

In an examination of the muster
rolls of the regular army, which are
now being copiel for preservation in
the war department, it has been dis
covered that Edgar Poe, the poet and
mystic, was once private in battery
Fl of the Fifth artillery, and was pro-
noted to sergeant major. He enlisted
in 1929 under the assumed name of
Edgar A. Perry, and after rving a
year OF more was discharged under his
own name through the intervention of
influential friends, who secured him
an appointment "a cadet at West
Point. lis military career, however,
was brief, and not brilliant. He was
dismissed by court-martial during his
first year at the acade ny, probably for
drunkenness, although the specifica-
tions are not given. Chicago Record.

Growing Grain Feeds.

1t is sometimes problem whether
it would be cheaper to buy CONNER
cial fertilizers and grow more grain to
feed out, or to buy more grain and
make more and richer manure, and
therefore have less need to buy fer
tilizers. The solution of the question
seems to depend primarily upon the
chcapness of land and labor. If a
man in New England, especially near
a manufacturing town, had to hire
land and hire labor, we think he could
employ them to better advantage in
growing other crops for sale than to
grow any kind OF grain for feeding
purposes. But the man who has
plenty Of idle land yielding but little,
and help that he must keep the year
through. either members of his family
or that he must hire to do other work,
we think can grow corn cheaper than
he can buy it. if he so cares for his
fodder as to get full value for it for
dairy stock. Corn grows we'll upon
soil that is not we'll adapted to some
other crops and grows without the
heavy manuring that would be re-
quired for market garden crops, while
it is not exhausting to the soil, but
leaves it in better condition to grow
almost any crop than it was before the
corn was grown.
