starting the Onion Crop,

When making the onion plat use the
"sats" instead of seed and set them
in the rows as soon as the frost leaves
the ground. They may be about three
or four inches apart in the rows, but
for large kinds more room may be
given. Begin working them frsm the
start, and especially after a rain, to
prevent them from being crowded
with grass and weeds. Where the
maggots attacked them last year such
land should be given over to peas and
a new location selected for the onions.

The new substance Carbide" in ap-
pearnncc resembles dark granite and
ss ordinarily crushed the pieces aver
age about the size of egg coal. Carbide
Is inert, will not burn, is non inflam-
mnble and can be handled in any guam
tity with perfect safety. Calcium Car
bide is produced by the fusion and re-
duction in an electric furnace of a mix
ture OF finely ground and intimately
mixed lime and coke.
There have been passed and pro.
nounced safe by the Boards OF Fire In
surance over eighty different kinds of
generators for producing Acctyicno
from the union of Calcium Carbide and
water. and the sales of Calcium Car
bide for a single day have been in ex.
cess of 3G0 tons.
When II is considered that less than
four years ago there was not an Acety.
lene generator on the market and the
very name Acctylenc itself was un-
known outside of technical chemical
laboratories, this progress seems truly
marvellous and is cNplainablc only by
the fact that Acetylcne is truly an cx-
traordinarily brilliant. cheap. safe
and satisfactory light. that it pos
sesses many advantages not common 10
any other artificial illuminant, and
that it reaches and appeals TO class
of isolated consumers in villages and
. on farms away from gas and electric
mains and supplies-a long and sorely
felt want.
Acctylene is produced by the simple
combination of calcium carbide and
water. the former is now procurable
readily and at small cost. Any me-
chanic can install the generator. Any
member of the family can manipulate
It. 1t causes no odor, SCOT. or smoke.
The flame from the Acetylene is clear
and brilliant, f1e very essence of light,
Owing to its richness it is consumed in
very small burners. An Acctylene
flame the size of n thumb nail gives AZ
much light as an ordinary flame from
city gas thirteen times as large.

LIGHT.

passes from the requirements of tho

OF development beyond the animal
stage, in which man was carnivorous
beast of prey, killing and devouring,
raw, animals less strong than himself,
was the employment of fire for heat,
for light, and later for cooking.

Groups of Figures Showing Progress
of CoIOred Race.
Mr.. T. w. Hunster, director of drawing at
the Colored High School, has prepared for the
Paris exposition several groups of figures
showing the progress made by the negro
race in school matters since the days of
slavery. The object of these groups is to
exhibit the development of the public school
system and its effect on the home life of
the colored people from period immedi-
ately after the close of the civil war to the
present date.
The first group shows family of former
slaves as they appeared in 1866. Next in
vious, had undertaken to build themselves
a home. This was constructed Of poles and
saplings and covered with brush The third
group presents a young woman teacher
from the north who is explaining to a
crowd of assembled coiored people the ad-
vantages of education. Acting upon the
teachers advice, as portrayed in the scene
which follows, a public meeting was held
cuSSed and an agreement reached to erect
a school house. The plan was quickly car
ried into-ef and, as subsequently shown
a log building which answered the purpose
erected.
Succeeding groups show that gradually
comfortable cottages and better school
houses We're built until perfection was
reached in the appointment of cOlored young
men and women as teachers and the cree
ton of the high school building in this
city. The groups have been photographed
for Mr.. w. T. Harris. United States COM
missioner of education, who will retain
them in his office, and the exhibit itself will
be shipped to Paris in a few days.
