SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Kaolin has been recently found in
the Cumberland valley. Pennsylvania,
and the industry is being extensively
developed.
The great states in the production
of maple sugar are Vermont, Ohio,
New York and Pennsylvania, ranking
in the order named.
While cotton factories are springing
up as if by magic in cotton fields,
there is no growth of the industry in
any part of the world remote from
the fields.
The Russian emperor has contrib
uted the sum of 21.4O0 rubles from his
own pocket towards the study of the
fora of European Russia, Siberia,
Turkestan, the Caucasus and Crimea.
One of the few industries at pres
ent carried on in the island of Cor
sica is the extraction of tannic acid
from chestnut wood. The seat of this
business is at Bastia, the commercial
center of Corsica, and there are two
factories which export annually about
1000 tons of the extract in a concen-
trated form.
Sand for human being has been
recommended by doctor. What we
all need, according to his theory, is
grit-real grit that is furnished by
the silica in the sand. To get that
we must swallow a little clean sand
every day with our meals. The pres
ence of the grit will assist in the
grinding process, and our food, in
stead of distressing us, will nourish
us.
The manufacture of silk has for
several centuries been the chief bust
ness of Lyons, France. The Romans
established works there in the third
century A. d. for the manufacture OF
cloth of gold and silver, but every ves-
tige of these was swept away by
northern invasions. The present silk
industry was taken there from Italy
and Spain and the Levant about the
year 1866, under the fostering care of
Louis XI.
There are important distinctions be-
tween india rubber and gutta percha.
and in the majority of purposes for
which they are employed, one cannot
replace the other. While the trees
yielding india rubber ere well dis
tributed over the tropical parts of
the world and may be cultivated with
more or less facility, the tree which
furnishes gutta percha is to be found
only in Borneo, Sumatra and the Ma
lay archipelago generally.

BELTS AND STOMACH TROUBLE
Mems Summer Attire Is Blamed by
Physician for Some of Their
Ailments.

"Men's belts and stomach complaints
have duly arrived" remarked physi-
clan, as he pointed to the window of
a mans outfitting establishment the
other day, reports the Chicago Times
Herald. MEMS belts have been getting
narrower for several seasons. This
year an inch is the proper width. Black
and white leather has succeeded the
two and half inch canvas or tan leath-
er bands.
"A buckle with single prong has
supplanted the two and three-toothed
affair. Plain patent leather is the
favorite material, though linked eff
feet in dull black leather is growing
in popularity. This belt is made up of n
series of V-shaped pieces of stout leath-
er, reinforced with piece of leather
on the back to better withstand the
strain.
''As soon as it gets warm men are
prone to discard suspenders and sub
stitute belts. To hold their trousers
up comfortably they pull in their belts,
so that their waists are CONSTRUCTED to
an unwonted degree. After luncheon
or dinner the genus homo feels pain
in the region of the hypogastrium,"
continued the physician. His stomach
and abdominal muscles are protesting
against their restraint. and Mr.. Man
just ponders over what he has eaten.
"'I don't think it was the cucum-
bers or the ice cream, though il may
have been the lemonade had, doctor,
he means.
"The fact is, it's the belt. not the
edibles, that ails him. If he'd loosen mis-
boaconstrictor contrivance after eat
ing he wouldn't suffer any more from
his summer diet than he does when he
mixed mock turtle soup and mince pie
with his midwinter insults to his stom-
lch. And, of course, the narrower the
belt the worse the summer complaint"

if waiting for her to say something.
On Friday afternoon last Mr.. Job
son came home with some bundles un-
de- his arm. He calmly opened the
bundles and showed them to Mrs. job
son as soon as he got in. One of the
bundles contained neat white fap-
mel suit, another yachting cap, and
still another pair of white canvas
shoes.
Like 'em?" asked Mr.. Jobson,
jauntily.
''Why, yes; they're nice" replied
Mrs. Jobson, but men don't wear
such thin s in the city, do they?"
"These, Mrs. Jobson,' said Mr.. job
son, "are not to be worn in the city.
They're to adorn the person of one
Jobson down at the seashore, where
one Jobson and his wife will be about
this time tomorrow afternoon
But" began Mrs. Jobson, 81
thought you had forever foresworn
the seashore, and that"
"Foresworn the seashore?" said Mr..
Jobson, with an expression of great
surprise. "Who? Me? When did you
ever hear me say anything of the
sort?"
'Why, haven't you been saying all
winter that"
Not unless said it in my sleep!"
But | haven't rag made up that
would be suitable for the seashore,
and"
Mrs. Jobson," broke in Mr.. Jobson,
with great dignity, your husband,
who is on the verge of prostration
from a combination of heat and over
work, has extended to you cordial in
vitation to accompany him to the sea-
shore tomorrow afternoon. Your hus-
band, madam, has been in the habit of
going to the seashore for part of the
summer for good many years, and he
doesn't intend, at this day and date,
to be chiseled out of that pleasure
simply because you set up that old
wall about nothing to wear. / should
very much dislike to go to the sea-
shore by myself, Mrs. Jobson, but
well, viii you be ready to take the
train tomorrow, that's what 1 want
to know"
Mrs. Jobson was ready, and they
went, and when they get back Mr..
Joi'son will probably make the same
declaration about GUNNER resorts that
he made last year, and then forget it
all over again. Mr.. Jobson is a con-
! sistent-forgetter.-Washington Star.

THE RESTLESS ONES.


The man who wants to do things,
He's very curious chap;
He's the author OF few things
That have changed the nations map.
He has argued and GRATED;
He has done his level best;
He is lampooned or he's feted
And he never gets a rest.
They buffet and abuse him
And he finds when he is through,
They forget him and refuse him
What is honestly his due.
And sometimes his name is banished,
Like a comet strangely bright
That has famed awhile and vanished
Somewhere far into the night.
All serene in his convictions
He must face the jeering crowd;
OF his personal Affections
He may never speak aloud.
And that hustling, bustling fellow
Eager to go forth and act
Possibly my hearts too mellow,
But 1 like him for a fact.
OF the martyrs I've been reading
In that book compiled by Fox,
And reformers I've been needing,
Who have graced the headsmans blocks
Perhaps l misconstrue things
And should fling him cynic rhymes,
But the man who wants to do things
Well. we need him bad, sometimes.

asual, just a trife beside the mark.
However 1T wasa settled thing from the
time Mr.. Jobson issued his pronuncia-
mento on the subject of summer trips
that there would be no summer trip
for the Jobsons this year. Mrs. job
son was content with that understand
irg. She had never been particularly
fond of the hotel existence and the in
cessant dressing and plunging about
of a seaside resort.
Frequently during the winter, when
friends of the Jobsons would ask them
where they were going when the sum-
mer came again, Mr. Jobson would eX-
patiate at great length and with much
fervor upon the complete lunacy of
modern folks who think they're abused
and imposed upon if they can't man
age to leave their comfortable homes
for month or two every summer and
rush to a crazy summer resort, where
they had to spend all their time fan
ming themselves and fighting mosqui-
toes and trying to convince themselves
that they were having a swell time.

Jobson would wind up, decidedly.
Folks who can't make themselves
happy and comfortable and contented
in Washington from January the 1st
until December the 31st simply don't
know when they're well off, and
they're welcome to do all the summer
resort gadding they want to. But
know one Washingtonian who will
henceforth find Washington good
enough for him the year round
Mrs. Jobson did not begin, as usual,
in April to get her clothes ready for a
summer trip. She was, in fact. rather
glad to be rid of that bother. Nothing
was said about summer plans, and she
took it fer granted that they would
have quiet, comfortable season of it
beneath the shade of their own vine
and fig tree.
There were some humid, sultry days
late in May. On the second humid,
sultry day late in May Mr.. Jobson
came home from his office mopping his
forehead a good deal and complaining
that he hadn't felt so run down" in
years. 1t was obvious to Mrs. Jobson
that he wanted her to suggest that
they take a spin to some cool place,
but Mrs. Jobson didn't have any such
suggestion 10 make. she said she
wasn't feeling the heat at all. Mr..
Jobson looked sidewise at her, and
then he went on to say that he
thought Washington would have
pretty warm summer of it this year.
Mr., Jobson saw lot of pictures OF
young women in bathing suits in the
fashion department Of one of the pa
pers early in June, and he commented
upon how much more stylishly women
are beginning to rig themselves up for
salt water bathing than they did in
former years. Mrs. Jobson didn't take
the hint, and again Mr.. Jobson gazed

Fires in Wheat Fields

This season has been a peculiar one
in the way of fires in the wheat fields
of this valley, says the Seattle Post-In
telligencer. Over 200 acres of ripe
grain have now been destroyed by
fires, in some cases 40 acres being
burned before the flames could be
stopped. In most cases the grain was
insured at from $5 to $40 an acre. SO
that the loss will not be complete. In
suring grain has become large part of
the business of insurance agents since
the fires have become so numerous.
Most of the fires result from sparks
from locomotives and threshing en-
