STATISTICS ON DIVORCE.

DR.. Webb upheld the canon and quot
ed some startling statistics. He stated
that there had been more divorces in a
single county in Ohio than in the whole

ties and America were not at all to the
credit of this country. 1t is not improb-

LAW WITHOUT A PENALTY.
Pure Lard Measure Contains Omis-
sion Which InYaIidnfes IL

Minnesota is now without a pure lard
law, and this is alleged to be due to the
manipulation of bills by certain members
of the recent legislature. The Dairy and
Food department thought the bill which
was passed recently WAS all right, but
it has made the discovery now that the
law provides for no penalty and conss-
quently it is not worth the paper upon
which it is written. The bill provides
that lard shall be deemed aduIterated
if any foreign substance has been added
to it, or any necessary or valuable in
gredient has been extracted from it.

! SOIL EXPERIMENTS. I
; United States Government Using. Ingenious \
u instruments.
Observation-Disclosures

The division of soils Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture has
lust described Il new instrument how
in use for investigating the properties
of soils. This is a great time and
labor saving apparatus, giving accur-
ate and reliable results, which other
wise would require months to obtain.
The physical properties of soils are
recognized by plant Psychologists to
be of the greatest Importance in plant
economy. Even in the consideration
Of climatic conditions it is now gen
orally considered that for most plants
the conditions Of tie soil hold equal
rank with atmospheric conditions: A
high temperature in the soil under Ia
vorable conditions promotes extensive
root Development; d high atmospheric
temperature under equally favorable
conditions favors a heavy growth OF
foliage. 4 deficiency in water of
either air or soil is atteiided with dis
tress.
The new apparatus as devised by the
division Of soil is an electric affair.
1t registers half dozen or more va
rious soil properties. This method de-
pends upon the principle that the re-
sistance offered to the passage OF an
electric current from one carbon plate

ent record of the change in wafer it
is necessary to deal with the same
sample Of soil, which can only. be
done by this electrical method.
The scale Of the instrument Is ar
ranged on a decimal plan, so that the
various soil properties can be deter
mined directly from the scale Of the
instrument.
1t was observed by Professor W
that soil areas of the Connecticut Val
ley were practically identical as re-
CARDS texture and water content with
certain areas in Florida upon which
the finest OF cigar wrappers arc being
raised from Sumatra seed. Expert
ments were accordingly made on one
Of the Connecticut areas, using the
same seed and methods of cultivation
and curing employed in Florida, with
the most satisfactory results.
Should the more extensive expert
ments now in progress support the
earlier work, as there is every reason
to expect, the result will be to increase
greatly the area adapted to tie growth
of the finest quality of cigar wrap
pers known, and there will be raised
in this country tobacco now imported
to the amount Of S6,000,000 annually.

Nnndascrint Auin1 ala.

The West African water-shrew,
which. has the fur and shape Of an
otter, tail like an eel and the habits
OF an aquatic insect feeder, is only an
extraordinary form Of a well-know1
family. But creatures like the panda,
the lophiornys and the binturong are
quite detached from other classes OF
beings. The panda is a very pretty
beautifully furred carnivorous crea-
ture found in the forests of the east
ern Himalayas. 1t is sometimes
called the "bear cat" It's fur is rich
red chestnut above and Jet black be-.
low, the tail long and ringed like a
racoon's, and it's habits rather like
those of a bear. 1t sucks up water
instead of tapping it, and sits upon its
launches to fight. Another and larg-
er panda, white in color, was found
by that indefatigable naturalist, Pere
David, in Thibet. The binturong Is
kind of Asiatic kinkajou, found in
Sumatra and Java 1t Is the only
prehensile-tailed animal in the Old
World, a distinction which appears to
have struck naturalists more than
the detachment of the animal from all
other forms. 1t has a short, blunt
head, woolly, soft fur. and teeth
adapted for getting an honest living
by almost any means. It's color Is
black, its gait slow, its tail very long
and prehensile, Its ears tufted and
fringed with white. 1t has been
called raccoon and civet, and 9TH
er even less creditable names, and
most certainly should only be called
by its own.-London Spectator.

THE ROUND TABLE
= OF KING ARTHUR.

The famous Round Table of King
Arthur is still preserved in the great
hall that was attached to the ancient
castle built by William the Conqueror
at Winchester in 1885, and it is one OF
the most interesting relics in all Eng
land. The castle Of Winchester was
destroyed by fire several years ago,
but the hall in which Parliament sat
for 400 years is still preserved in Its
original condition, and secret
trough" as they call it, which was
bored through the wall and enabled
the king to hear what was going on
in Parliament as he sat in his cham
ber, is still pointed out to visitors
The castle was the residence OF all the
early Norman kings. Richard Occur
de Lion was received there by his no
bles Wien he returned from captivity,
AL the Edwards resided there, there
Henry VIII. entertained the great Gu
peror, Charles v. of Spain; there Queen
Mary entertained Philip II. of Spain
until they were married In the an
cient cathedral near by, and there sir
Walter Raleigh was tried and con-
demned to death after his return from
his fruitless explorations in scuth
America.

cient cities Of England, and was set

1865, described it. Henry VIII. re-

1865, described it. Henry VIII. re-
paired it, and placed an iron band
around the outside like the tire of q
wheel, to keep it together. 1t was
great curiosity in his day, when 1t
must have been ut least GOO years old.
The under part of the table is a net
work of braces; the upper part is laid
off into twen.y-four sections, each
bearing the name Of the knight who
occupied It, and you can see the names
of Galahad, Launcelot and others NEIL
toned in Tennyson's poem. The chron-
iclers say that the table has been
hanging in its present place since the
year 1888, but has been taken down on
several occasions. The last time was
when the castle burned. The citizens
of Winchester were determined to
save it, and hundred men were en-
gagged in removing it from the wall,
but when they got it to the floor they
found that it was too large to be taken
out through the doors and the fire was
extinguished before they could take 1t
to pieces.
