Leao Years In This Century.

Some curiositleS concerning the new
century have been collated by the Rev.
Prebcndiary w. A. Whitworth, the we'll
known vicar of All Saints, Margaret
street, London. 1t will have, for in
stance. 36,s25 days, which is one day
more than the departing century could
show, difference due to the fact that
1900 was not leap year, but 1000 will
be so regarded With regard to leap
years it will be remembered that every
year of only 365 days is too short by
nearly six hours, but by having leap
year with its extra day every four years
we should make every four years more
than eleven minutes too long. Some
years, therefore, have to be left out, and
the present calendar provides for only
ninety-seven leap years to occur in four
centuries, which reduces the average
length of the year to 3o5 days five hours
forty-nine minutes twelve seconds,
which, being only twenty-five and one
half seconds too long, may be considered,
for all ordinary purposes, as correct.
This explains why in the seven years
1897 1903 there is no leap year. AS
to the error cf about twenty-five and
one-half seconds in the average year,
Mr.. Whitworth remarks that it would
take 100000 years to bring midsummer

Hamlet by Signs.

Very useful work is done by the Adult
Deaf and Dumb Institute in Manchester,
says the Lancet, in keeping up link Of
association and interest among deaf
mutes scattered over large area. Some
travel great distances to take part in
reunion in Manchester that has now be-
come an annual event This year it took
place at the Hume Town Hall, where a
tea party in the evening was followed
by a performance of Hamlet by deaf
mutes. Probably the feeling for dra-
matte representation is as strong in them
as in others, but to those who can hear
and speak it is difficult to imagine that
it can be fully satisfied with signs and
gestures, more especially when they are
trameled with the rapid and complicated
movements of the finger language. The
performance was. however, great sue
cess. Last year the same actors gave
Romeo and Juliet" SO that the Sue
cess was not altogether due to novelty.
The dressing of the play was effective,
the scenery was good, and there was
spirit in the acting and the audience,
Judged by their attention. felt a real
concern in the development and the IN
cidents of the play.

the language of the pale face, but an

with great dignity and reserve, as we'll
as with Spartan brevity. To the sugges-
ton that he had Lived good many
years." the old Indian said, 80, but to
the observation that he didn't look as
old as that" he declined to give any re-
ply whatever. This interesting old In
dian occupies the western log cabin IN
the Six Nations exhibit at the Pan-Am-
erican Exposition. He sits in rock
ing chair and works away on various
ornaments such as are to be seen about
the walls of the cabin.
The old man wears pair of blue jeans
held up by belt, and his flannel shirt
is covered by a waistcoat, attached to
which is large leather chain that Sc
cures his watch.
When asked for his name or card, the
old man indicates picture of brave

which is printed-RED CLOUD, CAY

An inquisitive visitor sometimes asks
the Indian if he often appears in the
dress Of the picture-what the matinee
young woman would doubtless refer to as
"qlad attire" "Humph!" says Red
Cloud, "Spose want to dress up in
paint and feathers all the time, just

Red Clouds methods of selling goods
are peculiar. A small boy stood by him

snickered. Cause if yer got ten cents

The Chief Justice Apologized.

Even chief justices are betrayed into
slang occasionally Sir John Madden,
the chief justice and lieutenant COVER
nor of Victoria, angry at the absence of
ali the barristers in libel case that was
down for hearing, characterized the pro-
ceeding as a fake" This is piece OF
pueilistic slang and is understood to
mean a make -believd fight, both boxers
having previously agreed as to the final
issue. London and New York have wit
messed many such fakes Next morn
ing the three leading barristers concern
ed appeared in court, explained their abb
sence and Indignantly repudiated any
idea of "fake." The chief justice then
apoloeized, expressing his regret that he
had permitted himself to use such a
word and adding that the bar would un-
,lerstand how such expressions some
times slipped out without due regard
to the surrounding circumstances. A
bland assurance of his belief that the
parties in the case were animated by
the "fullest litigant animosity' raised a
laugh and agreeaby closed the incident.

Gas Heating.

A question of everyday interest is as
to the quantity Of gas required to be con-
sumed in an ordinary gas stove to heat
a given sized room. On this subject the
English Journal of Gas Lighting recent
ly published some data based on an ex-
perience extending over eight or nine
years and covering rooms Of every de-
scription. According to this journal, to
heat room IA by II by 10, requires on
an average not more than 70 cubic feet
per day per hour. This is on the basis
of reasonable care being taken not to
waste the gas and to light the heater
only when it is required. At ten cents
per hundred cubic feet, the local rate,
this represents cost of six cents per
day. Rooms, of course, vary in the
amount of heat required to keep them
warm, depending on their exposure, the
character of the walls, amount of glass.
etc. The most difficult task encounter
ed during tn eauthor'' experience, was
to heat a room II feet square and II
feet E inches high, which had three out
side walls and very large windows. In
this case an annual consumption of 5o,.
600 cubic feet was necessary.

CEORClA'S PEACH BELT.
Fourteen Thousand Acres in One District
Now Set Out With Trees.

Perhaps the largest ch-growing dis
trict in the globe is that around Fort
Valley and extending to Albany, ga.
The peach orchards cover more than 14,-
600 acres within radius of ten miles Of
Fort Valley, and i'll this area there are
something like 100000 peach trees, 10
600 pear trees, 10000 grape vines, 5000
plum trees, and 1900 apple trees.
1t is impossible for one who has never
visited this region to realize what I'M
mense proportions the fruit growing in
dustry has reached. The railroads are
taxed at the height of the season to get
the crops to markets Each fruit car
carries an average of about 400 cases,
and this years crop will require not few
er than 1000 cars to move it. At ST.
crate-a very low estimate-the crop
around Fort Valley will bring in some
thing like 100000
1t can readily be realized from these
figures what the fruit industry brings to
Georgia. There are dozen or more
fruit companies formed in Ohio, which
own nearly 10000 acres of peach lands
in Houston county, on which there are
more than 100000 trees. The capital
stock of these companies is something
more than S4ooooo
Year by year the peach-raising COM
panies are spreading out and getting
into new territory The part Of South
Carolina Immediately adjoining the
Georgia line is coming to the front as
peachgrowing country, and the yield
there this year will be large. Old fields
which have for years scarcely been re-
gardcd as worth paying taxes on, are
being set out in orchards.-Ne10 lork
