plant will be $4,000 spindles and about
100 looms and the management
states that it is the intention to In
stall about half that amount Of ma
chinery at first and start the plant
early in November, adding the remain
der as soon as possible. The power
plant is already completed, the water
system perfected, the main building
completed and partly equipped. This
mill will be one Of the best built and

Magnetism Of the Earth.

1t is we'll known that clay baked in 4
brick furnace is magnetized along an
axis which corresponds to the axis of
the terrestrial magnetic field at the mo-
ment of baking. and it is noteworthy that
the magnetization is very permanent. On
these facts NJ. Folghereiter has founded
a method of studying the inclination of
the magnetic needle in antiquity. He
determines the direction of the mag
netic axis of pottery of Etruscan and
Roman times. The declination of the
needle cannot be determined in this way
on account of the impossibility of know
ing exactly how the vases stood in the
baking ovens; we know that they stood
vertically, but no one can say which side
was to the front. 1t is quite possible
that this method may be extended to
determinations referring to geologic ep-
ochs by observing the direction OF mag
netization OF clay strata that have been
transformed into brick by flows of hot
lava. The latter question is now being
studied in the volcanic region of the
Puv-de-Domc in France.-Ne1V Yort

The Greatness Of Little Objects.

It was saying of Henry Ward
Beecher that "the little things of lie
give us the most trouble" The COM
mon house-fy was his favorite illustra-
ton.
More than half the diseases that de-
stroy human life are produced by pesti-
lences too small to be seen by the naked
eye. The plaques that destroy animal
life are of the same invisible origin.
And practically all the ravaging of the
crops is dcne by small insects and
worms.
Not less true is it that the good
things Of the world. the things that make
it a more comfortable world to live in
are mostly little things. OF the about
600 patents every week granted to in
ventors in this country $50 are for small
mechanical devices OF general every
day utility. The electrical candt. that
lights at the touch of your finger, the
folding umbrella that you can drop into
small handbag or carry in your over
coat pocket, the machine that cuts green
corn from the cob and the oil-can that
can't explode are good types of the little
inventions that are really great.
The great era-making inventions, like
the telephone and the telegraph, are ne
cessarily few and far between, and only
in few instances have their real au-
thors made any considerable money out
of them. The little mechanical novel
ties. counted by thousands. usually bring
their creator. fair reward and often
large fortune.-Nr1r York World.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL
New Enterprises That Are Enrlching
Our Favored Section.
The North Carolina Apple.

The growth Of apples for market has
come to be a great and profitable in
dustry in a number of counties in
North Carolina, and there is every rea-
son why 100 bushels should be raised
where now only one bushel is raised.
1t is crop that can be grown with
less labor than any other profitable
crop and one which is as certain Of
sure returns in at least large section
Of the State. A private letter to the ed
itor Of this paper from a friend in
Wilkesboro gives this example Of profit
In apple-growing:
Our town is one Of the leading pro-
duce points Of the State. We have sew
eral firms handling apples in large
quantities. A gentleman sold the apples
on his orchard yesterday for $3.50, cash
in advance, purchasers to take the
fruit from the trees. 1t is mountain
farm and not considered very valuable
at that. There is good money in orch
ards here if properly looked after"
The North Carolina exhibit OF fine
apples at Charleston will be one Of the
sights atthat great Southern Exposi-
tion. 1t will show the world what

rR HUMMlNc,eIRD.
Where to Find It's Nest, and How il Feeds
Its Young.


In St. Nicholas, Henry Hafcs writes
of the ruby-throated humming- bird.
The hummirg-birds builds on the up
per side of, a branch "a branch geaer-
ally about the size of the nest. The
nest is beautifully felted with fine white
vegetable down and studded on the out
side with fine lichens and minute specIcs
of bark like the branch itself.
They do not seem to retire to Sc
cluded places to build; they are as &C.
centric i'll their choice of a nesting
place as in their nature and habits.
Some suppose their nests are near the
gardens or vines they visit; but that is
not often the case. A few magic vibra-
tions of the wings, and they are far
away in few seconds.
The last nest found was on the
outer end of branch of silver poplar
that hung over public road; every
carriage-top that passed under it was
within a few feet of the nest-thc last
place in the world where | should have
expected to find such a nest. I should
not have seen it except that I was ac-
cidentally looking up into the tree, and
l saw, protruding over the side of the
rest, the long. fine sbill that happened
just then to stir. The nest might have
been passed hundreds OF times and been
taken for small knot unless thus be-
trayed. ,
These birds lay but two eggs, tiny
white morsels. The young birds when
first hatched are curious little things,
and feed by inserting their bills in the
mouths and throats OF their parents. As
the food OF the parents is composed Of
nectar and fine insects, it is easily made
ready for the little ones tiny Stem
