the mortgage premises to the wife Of the

the evidence that such sale Of the equity
of redemption was not made to defraud
creditors, nor was it unfair or oppres-

Bag Punching
Art...


Tennis and rowing are over till next
year, and golf will be all but impossi-
BILE in a few weeks, so now the athletic
instructors are advocating bag punch
as the ideal indoor exercise for women,
particularly for women who have to
solve the ever-present problem of how
to grow thin. A well-known writer on
athletics insists that by punching bag
for ten minutes a day for a week a
woman can do more to reduce her
weight and preserve good figure than
BY observing a rigid diet for six
months. Bag punching develops the
chest, neck and shoulders and reduces
the waist. 1t exercises every muscle,
gives thin women curves and makes
stout women thin. II a woman has a
poor complexion the exercise will give
her the tints OF peaches and cream
II anything will. The object Of all ex-
eroise Is to make the blood circulate
rapidly and well, and bag punching
does that to perfection. Unlike fen
cling, bag punching requires no instruc-

a woman just as graceful and as light
on her feet as the other exercise. She
will learn to poise and balance herself
and this will give her a springy step
and an easy graceful carriage. Unlike
fencing, too, no antagonist is required.
That is another strong point in favor
OF bag punching. Last of all the outfit
is inexpensive. Ten dollars will buy
drst-class light punching bag with
framework support; a fairly good one
may be had for even less. The only
other thing necessary is pair Of light
weight boxing gloves which may be
bought for dollar. The exercise can
be taken in any costume Just as well
as in the most up-to-date gymnasium
garments. And a woman will derive
almost as much benent from awkward
bag punching If she keeps at 1t, as she
will from the real scientific kind. These
are rules OF the punching contest as

AnalyZing
a Meteor
Rasssgsss

Prof. George P. Merrill, curator of
the department Of geology of the Ma
tional Museum, who is engaged in
making chemical analysis of the
specimen known as Ardmore meteorite,
has recently issued q statement con-
corning a stony meteorite which fell
near Felix, Perry county, Ala, on May
Is, 1900, says the Washington Times.
This meteorite has many points of re-
semblance to the Ardmore meteorite,
which latter stone contains an element
80 difficult of classification as to lead
many scientists to believe that Prof
Merrill Is on the point of discovering
a new mineral Prof. Merrill, however,
does not share this belief, thinking that
under further examination the battling
constituent will prove to be a known
quantity. For the details concerning
the fall Of the Alabama meteor, as well
as for securing the specimen itself, the
National Museum is indebted to j. w.
Coleman, who visited the locality and
obtained the statements of eye wit
nesses. Prof. Merrill describes the gen.
eral appearance Of the state as follows:
so far as can be learned--a part of
the information being obtained by Mr..
Coleman from negroes-the state at the
time Of the explosion broke into three
pieces, the largest of which was the
one brought to Mr.. Sturdevant, and is
said to have originally weighed about
seven pounds, as already noted. An
other small piece was found, but has
disappeared, and the third, II such
there was, was never found. The stone,
as obtained by Mr.. Coleman, was
broken into FIVE pieces, which weighed
altogether 2,049 grams. 1t is about
thirteen centimeters in its greatest
length by nine in breadth, and about
the same thickness, and was covered,
except where broken, by a very thin
black crust, nowhere more than half

IL is a curious fact in nature that
many Of her products arrive at pre-
eminence where they have their sever
est struggle for existence. Just where
the season is barely long enough to
ripen wheat is where the hard grain
which produces the finest -four is
grown, for instance. AS one crosses
the Rockies and descends from their
frosty attitudes toward the semi-tropi-
cal delights Of modern California and
Colorado, it Is the fruit which grows
nearest to the snow line that pleases
most by Its flavor and size.
And it is where the summer, un-
touched by frost, is never more than
two months long, in D1rtheastern Can
ada, that the low-bush cranberry-the
concomitant of the sueculent turkey
is at its very best. The great swamps
near the height Of land, where thou
sands OF bushels Of these acid berries
ripen every year, are all unknown to
commerce Quite secluded, far away
srem roads, nourishing no fauna Of
any kind, known only to few hunt
ers and explorers, the so-called econ
omy of nature becomes an empty
dream in the face Of the immense
waste Of acres of good fruit, often
three or four inches deep, which has
been going on for centuries
The writer has pushed away the snow
IN midwinter 80 that he might thrust
his hands down to the bed moss, and
bring them up laden with fruit, which,
though frozen, was still very accepta-
BILE to one travelling light with fat pork

Porto Rico to Grow Our Coffee.

When the innovations planned, and
partially executed, for Porto Rico have
been put into full practice by the gov.
ernment the authorities at Washington
expect that island to furnish one-hali
the coffee consumed in the United
States. Among the agricultural i'm.
ports of this country coffee is second
only to sugar, the annual importations
averaging S70.O0O,O00 and only a small
fraction of per cent now comes from
our tropical islands. The most i'm.
portant industry Of Porto Rico has
been, in the past, the raising Of cof-
fee for European markets.
Shortly after the cession of the is.
lands to the United States the agricul.
tural department sent corps OF ex.
perts over the ground. 1t was found
that Porto Rican coffee plantations are
seriously injured by being to heavily
shaded, and also that shade Is not, az
commonly believed, a necessity, the
supposed good effects resulting from II
consisting simply in ixation of nitro
gen in the soil by the root tubercles

the broken surfaces is dark smoky
gray, almost black. It is very fine
grained, with numerous small dark
chondrules, not more than one or two
millimeters in diameter at most, and
with no metallic iron visible to the
naked eye. The mass is quite soft and
friable, and resembles in a general way
the stones of Warrenton, Warren coun-
ty, Mo-, and Lance, France, more close
ly than those Of any locality with
which the author il acquainted. The
color is, however, darker than is the
Warren county stone, and the chon-
dritic structure more pronounced than
in that OF Lance. 1t is, moreover, uni
formly gray in color, and not speckled
with white, as is the last named. Un-
der the microscope the stone is seen at
once to belong to the chondritic type,
as is indeed evident on close inspection
by the naked eye. The essential min
erals are olivine, auglts and enstatite.

drules or associated in more or less
fragmental particles, embedded in
dark opaque or family translucent
base, which is irresolvable, so far as
the miscroscope is concerned. The
structure is pronouncedly fragmental,
and the stone belongs beyond question
to the group OF tufts"
After a careful and minute investiga-
tioa into the microscopic structure OF
the specimen Prof. Merrill determined
the neurological composition to be as
follows: Metal, 9.O4 per cent; troilite.
