THE PEANUT.
Known Also in the South as the Pindar
 and the Goeher.

and the Goeher.
 | An observant state contemporary | considering the virtues of the "pindar,' l remarks that they do say a South Carolina legislator can eat more pin- l dars than anybody else"
 It is fact that the average South Carolina legislator is abnormally fond of "pindars," as our contemporary calls the fruit scientifically known as the Arochis hypocoen, and variously desig- mated in the everyday language of this country. Even the strictest rules against eating in the legislative halls are insufficient to abolish the habit in the house and, while the sedate senate is not so openly addicted to it, still we have known the most punctilious sena-
 tor to send out surreptitiously for bag
 of pindars and devous them in that dig
 nifty of manner becoming a senator of
 South Carolina. The senators eat pin
 dars quietly in the senate chamber and
 carefully dispose of the hulls or they slip out into the lobby or cloak-rooms and there enjoy the feast in peace. But
 in the house it is quite different. There
 the members indulge themselves re-
 gardless of conventionalities, and after an especially trying day the floor is cov-
 cred with the hulls that have fallen
 from their careless hands.
 In this article we have followed our
 contemporary in designating the Ara chis hypocaen as the pindar, but there are many other names for this popular fruit. In the south, where the fruit is best known, pindar is the most common name given it, although it is spelled
 either pindar or binder, while the form
 ''pinda'' is also found as well as ''pin- dal." In Georgia the common name is
 ''goober' and in Virginia, where it is raised on an extensive scale, it is usu- ally called the ''groundnut." In the north the name by which this versatile plant and its product are known is peanut" or the ''ground pea" and it re- joices still in other resignations, such as 'earthnut," 7" Manila nut" and "iur- nut
 The peanut has been found to be a very profitable crop and many Virginia farmers have made fortunes out of it. The market is sure and the expense of planting, cuttivttion and harvesting is by no means great. The Newberry Ob- server interviewed a peanut dealer in it's town who "has a two hundred and forty dollar peanut roaster and has eleven acres planted in peanuts on his farm out beyond Helena" This gentle man expects to gather five hundred bushels of good, sound peanuts, leaving the undergrown and defective on the vines for stock" Last year he planted one acre late and got sixty bushels l Peanut vines yield abundantly,' says this authority.

 Wat Tyler, at the end of the fourteenth century, for that gentleman's levies took the trouble of burning down the old gate, which had stood for two cen- turies before their time. It had been built when St. Johns Priory was erect

VOLCANIC ACTION ON THE MOON.

VOLCANIC ACTION ON THE MOON. Lunar geography, according to Pro- lessor W. H. Pickering, consists mot in
 mere mapping of cold dead rocks and
 isolated craters. but in the study of the
 daily alterations that take place in
 small selected regions, where we find real living changes, changes that can-
 not be explained by shifting shadows or varying Vibrations of the lunar surface" Professor Pickering's application of this
 new principle of observation has led him to some startling conclusions.
 In the first place, he thinks there is good evidence for believing that volcan- ic action has not yet entirely ceased, and that in certain regions small craters have appeared or disappeared. Second, he finds that many small craters are lined with a white substance, which be- comes exceedingly brilliant in the rays Of the sun. These white patches change form as the angle of illumina- tion changes, and he suggests that they may be due to species of hoar frost Third, he has noticed variable spots" in regions between attitudes fifty-five degrees north and sixty degrees south. These spots invariably occud round very small craters or narrow abysmal rifts, and the variations in their ap- pearance may be the result, so he be- lieves, of alterations in the refecting surface caused by the growth and de- cay of some form of organic life not ne cessarily identical with the vegetation of our earth. Here is the seed of a. speculation which does not seem 10 have occurred to H. G. Wells.

THE PERSONAL INFLUENCE or
 THE KAISER.

l 1I1G 1ELSONAL INFLUENCE OF 1 THE KAISER.
 But, after all, it is the personal infiu.
 ence of the kaiser which is most po-
 tent. His forceful personality simply
 compels attention. For years after his
 accession millions of Germans stood
 aloof, ignoring his kaleidoscope activ-
 ity. and firmly believing that after he
 had ''sown hs wild oats" and after the
 novelty of the situation into which he
 had been summoned so unexpectedly
 had worn off he would cease his pyro-
 technic interference in every phase of
 public life. But these would-be '.indif- | ferents' were forced to abandon their attitude. When, after one of his | speeches, often i'll advised, flamboyant
 and overshoQting the mark, but always striking and earnest, the press of the whole world would be ringing with l comment, and at every German fireside
 heated discussions pro and con would take place, these sober minded Ger
 mans, while still condemning his meth ods, found it impossible to stand su- pinely aside. The kaiser, on every Weighty problem that came to the sur face for solution, would split the nation
 into two hostile camps, stimulating dis
 cussion and keeping both adherents and
 opponents of his views at fever heat.
 It is this sensational side of his person. al influence, probably more than any
 other, which has been, and is still being, felt most strongly. Into every political
 campaign in Germany he has thrown
 firebrands in the shape of notices, pithy and apt sayings, sarcastic allu- sions, or ironical retorts to his adversa- ries. Every weapon of warfare has been successfully employed by him.
 When the kaiser disapproved of the vioent agrarian agitation in 1894, he coined the phrase, You cannot expect me to sanction bread usury." And the phrase flew like wildfire all over Ger many. When he dedicated the impor- tant Baltic-North sea canal, he said, "Ocsans unite; they do not sever." and, similarly, "The worlds present motto is, Easy Communication When he considered it necessary to check the ad- vancing tide of socialism, he spoke of the socialist party, numerically the largest in his empire, as "A horde of men unworthy to bear the name of Germans" And the bitter words still rankle in the breast of every German socialist. When he rebuked the Ultra montane center party for refusing to do honor to Bismarck on his eightieth birthday, he said:' "This is national disgrface. unequalled in modern histo- ry." When he had veered around in his ideas on the agrarian question, he said, Agriculture is the backbone of the country, and it must be protected" He coined the phrase about the Greater Germany" and said, Our future lies upon the water;" and, more strongly, Without the consent of Germany's ruler, nothing must happen in any part of the world" His sayings about the mailed fist" about planting the ban ner of Germany upon the walls of Pe- king about the yellow danger and all the other highly colored and start ling sentences descriptive of his concep- ton of the situation in China are stll in everybody's recolleetion.-North Amer ican Review.
