a great many of our Iowa farmers
are putting in a good orchard, from half
an acre to ten or twelve acres. Near
Ardale Butler county. John Kyle has
what is said by fruit tree men to be the
finest orchard west of Ohio. 1t consists
of twelve acres of young trees, includ-
ing apples. peaches. pears and prunes.
He says the soil in Iowa is the best in
the world for fruit. and on the whole
twelve acres there is not single dead
tree, nor a split bark. l asked why so
many trees died out in the ordinary
orchard and he said the usual man
who set out a tree wanted something
that would begin to bear fruit the sec
ond year, hence the staying qualities
was poor, whereas with his orchard he
has bought all his trees in New York
from the best stock. and it takes from
three to four years before they do any
thing, but when they do they produce
the best and live the longest.
A great many lose their young apple
trees by allowing the rabbits to eat the
bark. Kyle has avoided this by simply
putting wire door screen around the
base of the trees. 1t is Inexpensive and
produces the result desired.
The circus season is at hand and. to-
gether with the numerous street carni-
walls over the state, has brought out the
farmers in great force. To be sure the
corn is full of weeds and the hay ready
to cut. but what is one day, more or
less. The weeds don't grow much in
one day. and as the circus only comes
once year it is We'll to take day off
and go to see the sights, and when they
get home they will feel that the time
and money We're we'll spent. The cir
cuses and money are all doing a big
business, turning people away nearly
every performance. There is now In
Iowa nine or ten big shows. giving two
performances daily. This is one of the
great signs of the general prosperity in
Iowa. as you will always find the circus
go where the people have money.

THE DOG HAS RIGHTS.

A man in ST. Louis named Abram

Jupiter bit him. Then Willie's parents
brought suit for damage against Mr..
Simon before Judge Sidener. The
Judge dismissed the suit and made this
ruling about the rights of dogs-prob-
ably the first instance in which the
rights of Any animal to resort to self

Any dog has legal and undeniable

WHAT ELECTRICITY IS.
The Result of Splitting the Atoms Of
Elementary Subxtances Into
Yet Smaller Units.

What is electricity? This question
is now answered by many scientific
men in way that would have aston
ished the most advanced thinkers of
q score of years ago; and yet their
conclusions seem to be supported by
the latest experiments, explains the
Peoples Magazine. According to
them, electricity is PURELY material,
and is the result of splitting the
atoms of elementary substances into
yet smaller units. An atomic chip,
or electron, is the unit of socalled
negative electricity" and what is
left of the atom is positively
charged" as we used to describe it.
The socalled cathode rays" are jets
of electrons, and where these strike
solid they produce the explosive
ether waves that we know as Roent-
gen rays. In certain atoms, as those of
iron, the free electrons circle about
the remainder of the atom, and this
constitutes the phenomenon OF mag
netism. Those who hold these views
assert that they have thus discov-
cred, isolated and even weighed the
electric substance. which may in.
deed, prove to be the primordial sub
stance-the 'protyle"-of the phil.

the spine. Indeed, the only spring
or curve permitted the lower part
of the corset is at the hip, which does
have come in fashion.
"On the contrary, hips are to be
compressed as much as possible. AS
a means to this end the corset is cut
longer than it has been for years,
particularly over the hips and abdo-
men--as long, in fact, as it can be
and permit the wearer to ST. down
and the most strenuous efforts of the
makers are directed to pushing down
and holding down the flesh on the
hips.
"And with the nelp of heavy bones
and steels, also strong straps, the
latter fastened to the edges of the
corset on either side and then to gar
tiers clasped below the knee, it is mar
velous what sylphlike results are OBJ
tanned. The straps, as may be inn
agined, are the least comfortable
part of the apparatus; nevertheless,
some women wear four of them, two
in front as we'll as two at the side
the better to keep the corset firmly
in place. After the figure begins to
fall into the new lines the straps are
less important.
From the waist line up there are
also marked changes in the cut OF
the up-to-date corset designed to
mold the new figure. Az most peo'
pie are aware, the models worn dur
ing the, last year or two have been
cut very roomy Immediately above
the waist line in front. This was to
give the effect of low bust. In fact
low bust has been perhaps the
most distinctive feature of the fash
ionable figure for more than year.
"Now all that is changed. Fashion
commands that the bust shall be
high in order to promote the straight
line which she has made the keynote
of the new figure. Therefore, thu
corset is now fitted quite smoothly il
front to some distance above the
waist line, and very closely indeed
under the arm.
necessarily, the bust is much
heightened. The corset, too, is GU
much higher than it was a few
months ago."

trocuting apparatus. These metal
strips are connected alternately to
the positive and negative wires of an
electric circuit and it is obvious that
an insect alighting on the strips
must come in contact with both the
positive and negative strips at the

the current through its body accom-

Internal Parts in Action.

Internal parts of the living body in
action have been photographed by
Dr.. T. II. Eykman. In Investigate
ing the motion of the tongue, pharynx
and larynN in swallowing, he fixes
an electric contact on the Adams APP
pie, the movement of which closes
the current feeding the N-ray tube
at perfectly definite moment dur
ing the motion. To get distinct
photograph it is necessary to repeat
the motion 100 or 100 times. The po-
sition of the contact is altered for
obtaining pictures of other phases
of the swallowing. Despite the diff
culties of this curious experiment,
fairly good photographs have been
made, and they throw new light on
the working of the organs of the
throat.

BILLY HAD A LARK.
Runaway Pony Scattered Delic1ouA
Butter Balls Along Half
Mile of Street.

Billy was a beautiful bay-colorcd
pony. He was none of your heavy,
slow-going farm horses that have to-
be urged on their way. Not hel
Like a swift deer he cleared the
ground, and hors eback riding on Billy
was delight. Everyone loved him.
He was SO beautiful. He would toss
his fine head and arch his neck in
such saucy way when being har-
messed that one was sure he was
only waiting impatiently to be of:
on gay canter.
One morning the weekly supply OF
butter was needed and Arthur was
asked to run over to the farmhouse
for it. He was just waiting his
chance to ride Billy, SO he said there
was not time to walk before school,
SO he guessed he'd ride Billy over.
Mother protested, but Arthur
pleaded, and so much time was lost
that mother saw that she must go
without the butter or allow Arthur
TO ride the colt.
Billy looked very sweet and inno-
cent of any mischievous plan as no
trotted out of the yard at a very
mild pace. 1t was the first time
Arthur had ever been on his back,
and he sat proudly. The only thing
that made him realize that he was
not valiant knight on prancing
charger was the tin butter pail on
his arm.
Arthur reached the farmhouse in
good time, and the empty butter pail
was exchanged for one filled with
half-pound prints of delicious yellow
butter.
Arthur started for home. Billy, in
fine feather, was cantering along
gayly. A few rods from the farm,
near the road, stood a small black
smiths shop, where several men were
Longing about, waiting for the

AS Arthur rode by one of the men

ed Billy on the round run. Arthur
was nearly thrown by Billy's sudden
spring forward, and in his efforts TO
regain his seat and control the horse
the pail of butter slipped further up
his arm, the cover iell off and Billy
and Arthur went prancing through
the main street of the village, scat
tering balls of golden butter behind
| them.
Everyone rushed to doors and win
dows at the clatter of hoofs, and
soon men and women, girls, boys and
babies started in a procession after
the proud knight, who was scattering
gold in his path as he scampered by
on his proud steed.
When Billy dashed into the yard,
the last print of butter lay in the
road some yards behind him, and
mother rushed out to find dishev-
eled rider, a painting horse, and all.
the neighbors with all their children
congregated in her backyard. But
that was not the worst of it; she
found an empty pail.
| Arthur had to walk back to the
farm for more butter, and he had
plenty of company on the way, who
thoughtfully pointed out the little
soft yellow heaps to him, lying at
intervals in the road.
But Billy? Well, he was not Bit
penitent. He only smiled when they
led him in the stall and tossed his
head as much as to say: THAT was

he had swallowed them. He was taken

Another Nine Months of Study in
Sight for the Dung Folks.
The public schools will open next
Monday morning, and again we will
hear the familiar sound of the school
bell. With the opening of school
comes the customary scramble for
the back seats, and while some will
be successful in retaining the back
seats throughout the year others will
be moved further ahead and some
will even advance as far as the
superintendent room, After the
pupils have been enrolled and lessons
assigned, school will be dismissed,
Johnnie will strike his dad for a
penny lead pencil when he gets home,
and his sister will need a new book
