WORDS OF WISDOM.

1t does not follow that the archer
aimed because the arrow hit.
The genius is the man or the woman
who finds plenty of reason why i'm
possibilities should be accomplished.
Patriots are of two kinds-those who
are ready to fight end die for their
country, and those who are ready to
work for and live on it. The United
States fortunately has both kinds.
A man need not to care for more
knowledge than to Know himself; he
needs no more pleasure than to con.
tent himself; no more victory than to
overcome himself; no more riches than
to enjoy himself.
Each of us, whether rich or poor
young or old, can bestow upon some
sin-wounded, discouraged soul the heal
ing balm of kind words. Like the
sunbeam and the raindrop falling Oh
the whitening flowers, they will bear
to it life, courage, hope and return to
the givcr rich bencdiction.

The distance from the most northerly

Within this area are to be found no

EARTH'S CENTER.
1t Is Solid, Reservoirs of Molten Mat
ter Being Local.


The recent volcanic outbreaks in the
Lesser Antilles have naturally aroused
much popular and scientific interest in
these geological phenomena and have
made brief statement Of current and
accepted explanations of them mat
ter of interest. All these manifesto
tions of heat are derived from the
great stores which exist in the interior
of the earth.
The consideration of them and OF
the known increase of temperature
with depth led earlier geologists to
believe that the earth possessed
heated molten core and cold relative
ly thin exterior shell. But as further
investigation developed correct con-
ceptions of the rigidity Of the globe
in resisting strains produced by Its
rotation and the attraction OF other
heavenly bodies for it's mass, and as
the elevating effect upon the fusing
points of rocks of aa increase Of press
ure was realized, it was seen that the
earth is practically solid cl> through,
and that local reservoirs of molten
rocks beneath volcanic districts are
alone admissible.
That local reservoirs exist seems
quite we'll established, and that the
rock is sufficiently fued to enable conf
plex parent magmas to break up into
various differential products is the
latest result of the investigation of
eruptive areas. Volcanoes are, more
over, arranged along great lines OF
geological disturbance and fractures.
The fractures are naturally the con-
duits through which the great tension
of the internal molten masses is eased
by eruptions. The immediate propul-
sive force which drives the lava to the
surface is the next topic of Importance
which challenges attention. Some
biologists believe that the contrac-
tion of the globe and the sinking OF
one side of the great fractures above
referred to forces out the lava as juice
might be squeezed through a rent in
an orange.
Others, however, attribute the pro-
pulsion to vapors which are held dis
solved or included in the lava, and
which are so much in evidence at
times of eruption. The frightful eX-
plosions and the vast exhibitions of
power which they present give much
force to this conception. Imagine,
then, a rising tide Of lava. AS it
forces its way through the conduit it
spreads earthquake shocks abroad.
Reaching the surface, Its dissolved
vapors explode with greater and great
er violence and scatter tufts and brec-
cias over the neighboring country.
They may rend the crater and set loose
floods Of lava AS the energy e.
pends itself the violence declines and
disappears. The volcano then yields
only hot springs and gaseous ennis
sions, called fumarolcs, until it is stone
cold.-Popular Science Month";.

Whore Australia Buys Books.

Anyway" said an Englishman who
was at the Hotel Imperial, "if you de
send immense quantities Of books tt
England, if commercially you do owr
the British Islands, if you do send gol1
sticks to South Africa and drain pipes
to India, and sewing machines to Aus,
tralia, at least Australia still turns tc
us for the bulk of her reading matter.
On the whole, guess Australia sends
you more actors and prize fighters than
you send her literature.
II saw recently the latest statistics
from Australia on the subject, and
they showed that Australia imports
yearly from England over $2,5O0,O0C
worth Of literature, in the form OF
books and periodicals, while the en-.
tire importation from the United States
is hardly $4,000 worth. Now, while
this preponderance Of English publica.

100000 worth of books and magazines
are imported from other countries thar

that the taste Of Australia is not insu.

What Is said to be the largest auto.
mobile in the world, and the largest
combined harvester as well, is now at
work on a big ranch in Central Califor-
mia, where it is being used in cutting
10000 acres of barley. The big ma
chine consists of a traction engine, ca
pable of handling seventy-five tons,
and which takes the place Of sixty
horses, header or moving machine,
which cuts swath thlrty-six feet, and
threshing machine. all complete. The
threshing machine and header are run
by a thirty horsepower engine, save
that they both get steam from the
same boiler.
The apparatus moves over the ground
at different speeds, according to the
thickness of the crop, while all the
time the header and thresher are going
at full speed, whether the grain be
thick or thin. The average speed made
is three and a half miles an hour, and
100 acres a day can be threshed by the
machine. =.
The drive wheels of this monster
traction engine are eight feet In diane
ter and have tires forty-eight inches
wide, on which are ridges all inch ami
a half high. Eight men are employed
on the thresher. Half Il minute after
the header starts 10 work the threshcd
grain begins to fall into the sacks OH
the other side from where it is cut,
while the straw falls into cart be-
hind. The heads are carried away
from the header by draper, or mov-
ing belt, forty-cight inches wide. They
are carried through a colandcr, which
breaks the beard from the barley and
shells it at the same time. then by Il
narrow belt through two cleaners and
finally to a bin, from which 1t Is
sacked. The sacks are sewed and set
aside as fast as filled. When twelve
sacks have been filled they are allowed
to slide off the cart on which they are
stacked to the ground. Likewise when
the straw cart is full 1t is dumped.
