How Dew Farms.

There is, perhaps, no other work or
profession where the weather plays
such an important part as in farm.
ing. The success Of farm work de-.
pends SO largely upon the weather
than the farmer should have an intel
igent idea Of the laws which govern
the various phenomena which ws call
weather.
Dews are not SO important as rains,
ct there is more water in heavy
dew than in very light rain. A good
dew is often very beneficial to growing
vegetation, though it often seriou,y
interferes with farm work, notably
hay making. What causes dew?
Why is there no dew in the daytime?
Why does the dew fall some nights
and not others? How many who read
this can answer these questions intel
ligently.
Dew is invisible rain. It does not
come from the clouds, but from the
air near the ground. When the sun
ceases to warm the earth in the even
ing the latter cools rapidly. This
condenses the moisture that is in the
air in the form of invisible vapor,
when it falls because of its weight
just as rain does. When the wind
blows all night there is no dew. The
air next to tho earth cannot cool be-
cause it is constantly moving and
other air taking its place. This is
why still nights are the coldest. A
very light breeze will suffice to prevent
dew from forming.
During drought there is less dew
for the same reason that there is less
rain, because there is less moisture il
the air. Warm air usually contain,
more moisture than cold air, which il
why there is more rain in the summe
than winter. Snow is frozen vapo,
and frost is frozen dew.

Headquarters South Carolina Division.
United Confederate Veterans.
Charleston, s. c., Jan. 9th, 1902.
General Order No. So.
|. The attention of tLs Commands
OF this Division is earnestly invited
to the eloquent appeal in General
Order No. 263,, issued by our below
ed Commander, Gen. John B. Gordon.
In this order he asks the aid of every
Confederate Veteran to assist the
noble women Of the Confederacy in
the holy work they have undertaken,
OF erecting monument to our
martyred chieftain, Jefferson Davis.
Words are not needed to stir in
every Confederate heart, a full
sense of hi individual, and our
collective, duty to pay this tribute to
our leader, tho the cause for which
he sacrificed SO much is the "Lost
Cause" His devoted widow survives
him, and she is looking to the reunion
with her husband, our chief, when
she goes to join her noble husband
on the further shore, let hersbe able
to tell BIN that his people, loyal to
his memory, >ppreoiative Of his match
less de' otior to their cause, have COM
pleted this sribute.to him, and through
him, to the cause we all loved and for
which, with noble manhood he suf-
fered, even to the, ,ignominy Of having
his feeble limbs shackled.
The monument to our leader, JEFF
ferson Davis, is also one to the cause
he led. It is q tribute not only to one
great max, but to tho thousands Of
heroes who gave their lives, their all,
for the noblest cause that has ever
nerved the strong arms Of patrioss--
who upheld it with such magnificent
devotion.
III. Your Division Commander calls
attention to Gen. Gordon's request
for each Camp Of the u. C.. v. to
voluntarily contribute 81 FOR each
member Of the Camp. It is unforsu.
nate that some Of our comrades cannot
contribute this 81. To supply this
let there be some organized effort Of
the Camp. Some species Of enter
tainment be devised by which an
amount could be raised to enable each
Camp to contribute 81 for each COM
rade Of the Carnp.
LII. All aDiounts contributed in
South Carolina should go through the
lady who has our State for her field Of
work, that the State may have full
credit for the work Of her people.
Contributions may be sent to Mrs.
Alice A. Gf. Palmer, Charleston, 8. c.,
representing the Confederate Southern
Memorial Associations, composed Of
che noble band Of women who have
since 1865 zealously cared for the
graves of our sacred dead, or TO Mrs.
Augustine Z. Smythe, Charleston, s.
O., representing the Daughters Of the
Confederacy, an organization which il

glorious memories Of our cause, to
chronicle the heroism Of our fallen

The Antiquity Of Man.

Claimed TOT our race VSSSG antiquity Ou
various grounds Two hundred thou
sand years are assumed by some as the
lowest estimate of mans appearance in
England, but how much earlier he had
existed elsewhere, before, is left an open
question. A chronology has been in
vented from changes Of climate sup
posed to have extended through inn
mense periods human remains or nipple
meRfS having been found in glacial
drifts. we answer that a theory, how
ever acute, is dangerous toy, when
the facts are interpreted in opposite
way by equally learned men. The APP
proximate dates of the glacial period
are matters of keen dispute between
the most eminent scientists, nor can we
accept imaginary chronology, however
famous its author. It is simply guess
aud carries no authority whatever.
Moreover the dates of these periods
have no necessary connection with the
antiquity of man, for the proofs of
human remains or implements being
found in glacial drift are sadly de-
fective and in any case no one can
prove that these implements were not
buried in the earth long after glacial
action.
Second Argument:
ANIMALS FOUND WITH MAN.
The characrer of the animals, now
extinct in the countries where their re-
mains are found in connection with
those of man has been held to prove long
ample, is now found only in the tropics,
hence it never lived in colder ATTITUDES.
This is an err oneous conclusion. The
body of a rhinoceros, still retaining its
skin, and some of it's flesh was dis
covered in 1771 in Siberia ON the banks
of tributary of the Lena river. 1t was
also covered with hair, to enable it to
stand the cold. 1t has been suggested
that as in our own times the northern
animals migrate SO the Siberian rhi-
noceros and elephant may have
wandered towards the north in sum-
mer. Thus it is clear that the presence
in northern countries of animals now
found in warm climates, is no proof
whatever of the lapse of very great
periods of time.
Third Argument:
DEPOSITS IN CAVES.
The supposed evidence of. deposits in
caves of river and other gravels, of the
presence of extinct mammals along with
human remains are claimed for an i'm
mense age of our race, some claiming
200, 900 years, others $500 years
Prof. Pengelly tells us that it takes
5000 years to create an inch of lime
dropping on the floor of Kent's Cavern
in England, but others equally learned
assert that in other places it is formed
at the rate of the third of an inch
year, which would give foot in depth
in little more than a century. A copper

them.
Fourth Argument:
DEPTH AND CONTENTS OF RIVERS.
This evidence is no less unsatisfactory.
Tt is quite impossible to fix the age
either from depth of rivers. or gravel
beds or their contents. Mr. Wood found
the road leading to the temple of Diana
at Ephesus, more than four yards below
the present surface and he obtained re-
mains of sculptures at depth OF six
yards and a half. Local floods work
great changes and it is to be remem-
bered that all rivers are much larger in
a country still in a state of nature than
where human settlements have in
great measure drained off the surface
waters.
The learned scientist Chabas in ex-
aiming tool-bearing drifts in northern
France, found Roman pottery OF
Caesars time, copper coin of Charles
VIII of France, and pieces of yellow
brick as deep in the soil as the stone
axes, reputed to have belonged to the
so-called stone age. Then he gave up
the hope of fixing the age of anything
by its position.
Fifth Argument:
THE STONE, IRON AND BRONZE AGE.
The learned Duke of Argyle in his
great work ''Primeval man." says:
There is no proof whatever that stone,
viC fo in
world" That is one of the many
scientific fancies, which further investi-
CATION has overthrown. Il is now ad-
mitted, that each age runs into the
other and tools of all the separate ages
were used in not few localities at the
same time. A well made bronze pin
was found in an excavation near Macon,
France and in the same spot remains
of the stone period were in abundance.
have observed i'll Holland, years ago
that the famous t'tumuli of the Huns
contain numerous flint tools and
weapons, polished hatchets, chisels, ar
row-heads, hammers, etc. Some were
rough, that is of the oldest age; others
partly polished. others perfectly pol
ished. Along with these were seen
samples of pottery, ornamented by in
struments of bone of wood. Yet, all
biologists admit, that these ''tumuli'
; or mounts of funeral urns are not older
than the Roman period, when that
country began to rise above the great
foods which till then had covered it
nearly every year. At first only the
sandhills and other elevations of my
native country, were inhabitable and
these in Caesars time, were SO many
small islands whose savage and brave
inhabitants, called the Batavians, were
believed to live on fish and the eggs of
birds See Caesar, de Bello Calico, ".
!. Stone and bronze weapons are found in
! the same spot. even uncoined copper
money and flint knives were discovered
in the same excavations
There is stone knife in the British
Museum bearing an inscription which
shows that it is not older than the sixth
9 century before Christ. It cannot be
said that the stone age is even today a
matter of the past, for Prof Marietta
has noticed that his Arab laburers still
shave their heads with razors of flint

Large sums would probably go into
buildings and improvements. Thus
that 800, 900 would get into the con-
tractors hands, from him it would
go to the building trades men, from
them to the stores and back again.
1t is difficult to estimate how great
would be the benefit to the community
and how many would profit by it if
the Trade at Home spirit should pre-
vail.

columns of The Record. but there

neglected 1t is the printers side of
