why Ice Floats.

Did you ever wonder why it is
that ice, being formed of CONCEAL
ed water, floats, and why on some
still lakes it begins to form at the
bottom before it does on the sur
face? Scientists explain these enig-
mas this wise: Ice is specifically
lighter than water just about to
freeze and therefore floats in it.
This is one reason why the forma-
ton of ice usually begins at the sur
face.
Another is its peculiar law of ex-
pansion. The general law is that
cold induces expansion. This law
holds good with water only to GER
tain point. When water has cooled
down to within IA degrees Of freez-
ing, it ceases to contract as before
with increase Of cold and begins to
expand till it freezes. Y
This expansion causes the colder
portions Of the water to rise to the
surface. The formation of ground
ice" or "anchor ice" as it is some
times called, is the only exception to
the rule given above.

Out of Sight.

Yes, I have pretty big mouth,
for a fact" admitted the candid
man, F'but I have learned to keep it
shut, and that counts for something
when you take your levels. / re-
ceived a lesson when I was a small
boy that I have never forgotten. I
was born and brought up on a
farm, and I had the country boy
habit Of going around with my
mouth wide open, especially if there
was anything unusual going on. One
day an uncle, whom | had not seen
for years, paid us a visit.
Hello, uncle!' said I, looking
up at him with my mouth opened
like a barn door.
'sHe looked at me for a moment
without answering and then said:
"'Close your mouth, sonny, SO ]
can see who you are
Il took the lesson to my heart
and resolved that from that day /
would not allow my mouth to con-
ceal my identity" Detroit Free

PEARL NECKLACES.
Row the Gems Are Matched and Grad.
ed Before Strinui1u.

Pearls arrive from India and other
parts Of the world in small punches,
with silver tassel ends. They are
then handed to the stringer, who
lays them out upon a long velvet
covered tray furnished with grooves
Of various sizes and depths. The
pearls are then put into the grooves
ready to be matched. Presuming a
rope has to be made Of fairly fine
stones, the first thing to be done is
to pick out the largest and finest
pearl and place it alone in one Of
the large grooves. This forms the
center of the rope Then the two
next best pearls Of equal color, size
and shape are picked out and placed
one on each side of the center pearl,
then the next two, and so on until
the two ends are reached. They are
then temporarily threaded and, if
no alteration is necessary, strung
again, and the diamond clasp is at
tached.
Every woman who values her
pearls has them restrung at regular
intervals, so that there is little risk
of them being lost.
Curiously enough, this particular
industry has been for generations
in the hands of one family, which, it
is needless to say, is well known
among all who have dealings with
these precious gems, and it is by
this family that SO many of the
beautiful necklaces and collarettes
of pearls are made and fitted SO per-
fectly to their fortunate owners

THE sURINAM DRAGON.

count Of the aboma or dragon is

often more than forty feet, its body
being four feet and over in cireum-
ference. It's color is a greenish
black on the back, a fine yellow on
the sides and dirty white on the
belly, the back and sides being spot
ted with irregular black rings, with
a pure white spot in the center of
each. It's head is broad and fiat,
small in proportion to its body, with
a large mouth and teeth set in dou-
BILE rows. It has two bright, prom
inent eyes, is covered all over with
scales about the size of shilling
and has two sharp claws under the
belly near the tail which it uses in
seizing its prey.
ut is an amphibious animal
that is, it delights in low, marshy
places, where it lies concealed un-
der fallen timber, ready to seize its
prey, which from its immense bulk
it is not active enough to pursue.
When hungry, it will devour any
animal that comes within its reach

BUY NORTH DAKOTA LANDS.
Anew Land Company with Extensive
Listings.

LlSfingS.
Minnesota and Dakota Land Com
pany, consisting of B. J. Buckland,
j. G. Morrison, of Morris and j. g.
Donaldson of Minneapolis has begun
operations in the cheaper lands OF
North Dakota. It has been the aim
of the company to secure branch
Offices only in those portions Of North
Dakota which are within the rain belt
and where the soil is good. Branch
Offices have already been established
at Lisbon, Windmere, Oakes and
Wahpeton, N. D. The company also
has extensive tracts in South Dakota
and in northern Minnesota.
On account of the volume of busi-
ness which the Company are doing
they have fonnd it necessary to re
move to Minneapolis and this change
will be made sometime next week.
The company would be especially
pleased to meet any of those farmers
who are selling out their homes in
Stevens County with the intention Of
removing to cheaper lands. Eastern
North Dakota land is just as good
and practically the same as western
Minnesota land, and the land in
Dakota is now undergoing the same
change in price which has been wit
messed in Stevens county during the
past five years.
Any of those desiring further in.
formation regarding North Dakota
should call at the Tribune office
where some member of the company
may be found at any time.

tits with pleasure that we an,
nounce the the Mozart Symphony
Club will be in Morris next Thurs
day, Feb. l3. Their phenomenal sue
cess in the past warrants US in antici-
pating still greater triumphs fer
this year. During the past nine
seasons they have appeared in everv
State in the Union. Their constant
ASSOCIATION with the public enables
them TO do class Of work which
should merit the patronage of all
music loving people. The Mozart
Symphony, Club consists Of an excel
lent string quartette, and owes it's
renowned reputation to the fact that
it is the only musical organization
whose members play solos on such
obsolete instruments as the Viola
d'Amour (often called Viola of Love-,
Da GAMBIA, Alphine Echo Horn ,
Cornet, Saxophone, Roman Trium-
phal Trumphet, etc. These solo
instruments enable the Club to give
programme more varied than any
other company with three times as
many members.
Thus is offered to the public the
strongest guarantee and assurance of
it's excellence. The careful arrange
ment OF the program will contain
works which are calculated to please
the general public as we'll as the

Growing Clover.

Hon. T. B, Terry, Hudson, Ohio.
Thirty odd years ago, went on to
a farm in Ohio, 80 run down that It
would scarcely grow weeds. One
acre yielded forty bushels of big and
little potatoes mostly little. The
previous years corn crop was not
harvested My first crop OF wheat
went 8 bushels to the acre, my neigh
bors called it "good." Yet in ten
or twelve years we were growing per
acre from 33 to 38 bushels OF wheat,
200 to 25O bushels of merchanta Ole
potatoes apd from four to FIVE tons OF
clover hay, in two cuttings. These
we're larger crops then the soil had
ever produced. By accident some
clover seed was sown the first spring
and as the season proved to be wet,
there was fair stand of clover.
When moved, we got more hay to
the acre; and when fed to the COWS
we got more milk. Later on | dis
covered that corn grown on this
clover sod, yielded equally we'll with
a thinly manured timothy sod. This,
then, was the result of growing
clover: More hay to the acre; better
hay-the COWS said so;-and increas-
ed fertility afterward.
At considerable risk and expense L
arranged my land for a rotation OF
crops in the following order, namely,
clover, potatoes, wheat; continuing
this rotation for many years. For
three or four years the gain was
slight; in six or eight years we were
pretty we'll satisfied; but with each
successive period of rotation the gain
continued until we were actually
growing as large crops as could stand
on the ground.
Now, how was this done? There
are three principal elements needed
to increase soil fertility. ma uely; nj.
trogen, phosphoric acid, and potash
If you burn anything, like brush or
stubble, the nitrogen goes into the air,
while the phosphoric acid and potash
remain. The air is the great store.
house of nitlogen. Eighty per cent OF
the air we breath is free nitrogen,
Thousands of dollars worth at market
prices is over every farm. The phos-
phoric acid and potash being mineral
matter, remain on the earth. The
mission of the clover plant is to feed
on the nitrogen and leave it in the
soil in an available foIm for other
crops. Corn, cats, wheat. timothy
etc., cannot use nitrogen until it has
been made available by clover and
similar plants. clover feeds largely
in the sub-soil, striking its roots deep
down, sometimes, six, eight or even
more feet, pumping up the phosphor-
lc acid and potash to the surface
where it can be used following crops.
On the roots of the clover are little
nodules, sometimes enormously called
seeds, which are ,ctories in which
many thousands of microscopic work
ers convert the free Nitrogen of the
air into nitric acid, in which form it
is used by plants.
A we'll arranged rotation OF crops,
in which clover is grown regularly
every third or fourth year is one OF a
series of steps by which very barren
and run down piece of land can in
time be brought to high degree of
fertility. 3..s.
