origin of the Grain weight.

The Druggists Circular and Chemical
Gazette publishes the following inter-
esting note on the origin of the grain
weight: BY an English law passed in
1866, it was provided that silver penny,
called a sterling, should equal in weight
80 wheat grains, well dried, and
taken from the center of the ear.
From this it seems eveident that the
grain of wheat was the prototype of the
standard grain. The weight now known
as the grain is of course copied from
governmental standards. In 1926 GER
tain weights and measures were legal
lied in England, and in 1927 copies of
these were furnished our government,
among them being the troy pound,
equivalent to 5.76O grains. The origin
of the signs commonly used for the scru-
pie, drachm and ounce does not seem to
be known. 1t is not unlikely that they
are entirely arbitrary.

found eating ripe raspberries and black

to the rose bush and foliage. The dam
age is done to the rosebud in which 1t
deposits its egg. The grub, on Matching.
feeds on the seeds of the rose apple, and
attains full size in it's birthplace. In
October it eats its.way out and disap-
pears into the ground.
The damage is done to the roses by
the holes bored in depositing the eggs,
a good many buds so punctured drying
up and dropping. Some, however, live
and bloom, and in these the larva grows.
The remedy is the hand picking of
the rose apples before the grubs emerge.
These affected buds can be told by the
iiscolored area on the side of the apple
in which the puncture was made when
the egg was inserted. Farmers Review.

BETHSAIDA,
A Tale of the Time of the Caesars-By
Malcolm Dearborn, Author
of "LiOneI ArdOn."

~AA
This story covers an interesting period.
that of the brutal Tiberius Caesar and the
rial and death of Christ. There are two
scenes IN which the Saviour figures, as he
Is being led 10 execution, and the effect his
presence produces on the two chief per.
sonages OF the story is graphically described,
The hero, ;Aristarchus, is Roman noble
OF great wealth. His father, Petronius, has
been doomed to death by order of Augustus
Caesar, whom he had unintentionally of
tended. On his last night on earth, while
Petronius was looking from the roof of his
palace, he witnessed a strange light in the
heavens, 1t rose, paused, vibrated, then
slowly disappeared in its course towards
Syria.
While he was still gazing at it, slave ap-
proaches and announces to him the birth OF
son. The Roman marvels, and at once as
sociates the wondrous light in the heavens
with the birth of his son. The light, of
course, was the star of Bethlehem, pro.
claiming the birth of Christ, whose influence
over Petronius' son makes up the main in
cidents of the story. That night Petronius
dies by his own hand to avoid the ignomin.
ous death planned for him by Augustus.
Aristarchus, grown to manhood, becomes
disguised with the materialism and vapid
luxury OF Rome, and is, moreover, involved
in quarrel with Tiberius during one of the
latters drunken orgies. He flies Rome, and
turns Eastward in his course. There he
learns of the strange fame of the "Naza,
rene" whom he forwith desires to see. His
wish is granted by sight of Jesus as he is
peing led to execution. The effect upon the
Roman is intense; its revolutionizes his
whole life.
The heroine, Bethsaida, who gives name
TO the story. is a maiden of humble birth, but
of strange character and commanding beau.
ty. Her father has trained her to be dane
ing girl at the court of Plate. She, too, sees
Christ as he. is being led to death, and the
effect wrought causes her to plan a flight
from the influence of Plate and his court.
Chance brings about meeting between her
and AristarchuS, and their mutual expe.
riences in the encounter with Christ form a
bond between the strangely assorted pair,
whose training and environment had been
SO foreign to one another.
The alternate bursts of tyranny and kindli
ness that distinguish PLATE, whose love for
MS wife, Claudia, despite his infidelity te
her, is his one saving trait, make an engag
ing study. Claudia herself will, doubtless,
appeal to many readers as the most loveabie
character in the book. Her justice, religious
sympathy and devotion are well depicted.
The tone of the book is that of unquestion.
ing belief in the miraculous birth and mis-.
sion of Christ.

SOIL FOR STRAWBERRIES.
Success Is More In the Man Than the
Variety, Land or Amy Other
Condition.

The question is often asked: What
varieties of strawberries are the best
for heavy clay soil? What for sandy
loan or for graveIly soil?
w. S. Crawford, of Ohio, an author
ity on strawberries, says that he does
not think the question can be answered
in a satisfactory manner As gem
eral thing varieties are not adapted
to special kinds of soil, and will do as
well on one kind as upon another,
provided they are furnished with the
food and drink they need, as they do
not depend upon the soil itself, but
upon the fertility that is held in solu-
ton around the grains of soil.
This brings out the fact that We
could hope for best results if we knew
just what was already in the soil, as
some kinds are likely to be wanting in
some of the needed elements and
there are some varieties that are not
as good as others in adapting them
selves to imperfect conditions. Some
good authorities state that the Candy
is not adapted to dry, sandy land.
This is because the land is dry and not
because it is sandy. In wet season.
or with irrigation, it will do as well
there as anywhere
Given nitrogen. potash. phosphoric
acid and water in sufficient quantities
and most any variety is not particular
what kind of soil it is started in,
for it will get them if they are there.
We advise not to plant some varieties
upon low land, not because it is low
merely, but because it is more likely
to be frosty because 1t is low. On
such land such sorts as the Nick
dinner or Marshal are likely to be
killed, while the Haviland would likely
grow good crop.
Then there are varieties that should
not be grown on heavy nndrained
land unless they can be well covered.
as they will not be able to hold them
selves in the ground, the freezing and
thawing causing them to heave badly.
Success is more in the man than the
variety, land. climate or any other
condition, says Mr.. Crawford. for the
man who knows how and will use his
knowledge will to great extent over
come urfavorable conditions-Farm-
ers' Voice.

where Earthquakes start.

The great earthquakes are traced by
a committee of the British association
to eight districts, of which seven are
beneath the ocean. Five fringe the
shores of the Pacific, one is in the In
dian ocean, one in the West Indies. and
the eighth is in the Caucasian Hima-
layan region. Each of these earth
quakes shook the entire earth, while the
broken-up strata left gave numerous
after shocks. The earthquake move
ment is propagated around the globe
at the uniform rate of about two miles
per second, but through the earth the
rate increases with the depth of about
seven miles per second.
