MAKING BIG FIGHT
AGAINST BAD FOOD.
By j, H. Worst, President North Da-

By j, H. Worst, President North Da-
kota Agricultural College.
For many years North Dakota was
the Mecca for travelling statesmen who
took orders from farmers and retail
grocers for canned goods. jellies. jams,
vinegar, spices and condiments that
were more or less ingeniously adulter-
lted to make them profitable and col
ored with foreign ingredients to make
them attractive.
Last winter the Legislative assembly
passed pure food law and made the
chemist of the experiment station,
Professor E. f. Laid, state chemist
and pure food commissioner. clothed
with power to enforce the law. II
there is one trait about Professor
Ladd that exceeds his fearlessness in
the discharge of his duty. it is his
honesty.
GRAFTON but few months, the amour;
and variety OF adulterated food already
discovered that has oeen foisted upon
the unsuspecting public, is amazing.

THE ORIGIN OF PEARLS.
BritlAh Scientlat 10 of the Opinion
That They Are Created by the
Actions of q Worm.

For many years the world has be-
lieved that pearls are the result of q
mechanical injury to the sherlfish in
whose shells they are found. The the
ory has been that grain of sand, or
something irritating like it, gets into
the shell and that the mollusc throws
of secretion to cover it, which finally
becomes the pearl.
The world has acce pted this explana-
ton, and practically all the text books
describe the formation of the pearl in
that way. Yet everybody who handles
pearls knows that there is no grain of
sand or any similar body in them.
Now Prof. II. L. Jameson, of the
Geological society, of London, asserts
that the theory is all wrong. He says
that both his studies and his expert
ments prove that the pearl is formed,
not because of an injury from inor-
ganic substances, but because of irri-
tation caused by worm.
This worm, according to Prof. Jane
son, is not sea worm. but a para
site of the elder duck. When the ducks
swim in the sea, the eggs of the para
site are deposited in the ocean and sink
to the bottom. There many of them
drift with other food into the currents
that flow over the pearl mussel and
pearl oyster beds and so they get into
the shells.
Here they are Matched out. The
young of the parasites then surround
themselves with a curious, transpar-
ent, almost invisible sac, and other
parasites are born in turn. They crawl
around the sea bottom till they finally
enter the pearl shells and bore them
selves into the mantle, which is the
skin between the shell and the body
of the shellfsh.
In this place the parasites discharge
small lime kernels, which irritate the
mantle of the shellfish until it, too, be-
gins to discharge a similar lime forma-
ton.
" Sometimes the parasite escapes be-
fore the lime wall has been built COM
pletely around it. Then the pearl
forms itself around the little kernels
discharged by it. Sometimes the worm
Is imprisoned and dies, and Jameson
says that he has been able to find the
remains of such worms in pearls.

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG.
Design Conceived and Drawn By q
Union Soldier Came to Be
Adopted.

X. T. Beauregard, of New Orleans,
La. gives the following account of the
design of the confederate flag, says the
Washington Star:
During the battle of Manassas Gen.
Beauregard had observed the difficulty
of distinguishing his own from the en-
emy's colors, and. in order to prevent
all error in the future, had determined
to adopt in his army a battle flag distinct
in color and design. He at first sought
to procure change in the confederate
flag itself, and Col. w. p. Miles. then
chairman of the house military COM
mittee, had caused, at his request, a
report to be presented to that effect,
but with no result. In a conference
between the (then) three senior Off
GERS, at Fairfax Court House, in Sep
TENDER, one of four designs for ba t.
tie flag, one, presented by Gen. Beau
regard. was adopted. 1t was a red
field with a diagonal blue cross, the
latter edged with white and bearing
white stars. To render it more port.
able it was made square, instead of
oblong, by order of Gen. Johnson.
''This beautiful design. by a strange
coincidence, had been previously de-
vised by Col. Miles and recommended
for the confederate flag to congress,
then in session at Montgomery, in
March, 1861. 1t had also been proposed
by Mr.. Edward c. Hancock, at the
request of Col. James B. Walton, at
New Orleans in the month of April.
1t had been offered by Col. Miles to
Gen. Beauregard in substitution for
one nearly similar in emblem and pat
tern. but different in the distribution
of colors suggested to him by Gen.
Beauregard when the latter was seek
ing to procure a change in the con-
federate flag. And it was now pro-
posed anew to the general by Col. Wal
ton. who had Mr.. Hancock's design.
''Thus, it will be seen that the de-
sign of the confederate battle flag was
conceived and drawn long before a
union soldier had tried his skill in wa
ter colors' on an original which. was
not and could never have reached the
hands of the generals lamented daugh-
ter. For she was little girl who was
in Louisiana during the whole of our
unfortunate war, and was seen by her
father only at its close"

AERIAL AUTOMOBILE.
II VIII Remain susncnded In the Air
at u Height Of Two or Three
". Meter0.

There is now being constructed in
Brussels new aerial machine the plan
of which is considerably more ambl-
tious than any of those that have been
evolved in the "empire of the air" W
to the present. The inventor, NJ. VIZ
lard, Frenchman, 33 years old, WIN
makes his home in Belgium, is aiming
to solve the problem of ''aerial aut~
mobilsm"-that is, to create a type
of automobile that will remain sus-
pended in the air at a height OF two or
three meters, in such way as to be
able to benefit in speed by the dimlnu-
ton in the resistance to the movement.
The reasoning is that resistance is less
on a steel surface than on the ground,
less on water than on steel, and stlil
less in the air than on water.
1t is said that this "aerial automo-
bile" can be raised over obstacles, such
as hedges, houses or trees. NJ. Willard

Scientific Mosauito BREEDING.

To get the eggs of a new species
of mosquitoes inhabiting South
Carolina swamp, DR.. w. c. Cocker, of
the University of North Carolina, had
to borrow the aid of horse. The
horse was driven into the low, ground
haunted by the mosquitoes, and when
he came out the insects were drill
ing through his skin. They were
carefully removed. put in a tin buck
ct, fed daily with blood from the
hand. and after about five days, to
the doctors great delight, they laid
their eggs in the water. 1t was to
procure and study these eggs that
he had taken all his trouble.

them the Battle Cry of Freedom"
The voices of the brothers were cleo
trifying, and in trumpet-like tones the
refrain:
THE Union forever: Hurrah, boys. hur-
rah!"
spread as if impelled by some magnet
ic influence, and almost instantly the
grand chorus rose in mighty music
from the vast multitude.
The song struck fire and leaped into
widespread popularity and usefulness.
Only few days after it was writ
ten a monstrous war meeting was held
in Union square, New York. Excite
ment ran high, and the emotion was in
tense. The Hutchinson family sang
the Battle Cry of Freedom and the
immense throng of listeners were
aroused to the highest pitch of exalta-
ton of soul.
The song was sung again and again,
and the great audience caught up the
refrain, and it proved a resistless force
in swelling the ranks of the army.
No other war song was sung with
holder patriotism or with a more tri-
umphant passion of the soul. 1t seemed
to mount up as if on wings Of magic,

He heard the far-off chorus as his com.

lie heard the clank Of saber, and the jang.

The rumbling of the cannons, where his
shouting messmates were;
He heard the hurried hoofbeats Of the
horses mettlesome,
And high above he saw the flag that beck.
: oned him: 20, Gomez
He saw them swing along the road-no,
T. graybeards, slow and bent.
All, no! He saw the boyish ranks of his
old regiment.
With rhythmic tread 1t held its line, with
filters piping shrill;
He saw the ragged colors that were wav.
ing to him still;
And calling-calling-ca came the
rolling of the drum:
Fall in! Fall in for dress parade! The
ranks are waiting! Gomez
The line wheeled when it neared him, and
as in the light of noon
He saw the forms of comrades who across
the south were strewn;
He saw the brave companion who had
battled by his side
The tears swelled up again just as they did
the day he died.
Then, Halt" the bugles sounded, and he
heard his wartime chief
Call in his kindest, clearest tones: This Is
the last relief!'
March on" The flag was waving. and
the soldiers marched away;
And ne went singing with them, far be-
yond thte Gates of Day.
The bugles pealing gladly and the line with
no more gaps
The bugles singing sweetly in that benson
of "Taps!'
And flies were mad and merry, and the
drums were laughing, too,
For he marched beside the colors as he led
