consivnment of silk Worm Eggs.

Washington Telegram to New York News which the Department of Agriculture has made within thirteen years is being sent to miscellaneous addresses today. Each of the parcels has been tested according to the Pasteur method to be sure that the eggs are not diseased.
 In appearance the eggs are much like shad roe which has been colored dull slate blue. They are packed in small tin boxes with holes perforated in their sides and tops. and these boxes are placed in others made of light and thin wood. In this manner the eggs can be shipped in definite distances without injury.

Story of a Country Editor.

The following story was printed recent ly by The Philadelphia Times:
 The editor of & rural newspaper was In Philadelphia during the week following the shooting of President Mckinley and noted with surprise the promptness of the newspapers to bulletin-board the hourly reports of the Presidents condi- tion. He determined to adopt the idea return home. Soon afterward he was told one morning by the local physician that Deacon Jones was seriously i'll. The dea- con was a person of some distinction in the community, so the editor posted a se- ries of bulletins as follows:
 '10 a. m.-Deacon Jones no better.
 I'll a. m.-Deacon Jones has relapse.
 '12:30 p. m.-Deacon Jones weaker. Pulse falling.
 T D. m.-Deacon Jones has slight rally.
 '2l5 p. m.-Deacon Jones's family has
 "3:1O D. m.-Deacon Jones has died and gone to heaven"
 Later in the afternoon a travelling sales man happened by, stopped to read the bulletins. and. going to the bulletin board made another report concerning the de- ceased. 1t was:
 "4:1O D. m.-Great excitement in heav- en! Deacon Jones has not yet arrived" !"

 The Demopolis Dispatch of this week says:
 Hon. Gesner Williams. sometime May or of Demopolis, a leading lawyer and one of its most progressive and enter prising citizens. leaves soon for Los Angeles, Cal, where le will make his future home and practice his profession. | MT Williams has been resident of DemopolisIfor the past twelve years. He married here. was elected to the cttyaS highest office, and has always been iden- tified with every movement that tended to upbuild 1t. As Mayor he was a model officer. and during his regime several important industries were induced to lo- cate in Demopolls. In 1901 he was elected as delegate from Marengo County to the late Constitutional Convention. in which body he served with distinction and honor. His party fealty has been un- questioned, and our people have always given him. politically, all that he has asked for
 We feel assured that MT Williams will distinguish himself politically and professionally In his new home, and The Demopolis Dispatch wishes him every success. We feel assured that California will be enriched by his citizenship. We know that Alabama will sustain loss by his departure

OUR NEAREST COSMIC KIN.
If Message from Mars Should Come
We Could Not Answer.

If man were not a being of such dis
tressingly limited powers, if only he
could bridge a few millions of miles of
atmosphere and ether and hold rational
communication with an order of being
different from himself and probably of
a much higher degree of intelligence
the papers might snow presently have
something to print that Would not mere
ly relieve this summer of all possible
dullness in the news line, but make it
the most memorable summer in the
earth's history. For the Inhabitants of
the planet Mars, the most interesting of
our cosmic neighbors, are making an
other attempt, apparently, to be SOcla BILE
with us. Professor Percival Lowell of
Boston, who has specialized in Marian
astronomy for the past ten years, has
observed a brilliant projection from the
edge of the planets disk which admits
no natural explanation and consequent
ly must be supposed TO be artificial. If
it is artificial it must have a purpose,
and from its position and character the
presumption is that that purpose is to
attract our attention and tell US some-
thing or at least get an answering sig
nal.
Unhappily, however. we are such puny
crea lures, cosmically considered, as
puny in mind probably as in body, that
we can do nothing to assist the Mar
tians in the commendable enterprise IN
which they are engaged or even to make
known to them our reciprocal interest in
what they are trying to do. Our cosmi-
cal cousins on the extraordinarily peace
full planet which anonymously has so
warlike a name may from the known
physical conditions of their world be 80
times more efficient than we are in all
physical enterprises; and as their world
is much older than ours and has given
consequently much longer Tune Tor tine
evolution process to go on it is to be pre-
sumed that they are also much in ad-
vance of US intellectually. They may
well have inventions and appliances OF
which we have not yet begun even to
dream, methods of communication in
comparison with which our wireless tel
egraph would be hopeiessly antlquated
they may easily be able to make sig
nal that can be seen by us. But we
cannot make a return signal that can be
seen by them. If we ever do receive
veridic message from Mars we snail pc
unable so far as can now be seem
either to answer or even to acknowledge
it.-Providence Journal.
