Each evening four Josephites occupy
some corner in the city and proclaim
their faith. The part of their argu-

an attempt TO prove or disprove that
the Latter-day Saints were command
ed by the Lord to come to the noun
tains. Just what difference a settle
ment of this question makes is I'M
known to us, but the fact that the
Lattcr-day Saints are here, are highly
prosperous and likely to remain and
rule the roost for years to come would
seem to be sufficient to ward off an ar
gument of this kind. Anyhow, if serv-
ing the Lord properly depends upon
the settlement of such trivial questions
then away with the whole thing

Important Transfer.

Nh Geo. Menagh has purchased OF
II. c. Laub the valuable business pre-
perty on Broadway now occupied by
Menagh's grocery and the Cassaday
drug store. The consideration is sa'd
to be $4,000. The sale is more inn
portant in its potentiallties than for the
immediate future. The property sq,i
includes the real estate on which pal-
ton of The Boys Store now stands.
Mr.. Hunt informs us that his firm has ii
lease covering nearly two years longer.
This will probably prevent any nem
building being erected during that
time Norhing could be learned az 10
MI Menagh's plans. although if is
rumored that the property now &c
cupied by Haugh & Drummer and NJ.
Nj. Bamford has been sold either 10
MI Menagh or another party. This un-
doubtedly means the ultimate construc-
tion Of that part Of Broadway and will
probably necessitate the erection of
other portions OF the city.

Trees That save Houses.

Every one likes to see homes sur
rounded by trees, yet many people
are afraid that by doing SO they they
invite danger from lightning shocks.
1t viii be, therefore, Of general inter-
est to learn that trees with leaves that
are long-pointed or spear-shaped are
lightning proof. This curious theory
has been set d wn as fact by Can
adam, John Hugh Ross. Thatit is
disputed does not detract from its IN
terest.
"Wlllow trees are never struck, be
states with decision. Willow and
other long-pointed leaves drooP IN fine
weather, and to greater degree Cd
the approach of rain or electric dis
turbance. Trees that are not upright
in growth, but spreading or dropping,
are seldom struck, but pines, oaks and
Lombardy are. These are all upright.
Trees with thick, smooth upper
cuticle are often struck, without re-
gard to their height. Trees OF this
class should not be planted near
dwellings. The coming of an electric
storm may often be detected by the
dropping attitude of certain plants
and leaves; they are one Of natures
many warnings of coming events.
Plants that l have noticed tc droop be-
fore rain or electric disturbances are
the wild oxali8, Canada or wood violet

during a storm. The farmer does not
understand why, but he knows the
elms are rarely struck by lightning,

Real MeerSchaum.

Meerschaum is not foam Of the sea as
many suppose, but silicate of mag
nesia.
The raw material comes from Asia
Minor, wherefrom the Turkish Govern
ment derives a great deal Of revenue.
1t is extracted much the same way
as coal. Near Eski-Shehlr, an impor-
tant station on the Anatclian Railway,
where rich deposits are found, pits
from 25 to 125 feet deep are dug, as
soon as the vein is struck horizontal
galleries, sometimes OF considerable
length, are made.
Tie stone as extracted is called ham
fash Trough block), and is soft enough
to be easily cut with knife.
1t is white and is covered by red
clayey soil.
The manipulation required before 1t
is ready for export is long and costly.
There is some found in Spain, but 1t
is not suitable, being too full of flaws.
The first piece Of meerschaum was
brought into Hungary by nobleman
about the year 1900, who gave 1t to a
cobbler on his estate (who was some
what of a genius to carve into pipe
bowl. As he was mending shoes,
thereby using wax, some Of it got on
the bowl, winch caused the pipe to col
or when smoked.
The smoke drawn through the meer-
schaum, which is porous, settles on the
surface, which is fatty substance
wax.
When pipe is overheated it evapO-
rates the wax and then the chemical
process is lost.
Meerschaum is German for sea foam,
which it was formerly supposed to be.
