The meeting Of the National Grange
in Portland has drawn increased
attention to this order. Delegates
from twenty-six states reported and
showed US that although the Grange
in Oregon is small part Of the order,
yet we belong to and form an essential

ployed in agriculture, the leading and
most important industry of any
Nation. The delegation were delight
ed, and 50 expressed themselves, with
their reception.
The Lewis and Clark Ladies' Club

pleased the visitors from East of the
Rockies were the roses in full bloom,
luxuriant ivy, and the Strawberries
and cream with each meal.
The tour on the Southern Pacific
railroad to Corvallis and back on the |
East side, was II great success. Every
where welcomed with enthusiasm, our
friends could not say enough by way
OF appreciation. At McMinnville, each |
delegate was presented with a small |
boquet of carnations and roses. and
one lady delegate, from a full heart,
said to the presents, "Oh, you are the
dearest things in Oregon!" Many
expressed the intention of coming to
our Fair next year, and this visit of

Wise POrkera.

The hog is not usually given much
credit for knowledge, but the Maine
woodsman tells this story to show that
there are exceptions in the hog family.
It seems that mill company raises and
has on hand nearly all the time pigs
and hogs around their wood comps.
Last season several families of pigs
first saw daylight at Redmond's camp,
but before they were many weeks old
they were moved with their mothers
some two miles down to the landing
camp. Here they were kept until this
fall, the old ones having gone the way
that fat hogs generally go. A few days
since these pigs of the past, the hogs Of
to-day, got out of their pens and started
off. A man might easily miss the way
to Redmond's, as there are man roads
but this boar brigade in solemn! array
went directly to their old home at Red
mond's camp.-Bangor (Me.) CONNER

SOUThLAND'S WINTER.

Ev'ry morn and eve is misty
Till the market tower stands
Looking like far cathedral
Wrought with unseen fairy hands.
And the city's like picture
Woven on a dreamland loom,
And the air is heavy weighted
With faint ana sweet perfum.,
And the mist is warm and coaxing
AS soft kiss on the mouth,
And the roses still are blooming
When it's winter in the South.
And the bayous seem to slumber
Where the cypress trees are tall;
And the mockbird croons an anthem.
Like the shadow of call
From an angel choir to listen,
And enough leaves eddy down
Just to make a bronze-hued carpet
In the by-Ways of the town:
And the red rose CLEANS all winter
Through the perfume-laden mist,
Like the lips your own lips yearn for,
Red, red lips your own have kissed.
There are morning glory blossoms
And the four-o clocks unclose,
And long pearl-robed webs are streaming
From the bush where flames the rose;
And the air is opalescent,
And the grass shines misty through
All the whiteness Of the morning
Like green world dipped in dew.
And the red and yellow roses,
And the twisty bayous CLEAN:
When it's winter in the Southland
Life's a sweet and perfumed dream.

AN ECHO DOCTOR q, {: R.
Expert In Washington Who Guaran-
tees to Repair Acoustics Of
Any Building.

An echo physician is the latest addi-
ton to the ranks of professional men in
Washington. Some time ago young
college graduate hung out a sign that
bore, beneath his name, the inscription,
expert Acoustician.'
That this doesn't convey much to tho
average mind is evinced by the number
of strangers who call at the young
mans Office just to find out what an ex-
pert acoustician may be, says a report
from that city.
Recently the owners or managers of
every theater and hall of any size in
Washington received an advertising
booklet from the expert acoustician, a
portion of which read as follows:
Echoes removed. No reconstruction
involved. Sound volumes strengthened,
softened or altered 10 suit without in
convenience or interruption of business.
Quick work and accurate results guar
anteed. Reasonable rates.
To anybody who ever owned a thea
ter or music hall with acoustics that
wouldn't behave the above announce
ment is considered sufficient to explain
what the young man proposes to do;
but the expert had been called upon more
than once to explain that his business
does not include the determination of
echoes from mountains, caverns and the
like, and in fact that he doesn't propose
to bother with any outdoor echoes.
But he says that he can doctor the
acoustics of any room, hall or theater
and that the result can be accomplished
without so much as scraping the
paint.
He accomplishes his results by the
application to different parts of the hall
whose acoustics he had been called
upon to doctor of padding, rugs, car
pets, draperies, hangings and the like.
According to his statements hall can
be filled with all sorts of upholstery
without remedying it's acoustics in the
least, while the proper location of sound
assimilators, buffer1and the like will
accomplish wonders.
The usual duration of an echo in a
properly constructed theater or hall is
between ~ and 21a seconds. Some
halls that the expert acoustician cured
by his sound assimilators had six, sew
en- and eight-minute echoes.
THE doctors keep the undertakes
busy" he remarked, land I'm sure the
architects will leave enough sick acous-
tics in their wake to make my business
as an echo physician profitable one -

THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE.
May Have Been Found in Radium IL, q
Wonder of the Chemical
World.

What is becoming of our science of
chemistry? Our century-old atomic
conceptions have received rude shock:
the law of the conservation of energy,
to which everything in this universe
was supposed to be subservient, is at
tackled; and now we seem to be revert
ing to the dream of the medieval al
enthusiastically thinking of the trans
mutation. OF metals, says the Scientific
American.
This, at least, is what we have come
to, after the announcement made by
Sir William Ramsay that radium ap-
parently changes to helium In con-
junction with Lord Rayleigh he carried
on series of experiments which ended
in the discovery of argon and helium
"a discovery which deserves to be con-
sidered one of the most noteworthy
achievements in chemical physics of
the nineteenth century.
Sir William Ramsay caught the heavy
gas which radium emanates, gas SO
evanescent that it disappears after a
time; he found that gradually it's spec
trum, entirely different fromsany hither-
to recorded, displayed the characteris-
tic yellow line of helium. Day by day
the helium line grew brighter. In a
word, one element seemed to have
changed to another.
Are we not perhaps on the verge Of
some great generalization, which will
ultimately prove that just as we have
many kinds of forces, all manifestations
of one great force, SO we may have 70
odd elements, hitherto regarded as SIM
pie forms of matter distinct from each
other, but in reality mere manifesta-
tons of but one matter?
what is this?" asked Sir William
Ramsay, "but an actual case of that
transmutation of one element into an
other in which the ancient alchemists
believed when they painfully sought to
change lead into gold and incidentally
founded the modern science of chem
istry?"
Clearly, there are more things be-
tween heaven and earth than are
dreamed of in our chemical philosophy.
