Local Advices Report Product So
Light That Evaporators May
Not Be Operated.

SEATTLE. July 15.-Washington's
prune crop this year is destined to be
almost a total failure. according to the
advices reaching tbs local trade. p.
F. Kelley of the Kelley Clarke COM
pany. yesterday stated that he esti-
mated the crop at about one-tenth of
what it was last season. Several
past month that the season was an ex-
ceptionally poor one for the prune
growers, but the extent of the depre-
citation in the output was not definite
ly known until the past week. The
condition of the fruit at this time,
however. is claimed to make a one
tenth estimate a conservative one. Mr..
Kelley said:
In Clarke county, where last year
the output was between $50 and $50
cars, it is probable that the evapora-
tors will not even be operated this
season. Inc shortage, 50 ldT do VIC
are able to tell, applies to the entire
state and to Oregon. When the trees
first blossOmed the pollen fell off pre-
maturely for some unknown reason.
and to this cause is assigned the fall
ure of the crop"
Mr.. Kelly discredits the statement
that Washington prunes have been ex-
ported to France and later returned 10
this country and sold as French goods.
He says the difference between the
two fruits is such that only the rank
est novice could be mistaken. WASH
ington fruit is large and rough, with
a sub-acid flavor. while the French
pr1ne is smooth, rather small and
very sweet. He referred to special
report submitted by United States
Consul Tourgee, at Bordeaux. France

GETS A TEMPORARY INJUNCTION

TRENTON, July 15.-United States
Judge Bradford came here today from
Wilmington and filed his opinion in
the famous Securities case. The re-
suit of his opinion is that prelimin-
airy injunction is granted enjoining
the carrying out of the proposed plan
to distribute the stock of the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern. The
judge says that the litigation Is not
ripe for the final hearing and that q
provisional injunction is granted in
order to protect the rights of the COM
plainantS because should the final de-
cisiOn result in favor of the complain
ants there would be assets left for dis
tributiOn without a preliminary in
junction. The merits of the main
question raised are not passed upon.
The court said that such a prelim-
mary injunction would not interfere
with the operation of either railroad
nor be injurious to the public.

MEASURING THE EARTH.
Recent Appliances Used in the Science
Geodesy.

Recent Appliance Used in the Science
Geodesy.
The science of geodesy is making
rapid strides along the line of accur-
acy and there Is not much left to be
perfected In the way Of method, says
the Philadelphia Record. The all-im-
portant problem of modern as well as
ancient geodesy, of course, is the
measurement of the dimensions of the
earth, which enters into all practical
work of surveying, navigation and ter
restrial physics The International
Geodetc Association several years ago
undertook the problem, the different
nations having agreed to contribute
their share toward an accurate deter
minaion. As has already been record
ed, the determination WAS undertaken
in Ecuador In 1901, and extended
from the Colombian to the Peruvian
frontier, and every possible refinement
to attain the maximum degree of ac-
curacy was adopted. The greatest diff
hcuity Is to secure an accurate base
line, which Is complicated by so ap-
parently trivial thing as the expan-
sion of the measuring medium. The
latest refinement in the bar method is
that originated by the United States
coast and geodetic survey, using a sin
gle bar immersed In melting Ice. the
containing trough being carried on
suitable car upon temporary track
Later still, NJ. Guillaume discovered
an alloy Of "a per cent steel and 81
per cent nickel possessed an exceed
ingly low coetficient Of expansion and
consequently offers the best medium
for accurate base-llne measurements
This alloy Is known as "inyar" and Is
usually employed in the form OF wire
supported by tripods and stretched by
definite weight A very valuable
piece OF work on the island of Spitz-
bergen was completed with the use OF
this alleged wire.
Even the intinitesimal variation In
the force Of gravity at different por-
tons of the earth is not too insignlf-
cant to be regarded and must be de-
termined and correction applied.
This delicate determination is made by
observing the pressure OF the atmos.
phere by the determination Of the boil
Ing point OF water and comparing the
same with the barometric reading, the
difference, II any, being considered
due to a variation in the action of the
force Of gravity upon the mercury.

When the early translations OF the
Bible were being made, history was
unfolding itself at rapid rate In the
British empire. Much of the work was
done by Professionals, who were driven
into exile for their religious beliefs.
The Geneva translation was the out
come of such an exile.
After Henry Wills stand against
the Pope, the cause OF Catholicism
az the established religion was lost
one, but 1t was not until later, during
the reign of King James. that the au-
thorized version OF 1911 was translat.
ed for use in the Church of England
The American version is the King
James version revised, annotated and
brought up to date.
Other books of reference here are
the Cyclopedias OF Biblical Literature,
the Jewish Cyclopedia, commentaries
of various sorts and concordances. A
Catholic dictionary contains a descrip-
ton of the doctrines and rites of this
church, and was published In England.

The custom of the Sen Mn Riki Is
one that has risen in Japan during the
present war. Ever since the war be
gan, at all times Of the day, and even
night, small groups of women can be
seen gathering in the streets; one or
more Of the women will have a piece
of cotton cloth with one thousand
marks or dots stamped upon it. Sen"
Is the Japanese word for one thou
sand. ''Nln" is the word for human
being-either man or woman "Riki"
Is, in the Japanese language, strength.
In combination the words mean 1.-The
strength of one thousand people"
Each one of these one thousand dots
or marks in the cloth are to indicate
the place where stitch or knot Is to
be made by woman. who, while max
ing this knot, gives her best thought,
wish or prayer for the safety and pro-
lection Of the soldier who will wear
this piece of cotton cloth as an "obi"
or belt while fighting for his country
The prayers of one thousand women
for one man are believed to protect
him from all dangers and to give him
strength to overcome and conquer the
enemies OF his beloved Japan--Les-

ALL ABOUT THE BIBLE.
Washington Library Well Stocked with
Lore of the Book.

1t may be an interesting fact to
some people that the Bible Is one Of
the reference books in the Washington
Public Library, that four shelves are
filled with an excellent assortment Of
biblical literature, and that every Sat
urday one or more ministers of the
gospel seek this place of books to look
up references for the sermons with
which they instruct the public from
their pulpits on Sunday morning.
Information concerning the Bible is
about as limited as can be- Probably
very few persons, if told that the H.
brary contains the three versions Of
the Bible" would be able to say what
these three versions are. In point of
fact they are the Douay, the King
James and the American version.
Ever since the events that made
biblical history occurred have accounts
of these same been written. And as
civilization spread and gave rise to
new people speaking new tongues,
these earlier accounts were translated
into different tongues to meet human
needs.
In the first place, there is in the IL
brary a book which contains all the
English translations from the original
Greek text. The book is called the
English Hexapia. The Greek text oc-
cupies the upper part of the page and
the six translations are side by side
in columns underneath. These trans
lations are the Wiclif, published In
1890; the Tyndall, in 1884; the Gran
mer, 1893; the Geneva, 1857; the
Rheems, 1892, and the authorized YER
sion, 1911.
What Is called the Douay version is
made up of the New Testament pub
lished in Rheims In 1892 and Of the
Old Testament Of the Douay version.

old, may be regarded as a very inter.
esting person, inasmuch as she fur
nishes a connecting link between the
war for independence and the present
day-a time-break OF 125 years
Though she herself did not witness the
birth of this great republic her hus-

What Is the Date of This Year.
