II CROP REPORT.
Abundant Rains Have Fallen In Corn
Belt.

Belt.
WASHINGTON-The weekly crop
report issued by the weather bureau
Is as follows:
The drouth prevailing in portions
Of the central valleys in the previ-
Gus week has been relieved by abun-
liant rains, but drouth continues in
central and western Tennessee n
is beginning to be felt in the middle
gulf states and over a considerable
part Of Texas. The central and north
ern Rocky mountain districts and the
north Pacific coast region are also
suffering from drouth, the prevalence
of forest fires being reported from
Idaho and Montana. The latter part
of the week was too cool in the lake
region and unseasonably low temper
atures occurred in the northern
Rocky mountain districts and upper
Mississippi valley on the 21st and
22d, but elsewhere east Of the Rocky
mountain district the temperature
has been favorable.
The principal states have expert
enced a week of good conditions,
abundant rains having fallen through.
out the corr belt, except In portions
of Ohio and Nebraska. Corn has
made satisfactory progress in most
of the Missouri valley and is gener-
ally improved in the central Missis.
sippi and Ohio valleys, although a
considerable part of the crop in the
Ohio valley has been injured beyond
recovery. In the middle Atlantic
states and lower Missouri valley
early corn is now partly matured.
Spring wheat harvest is generally
northern Minnesota, where rust Is
continuing to cause great injury.
Rains in North Dakota In the latter
part of the week interrupted harvest
ing. Harvesting is also nearly fin
ished on the north Pacific coast.
Reports indicate a general scarcity
of apples in the greater part Of the
middle Atlantic states and central
valleys, but in New England, New
York and the lake region the outlook
is more favorable, a good crop being
promised in the two last mentioned
sections.
The reports respecting potatoes in
dictate a good crop is generally prom.
ised in the more prominent potato
producing states. Drouth has i'm.
paired the outlook in portions Of the
Ohio valley, however, and rot and
blight are increasing in Pennsylvania.
Throughout the central valleys and
middle Atlantic states the soil is in
fine condition for fall blowing, which
work is in general progress and well
advanced in some places.

To tell you about the Majestic
Cooking Exhibit we had from the
24th to the 29th of October. 1t
was the same old success, as we
sold twelve of the Majestic Steel
Ranges in one week-that's not
so bad-and we have many good
prospects for more sales.
Remember the Majestic is the
only range on the market with
malleable top that you can't
break, and it will not warp. 1t
has 100 pounds Of iron in the FIRE
box alone, and same is in sections
and any one can replace it. The
sides and oven is made of number
16 boiler steel, riveted with soft
ri7ets, the oven is made in sec
tions, not in one piece, and will
not warp out of shape, also the
oven is braced and riHeted. No
fancy work on the Majestic, . it
is the plain old time Majestic,
built to give satisfaction and last.

Military life is necessarily made up
largely OF ioafng. You cannot keep a
man continuously at drilling, marching
or any other branch of military train
ing for eight hours a day and five or
six days a week. You have to invent a
great many other jobs for him, even to
make a pretense OF keeping him occu-
pied. But these Jobs are nearly all
''loafing' jobs, and when it is all done
the soldier has a great many more idle
hours on his hands per diem than any
other man in the same rank of life
do not know whether il is possible TO
arrive at any remedy for this. but, II
ii is, the direction in which | should
look for the remedy would be TO make
every soldier work at some other trade
for a certain number OF hours each
day, The number Of hours might be
shorter in the summer. when there is
more opportunity for training and mill
taEy exercise. and longer in the ysuter.
II his were practicable. no doubt If
would make an enormous difference to
the value Of the soldier as a citizen

SOLAR MOTION.
The Little We Know About Where
the sun Is Going.

The Little We Know About Where
the sun Is Going.
Can we find out anything about the
motions of our solar system? The old
astronomer, before the invention Of
spectroscopic methods, could attack
the problem only by consideration OF
certain stellar ACTIONS. 1t has been
found that these motions are not alto
gether casual in character, as we
should expect, but there is tendency
to a grouping of the motions-an ar
rangement other than fOrtuitous. 1t
appears that the individual stars form
ing the so called consultations on the
sky are slowly closing up near a GER
tain point of the heavens and as slow
ly opening out near a point diametric-
ally opposite. This is just what we
should expect ii the solar system is APP
preaching the point where the stars
are opening out The phenomenon has
been compared to what we see when a
regiment of soldiers marches toward
us. At first there is visible a.confused
mass of men only, but as distance di-
minishes the ranks open out until each
individual becomes at last plainly visi-
BILE.
In this way it has been possible to de-
termine approximately the position on
the sky of the apex of solar motion,
or that point toward which our solar
system is at present travelling. 1t is in
the constellation Hercules. We are
obliged to assume that our path is for
the moment straight line. But we
mean that moment which began
when James Bradley commenced the
first star catalogue of modern precision,
about 1850, and which will end long
after present generations of men have
passed away. SO mighty is the orbit
in question that many centuries must
come and go as moments before we can
hope to detect the orbits curvature.
We are like travellers in the famous
"corkscrew" tunnel Of the ST. Gothard
railway. Trains enter on a low level
and after going around huge curve
cut in the mountain emerge from the
tunnel again on higher level and at a
point almost directly above the en-
trance. Passengers while in the dark
tunnel often amuse themselves by
watching the needle of a pocket COM
pass, which makes a complete revolu-
ton during the passage. But without
the compass they could not know wheth-
er the train was moving on . straight
or curved track, and so we passengers
of the solar system, too, cannot know
mic track is straight or curved until.
like the compass. the astronomers in
struments shall tell us the truth.-Har-
old Jacoby, Phi. D., in Harper's Weekly.
