Farms Are Big In Dakota.

Yes, sir" resumed the Dakota far

sir; we do things on rather a stable

big farms start out in the spring and
pillow a great furrow until autumn. Then
he turned round and harvested back.
We have some big farms up there gent
lemen. A friend of mine owned one which
he had to give a mortgage on, and l
pledge you my word the mortgage was
due at one end before they could get it
recorded at the other. You see. it was
laid out in counties. And the worst of it
is it breaks up families So Two years
ago l saw a whole family Frustrated with
grief-women yelling, children bowling,
and dogs barking. One of my men had
his camp truck packed on seven four

The First Atlantic Steamship.

The first steamship that succeeded in
crossing the Atlantic ocean was the Sa-
vannah a vessel of about $50 tons bur
den, measuring 100 feet in length. She
was built in New York city by Francis
Pickett in 1915 and was a ull-rigged
ship, with side paddle wheels that could
be unshipped and taken on deck In
stormy weather. Under the command of
Capt. Stevens Rogers, this vessel sailed
from Savannah on May 20, 1919, but did
not venture on the high seas until the
25th of the month. She reached Liver
pool on June 90 after an ocean voyage
of 26 days, during 16 of which she used
her paddles Off Cape Clear she was
mistaken for ship on fire, and was pur-
sued by the British cutter, Kite. The
Savannah afterward visited ST. Peters,
burg Copenhagen, Stockholm and other
foreign ports. Capt. Rogers, having fall
ed to dispose of his vessel to the king of
Sweden, started for home, and reached
Savannah on Nov 80, 1873 The engines
and boilers were afterward removed and
the ship was used as sailing packet be-
tween New York and Savannah. She
was finally wrecked off the south coast
of Long Standardization Globe.

WHAT is THE MILKY wAYT
Australian Amateurs Solution Of an
Astronomical Puzzle.

A novel theory as to the Milky Way
has been evolved by S. L. Adams, All
amateur astronomer, of Sydney, N. S.
w. This luminous phenomenon, IT.
appears, is really shadow.
"The Milky Way" says Mr.. Adams,
els constantly being seen at many
different angles and in many parts OF
the sky, but it always preserves tie
same luminous front arising from r.
telescope stars in it's background.
"Now, as this background is con
stantly changing, and the luminous
effect is only seen wherever the fore
ground happens to be the Milky Way,
it is evident that it is not the tele'
scopic stars themselves which prt.
duce the effect, but something pro-
jected on the foreground of the sky
That something is the earth's shadow
"1'ne supposed Nebulae,' continues
Mr.. Adams, are all shadows, and this
explains their contempt for the laws
of gravltation and their refusal to con-
form to the globular shape assumed
by celestial objects generally They
are sp6ts Of shadow representing
mountains or mountain ranges on the
earth
Mr.. Adams anticipates that his dis
covery will be received with smiles
of incre5ulity, but he expresses his
belief that his view will one day be
accepted rs correct. He is to read a
paper on 'he subject before the local
branch c( the British Astronomical
Associatica.-L Mail.

FRoo RAISING INDUSTRY.

Recognizing the growing demand
for frogs a. an article of epicurean
diet, the Fishing Commission Of the
State of Pennsylvania has decided to
encourage the raising of tadpo'es TO
farmers and others who are in a posi-
ticn to take up frog raising as an in
dustry. Heretofore there has beSn
little systematic attempt to supply
the market with frogs. In vacation
days bands of boys have hunted the
marshlands in search of the croakers,
knowing that they were sure Of
little pocket money for the trouble
of taking a basketful of bulls" to
market.
The method of catching the frogs
has been to fish for them with hook
and line, the, bait being piece OF
red flannel. TIE game will jump for
this delusive temptation and find it.
self caught on the hook Another way
the boys ilave Of obtaining supply
of frogs for the market is to shoot
them with small shot from an air
rifle. The regular fishermen, those
who exc out living by catching
frogs when fish are scarce, and who
ply tneir trade iM the swamplands of
Jersey and elsewhere, depend on
net and the Quickness of their hand
to capture the elusive quarry.
With only these irregular sources
of supply the marketman have been
unable to furnish their customers
with steady quantity of frogs, and
at times the caterers have been com
pelled to withdraw the item from
their menus. The law governing sup
ply and demand has put the price OF
frogs i'll these Eimes to a figure that
makes it actually profitable to raise
them for market purposes, aad the
State of Pennsylvania intends to as
sist all who wi gh to take up the in
dustry by supplying the nucleus for
a froggery.
Epicures say that fried frog is a
dainty fit for king. Some eat only
the legs. In the markets. however,
frogs are exhibited in their entirety.
minus the Skin 1t is said that all
parts of the frog are edible, but some
limit their desires to the hind legs.

advanced the theory that atmospheric
pressure plays an important part in
determining the occurrence of strokes
of apoplexy, states the New York Com
mercial. He cited the wen known
fact that at certain times there seem
to be short lived epidemics of apo
plexy; that these are coincident with
a rise of the barometer; therefore, he
argues, the increased air pressure is
probably the cause of the excessive
number of apoplectic seizures.
