RIFLE AND THE SUGAR BEET.

The possibilities of the sugar beet
industry in this immediate vicinity
are inestimable at the present time,
The favorable consideration that is
just now being devoted to this tuber
crop would indicate that ii is destined
to become the leading agricultural
product of the Grand valley. The
prospective results reported by those
who are this year attempting the ex-
pertinent of raising sugar heets is par
ticularly encouraging and if the re
suits are commensurate herewith
there will he no scarcity of farmers
who will be willing to turn their at

HINT FOR HEALTH SEEKERS

1t is truism that health can
not be maintained without a GER
tain amount of fresh air and exer-
else.
1T is a good rule" advised a
medical man, ''to take regularly
once week spell Of more pro
longed exercise up to four or five
hours. Those who live in town
ought to spend this time. if pos.
sible in the country for the sake
of the purer air and the change of
scene.
THE benefit is increased if only
a very small quantity of food is
taken during the walk-a sand,
witch, a few biscuits, and an apple
or orange. One of the notable ef.
fects Of a walk under such condi.
tons is that the body loses an ap.
preclable amount of weight.
This loss consists mainly of wa.
ter and salts exuded through the
skin, lungs, and the kidneys. The
result IS that the tissue, thus re-

FOUND ON MISSOURI FARM
Old "Fusees" Buried During the
Civil War Recently Brought
to Light.

W. d. Short, who lives near Rdt-
ledge, has recently dug up on his
form Ga old muslets which have
been buried since the spring of
1868, reports the Salisbury MOI
Press spectator The farm where
Mr.. Short lives was once owned by
his father in the time of the civil
war, and the story of the guns is an
interesting one.
Col. Glover, with force of
union soldiers, had camped near
the Short homestead and was pre-
pairing supper when a troop of con
federate cavalry dashed upon
them and captured the company.
Col. Glover's soldiers were
equipped with fuse guns, an
army musket superseded through
out the army by more modern
weapons long before the war
closed. The confederate troopers
took the guns, but finding they had
no ammunition for the old style
weapons left them or the farm of
Mr.. Short.
The possession of so formidable
a display of arms at that period,
when even a squirrel rifle was on
the prohibited list, very much
alarmed Mr.. Short and his family,
&2d that night a trench was dug,
tire guns piled in and covered over.
II ere the weapons have rested un
til one day recently, when W. D..
Shot by accident found the rest
ing place of the old tirelocks and
bre CHIT them to light.
F g stocks are all rotted off and
the ron barrels, rods and bayOnets
ca n with rust, but they show
pIa My the style of the gun, and
loo S and bands are all intact.
Since his find has become known
Nh Short has been besieged b.
rolio hunters for the old guns and
he 'tae ei-sn them out to all appli-
@,arfs 5 souvenirs until all but
two or three of the guns are gone.

SCIENTIFIC USE OF KITES
Successfully Used in Meteorological
Observations and Life-Sav-
ing Service.

AS in the days Of Ben Franklin,
the kite has lately been success
fully employed for meteorological
observations at high attitudes. \
still more recent application OF
the kite principle is as life-sav-
ing apparatus TO be carried on
shipboard, its particular duty be
ing 10 establish communication be
tween stranded vessel and the
adjacent shore. 1t stands TO rea-
son that a ship in this position
generally has the assistance of
the wind in carrying anything
shoreward, and il would be far
easier to launch a kite under such
conditions than il would be TO fire
a rocket in the reverse direction.
The kite carries a guide rope
and contains in pocket a set of
signals and Instructions. It is
also furnished with apparatus for
telephone communication be-
tween the crew and their would
be rescuers.
This life-saving kite is the in
vention of Count Brossard. who is
to be regarded as an amateur
rather than a professional man of
science. Critics of his quaint APP
pliance, while admitting its gener-
al utility, have questioned
whether telephone communica-
tion would be possible in howl
ing tempest. The Kite is said,
however, to have been recently
tested with complete success at
London and at Brest.
