Green Potatoes.

Potatoes that are allowed to
lie in the sun become green, as
all of our readers that have
grown potatoes know. 1t has
been thought by some that
these potatoes are not fit for
planting any more than they
are fit tor food. But this is a
mistake. They are not fit for
food for the reason that they
are both strong and bitter and
for the additional reason that

The editors are to be congrat
ulated upon their success 10
avoiding the dry-as-dust style
of the proverbial encyclopedia.
The volumes are remarkably
easy to read, with short, crisp,
sentences full of verbal vitality.
They are also to be felicited
upon their excellent sense of
the relative values of subjects
as shown in the length or brief
ness of the various articles.
Finally a word must be said on
behalf of the illustrations, the
value of which may be gathered
from the fact that there are
more than seven hundred sepa.
rate pages of pictures, many of
them in colors, and about two
hundred specially engraved
maps.
The work is in every respec t
worthy the attention of the
American public,-The Chicago
Record Herald
The wire rope is generally
considered a modern invention,
but a photograph in the poss
ession of st. Louis firm show S
that it is really a rediscovered
lost art. The photograph is of
a piece Of bronze wire rope nea r
ly fifteen feet long and about
one inch in circumference, which
has been brought to light by ex-
cavations at Pompeii' The rope,
which is now in the Music Bor-
bonico at Naples, consists of
three strands laid spiraIly to-
gether, each strand being made
up of fifteen wires twisted to-
gether, and it's construction
does not therefore differ greatly
from that of wire ropes made
today. Pompeii was buried 1900
years ago. HOW long wire ropes
had been known then it is i'm
possible to tell, but experts say
that Judging from the knowl-
edge shown in the construction
of the piece found, it had been
known for a considerable time.

The New Jersey pastor who delivered
his Easter discourse in verse certainly
took an unfair advantage of his congre-

purpose to the local writer who beguiled
an eminent actor on board lake yacht

wind had died away to inflict upon him
the manuscript of a play. Every right
minded person agrees that the Easter

joicing, but how can he be happy who
