About Weather and Beets.

loupes are making, May has been
an ideal month for the growth of
beets. Beet5 as compared with
their condition on former years
are decidedly in advance of the
season. The cool nights and
warm days have been ideal condi-
ton for the sugar beet. The
stand is as neerly y perfect lis it is
possible to procure; and the pros
poets for a larger crop than has
ever been harvested, are bright.
TIE acreage is not so large but
the education in growing beets
and the failures that have occur.
red have brought about better
general average. The poor and
careless growers have become dis
couraged and the studious and
careful farmer has prohted by his
experience.
The unfayorable spring to which
was attributed the cause Of the
curly top last year does not threat.
en- the crops this year. The curly
top, which has been generally dis
cussed, and thoroughly studied by
government and local experts, is
as yet a mystery. In discussing
the subject with w, X. Winter
halter, we came TO the conclusion
that the absence of a cold spring
and the present favorable outlook,
while somewhat encouraging, does
not signify that curly top will not
occur this wear. June is the
month when curly top usually ap-
pears, but in California it has
come us late as July and its cause
there was attributed to the drouthy
conditions prevailing during July.
One singular thing about curly
top and that which it seems
should form a clew to The discov-
cry Of tho cause, is that it is never
general One field may be affect
ed and an adjoining field escape.
1t may occur at one shipping
point and all others will be free
from it, So that the dread of the
attack of Gully top should be no
greater than that of hail, as both
are not likely to affect a large area.
The thinning and hoeing that
has been long drawn out OH form
er seasons on account OF the scar
city of labor and their conse-
uuent Independence is not giving
the farmers any uneasiness this
season. Labor is plentiful. Mex
leans, Japs, Indians and Ameri-
can laborers have been pooring
into the valley for the past two
weeks and n large acreage is al
ready thinncd. The cost to the
farmer is going to be considera-
bly, less than on former years.
This is due to two causes: the lab
erer does not have the opportuni-
ty to hold.the farmer up and the
condition of the soil is such That
the work is comlarativrlv easy.

Properties Of Asbestos.


The terrible disaster in the 1ro-
quois theater at Chicago has at
tracted universal attention to the
singular substance, asbestos.
which can be carded like wool and
formed into f1re-proof cloth or
paper. Asbestos belongs 10 the
hornh!cnde type of minerals, and
in some respects forms kind of
link between the vegetable and
amman Kingdoms. IT is, says Mr..
~. +. Collins, at once fibrous and
crystalline. elastic md brittle.
heavy as rock in the crude state
yet light as thistle down when
mechanically treated. The best
asbestos for the manufacture of
fireprOof cloth comes from lower
Canada. 1t is found in narrow
seams. about nm inch and u omar.
ter in thickness. sometimes vcrti-
cal and sometimes horizontal in
the containing rock. AS t comes
from the rock it is worth 5000 a
ton; but tn" long fibers. stripped
ready for spinning and weaving.
are worth 81 500 O ton.-Youth's

Chinese Fossil Teeth.

DIR. Max Schlosser has made n
singular collection of fossil teeth
from drug stores in yarions parts
of China. where they are sold un-
der the name of dragons teeth.
and are valued for their supposed
curative powers. Upon examin-
ing them DIR. Schlosser found that
they are the remains OF many spc-
,cies OF extinct animals. such as the
ancestral forms OF camels, saber-
toothed tigers. thrce-tofd horses
and other creatures OF ancient
times. some Of which. like the an
eestral forms OF camels and ante
loprs. were supposed to have had
their original home in America
and In Africa. Judging from the
qnantatiessof these teeth sold, DIR.
Sclllosser thinks they mnst exist
in enormous numbers in some
parts Of the Chinese empire.

Origin Of Knives

Prof. w. j. McGec has lately
undertaken to trace back to its
origin that useful invention, the
Knife. The first knives, he be
ieves, were fractured stones that
happened to have a sharp cutting
dye. But the vegetable kingdom
tlso furnishes very keen cutting
.dgcs in the leaves and stalks of
certain plants, which might have
been availed of before artificial
hives were made. The fractured
stone knife easily suggested the
,haping of faxed stones, like flint,
nto the form of blades. Among
the Seri Indians on Tiburon
Island, in the Gulf of California,
the primitive custom of utilizing
fractured and water-worn stones
for knives still exists.-Youth's

An interesting archaeological
find hcs been made In a field near
Mitcfiain. England. A group Of
seven skeletons, with spearheads
near by, was discovered, and close
al hand three more skeletons in Il

were found. The skeletons were
found about four feet below thu
surface, carefully laid on their
backs, feet toward the east, la
separate graves made In the
gravel. They were apparently on
GERS OF superior rank, buried with
some ceremony in their martial at.

was the blade OF a two-edged

become outrageously intoxicated.
