Nutting.

The old device Of jarring by a

but not its refinement of taking a

weight of the string. The theory
involves the casting Of a weight
over a bough of the nut tree and
shaking it briskly when looped by
the cord; the practice is that
many a yOungster who deems him
self a cracker thrower on the ball
field will find some lessons to be
learned in the precision of "loOp

retarding power of an ascending
cord tied to a p%roiectile. Again
with usage comes the art of so re

THE GREAT WEST.
Marvellous Recent Growth Of the
Trans-Mississippi Region.

AAAA NAAaa ANNNAH
Trans-Mississippi Region.
Since 1850 the farms which have
been opened between the Missis
Sippi and the Pacific are almost
equal to the entire land area Of
the original IL states, and these
are increasing rapidly, says the
st. Louis GlObe-D Democrat. They
will make a rurt .cr large increase
when the national irrigation act
of 1902 gets fairly into operation.
This region in 1900 produced sos
per cent. of the entire country's
wheat, 51.1 per cent. of its corn,
1872 per cent. of its barley, % per
cent. of its buckwheat, 4S.1 per
cent. of its oats and 30.1 per cent.
of its rye, or 53.1 per cent. of the
cOuntry'scereals in the aggregate.
In 1850, on the other hand, this To-
cality produced only 9.G per cent.
of the country's cereal yield. Of
the eOuntry's cattle, horses, mules,
sheep, swine and other farm ami
mails, 59.4 per cent. were found
west of the Mississippi in 1900, as
compared with 11.9 per cent. in
1850. This locality in 1900 pro
duced 1916 per cent. of the coun-
try's gold and 1913 per cent. Of its
silver.
While the center of the cOun-
try's area, exclusive of Alaska and
the islands acquired in 1898, is in
northern Kansas, the center of the
cCCatfy's population is in north.

U5ANALsn OF MARS.
Lines on Charts May Be Due to
Physiological Influences.

Physiological Influences.
Although the planet Mars is not
now well placed for direct scru~
tiny, some of the questions excit.
ed by past observations are still
provoking discussion. In KnOwl
edge, a periodical founded by the
late Richard Proctor, two astrOnO.
mers give reason for regarding
with skepticism most of the talk
about canals" One of the writ
ers is NJ. Antoniadi, an assistant
of NJ. Flammarion, and the other
is E. Walter Maunder, at one time
president of the British AstrOnom
zeal association. While cOnced
ing that a limited portion of the
linear markings have an objective
reality, both of these writer's give
reasons for thinking that the ma
iority of them, as charted by
Schiaparelli and Lowell, are not
genuine.
For one of the objections now
offered the astronomers are in
debted to an English amateur, Mr.
Green. He pointed out some time
ago that in drawing the vague
boundary between two areas OF
slightly different color, gray and
orange, there was a tendency to
emphasize unduly the contrast
and to make the border darker
than it should be. Following III
this hint, NJ. Antoniadi has exam
ined Schiaparelli's charts, and
finds that the distinguished Ital
ian has intensified the shading in
a large number of such places. He
is convinced that fully one-half OF
the lines which have been intro
duced into the most reputable
drawings of the Martin geography
are the product of physiologicalin
%duences alone.
Mr.. Maunder brings to bear or
the subject another class of teg
timony. Experiments have beer
made with a number of selected
school children. Charts
%purported to represent the sur
face Of Mars, but which containe
no canals" were hung on a wal
to be copied. Almost invariably
lines were put into the drawing,
which had no precedent in the
originals. Some of these were in
trOduced as borders to family
colored and indistinct tracts, thu.
lending partial confirmation t
Mr.. Green's theory. Others wer,
drawn between well defined spots
Finally there was a general dispo

CLIQUE GIVES IT UP.

the public believe Otherwise. Read what
it said Saturday. We give ii here:
the News has not asked the Repub.

Let Us see wat that means. First,
the News takes back all it has done for

The News says it is the blessed priv,

a ticket. No one disputes that, but the
Democratic clique ought 10 be kicked

Prohibition conventions like ii did the
county convention the other day. The
clique showed on That occasion that it
was unwilling to leave the work of the
Prohibition party to that party, what
ever the News may say TO the contrary
as to what it would do in the matter.
The News knows the clique had a star
chamber meeting the night before to de-
wise plans TO aet control of the Prohi-
bition cony ntion. II knows Short was
out there for the purpose of getting the
Prohibition endorsement. II knows
that Ernest Randolph and several
