firm has as handsome a store as can
be found anywhere in the South, and
II will ill long felt want here. 1t
is arranged in departments ana you
can purchase anything from q pin to
an elephant there.
The Bank of Florala will shortly
move into its permanent quarters in
the Lamar-Britton building. The

bought, and are now being installed.
This bank has had wonderful success
since its organization, last April. The
net profits on its capital stock of prac-
ticaily $4,000 already amount TO
s2,363 The capital was recently in
creased to SIS 1000. This speaks well
for the progress of the town.

Ara the Packers Receiving Fair Play!

When the Garfield report on the business methods of the packers ap- pearei, after eight months investiga- roundly denounced After three morths of publicity it is significant that those who attempted to discredit it have failed to controvert the figures contained in that exhaustive document. The public is beginning to notice this omission, and the feeling Is rapidly growing that the sensational charges out of which the Beef Investigation" arose were without foundation. If the official statements of the report are susceptible of contradiction, good many people are now asking why the facts and figures are not furnished to contradict them.
 The truth seems to be that most of the charges contain unfounded sensa- tional assertions. A fragrant example of thls appeared in recent article in an Eastern magazine, to the effect that forty Iowa banks were forced to close their doors in 1903-4 by the Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle prices. ," Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de partment of the Iowa State Auditors office. has tabulated the list of banks given in the magazine article and has publicly denounced the statement as utterly untrue. He gives separately the reasons for each failure mentioned and officially states that they have been caused by unwise speculations and by reckless banking methods. It may be we'll to suspend judgment upon the packers until the charges against them are proved.

WHAT MAKES SKY BLUE?
Theories Advanced by Scientists as to Its Reflection of Light and
 It's Color

The sky has long been a puzzle to physicists There are two mysteries to explain about tits reflection Of light and it's color. The old view was that the blue of the sky was due simply to atmospheric oxygen. CXy- gen has q faint blue tint, and the idea vas that several miles of the gas, even when diluted as it is in the air. would have q bright blue color. But this did not account for the intense illumina- ton of the sky, and of recent years Tyndalls dust theory, or some modi- feation of it, has been generally ac- cepted. This regards the blue color as an optical effect like the color of very thin smoke, due to excessively fine particles floating in the air. which would also account for the large pro, portion of reflected light from the sky. Recent calculations by Prof. Spring. of Liege, Belgium, however. indicate that the dust in the air is not sufficient in amount. nor finely enough divided, to support this explanation, and he re- iects it for this and other reasons. He has gone back to the old blue oxygen theory, and accounts for the general illumination of the sky on the hypothesis first advanced by Hagen tach that intermingled layers of diff terent density in the atmosphere give fl the power of reflecting light-Suc-

Dead Leaves Turned Into Soil.

That the process of decay by which
 the rich forest mold is formed from fallen leaves is brought about by the vegetable action of certain fungi has been demonstrated recently by C. .. Koning. Dutch Eotanist He has studied especially the action of two species. One begins it's work even be fore the leaves have fallen. appearing On them when they are still attached 10 the trees. It then grows actively. hastening the process of decay. and by so doing produces the well-known odor of fresh earth. which has been attributed by various investigators ito ether substances. When cold weather ecnes on, however, this fungus ceases it's work. which is taken up by an other species that flourishes only in the soil itself and never attacks the living leaf. 1t is probable that other fungi cooperate with these in soil formation, and that various species of bacteria also play their part.-Suceess.
