MOON ONCE PART OF EARTH
But, According to Prof Pickering, 1t
Was Thrown Into Space.

a dispatch says Prof. w. H. Picker
ing of Harvard, the astronomer, is in
San Francisco en- route from a visit
to the Hawaiian islands. He makes
the interesting statement that although
he had never seen the volcanoes of the
Hawaiian islands previous to his re-
cent trip there, he realized in them old,
familiar friends. He says he met their
ancestors from afar, as it were,
through telescope. and that they are
similar to those on the moon-that is,
those of the engulfment variety. While
in Honolulu Prof. Pickering delivered
lecture in which he advanced the
theory that the moon was originally a
part of the earth, and was thrown off,
and that the Hawaiian islands were
about in the center of this lunar gene
sis. The space that was left when the
moon materially was thrown off was
the Pacific ocean. The large volu-
minOus of Mauna Loa and Kilaoua on
the island and Haleakala on Maui
were, Prof. Pickering stated, in many
ways exactly like those he had OBJ
served through q telescope on the
moon

GROWTH OF RURAL ROUTES IN COUNTRY
Over Thirty Thousand Rural Mail Delivery Routes Serving Two
Million Families Every Day, in the United

The increased extension of rural
routes all through this section, with
the applications which are continually
coming in for more, has attracted at
tention to the magic growth of this
department
The growth of the rural free deliv-
cry service explains much of the
shortage of the postoffice department.
This service began in 1897 with an APP
preparation of $40, 900 and four routes.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1906, the appropriation for rural free
delivery is $25, 1928, 600, about one
seventh of the appropriation for the
entire postal service. There are now
30,982 rural routes, serving about
1000 families. with approximately
ZOO, 900 members.
The population on the routes served
mounts to twice that figure. Only
rsons erecting approved mail boxes
customers of the rural carriers,
/ a considerabl portion of the popu-
on refuses to erect the mail boxes.
~ still go to the village postoffice.
r e following interesting comment
question is found in the Post
ers' Advocate:
here is yet no halt in the growth
rural service. In 1902 it cost
900; in 1903. IS, O52, 600; in 1904,
5000: in 1905, $2l, 900, 600 The
acy for the whole department in |
as approximately $500, 900; in |
Scot 1920, 600: in 1904, IS. 800. 600.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-09-13

This year will add several million to
to that of last year."
There is a close connection between
the growth of these deficits and the
cost of rural free delivery. The in
crease in postal revenue runs about
10 per cent. year and expenses in
crease at about the same rate. If the
rural delivery expanded with no great
speed it would not become a burden.
1t is admitted that rural delivery
adds something to the postal revenues,
in the circulation of news
papers and advertising circulars.

of the 'cOachwhip" species yesterday.
Observing that the snake was rather
full amidships Mr.. Bradford cut it
open and found sixteen young par

SOIL INCUBATION A FAIL URE
EXPERIMENT KILLED HIS EN-
TIRE CROP OF VEGETABLES.
Microbes Which Were Supposed to
Increase Productiveness of Soil

Microbes Which Were Supposed to
Increase Productiveness of Soil
Caused Disease of Roots.
Menancing to plant life, threatening
the abandonment of farms and gardens
by it's prolific presence, the root-knot
microbe is a serious problem with
which planters will have to deal, says
the Savannah News.
Sometime ago the department of ag-
riculture at Washington began the
distribution of small packages of a
micro-organism which it was claimed
would add to the productive vitality
of the soil by the creation of more
abundant nitrogen, so essential to the
life of plants. This discovery was
said to act with more noticeable effect
upon beans and peas and other plants
of the leguminous family.
At least one person, after having
vaccinated the soil according to direc-
tions, is prepared to affirm that the
experiment was not only decided
failure, but that the incubation may
have been the means of an Infection
against which plants have little
chance for life.
DIR. LeHardy Got Vaccine.
DR.. j. G. LeHardy of Savannah
procured last spring from the depart
ment at Washington package of the
soil vaccine. He was at that time
sowing his garden crop of peas, and
the vaccine was put in along with the
seed.
The doctor was very much interested
in the experiments, and when the peas
began to grow he dug down and ex-
amined the roots and was pleased to
find that the fine fibres appeared to be
affected with multitudinOus tumor of
an infnitesimal size. They were large
enough for the doctor to know that
they were not natural to the plant and
he took this as evidence that the mi
crobes had seized hold on the roots
and were engaged in the process of
bringing to the plant that vital con-
stituent which the government scientist
claimed as its peculiar function.
$50 far, so good" thought the
doctor, and he waited imDatiently to
note the progress of the experiment.
In short time it was seen that the
peas appeared to be sickly, and this
afforded reason for another look at
the roots. 1t was IT, en- discovered that
the tumors had attacked the main
root and had produced that appear
ance known as rOOt-knOt. This con-
dition puzzled DR.. LeHardy, but he
waited until the peas began to die,
and upon a third examination he
found that the roots had been eaten
almost entirely away by the infection,
and that his entire crop was dying
gradually, from the roots upward.
The Disease Spread.
If the ravages of the case of
variOloid, which the doctor had given
his garden, had terminated with the
peas he would not now be worried,
but the disease which attacked the
original pea crop spread to the other
vegata bles in the gar len, and in the
course of a few weeks the butter beans,
okra and other plants shed their
leaves and fruit and it was found that
the same malady had seized and
worked havoc with them.
DR.. LeHardy then put himself in
communication with the department at
Washington to know how to kill the
disease, but the department has not
so far furnished any suggestion of a
remedy.

'OSTLER JOE.

At the request of numerous readers Gt
will be recalled that this is the poem whicl
ton drawing room, and which created 500
Mrs Potter to stage career;
stood at eve, when the sun went down
By grave where woman hes
Who lured men s souls to the shores OF {
With the light of her wanton eyes;
Who sang the song that the siren sang
On the treacherOus Hurley height;
Whose face was as fair as a summer S d;
And whose heart was as black as nigh
Yet a blossom / fam would pluck today
From the garden above her dust
Not the languorous lily of soulless sin,
Nor the blood-red rose of lust
But sweet, white blossom of holy love
That grew in that one green spot
In the arid desert of Phyrne S life,
Where all else was parched and hot.
In the summer, when the meadows
Were aglow with blue and red,
Joe, the ostler of the Magpie,"
And fair Annie Smith were wed,
Plump was Annie, plump and pretty,
With a face as fair as snow.
He was anything but handsome,
Was the Magpie's 'ostler, Joe,
But he won the winsome lassie
They d a cottage and COW
And her matrOnhOod sat lightly
On the village beauty's brow
Sped the months and came baby
Such blue-eyed baby bOy
Joe was working in the stables
When they told him of his JOY.
He was rubbing down the horses
And he gave them, then and there,
Ali a special feed of clover,
Just in honor of the heir.
1t had been his great ambition
(And he told the horses so)
That the fates would send baby
Who might bear the name of Joe.
Little Joe the child was christened,
And like babies grew apace.
He'd his mothers eyes of azure
And his fathers honest face.
Swift the happy years went over,
Years of blue and clOudlesS sky;
Love was lord of that small cottage,
And the tempest passed them by,
Down the lane, by Annie's cottage,
Glanced gentleman to roam;
He caught glimpse of Annie
In her bright and happy home
Thrice he came and saw her sitting
By the window with her child
And he nodded to the baby
And the baby laughed and smiled.
So at last it grew to know him
little Joe was nearly FOUR;
He would call the pretty gemplum
AS he passed the open door;
And one day he ran and caught him,
And in child's play pulled him in,
And the baby Joe had prayed for
Brought about the mother 5 sin.
Twas the same old wretched story
That for ages bards have sung;
Twas a woman weak and wantOn,
And a villain $ tempting tongue:
Twas a picture deity painted
For silly creature : eyes.
OF the Babylonian wonders
And the JOY that in them lies.
Annie listened and was tempted
Was tempted and she fell
As the angels fell from heaven
To the blacklist depths Of hell
She was promised wealth and splendor
And life of gpnteel slOth
Yellow gold for child and husband
And the woman left them both.
Home one eve came Joe. the 'ostIer
With CHEEKY cry of Wife,
Finding that which blurred forever
All the story of his life.
She had left silly letter;
Through the cruel scrawl he spelt
Then he sought the cruel bedroom,
JOined his horny hands and knelt

Now, O Lord O God, forgive her,
For she ain to blame, " he cried;
For I ought to seen her trouble
And a-gone away and died.
Why, a girl like her-God bless her
'Twasnt likely as herd rest
Her bonny head forever
On 'ostler's ragged vest.
1T was kind O. her to bear with me
All the long and happy time;
So for my sake please to bless her,
Though You count her deed crime.
If so be don't pray proper,
Lord, forgive me, for, You see,

But I'm kinder strange with Thee
Meier line came to the cottage
From the woman who had flown
Joe, the baby, died that winter,
And the man was left alone.
Meier bitter word he uttered,
But in silence kissed the rod
Saving what he told his horses,
Saving what he told his God
Far away in mighty London
Rose the wantOn into fame,
For her beauty won mems homage,
And she prospered in her shame
Quick from lord to lord she fitted.
Higher still each prize she won;
And her rivals paled beside her
AS the stars beside the sun
Next she trod the stage half naked.
And she dragged a temple down
To the level of market
For the women of the town
And the kisses she had given
To poor 'Ostler Joe for naught,
With their gold and priceless Jewels
Rich and titled rOues bought.
Went the years with flying footsteps
While her star was at its height
Then the darkness came on swiftly.
And the cleaning turned to night.
Shattered strength and faded beauty
Tore the laurels from her brow;
OF the thousands who had worshipped
Never one came near her now
Broken down in health and fortune
Men forgot her very name.
Till the news that she was dying
Woke the echoes of her fame.
And the papers in their gossip
Mentioned how an actress Law
Sick to death in humble lodgings.
Growing weaker every day.
One there was who read the story
In far-off country place,
And that night the dying woman
Woke and looked upon his face.
Once again the strong arms clasped her
That had clasped her long ago:
And the weary head lay pillowed
On the breast of 'Ostler Joe
All the past he had forgiven
All the sorrows and the shame:
He had found her sick and lonely.
And his wife he now would claim
Since the grand folks who had known h
One and all had skunk away,
He could clasp his long lost darling
And no man could say him nay.
In his arms death found hea lying,
From his arms her spirit fed;
And his tears came down in torrents
AS he knelt beside his dead.
Never once his love had faltered
Through her sad, unhalIowed life.
And the stone above her ashes
Bears the sacred name of wife.
That's the blossom | fain would pluck tod
From the garden above her dust;
Not the languOrOus lily of soulless sin
Nor the blOod-red rose of lust.
But a sweet white blossom of holy love
That grew in the one green spot
In the arid desert of Phyrne's life
Where all else was parched and hot.

DUNSMUIR WILL CASE
Attorney Wheeler Tries to Prove
Record Is Correct

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S.-The
hearing of testimony in the contest of
the will of the late Alexander Duns-
muir was continued before the British
consul today. Attorney j. ]. Dwyer
was again called to the witness stand.
Attorney Wheeler, representing
James Dunsmuir, proponent of the
will, attempted to prove by the wit
ness that the record containing the
will of the late millionaire, proof of
admission to probate, etc, was correct.
He also wished to show that no appeal
had been taken from the Judgment rem
dered here four years ago admitting
the will to probate within the sixty
days limit. The record was admitted
as an exhibit in the case by stipula-
tion.
AS Attorney Wheeler wished to prove
the record by the custodian OF the
papers, an adjournment was taken.
