Raising Tea in the South

DIR. Charles A. Shepard of South Car
olina has proved on his own plantation
at Summerville, twenty miles out of
Charleston, that the growing of tea can
be carried on successfully and profita-
bly,. He has been doing this for twelve
years with such good results says the
Chicago Chronicle. that the secretary
of agriculture and the congress of the
United States highly approve his deeds
and both are extending him liberal as
sistance.
my idea from the start" said DR..
Shepard, was to add an additional
crop to the farm products of the coun-
try. The road TO agricultural supre-
macy is through diversifying. My
friends seem to think that | have been
successful, and l have every reason to
be gratifed with what has been ac-
complished.
"Tea raising In the United States Is
certainly practicable. 1t is no new
thing in this country, for In the old
days French priest planted tea on the
banks OF the Ashley river. But owing
to the difference In the cost of labor the
United States cannot compete with the
Orient in low grades or cheap teas. II
will pay us TO produce only that of the
highest quality. which brings a high
price in market. The tea grown ON my
place in South Carolina compares with
the best that is imported from eastern
lands. Exchange.

Fish Have sixth Sense

There are some indications that
fishes possess a sizth sense, the organs
OF which are the pores of the head and
of the lateral band. This band is
row of little canals connected with the
external world by holes through the
scales. In these cavities, under which
runs a large nerve. are found nerve

RADIUM MAY HEAT WORLD
Theory Advanced by German
Scientist

From the Kansas City Star
A German physicist. Herr Liebenow,
puts forward the theory, which has
been hinted by others, that there may
be enough radium in the crust of the
globe to account for the earth's in
ternal heat. 1t Is only necessary to
suppose for this object that radium is
uniformly distributed throughout the
mass of the earth in quantities of about
1-1000th of what is known to occur in
pitchblende."
But there are many indications that
radium occurs more frequently than
this in all known rocks, and that its oc-
currence Is more frequent near the sur
face of the earth than In the interior.
"This theory" the Electrician observes,
"demolishes at blow all our concep-
tions of liquid interior at the tremen-
dous temperatures implied by uni
formly rising gradient" 1t now be-
comes permissible to assume that the
temperature rises toward the center of
the earth, but attains maximum at
no very great depth and that the in
terror beyond that point is at a uni
form and comparatively low tempera-
ture
This is making rather too much of
radium. What is known of volcanic
phenomena in the past, or heat as a
factor i'm the formation of the heavenly
bodies, of the sufficiency of La Place. s
theory to account for the solar sys-
tenn, as so many slowly cooling bodies,
negatives the suppostion Of there be-
ing another sufficient cause for the
same effects. Besides. does the world
know enough OF the breakup of the
radium atom and it's liberation of heat
at such pressures, as exist at great
depth OF rock TO be sure that the phe-
nomena of the laboratory would be
present there?
Are you in favor of an extra session
Of congress?"
Yes" answered Farmer Corntossel,
I'VE sent a feller to congress to keep
him out o. this neighborhood an I'm
i'm favor of anything that'll spermote
that object. ct.'-Washingto Star

Mems Fashions For Next Year.

Green socks and loud plaid SUNNI er
shirts-those are fashions DEGREES for
men next year.
The arbiters of style decide year
ahead what shall be worn, and most
Cincinnati merchants have already
given their oIders. The mild and mod
est colors-dove, gray, tan and drab-
that have been so prevalent in mems
shirts this year, will give way to one of
the most radical changes ever known
in shirt styles. From one extreme to
the other is fashions decree.
The small figures Of this wear will al
so be behind the times. Everything in
shirts will run to plaids-the larger and
louder the more fashionable.
In socks, all shades and varieties of
green will be the real, proper caper.
These green's will range all the way
from the subdued olive to the most vivid
grass color.
Nor is it necessary for the sock to be
pure green to be fashionable. a sugges.
ton of green will be sufficient, Just so
there is some of that present even the
faintest tinge. And the sock OF next
year will not be plaid, like the shirt.
Dots and figures of that sort will be
largely used.
The lace sock, which was but little
used this Summer, will be almost entire
ly unknown next year.

To Make Cement Next Month.

Alonzo Fallon was at home from
West Point several days the past week.
Mr.. Fallon is carpentering at the port
land cement plant two and half miles
east OF West Point. He says that the
plant is expected to be in operation
about the middle of October and that
about 200 men will be employed. The
clay to be used in the manufacture of
the cement will be mined lat the plant
but the stone will be secured from a
poirt below Brandenburg, where be-
tween $2O0,0 and $500, 900 has been
spent, says Mr.. Fallon, on dwellings
for the employees and machinery for
getting out the stone. The company has
its own towboat and barges with which
to transport the stone from the quarry
to the plant.
The company operating the plant is
known as the Kosmos Portland Cement
Co. A week ago it went into the hands
of the portland cement combine About
a million dollars has been expended in
erecting the plant. The tract of land
on which are the clay deposits is 800
acres in area and considered the most
valuable of the kind in the country.

Million And a Half Cars
Required to Move Crops.
A Chicago Telegram SAYS:


measuring the prosperity of the
American farmer this year in units of
freight cars. railroad statisticians have
figured out that the grain traffic for this
crop year will aggregate l,s00, 900 car
loads. If all this grain could be mar
keted simultaneously and hauled in a
single solid train of freight cars, the
train would be l .93l miles long exclu-
sive of the locomotives that would be
necessary to move it.
Dividing this huge train into smaller
ones Of forty cars each, there would be
required $500 locomotives, or 300 miles
of draft machinery. Adding this 3S5
10 the / ,e3l miles OF cars, there is a
total of ~. 2SG miles. To hold the cars
and engines it would require nearly
every foot of four tracks extending from
New York to San Francis CO. The
necessary single track would measure
half the circumference Of the globe.
Impressive as these figures are,
they do not begin to tell the vastness of
the wealth which tie American farmer
has taken from his soil in corn, oats,
wheat, barley and rye in the year 1903
THE railroad mems estimates are con-
fined to the grain which will be moved
10 market centers on the steam roads
Probably not over one-third of the
grain produced will ever see freight
car The other two-thirds will be haul
ed to local mills in wagons, or will be
consumed by live stock on the farms.
To hold the entire corn crop alone would
call for a train and engines ri, 900 miles
in length, the equivalent of six golden
zones reaching from He'll Gate to the
Golden Gate
Farmers Don't Have TO Rush Crops.
I'm this story OF agricultural treasure
lies the reason for the unparalleled pre-
parations of the Western railroads for
traffic this season. If the farmer were
not already well supplied with ready |
money and were forced to rush his grain

it is reasonable to suppose the railroads
would be utterly swamped with grain
traffic"
