JOBS TEARS.
Seeds That Are Used For Food and
Ornament In India.

Seeds That Are Used For Food and
Ornament In India.
A seed much used for ornament is
that which bears the popular name of
Jobs tears. The old botanist Gerarde
thus describes it: Every graine re-
sembleth tie drop or tear that falleth
from the eye" There are, however,
now three or four well marked forms
of this seed met with in India, which
differ from each other in shape, color
and degree Of hardness and in the pres
ence or absence of grooves or burrows
along the length OF the hardened in
volucer.
DR.. Watt of Calcutta thus enumer-
ates them: There are three types Of
shape-a long cylindrical or tubular, a
normal pear shaped condition and a
fiattened spheroidal form. The cylin-
drical grain is always Of white col
or, smooth, polished, not furrowed, but
CONSTRUCTED toward both eXtremities.
This is collected for ornamental pur-
poses only and not as an article for
food. The pear shaped form varies in
size and color, being pale and blush
white, gray, yellow or brown black.
The fiattened spheroidal kinds are Of
ten yellow or even pink.
1.-The two principal forms are: One
almost round and either white or pack
This form is sometimes, though less
frequently, used for rosaries and orna-
mental purposes, but chiefly for food
among the hill tribes Of India. The
second form is tubular, about half an
inch long. This is extensively employ
ed for decorative purposes, the dresses
worn by the Karen women being often
completely covered with embroidered
designs Of this grain"

Seaweeds.

Aside from their use as food by man
and beast and as fertilizer in agricul-

the arts and sciences. From them are
obtained soda, chlorides, sulphates, sill

FAIRLY TRAPPED.

The Clever Manner In Which BalEac
Outwitted His Publisher.
No man knew the value of Balzac's
writings better than the famous French
novelist himself. fact which he never
failed to impress upon his publishers
when terms were being discussed.
On one OCCASION as Balzac sat smok-
ing in a friendly fashion with a we'll
known publisher, he remarked casual
ly:
"Now, l want your candid opinion.
Honestly, do you believe that have as
much talent as Frederic Soulie?"
"My dear Balzac, how can you ask?'
answered his unsuspecting companion.
"W'hy. you have twice his literary ca
pacity."
"Well. as l consider his works i'm
measurably superior to anything Of
Eugene Sues. suppose l must have
more talent than Sue tooY'
"Of course you have"
"Twice as much, according to you.
Well, am glad. And now tell me hon
estly. as we are discussing literary
merits, surely AIN DIS Soou as DumdS!
"Better-better"
"Thank goodness, our opinions coin
eide. And now, since my novels are
worth twice as much as those of Fred
eric Soulie and Eugene Sue. demand
in common justice to be paid double
what you pay them for theirs"
There was nothing to be said, says
one of Balzac's biographers. The I'M
fortunate publisher had been trapped
and owned it.

A Partisan scientist, while testifying
to the greater purity Of the air in the

the cause to greater richness in oxy-

The holystone is soft stone used by

to have got its name because it was

used for this purpose were taken from

get the name from the fact that Z

RAPID Development
In the Mccarthy Company Tracts and
Additions in Southwest Section

Additions in Southwest Section
Continued activity in building in the
Mccarthy company's three big tracts
and five separate additions in the south
western section of the city keeps pace
in large measure with the sale of lots
Within three weeks nearly all of the
126 lots in the Main Street and Moneta
Avenue tract were sold at an average
price of $500, or total of $4,000. The
average price of lots in the Moneta
Avenue and Figueroa Street tract is
$3.50. There are 1870 lots in the Main
Street, Moneta Avenue and Figueroa
Street tract. Many sales have been
made in the several additions, the grand
total aggregating $15O,0OO. First-class
improvements have been made in all CT
the tracts.
The popularity of this section of the
city is due partly to the new car line
and extension but largely to the fact
that purchasers are just beginning to
realize the proximity Of the city to this
district and the many natural advau-
tages, such as perfect soil and drainage,
good water supply, street work and the
fact that these tracts lie between the
three great arteries Of the city-Main
street, Moneta avenue and Figueroa
street. The average size of residence
is seven-room, story and half, bum
galow effect, OF two-story residence
costing $4,000 to $25OO This class Of i'm
provements bids well for the future
advanced values in this location.
