AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF AcETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.
Grow to Twice Actual Weight of
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only
Latest Victory for This New and
Beautiful Iluminant.

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants, and this may soon
become a subject for serious consider
alton by all progressive cultiyators of
the soil
The results Of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase OF
growth attained by supplementing
1.-THE Light of Nature" with The
Light of Acetylene" during the hours
in which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, a certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night, grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only. all other conditions being equal,
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help OF acety-
Iene light. while without the added
light not even buds we're apparent
Acetylene is already taking its
| rlace as an illuminant for towns from
a central plant, for lighting houses,
churches, schools and isolated build
ings Of all kinds, and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature OF
acetylene is the ease and small ex
pense with which it can be made
available compared with the great ad
vantages derived from its use. The
machine in which the gas is gener
ated is easily installed.

DOG INCAPABLE OF DECEIT.
Nature Such That He Cannot Hide
His Emotions.

His Emotions.
There is one peculiar thing about
dogs" remarked a well known local
fancier and huntsman. and that is
you never saw one pant and wag his
tail at the same time. A dog is not
capable Of double emotion. He can't
growl and wag his tail at the same
time, for 1t is impossible for him to
be mad at one end and glad at the
other.
"If dog is glad to see his master
he win bark and wag his tail II he
wants to get into the house he win
paw at the door, whine and, wag his
tail, but they are all symptoms of one
and the same emotion. But If his
master opens the door he will cease
to show anxiety Immediately by whin
ing and will show pleasure only By
the wagging Of his tail.
I'm order to get mans temper
one must watch his eyes, but for {
dogs you have to watch his tail The
dog is likewise incapable Of deceit
and hence he is nothing Of politician
He deceives no one, not even hi
master If he is overjoyed ever
emotion is indicative of that fact, ant
his whole makeup gives ample testi
mony to it. II he is displeased o
angered 1t is the same way. "-Houstol

Boom Coming.

The above may not be recorded as being
impOssible--in our opinion it is very proba
ble--while we have nothing to say positive
or definite on this subject, yet we have in
formation which to us seems sufficient to
warrant US in saying that we will in the no
distant future witness a substantial boom
along business lines. While this may come
without the aid of our people, we must urge
every one who has the interest of Thurmont
at heart to do everything in their power to
make conditions better to help to get enter
prises started here and to attract strangers
to our midst. We have many natural facil-
tics which, if uti ized would benefit all to a
very great degree.
We want n railroad built between here
and Frederick and every one sbould talk 1t
and by and by it will come. 1t is true it
takes more than talk to build n railroad but
talk will arouse public interest and once
that is aroused the balance then is generally
EASY. Let every body 90 TO work.

The largest on Record.

Exports OF manufactures from lne
United States in the fiscal year 1905
were not only the largest on record but
are in excess of the combined exports
of all articles in the centennial year
l876-and nearly $l40,000,O00 more
than the total imports and exports OF
the country at the close of the Civil
War.
Government statistics show that the
exports of manufactures in the year
Just ended amounted to $543,620, 297,
as against $4524l5,92l in the proceed.
ing year, $433, s5l,756 in 1900 and

exports of manufactures far exceeds the
growth of population or the growth in
commerce as II whole.
Iron and steel manufactures supply
about one fourth of the manufactured
articles exported from the United
States the total in 1905 having been
1874, 727, 92l, as against Sill, 94S,5s6

100000 oyer 1904. A conspicuous
feature was the large increase in ex-
ports of locomotives to Japan, Isl en-.

SIlODs for WillIamaDOrt.

In connection with the operations of the
" estern Maryland Railroad Company in the
vicinity of Wlliamsport the report is cur
rent that the railroad company has made an
offer of 5000 an acre for the Springfield farm
owned by Mrs. Mary Humrichouse, widow
of Charles w. uumrchouse. This farm was
formerly part Of the Ohio Holland Will
liams plantation. The railroad people are
also said to have their eyes on the Stake
farm, and the impression prevails at Will
Transport that one or the other of the farms
will be the site for the location of the Wa
bash shops. The latest survey for the low
grade freight line leaves the main line of
the Western Mars land at Williamspoit, Iuns

Chief Moore of the weather Bureau,
has issued a pronunciamento declaring
that his department is not either nest

the government observatory at Mt
Weather up in the Blue Ridge has not

of the record that he has made in his

will lie duly forwarded to Congress

Both stalks had the roots on. Ono measur.
cd IA feet 8 inches and the other IA feet 3
inches. The roots on the Arnold corn
measure about four inches. Allowing the
same for Mr.. Rays corn, Mr.. Arnold still
beats him by inches. Mr.. AIpold's corn
was planted May 3 and the two stalks were
cut off August 6. The ears on Mr.. Arnold's
corn are filed out better than Mr.. Rays
Mr.. Young also sent with the corn, n bunch
