PECAN SHELLlNC SEASON.
An Industry That Gives Employ
ment to Many Hundreds
of People.

Some idea of the magnitude of the
pecan nut meat industry may be had
when It Is stated that In San Antonio
(Tex.) alone there are 100 members
Of the Pecan Shelters union, a labor
organization composed OF men engaged
as a regular business In the shelling
OF pecan nuts and extracting the de-
licious kernels.
Not all of the pecan shelters in San
Antonio belong to the union. There
are several hundred other men, wom-
en- and children la that city who gain
livelihood from the work There
union In Austin and several other
towns OF the state.
The pecan nut Smelling season lasts
from October | to July l. The new
crop OF nuts begin to come into mar
ket about October l, and from then
until January | the business of ex-
tracing the kernels Is very active.
The kernels are shipped in large bulk
TO New York. st. Louis and other cit
les, where they are used by the con-
fectioners in the manufacture of can
dies.
Pecan shelling is comparatively
new industry. II had its origin. so
far as its becoming recognized
business is concerned. few years ago
when candy manufacturer of New
York visited Texas.
He ate some OF the candy made and
sold by, Mexican street vendors In
San Antonio. Pecan kernels form an
important ingredient Of this candy.
AS an experiment he arranged for q
small shipment Of the pecan meats to
be made to him.
The kernels were received In due
time. and the highest art OF the candy
maker was employed in their use. The
pecan candy became popular almost
instantly. and other orders for the
pecan kernels were placed.
That was the beginning of an in
dustry which now gives employment to
several thousand people. There is a
big demand for the pecan kernels in
every large city in the country.

Borings Fail TO Find Desired Arte-
sian Flow in Ohio State
house Yard.

In 1857, for some reason, st was
thought profitable and possible to se-
cure an artesian we'll In the state
house yard. The geology of Ohio
as science was still unwritten.
In fact. the FIRST volume OF the Ohio
geological reports contains the writ
ten record Of this boring.
Down ATS feet--over half q mile
the auger was sent by the slow and
laborlous process of the time, and
nearly year was spent in the work.
The boring was commenced on No
vember I. 1857, and stopped October
1. 1853. No artesian water was
found.
The boring was made in the eastern
part OF the grounds. Its site was
pointed out to the writer some years
ago. and It Is now probably covered
by the cement walk extending out to
Third street from the judiciary build
ing Water was struck and plenty OF
it--fresh. salt, sulphur, magnetism, etc.
but none Of 1t came to the top.
Prof. Theodore G. Wormley, the
professor Of chemistry In Startling
medical college, embraced the oppor.
tunity to secure the temperature oi
this deep boring. With a thermome-
ter placed in n specially prepared iron
case and left in the bottom of the Dor.
ing "a hours. he found the tempera
ture at the bottom TO be SS degrees

which the heat of the sun ceases to
be felt, he computes that the tempera
ture increased one degree for ever,

There Is no record of the cost o
the boring, but IL must have beei

Royal Pearls.

There is romantic story attaching
to the great rope of pearls worn by
Princess Fredericka Of Hanover at re-
cent functions. They are magnificent
specimens and very old. Centuries
ago princess of the house loved them
so that they were buried with her. But
in process OF time the great grief of
her relatives grew gradually fainter
and fainter until thev began to whis-
per what shame 1t was that such
glorious jewels should be wasted. Then
one day the princess tomb was opened
and the pearl necklace taken from her
neck But the pearls were spoiled.
they had lost their luster and beauty.
Their new owner went over them and
dreamed about them and her dream
told her that three generations of
lovely women would have to wear
them before their luster returned.
Three lovely princesses did wear them.
and they are now pearls without peers.

The Story OF Railroad Rebates.

The problems the voter of to-day
must face are too complex to be met
by the horse-sense which has always
been the saving grace of the Repub-
lies suffrage. To get to the bottom
of the COM plexlties of the great ques.
tions that demand legislative remedy
requires long and painstaking in, es-
tigation such as few men have the
time or the training to undertake.
When Congress convenes, every
right minded American will be wrest.
ling with the intrlcacies of the rail-
road problem and McClure's for this
month has undertaken to present, in
Ray Stannard Bakers story of Rail.

evil determinations which are the
root of the present intolerable situa.

as every voter would like to make
Mr.. Baker shows how the railroads,
through their officers selfish exercise
of power have helped to build up the
great inonopolies which control every
one of the fundamental necessaries 1
life. He explaines "what rebates are,
how they are paid, who pays them and
how they affect industry, illustrating
the whole process by specific instances
little human stories picked up from
railroad men and from shippers, the
gamers and the sufferers by the sys

With the same power of graphic
statement and clear analysis of facts
which is Ray Stannard Bakers pecu'
liar gift, he makes the rights and
wrongs of this burning question of re-
bates not only clear but interesting,
engrossipg reading.
