A french peaeanr,s FInd.

Not long ago French peasant
named Maurin, while pottering about
between Mende and Chateauneuf-sur
Random. in the Lozere. made a re-
markable archaeological discovery.
His pick, at one particular stroke
sank into the soil with an ease that
excited his suspicious. Carefully pro.
ceeding he dug down into the rains
OF a dwelling that speedily betrayed
itself as very ancient When fully
uncovered 1t proved to be the remains
of a Roman villa once luxuriously fur.
nished The walls still bear traces
of rich frescoes. And behind the
cuckoo clock on the mantlepiece the
peasant Maurin came across the lit
tie tin savings bank of the late in
FAINT Calus Lucullus, Jr It contain
ed a large number of valuable coins,
bearing emgies of Roman emperors
and such like, and maurin came out
Of the adventure naturally in the

cred more fragments of walls, all APP

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT or AcETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH or PLANTS.

Grow to Twice Actual Weight Of Those
Exposed to Sunlight Only Latest
Victory For This New and Beautiful
Illuminant.
The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the beau
tiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are
as effective as sunlight Oh the growth
Of plants, ana this may soon become a
subject for serious consideration 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
THE Light Of Nature" with THE Light
Of AeetyIene" 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 ma
tured pods with the help Of acetylene
light, while without the added light
not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking its place
as an illuminant for towns from a cen
trail plant, for lighting houses, churches,
schools and isolated buildings 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 expense
with which it can be made available
compared with the great advantages
derived from its use The machine in
which the gas is generated is easily in
stalled.

The recent investigation into the af-
fairs of Kent County almshouse by the
newly elected trustees of that instltu-
ton has revealed a deficit of IL, 900 and
loose and unbusiness-like method of
disbursing the almshouse funds. The
Democratic press is inclined to put all
the blame on the Republican admins
tration, while the custom of disburs-
ing the finances now in vogue has been
the practice long before the Republi-
can party come into power. Neverthe-
less, the system, if it can be called
such, is wrong and the investigation
just made will be the means of estab-
fishing a system of vouchers which
will remove all suspicion of misappro-
priation of the funds and put the in
stitutiOn on better business system
Heretofore the overseer of the aims
house has contracted for bills of sup
plies, &C., in his own name and the
funds to pay these bills have been
placed In the overseer's hands. This
method makes it appear that the over
seer has received much larger amount
for his business than he is entitled to
by law and if he is dishonest gives him
a chance to "rake off, CT at the end of
his term may leave large number of
bills unpaid.
Theinvestigation just made disclosed
no misapproprlation of the county's
funds by the overseer whose term has
expired, but the system is wrong and
will be corrected. In the future all
bills will be paid direct by the trustees
to the ones from whom they are pur-
chased and vouchers taken. This will
= 81 oS, matters and make the audit
y4e of the accounts in the future an
easy NATTER besides removing all tenn
tation of dishonesty-DOver State Sen

William Jennings Bryan is laying
his plans to capture the convention Of
1908, and the prospects are that he will
succeed. In his speech in Chicago on
Jefferson's birthday he ignored Judge
Parker utterly and gave his attention
to an outline of Democratic policy as
though he. spoke authoratatively. Mr..
Bryan is likely to succeed in his
purpose OF dominating the next con-
vention for the reason that he is the
most industrious and enterprising Of
all the Democratic leaders, and he has

Effort TO Have Ministers Record the Name Of
Their Alma Mater Lost by Votes.
Some little ginger was thrown into
the session of the New Castle Presby-
terry which met at st. Georges last
week when Rev. r. A. Elwood offered
a resolution that. Each minister re-
ceiving an honorary title and desiring
the same appended to his name in the
minutes shall file with the stated
clerk record of the date when, and the
institution from which received, which
shall be read at the meetings of the
presbytery." IL was laid on the table
on motion of Mr.. Williams in a vote of
10 to 10. When the debate was shut
off Rev. Joseph Brown Turner gave
notice that he would bring the matter
up at the next meeting of the Presby-
terry. Mr.. Elwood promised to be
present with the facts. The amend
ment presented by Mr.. Elwood is de-
signed for article z, section 40, Rules
of Presbytery. The degree question is
one that will bear investigation for it
is believed a number of ministers, not
only Presbyterian but OF all denomi-
nations who are wearing honorary
titles dispensed by "vpgus degree
