PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH

The southern states have made rapid
progress, both in industrial develop
ment and agricultural growth, during
the last few years. The Manufacturers
Record, referring TO the material ad
vance which the south has made. says
that within the last year or two south
ern farm properties have increased not
less than $1,000, OO0OO0 in value, proba-
bly, at least s1.5OO,OOO,OOO This has
several important meanings for that sec
ton, one of which is that hereafter the
land will be more thoroughly cultivated.
production increased and the agricul-
tural producers of the south rendered
still more prosperous. At the same time
there is going forward a steady develop
mcnt of manufacturing industries.
which in those states where fuel and
raw materials abound is proceeding rap
idly But, rs the Record remarks il
is nevertheless true that by virtue of
the extent of the agricultural interests
/ OF the south, agriculture is yet the foun-
datioD of the business of that section

The Mystery OF
Mark Pagan

al Look in McClure's for
al January and see what
q plain man like Marx
Faoan can do. Feel how
strange it is--even as the
people or Jersey City have.
And then feel the JOY or
clearing your mind OF a
mystery-the pure JOY OF
seeing through a thlng-of
understanding.
Pagan, for a plain man,
did his job marvelously
well so well that men
wondered at him. There
lay the mystery. The solu-
ton lay in finding Fagan's
reason, And the reason
though be a utiful to look
upon-is, after all, a plain
mans reason-the simplest
and best reason in the world
Perhaps when you have
felt the mystery, and got the
so ution, you will think that

sons can do a great deal for
their country, This is one

new iluminant which the inventor
calls artificial daylight" until he can de
eide upon a better name, is being shown
at the electrical show in Madison Square
garden. The public is perfectly familiar
with the greenish- blue rays of the Peter
Cooper Hewitt light. Artificial daylight
is manufactured on the same general prin-
ciple, but Judging from the tests in the
garden. it is a great improvement over the
Hewitt light. Suspended from the ceiling
of the lobby of the garden and standing
out little way from the sidewalks Is an
endless tube of glass, filled with luminous
smoke, which takes on different coors at
will. Ordinarily the light 1t gives out is
clear. warm and white. quite lacking in
glare or disagreeable intensity Every nook
and crevice OF the gardens entrance is
Illuminated and there is not the slightest
discomfort to the eyes of those subjected
to the rays.
Briefly the principle involved in this light
is that of filling a vacuum tube with chemi-
cal vapors which will conduct electricity,
taking on in the process a marvellous lu-
minosity. The field OF usefulness for the
new light is. as matter of course, prac-
tically unlimited. 1t is adaptable for stores
shops, trains, street cars and even for
street lighting. Ii Is asserted that the
of incandescent light and that its strength
exceeds that of the ordinary electric light

wrote the editorial on the morning after

In his time he was the foremost newspa-
