Some Physical Facts.

A persons eyes are out OF line in
two cases out of five and one eye is
stronger than the other in seven
persons out of ten. The right eye
is also as a rule higher than the left.
Only one person in fifteen has per-
feet eyes, the largest percentage OF
defects prevailing among fair haired
people. The smallest vibration OF
sound can be distinguished better
with one ear than with both. The
nails of two fingers never grow with
the same rapidity, that Of the mid
die finger growing the fastest. In
ffty-four cases out of a hundred the
left leg is shorter than the right.

Clnehena.

Cinchona was originally called
Countess powder" from the fact
that it was said to have been intro
duced into Europe by the Countess
of Cinchona, wife of the viceroy Of
Peru. 1t was also called Peruvian
bark and Jesuits' bark, from the
country where it was originally dis
covered and from the Jesuit fathers
who used it in medical practice. 1t
was first used in the cure Of inter-
mittent fevers about 1910. The tree
from which the bark is procured
grows in Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela,
New Granada and many other parts
of South America and has been
planted with success in India and
Ceylon. There are said to be over
a dozen varieties Of the cinchona
producing plant, all Of which yield
bark of different quality. Quinine,
or quinia, an alkaloid contained in
the bark, was discovered by Pelle-
tier and Caventon in 1920. 1t is be-

Plant Growth In Winter,

Plant life is not dormant during
the winter when the thermometer
is below freezing point, as any OBJ
server of vegetation in winter may
note for himself. The Towering buds
Of the red maple, the dogwoOds,
willows and many other plants,
scarcely discernible in the axis at
the fall Of the leaf, become SO large
by spring as to be ready to burst on
"a moments notice." and this
though the thermometer may have
been continuously near zero. OBJ
servers in the Alpine regions Of Eu-
rope have noted that gentians and
similar plants will grow and even
flower under the snow which has
enveloped them the whole winter
through, thawing out by their own
internal heat little chambers in the
protecting snow. And the same is
recorded of the American snow
plant, the Sierra Nevada's Sarcodec
sanguinea. 1t is often found in full
bloom when the snow melts away
from it and indeed derives its COM
mon name from this fact.

The Chinese Way.

In China the entire family is held
responsible for the acts of any Of it's
members, and for certain offenses,
such as an attempt on the life Of the
emperor, all are executed, even to
the babe in arms. The tepaom or
dean of the village, elected by uni
versal suffrage, is responsible for the
conduct of the families of his do
main. The subprefect, project, gov
ernor and viceroy are all responsible
in different degrees. An inundation
and famine are laid at the door Of
the governor or the vic roy, who are
father and mother to the people"
A number of years ago a msndarin
was murdered by soldiers. AS a re-

HORSE TORTURE.

|, Sitting the NostriIs 10 Not Vet q
Wholly Obsolete Practice.
Sitting horses nostrils is still
practiced in some parts of the world,
as in Persia, Mongolia and even in
northern Africa, and ponies with
slit nostrils are often seen in the
Himalayas and in Afghanistan. This
mutilation is resorted to in the er-
roneous belief that the horse can in
hale more air when going at fast
pace and also that it prevents neigh
ing, a disqualification of much i'm
portance during war or when it is
desirable to travel as silently as
possible. 1t was practiced in Hun
gary not long ago, if we are to ac-
cept as evidence the copy Of finish
ed sketch of horses head by the
celebrated Zoffani, given in Colonel
Hamilton's work on horses. 1t is
rather surprising that the fashion
was not renewed in England, for two
or three centuries ago to prevent a
horse neighing it was recommended
to tie a wooden band around the
tongue. Markham says
of either when you are in service
in the wars and would not be dis
covered or when upon any other oc-
casion you would not have your
horse to neigh or make noise you
shall take a lyste (band) Of wooden
cloth and tye it fast in many folds
about the middle of your horses
tongue, and believe it, so long as the
tongue is so tyed so long the horse
can by no means neigh or make any
extraordinary noise with his voice,

TIME.
tie Disability and Its Relation to the
Speed Of the Planets.

Speed of the Planets.
Napoleon, who knew the value Of
time, remarked that it was the quar-
ter hours that won battles. The
value Of minutes has been often rec
ognized, and any person watching
d railway clerk handing out tickets
and change during the last few min
utes available must have been struck
with how much could be done in
those short portions of time.
AT the appointed hour the train
starts and by and by is carrying pas
sengers at the rate Of sixty miles an
hour. In a second you are carried
twenty-nine yards. In one twenty
ninth Of a second you pass over one
yard. Now, one yard is quite an
appreciable distance, but one TWEEN
ty-ninth of a second is a period
which cannot be appreciated.
Yet it is when we come to plane
tary and stellar motions that the
notion of the infinite divisibility of
time dawns upon US in a new light.
1t would seem that no portion of
time, however microscopic, is una
valuable. Nature can perform prod
igies not certainly in less than no
time, but in portions of it so mi
mute as to be altogether inconceiva-
bic. The earth reyolyes on her axis
in twenty-four hours. AT the equa-
tor her circumference Is $4,000
miles; hence in that part Of the
earth a person is being carried east
ward at the rate of 500 yards per
second-that is, he is moving over
a yard, whose length is conceivable
in the period of one fve-hundred-
and-ninth part of second, Of which
we can have no conception at all.
But more, the orbital motion Of
the earth around the sun causes the
former to perform a revolution Of
nearly 6OO,OOO,OO0 miles in a year,
or somewhat less than 10000 miles
an hour, which is more than 1000
miles a minute. Here, then, our
second carries us the long distance
Of about nineteen miles. The
mighty ball thus flies about a mile
in the nineteenth part of a second.

VIRGINIA APPLES

This Profitable Crop

I
This Profitable Crop
Virginia's pippin apples are be.
coming famous the world over,
and so rare and highly valued il
this fruit considered that little Of
it is now reaching the American
consumer; for five years past II
has been eagerly sought by the
exporter for shipment. where il
commands prices far above the
range of prices paid for other ap.
Piles sold in the domestic market.
There ara now in Virginia, well
adopted to the raising Of apples,
about $4,000 square miles of coun-
try where some striking successes
have been achieved in recent years,
The possibilities In this line are
hardly to be thought of.
The counties of Alexandria,
Fairfax, Loudoun, Clarke, Fred.
erick, Prince William, Fauquier,
Warren, Shenandoah, Rockingham,
Page, Rappahannock, Madison,
Green, Orange, Culpeper, Able
marie, Augusta, Highland, Bath,

roll, Pulaski, Giles, Bland, Wythe,
Grayson, Tazewell, Smythe, Rus
sell, Washington, Buchanan, Dick
enson, Wise, Scott, Lee, Louisa,
Fluvanna, Buckingham, Apo
mattox, and Halifax are said to
lie especially suited to the raising
CT this fine quality of fruit, and
wherever the industry has been
undertaken the success has been
phenomenal. In this list Of fifty
five counties there are twenty
with orchard areas of not less
than 100000 bearing apple trees.
In Albemarle, Nelson and Amherst
counties the farmers are said to
have been convinced of the value
of the investment and are turning
their attention largely in this d.
rection.
On the branch road that runs
from DauVille to Stuart, the coun-
ty seat of Patrick county, are said
to be acres not surpassed by any
other section in the world for
apple raising. The first apple
orchards planted in that section
were in the valleys and their pro-
duction was made principally into
brandy. Recently higher eleva-
tions have been chosen with the
result that better fruit is produced.
In the higher location especial
ly in the mountains near the sum-
nit of the Blue Ridge, ii e
famous Newtown and Albemarle
pippins are grown with great sue
cess. York imperial, Winesap,
Grimes, Jonathan and other va
rieties attain their best growth in
this section.
As stated, these apples cou mand
the best price attainable for ex-
port and are eagerly sought by
shippers at New York ard other
places. The main trouble with
the Virginia fruit is that many of
the orchards are miles from any
railroadland the expense of haul
ing heavy loads long distances
discourages mary growers from
attempting to find a steady market
for their fruit.
The Virginia apples of the kind
mentioned compare favorsbly with
the famous fruit from New York
State and from Southern Indiana
and Illinois, from which places
the larger part of the export apple
crop is annually drawn. In the
counties mentioned in Virginia
abundant yields with good finan-
cial results are common wherever
cultivation is given proper atten-
ton.
