LIKE MANY OTHER PHENOMENA
Perfectly Reasonable Explanation Of
Peculiar happening.

One virtue of an uninteresting book
has been discovered by physician.
He says he tried to read dull novel
the other night, but soon found him
self turning over the pages hurriedly.
He claims that when he commenced
to read his library was uncomfortably
warm, but after rapidly turning about
a hundred pages looking for bright
things he gradually became aware
that the room was getting cooler Be-
ing. like most doctors, inclined to ex-
pertinent scientifically, he consulted
his thermometer and learned that
when he struck long historical pas
sages in the novel his lack of interest
and skipping pages reduced the tenn
perature at an alarming rate. Just
as he felt sure he was getting con-
gestive chill he turned to throw the
book into the crate and saw that his
fire had gone out.

Scientific Farming of the pav.

Within the last few years much
progress has been made in reducing
farming to science. The United
States department of agriculture has
long been working to that end. The
up-todate farmer no longer works In
a haphazard manner. He has learned
to study the nature of his soil and as,
certain the crops that will best grow
in it. The department of agriculture
is constantly searching for the new
productive plants which will thrive
under all the varying conditions In
the country. Crops can now be cult
waited profitably in what for ages has
been waste land. The farmer has g
wider range in selecting what crops
he shall produce. He also has the
benefit of many methods of cultiva
ton from which to choose 1t is pre-
dicted that in 1910 the yield of mucf
land, per acre, will be twice what II

UPS AND DOWNS OF STEEL
Why 1t Is, as Andrew Carnegie Says,
Either prince" or
"Pauper."

The steel corporation, since Its
formation five years ago, has paid out
more than $300,000,000 in bond inter-
est and stock dividends, and more than
$3.50, 100000 to it's workmen, out OF
gross sales of more than S2,OO0,OOO,-
900, writes Frank Fayant, in Success
Magazine.
The effect of declining prices and
consumption on the profits of steel
making is to wipe them out in a short
time. If steel company, for exam
pie, in good times" makes million
tons of finished products at cost OF
$50 a ton, and sells its tonnage at an
average price of SOS ton. 1t makes
SIS a ton, or $1S,00000 on its out
put. If, in a reaction in the steel
business. the company's output de-
clines TO 100000 tons, while prices
! fall only 25 per cent. with no reduc-
| ton in operating costs, the profits are
cut from s1S,O00,O00 to $1,0OO,OOO.
In 1902 the steel corporation re
ceived $560,000,000 for S,20OO0O tons
of products. which cost to produce

though its output had fallen off only
II per cent, and the average selling
price per ton had declined only Az
per cent. and the average cost mad
risen only Az per cent, the profits de-
clined to $SO,OO0OOO or a loss OF AZ

Newspaper Reading a Necessity

Doubtless there is such thing as
the newspaper habit, which comes to
be a form of mental dissipation and
tends to weaken the power of close at.
tention and prevent the sort of study
and concentration which leads to in
tellectual growth. That should be
avoided, but no man OF to-day, how
ever much he may be absorbed in his
occupation or however much he may
pride himself on culture that con
sists chiefly in knowledge Of bygone
things, can afford to neglect or be
ignorant of the marvellous daily rec
ord that is made in print of the time
in which he lives.-Cincinnati En-
