In Lazy Climates.

European and Northern American emigration Is rather shy of California and our eastern gulf states because they are lazy climates. With all it's aversion to work. the human race wants the option of being atee to work. A country where in the grow ing and ripening season a man is forced to intcrmit his toll all through the middle of the day and where there is no long summer twilight to compen- sate for the monday heat will never attract large permanent immigra- tion. For the lazy climates are cli- mates without twilight. There is a distinct relation between twilight hours and racial energy.-N. Y. Mail.

experience shall have taught a little more about reenforced concrete con- struction, the men and the millions will be ready Conditions peculiar to Manhattan have developed the narrow, shaftlike "skyscraper" to it's highest point, and these same conditions will create the first giant structure of 50 stories or more.
 Progressive builders who are operat- ing on large scale in New York know it is coming, but they are not quite ready to accept the new order of things, precisely as the builders of New York and Chicago were slow to accept the possibility and practicability of a 20-story steel frame building 25 years ago.
 But one architect and builder in his dreams of future possibilities and prob- abilities of building construction. has dared to think of l0o-story building.
 "Will New York have a 100-story building in the near future?" this builder makes bold to ask, and then. in answering his own question. he says: Not yet, but soon. Some day it will come. Our civilization is progressing wonderfully. Building is one of the chief factors of civilization. In New York-by that I mean Manhattan island-we must keep on building and we must build upward. Step by step we have advanced from the wooden hut to the 30-story skyscraper. Practically we have reached the limit in altitude with the present type of buildings. Now we must develop something dif- ferent, something larger.
 We may not be ready for the 100- story building yet; perhaps We will have the 50 or 75-story structure in the next stage of development, but the lar ger and higher building we are certain to have. There is a hundred things which come in as important factors in the consideration of the new type of big building. Some of them are appar- ent to every person familiar with a New York skyscraper.
 We have about reached the limit SO far as modern elevator service is con cerned in our high buildings. The weight of the cable for 2s-story build ing is something enormous, and if we are to build much bigher we must find some new method of perpendicular transportation. The difficulties with plunger elevators are just as great. We are taxing our brains with the prob lem of horizontal rapid transit. but the problem of vertical rapid transit must soon be one of equal importance. In New York we travel heayenward as well as on the surface.
 Now. about the lO0-story building. No doubt instead of the old-style eleva- tors now in use it will be equipped with pneumatic tube conveyances. and we shall be shot upward with the rapidity that letters are sent across ! Brooklyn bridge Perhaps we shall have transfer points at each twentieth floor. and at each transfer floor there will be some particular department Maybe on the twentieth floor we shall have the general market. on the for. | tieth floor theaters. on the sixtieth th, shopping district. and 90 on. for youl modern big building of the future vii be a city within itself. It will occupj an entire block. maybe more

together other than that which he had supposed.
 So that was the end of that fish, and in the result 1t proved to have offered mp it's life as vicarious sacrifice to save that of sundry others of it's kind, for the incident so impressed the angler to whom 1t happened that he now never will go fishing without a tuft of sheep's wool on his fly: and. as a consequence. many trout Is scared away whom the lure would otherwise have attracted. Thus. there is a striking moral to the tale-so obvious that persons who pursue the contem- plative recreation may be left to med itate on 1t for themselves.

An OyerWOrked Cow.

A story is going the rounds in Darling
ton that there is an industrious negro in
the county who has cow which he milks
regularly at morning and night. That
same COW he plows till noon, when he
drives her to town with load of wood.
In the afternoon plows again and at
nightfall another load of wood is hauled
to town, at which time the industrious
farmer carries TO market pound of but
ter that his industrious wife has made
from the cows milk. At night the in
dustrious COW grazes in the green forest
nearby. And thus the thing goes on
from day to day. Werecommend neither
the plan nor the butter, but mention it
simply as an example of diversified in
dustry. And add by way of parenthesis
that cow ought to take the prize at the
next State fair.-Darlingto New Era.

Locating the Lost.

In the great work being carried on in
relief of the distressed people at San
Francisco, and in locating friends for
anxious ones, many peculiar letters of
INQUIRY came from all over the country.
They are all sincere, but some of them
not the less amusing. One woman writes:
my husband disappeared three years
ago. Please locate him among the killed

Remember the railroad meeting the
first Monday in June. If you want CON-
petition in freight rates, now is the time
to work. The electric line must be built
~
The candidates are coming out OF the
woods in this county, and it looks like
there will be full crop as usual. We
want to see a number of candidates for
every Office. for we ought to have lot Of
good men to select from.
~
The great importance to Bamberg OF
another railroad cannot be over estl-
mated, and yet some of ourpeople are ap'
parently entirely Indifferent about this
matter. If We want the town to grow
and prosper, we must work to secure
competing freight line.
~
Two important meetings are to be held
in the court house here the first Monday
in June. The railroad meeting is to be
held in the morning and the graded
school mass meeting in the afternoon. A
great deal depends on the action of these
meetings, and there should be large
attendance. There can be no more i'm
portant matter than the election of trus-
tees for our graded school, and every
patron should be present. Get the very
best men to serve-men who will take an
interest in the school and visit it and
look after it's affairs. No man should be
elected who will take little or no interest
in the school.

THE RED SQUIRREL.
He Stores Very Little Food For Csc
In Winter.

He Stores Very Little Food For Use
In Winter.
In Maine-in fact, all over New Eng
land-red squirrels do not put by great
boards Of any kind for winter use.
When a Maine red squirrel has filed
itself with acorns and beechnuts 1t
will hide few here and Hereunder
leaves, in hollow logs, in cracks OF
rifted trees and among stone heaps.
An average red squirrel, having the
run Of an oak grove in the fall Of the
year, may in the course Of two weeks
hide away from two to four quarts OF
acorns, though they will be in perhaps
twenty different places, and In no in
stance which we have noted has any
nut been shelled.
The squirrel which plans a hoard OF
nuts and makes deliberate preparations
for winter is the little chipmunk, or
striped squirrel, which seeks winter
quarters soon after heavy frosts and
which remains in hiding all winter.
The chipmunks often hide as many as
two quarts Of shelled beechnuts in one
place. Their storehouses are, as rule,
under the ground, in sloping and sandy
soil, the burrows having been dug with
true engineering skill, so that no fresh
ct can drown them out.
It is believed that most observing
woodsmen will say that the red squir-
rels Of this vicinity seldom make large
caches Of provisions for winter con-
sumption and never she'll the stored
nuts. In fact, the red species have no
need to pay much heed to such matters,
as they are abroad and active in the
coldest days Of winter as much as they
are in midsummer, SO precautions for
food are not demanded. As the red
squirrels subsist for good part OF the
year upon the cones Of pines and
spruces, which hang to the limbs, they
do not care how deep or hard the snow
may be, feeling secure in finding all
the food they want among the tree
tops.-Bangor News.

AIR IN HIGH ATTITUDES.
The Same M In Other Places, but 1t
Contains No Microbes.

The Same M In Other Places, but 1t
Contains No Microbes.
It is an error to think that the chem
ical composition Of the air differs es-
sentially wherever the sample may be
taken. The relation Of oxygen to nitro
gen and other constituents Is the same
whether it is on the heights Of the Alps
or at the surface of the sea. The fa-
vorable effects, therefore, Of change
Of air are not to be explained by any
difference in the proportions OF ITS
gaseous constituents. The important
difference is the meteorological one.
The air Of high attitudes contains no
microbes and is, in fact, sterile, while
near the ground and some hundred
feet about it microbes are abundant.
In the air Of towns and crowded places
not only does the microbe impurity in
crease, but other impurities, such as
the products Of combustion Of coal, ac-
crue also.
Several investigators have found
traces Of hydrogen and certain hydro
carbons in the air, especially In pine.
oak and birch forests. 1t Is to these
bodies, doubtless consisting Of traces
Of essential oils, that the curative ef-
fects Of certain health resorts are trac-
ed. Thus the locality Of fir forest IS
said to give relief in diseases Of the
respiratory tracts. But these traces of
essential oils and aromatic product
must be counted, strictly speaking, as
impurities, since they are apparently
not necessary constituents Of the air..
Recent analysis has shown that these
bodies tend to disappear in the air as
a higher altitude Is reached until they
disappear altogether. It would seem,
therefore, that microbes, hydrocarbons
and entities other than oxygen and
nitrogen, and perhaps also argon, are
only incidental to the neighborhood Of
human industry, animal life and damp
vegetation.-Chicago Chronicle.

"Burns?"
"Bruise."
"Poultice"
The next day the woman called again,
and the dialogue was as follows:

"More poultice."
Two days later the woman made an
other call, and this conversation occurred.

Maria Mitchell and the Beer Man.

Maria Mitchell, the famous astronomer,
was once directed by her physician to
use lager beer as tonic. On the way to
visit her sister, Mrs. Joshua Kendall, of
Cambridge, Mass, she stopped at sal
DON and purchased bottle of beer and
afterward asked her brother.in-law to op-
en- it for her. The Mitchell family, &C
cording to the Boston Herald, spoke
among themselves, after the Quaker Gus
tom. "Where did thee get it, Maria?"
questioned her sister. "At the saloon on
the corner" replied Miss Mitchell, Sc
renely. "Why, Maria! Doesn't thee know
respectable women don't 60 into such

manner of one who has done all that
could be required, Il told the man he
ought to be thoroughly ashamed Of his
trafic."-New York Tribune.

WONDERFUL MlRAGES.
Those Seen In the Winter Twilight
In Northern Alaska.

In Northern Alaska.
The most wonderful mirages ever &C.
held by mortal eyes are those that are
seen in the twilight winter days In
northern Alaska. These remarkable
ghastly pictures of things, both imag-
mary and real, are mirrored on the
surface of the waste plains instead Of
upon the clouds or in the atmosphere.
Mimic lakes and water courses fringed
with vegetation are to be seen pictured
as real as life on the surface Of the
snow, while grassy mounds, stumps,
trees, logs, etc., which have an actual
existence some place on the earth's sur
face, are outlined against mountains Of
snow in all kinds of fantastic shapes.
Some Of these objects are distorted
and magnified into the shapes of huge,
ungainly animals and reptiles Of enor-
nous proportions. The fogs and mists
are driven across these wastes by the
winds, and as the objects referred to
loom up in the flying vapors they ap-
pear like living creatures and seem to
be actually moving rapidly across the
plain.
At other times they appear high in
the air, but this is characteristic OF
the northern mirages that are seen
near the seashore. When the vapors
and mists are driven out to sea the
images mirrored in them appear to be
lunging through the waters at terrific
rate Of speed, dashing the spray high
in the air, while huge breakers roll
over them and onward toward the
mountainous islands beyond and
against which they all appear to be
dashing.. Monstrous serpents, appar-
emily several hundred feet long, some
times with riders on their backs. men
on horseback thirty to fifty feet in
height, animals and birds Of all kinds
of horrible shapes and colors seem to
be scurrying past racing and chasing
each other until they are lost in the
twilight fogs or dashed to pieces upon
the rocky islands mentioned above and
which are twenty miles out to sea.

NATURE IN THE OCEAN.
Creatures Devourtng Each Other ia

Creatures Devourtng Each Other to
Prevent Overproduction.
It is estimated that the cyclops will
beget $4,000 young in the course Of
the year, and if these were all permit
ted to mature and reproduce them
selves the seas would in short time
be simple mass Of living organisms.
But the cetochilus, or whale food,'
constitutes almost the exclusive food
of the vast shoals Of herrings and the
sea living salmon and salmon trout.
Their existence is one of the greatest
economic triumphs of nature, for these
minute creatures scour the sea of its
refuse and keep it sweet, while they
form the food Of fishes, which in turn
furnish wholesome food for millions Of
human beings.
Feeding on dead vegetable and ami
NAL matter, these entomostraca are
converted into the food fishes OF the
world by one remove, being first assim-
ilated by the herrings, then absorbed
by the funny. cod, mackerel and other
fishes which follow herring shoals and
prey upon the latter. They mainly
swim on the surface Of the water, and
+ it is the search Of them in this position
which brings the shoals of behring's to
the surface. Their countless numbers
are also augmented by the microscopic
larvae Of fixed shells, such as the bar
nacle, which begins life in this form
first as a one eyed swimming crusta-
cean, then growing pair Of eyes and
finally affixing itself.
In rivers these larvae are the sole
food Of all young fish and often also of
older fish. In early spring the crea-
lures in every stage-eggs, larvae and
perfect though miscroscopic entomos-
traca-swarm in the water, on the mud
and on the water plants, and were 1t
not for natures provision for keeping
them in check so rapid would be their
rate of multiplication that the whole
character Of the water would speedily
be entirely changed.

Courage.

The greater part Of the courage that
is needed in the world Is not Of he
roic kind. Courage may be displayed
in everyday life as well as in historic
fields of action. There needs, for ex-
ample, the common courage to be hon
est, the courage to resist temptation,
the courage to speak the truth, the
courage to be what we really are and
not to pretend to be what we are not,
the courage to live honestly within our
own means and not dishonesty upon
the means Of others.-Smiles.

Indian Ocean serpents.

Among the most venomous serpents
In the world are the marine snakes OF
the Indian ocean. They are the dread
of fishermen, and it sometimes hap
pens that vessels are obliged to thread
their cables through barrels to pre-
vent the reptiles from swarming on
board. Great numbers Of them may
often be seen floating on the surface
of the water as If asleep. They are
exceedingly fierce and will commonly
attack human beings without provoca-
ton.
