Comet Panics.

Joseph Jerome Lafrancais de La
lande, the popular French astronomer
Of century ago, differed from New
toms view that Providence had SO ar
ranged matters as to make collision of
the earth with a comet impossible and
wrote paper to prove that 1t was
only very improbable. This paper,
which was to have been read with 9TH
ers before the French academy on a
certain day in 1913, got crowded out,
but the Partisan public, hearing of it,
made up its mind that Lalande had
predicted the impending destruction of
the earth and such panic ensued that
the police had to order the publication
of the paper to reassure the public
mind. But even then it was popularity
believed that the paper had been DELHI
erately toned down and comet panics
continued for a quarter of century.

A SLAB OF BLACK STONE.

Key to All the Ancient Writings of the
Egyptians.
There is a slab of black stone in the
British museum which if you could
walk away with it and establish your
claim as the owner you could sell any
day for quarter of million and find
half dozen money kings in England
and America ready to buy it.
There is nothing very striking about
this stone. 1t might be a piece Of
black marble with some peculiar hero
glyphics upon it. But it is just these
hieroglyphics which make it so valua-
BILE, because they are the key to all
the ancient writings of the Egyptians.
and without this stone, called the Ro-
setta stone, we should be unable to
read the Egyptian writings which have
been discovered from time to time.
Some French tourists found the Ro-
setta stone in Egypt and transported
it to Paris. where an Englishman took
a fancy to it for a garden ornament
He paid f5 for its sovereigns-and
got treasure which you could cover
with gold and yet not represent it's
value, but till the day Of his death he
did not know what that bit of stone
was worth.-London World

A HEAVY MIDDAY MEAL.
The Business Man, It Is Claimed,
Should Avoid 1t.


The Americans and English begin
the das with breakfast, which is gen.
orally substantial meal. This the
people of the continent of Europe con-
slider barbaric and disgusting. The
Frenchman and the German breakfast
on a scanty roll. They are consequent
ly unable to go till the afternoon with
out absorbing something massive. The
Frenchman toward noon takes a sub
stantial lunch, and at midday the Ger
man takes Il heavy meal, which alb
serbs his digestive energies during the
remainder of the day. The German
dinner makes a big break in the work
ing day, and the eater. according to
DR.. Martinez Of Paris. suffers by a loss
of energy during the afternoon. The
heavy midday meal DR.. Martinez con-
siders mistake One should not have
dinner at noon, in the middle of ones
workday, he says, but instead should
take light lunch. The lightest meal
of the day, he thinks, should be during
the period of exertion, and the heavy
meal should be reserved for a later
hour, when there is a chance for di-
gestive repose. The proper series for
the modern man, according to this au-
thority, is a substantial breakfast, a
light lunch about noon and a square
meal at o'clock or later.-Baltimore

IMPROVING A PASTURE.
Manurial Treatment = Altering the
Character Of Heritage.

ManurIal Treatment - Alrertng the
Character Of Heritage.
A considerable Improvement can be
made on most poor pastures by suit
able manurial treatment where there is
no deficiency in the supply OF moisture.
The principle of Improvement con-
sistS in altering the character of the
heritage by rendering the chemical con-
dition of the soil favorable to the
growth of white clover and plants of
the same natural order.
The growth of such plants among
other effects increases the soils sup
ply of heterogeneous material, and in old
land hay diminshes the demand for
direct heterogeneous manuring.
Use of Basic Stag.
Direct heterogeneous manuring and the
manurial residues from the feeding Of
grain to the grazing stock are unprof-
liable and ineffective in the early stages
Of pasture improvement, according to a
writer in American Cultivator.
Abundant supplies of available phos-
phate, potash and lime are necessary
to promote the growth of clover. The
seed must be sown if the plant is total
~ absent and there are no dormant
seeds in the soil.
The cheapest combination Of avail
able phosphate and lime is furnished in
basic Stag, and this manure has in gen
eral been demonstrated to be the most
profitable form in which to supply
these ingredients. The application of
lime alone has been uniformly unprof-
table Ground lime and superphos-
plate make more costly combination,
and, though an improvement is effected
in pastures, it has mot been proved
equally profitable.
For Leguminous Crops.
Potash is especially necessary for
leguminous heritage, and the addition
of kainit to the phosphate dressing
has been proved to be profitable on a
considerable range of soils from the
beginning. 1t is probable even on those
clay soils, which are at present regard
ed as exceptions, that after the first
year the soils supply of available pot
ash will require to be supplemented in
order 10 maintain suitable conditions
for the production of nutritious and
we'll mixed heritage.

The Mint Crop.

The peppermint crop in western Mich
igan includes from 1000 to 5000 acres,
mostly reclaimed swamp land. 1t is
rich and heavy soil, but still wet and
springy at certain times in the year,
The mint fields are carefully prepared
and kept free of weeds. The mint is
moved. partly dried and put through
a distillery to extract the oil. Most
large growers have distilling outfits on
their farms. The usual yield in the
Michigan section is about fifty pounds
of Oil per acre, and the price this year
is $3.50 a pound. Most of the mint
produced in this country is grown in

Others report various articles lost and
the railroad companies seem unable to

Shipments of all kinds are badly de-

the large traffic because of insufficient

DAY CASE TO BE TRIED.
Interesting Case in GrinneIl Over
Shooting of Young Whitmore Boy.

Special to Times-Republicar.
Grinnell, Sept. 28.-The demurrer
filed by the defense in the case Of ].
f. Whitmore and Ida Whitmore. his
wife, VS. e. P. Day, ct al, was over
ruled and the case must go to trial.
This is an action in which there has
been considerable interest in Grinnell.
1t arises out of the shooting of the
minor son of Mr.. and Mrs. Whitmore
by the minor son Of the defendant,
while the two boys were out together
with a rifle. The Whitmore boy is
permanently paralyzed. The plaintiffs
claim that the parents of the Day boy
are responsible for damages irrespec-
tive of their relationship, for allowing
a rifle to be in the. hands Of their son.
The demurrer of the defense was based
on the point of law that parents are
not responsible for the overt acts COM
mitted by their minor children. The
question is an unusual one.
