appreciated, and if there are any Sc
cret societies other than those includ-
ed in this list, in Hattiesburg, a notice

VenetahIe Horsehair.

Not long ago the farmers and cult
vators in Algeria often went to con
siderable expense to destroy the dwarf
palms which abound in that part Of
Africa. Now, thanks to the constant
pfogress of practical Nscience, these
SEINE once despised plants have oe-
tcme a source of wealth, and are con
gtquently cultivated in their turn.
Taeir leaves furnish ibers from which.
ny very simple processes, is produced
a substitute for horsehair in the man
ufacture of mattresses and of the fill
ing for cushions, chairs and so forth.
Other plants likewise furnish fbers
which are utilized for a similar pur-
pose, but the African dwarf palm at
present holds the lead in this industry.

Scientific News by F. w. Henkel, a fell
low of the Royal Astronomical society.
After describing the difficulty in de-
tecting the apparent motion of the
fixed stars, due to the drift of our
solar system through space, and the
reasons for our present certainty that
such motion exists, Mr.. Henkel goes
on to say:
Many of the stars have been found
to possess proper motions d~isplacing
them gradually in their relative posi-
tions, but the most remarkable thing
of all is to find that in many cases
neighboring stars have proper motions
nearly the same in direction and
amount. This, of course, is partly due
to the suns motion in space causing
this apparent agreement, but allow
ing for this, there is no doubt that
very many are physically connected
though they must be enormously dis
tant from one another.
Thus, five of the seven stars form
ing the 'Plow' are moving together
as a body, and many of the Pleiade:

Remains of a New Extinct Elephant
Discovered in Africa.

In the final report of a recent geo.
logical survey Of Natal and Zululand.
DR.. w. B. Scott, the well known
palaeontologist of Princeton, New Jer-
sey, gives a description of the two last
molars of an extinct elephant obtained
from a deposit of late Tertiary age in
Zululand. For the elephant the author
proposes the name of elephas zulu. Its
teeth have their constituent plates
more numerous and thinner than are
those of the existing African species,
and they are described by DR.. Scott
as being to a great extent intermedi-
ate in this respect between the latter
and those of the extinct European and
Asiatic elephas a%ntiquus. To Mr.. r.
Lydekker, who writes on the subject
in knowledge and Scientific News,
they seem to be much nearer the
molars of the species last named. 1t
is suggested that E. zulu may have
been the ancestor of the living E. afri-
canus, in which case it would almost
be imperative to regard the molars Of
the latter as being of a degenerate
type. This question requires very care
full consideration; but, apart from this,
the discovery is one of great interest.

sALUe OF DAIRY EXPERIENCE.
Dairy Experience Good for the Mss
Who Uses His Thinker.


The value Of dairy experience de-
Ponds on the man that has the ex-
p~erience. The man that thinks and
sees and figures and calculates makes
something out of his experience, while
the man that never sees and never
changes gain nothing in particular
by his experience. He is like the race
horse running round and round in
the ring. He may in time gain a lit
tie extra muscle and be able to go a
little faster, but he gains nothing else.
To the progressive man experience
is worth much. He is a scholar and
is in the school Of experience. Every
day brings a new lesson and every
day he Is more able to do cell with
his work than he was the day before.
He figures and calculates. He weighs
the milk of all his cows and learns In
a few months which cows are CIV
ing little and which much He tests
the milk of his COWS and with the two
kinds of information he is able to
| pick out his poorest cows and discard
them. On the other hand, he is able
to pick out his few very best COWS
and breed them to males that win give
him excellent mixers. This kind o.
experience he turns into money, while
the other kind of a man would not

The value of experience depends
on the man, says Farmers Review.
Many men run in a circle and are al
ways contemplating the anne facts.
A few men try hard to get out of their
circles and do this by a close scrutiny
and analysis of the facts they see, by
which they are able to mark out for
themselves new circles OF a broader
plan. We all run in circles in spite OF
ourselves, but we can enlarge u cir.
cIes if we try, and there is nowhere
a greater necessity for trying than
in dairying.

WHAT IS 1T
q Query as to the Difference Between
Two Dairy Cows.

Two COWS stand side by side in the
stable. To both COWS the same ration
s fed yet one will extract from that
God as much again butterfat as the
he other. The butter product of the
.ood is 100 per cent. greater with n
COW that the other. This fact is seen
n too great frequency in all herds of
COWS. What is that inner quality
whereby one COW can produce so much
more than the other from the same
God? 1t is hard to find the right
game for it, but it may be called
dairy quality" Now, certain breeds
If cattle are distinguished for this
quality. They have the power to ac-
eomplish this work in greater pro-
portion and perfection by eason Of
having been bred to that purpose from
long lines of ancestors of like quality.
One would think that there would not
be a dairy farmer in the land who
would not be keenly alive to the neces-
sity and economy of using such cattle
for dairy purposes. AS soon would
we think he would cut hay with a
reaper and call IL the pest way
But the so-called general purpose
notion has destroyed in not a few men

ceive any deviation from a straight
line, or, indeed, anything beyond the
mere fact of this motion, yet there is
little doubt but that the patch must
really be a curved one, and it has
been supposed that our sun with other
stars is revolving round some great
central body.
From the community of motion of
many of the PIeiades it was supposed
by Nader that Alcyone. the brightest
star in that cluster, is the central sun
round which the others, including our
own sun, also ~revolve. Although, as
Sir ]. Herschel says, it is scarcely
probable that any general circulation
can take place in this position, lying
so far out of the plane of the 'Galac-
tic Circle milky Way, and u
knowledge is by no means sufficient
to decide such a point, yet there is no
reason for doubling that this star may
be at the center of the motion of many
of the ~neighboring stars, and thus a
central sun, though possibly not our

Campus, whose brightness is next to
that of Sirius. Thus, if we suppose
the intrinsic brightness of it's surface
comparable with that of our sun, its
real size must be many thousand times
greater. This star, invisible in our
I.4s&.Jo- xoa- NJ EIdfn utnn thinks
be the center of a system whose mem
bers are at least as large as our own
sun, if not larger, so that here we
seem to have indications of the exist
ence of bodies of a mighty scale of
magnitude. He goes on to say:
There is a general unanimity OF
motion of several hundred stars in the
Pleiades group. The group
is surrounded by large numbers Of
widely extended nebule, most OF
which were first discovered by the
camera before they were perceived by
the eye. Most of the members of this
family have similar spectra, so thai
there seems no reason to doubt the
very close connection of these bodie:
with n another, while the central pc
sition and predominance of Alcyon'
render it highly probable that this
star is the central u of this system.
This, of course, in no way shows
that our own sun also r%evolves rounC
the same center.

To Double Life of Umbremas.

The usual way on coming in out Of
the rain is to place the umbrella in the
rack or corner with the handle uP-
ward. This allows the water to run
down and remain a long time in the
metal that holds ribs together, which
rust the joints and rot the fabric. If
the handle is placed downward instead
of upward the water will run away
from this point first and the whole top
will dry quicker.
