Early Balloon Aseensions.

The first balloon ascension was
made in 1783 in France, by Stephen
and Joseph Montgolfer, two paper
makers. They succeeded in reaching.
in a small balloon, the height OF If
teen thousand feet. Before this date,
however, Cayendish, who had discov-
cred hydrogen gas in l766, and BE *.
who had the following year discov-
cred that this gas would cause light
envelop filed with it to rise OF its
own accord. had laid the foundation
Of aeronautics-
In the same year that the Mont
golfer brothers made their assent,
Professor Charles made an ascension
in balloon Of his own construction
before half the population OF Paris.
Balloon ascensions were not wholly
successful, however, until Green OF
Ar,erica introduced coal gas instead
of hydrogen with which to initiate the
bag Of the ballon.
The highest balloon ascension, on
record was made by Glaisher and.
Coxwell from Wolverhampton in Sep
tember, 1852. They reached the alti-
tude of seven miles, of thirty-seven
thousand feet. The cold at this height
was about twelve degrees below zero.
Glaisher became insensible, and Cox
wells hands were frozen, but by the
aid Of his teeth he managed to open
the valve in the balloon and descend
In safety.

BOW to Make Corn,

In The State of last Sunday week
Mr.. James Henry Rice gives the tes-
timony Of number Of farmers in
the Pee Dee section IN regard to their
success in raising corn under the plan
recommended by Mr.. E. NJ. William
son. The Darlington News says
"when Mr.. William son first published
his method Of cultivating corn there
were many who doubted whether it
would really do what he claimed for
it, They knew that theory and prac-
tice are often very wide apart-but
enough farmers have raised corn
the past season according to Mr.
Williamson's formula to prove con-
clusively that the plan will work and
is a decided success. Some OF our
farmers raised so much corn this year
that they pid not have cribs enough
to house it and many others have
raised more corn than they ever raised
before on twice the acreage. All this
is very encouraging and should stimu.
late our farmers to further efforts
to improve their methods along
other lines. II the plan accomplishes
so much in Darlington and other
places where it has been tried, why
can't it be made to d. the same thing
in this country.

4 FUitarian Diet.

A fruitarian diet consists OF the
fruits of trees (like apples, oranges,
bananas and olives), the fruits OF
plants (like strawberries and melons
lentils and beans and cucumbers),
the fruits Of grasses (like wheat and
barley and maize and oats), the
fruits Of nut trees (from flbert to
cocoanut), together with some earth
fruits Qike potatoes), and modi-
cum of vegetables and salads. To
these may be added butter, milk,
honey and cheese, although their
production is not so free from risk
OF contamination and animal infec-
tion as is the case with the products
of the vegetable kingdom and the
world of fruits. Grown under healthy
with diseased specimens
easy to detect and remove, 1t Is far
more possible to live healthily and
well upon fruitarian dietary than
upon the products of the slaughter
house. se.-Westmtnster Review.

Properties Of Glars.

Glass is one OF the most interesting
as well as one of the most peculiar
things in the world. 1t has curious
IND contradictory qualities, and laaay
astonishing phenomena are connected
with it. Brittle and hreakable as it
is, yet it exceeds almost all other
bodies in elasticity.
If two glass balls are made to strike
each other at given force. the re-
coil, by virtue Of their elasticity, viii
be nearly equal to their original im-
petus. Connected with its brittleness
are some very singular facts.
: Take hollow sphere, with a hole,
and stop the whole with the finger, SO
as to prevent the external and in
ternal air from communicating, and
the sphere will fly to pieces by the:
mere heat Of the hand. Vessels made
of glass that has been suddenly
cooled possess the curious property Of
being able to resist hard blows given
to them from without, but will be In.
stantly shivered by small particle OF
fnt dropped into their cavities. This
property seems to depend upon the
comparative thickness of the bottom. !.
the thicker the bottom is, the more
certainty Of breakage by this expert
ment. Some Of these vessels, it is
stated have resisted the stroke OF
mallet given with sufficient force to
drive a nail into wood; and heavy
bodies, such as musket-balls, pieces
of iron, bits Of wood, jasper, stone,
ETC., have been cast into them from
height of two or three feet without
any effect, yet fragment of flint not
larger than a pea dropped from
height Of three inches has made them
fly.

NATURAL DETECTIVE FORCE.
Why Man Who Commits Crime IN

Alaska Cannot Escape.

in the cold country than there is In
the States" says Gov. II. P. Hoggart
of Alaska, IN the Washington Post.
That detective force is nature,
When a man commits crime in the
States he has many places to hide,
and be often manages to eVade the
authorities forever. If one Of our
people who does something wrong
believes the climate Of some other
country will better suit his health
and he makes for that country he
undertakes the impossible. All we
have to do is to sit and wait. There
is only one way out Of Alaska, and
that is by coming to the coast, and
when the criminal comes to the coast
he Is sure to be caught.
$50 well has the United States
Signal Corps done its work in Alaska
that we have a telegraph line to
every mining camp Of Importance,
and when man takes leg bail all
there Is to do Is to telegraph to the
coast towns, and the authorities wait
for the man. 1t would be impossible
for the poor fellow to try to get away
by any other route than the coast,
because he would never live to re-
late his experience.
"On the other side OF the coast
range of mountains are vast plains,
stretching for many hundreds Of
miles, wholly uninhabited. On ac-
count of the haste with which crtml-
nails generally leave there Is no tima
in which to provide an adequate out

But it Is seldom that 1t IS neces-
sary to make use of this natural de-
tective force to track wrongdoers.
will venture to say that there Is nc
country In the world where the peo-
pie are as orderly as they are IN
Alaska. All the tales Of iawlessness
Of the mining camps Of the forty
miners are not repeated II Alaska.
From the very hrst the people have
been orderly, and they make 1t so
uncomfortable for the criminal who
comes among them that he Is glad to

Best of rood.

All students OF comparative anat.
omy know now that the teeth Of hu.
man beings are identical with these
OF the frugivorous apes who live on
fruit and nuts. Not only so, but the
proportion OF bowel length to body
..ength in man corresponds exactly
with that in the same spscies In
marked contrast to what obtains in
all carniYc:ous snimsls where the
bowel Is proportionately short. A
study OF anatomy, therefore, suggests
q fruit diet as the most suitable;
further confirmation is afforded by
the obvious pred1ection OF nearly all
children for such food. The best
fruits for food are apples, BANANAS,
grapes; nuts, dates, rstsins and figs.

Startling E,tSures.

The Chicago Tribune says the TO-
tai Of embellishments and kindred
thefts for 1906 amounts to sl4,739,653,
about S. 100000 more than last year.
Of this total 80, ,745,3 1886 was stolen by
officials of banks, 1,6S4,5 by public
officials other than postotlice employees,
s22 ,5S5 by the latter, s37s,57l bV
agents, s24S, 100 from loan associa-
tions, 1929, ,6S7 by means Of forgerles
and the other defalcations amounting
to 81. .42S, 500, were so varied in their
nature that they must be classed as
miscellaneous.
The comparison with last year is
not so much to the discredit OF this
year when it is remembered that
more than s1O,Oo0,000 Of the money
embezxled was taken by three men
one in Chicago, one in Philadelphia
and one in Cuba, the agent Of a New
York house. In each Of these three
cases the figures represent the total
OF many years of stealing which was
discovered only this year. 1t is unfair
to charge it ali against the year 1906.
A better compassion will be made
with the years 1894 to 1897. In 1894
the embellishments. etc., amounted to
s25 ,234, ,ll2, for the next three years
averaged over $40, 100000 a year. The
special reason for the LOSES Of 1894
was the consequence of the panic ot
the year before, but 1t must be re-
membered that the money in banks
at that time was only about half as
much as at present, If the percentage
Of loss is considered, the year 1906 is
distincly better than 1895, 1896 OF
1897, although the loss in dollars is
greater than any year since 1894.

TESTING THE SILVER DOLLAR.
Six Taken From Every Minta9e and
Carefully Examined.

When the phrase "jost Ike coin n'ns

Yet coming money is about as difficult
an undertaking as any that engages
the attention of men, and after The
work is done it may not be right.
The precautions taken to test and
insure perfection in the coins which
Uncle Sam turns out are really as
complete in their workings as the
original process Of minting the bull
lion into the coin.
Out of every fresh batch Of silver
dollars made at the United States
mints half dozen are sent to the
treasury at Washington to be tes.ed
as samples. If they turn out to be
Of the requisite fineness and weight
it is taken for granted that the whole
edition is correct.
For the test, the coin, after being

strip more than a foot in length:
Then the stip is placed beneath arrow
of punches, which punch holes IN It,
so that after passing beneath the in.
strument it has the look OF a coll
ander.
A great many little silver disks are
thus obtained. and Of these a dozen or
so are taken and assayei, to find out
how much silver they contain. Being
obtained from various parts of the
coin, they represent fairly the aver
age fneness OF the dollar throughout.
| If the weight is too little, beyond q
very tiny fraction, the whole batch Of
coins must be melted over again, and
the same thing must be done if the
