The DANGEROUS Aoc.

If a man is going to commit a crime
during his lifetime the chances are
that he will do it at the age of twenty
nine. 1t Is q curious fact that Stats
tics have shown that man is more dan
gerous at this period of his life than
at any other The majority OF crimi-
nails in the state of New York have for
some time been of this age. The gen
eral superstition is that men have at
tanned the highest development of their
mental and physical powers at twenty
nine, and they are supposed to he atle
to distinguish between right and
wrong and to realize the consequences
liable to follow the indulgence of Ell
Their. Next to the age of twenty-nine
the greatest number of criminals have
been twenty-one, twenty-seven or for
ty-five years of age. The intervening
years, in which men do not commit
as many crimes. have not been explain
ed by expert criminologists who have
made Investigations proving the above
statements to be true and who are still
working on q solution Of the problem.

Motion of Planets and Satellites.

All the planets travel the same way
round This is true not only of the
eight primary planets, but of the as
teroids. Again. all the secondary plan,
cts or satellites travel the same way
round, this direction of revolution be-
ing the same as that in which the plan
cts revolve around the sun. except the
satellites of Uranus, which, however
can hardly be said to have any dlrec-
ton of motion with reference to the
general level in which the planetary
system circuits, for they travel in
planes nearly square to that level.
Lastly, as respects direction of motion.
all the planets whose rotation has been
observed, including our earth and moon
and the sun also, rotate on their axes
In the same direction. 1t must be I'M
derstood that this direction Is one and
the same for all these motions-the rev.
olutions Of the planets around the sun,
of the satellites around the planets and
of the planets on their axes. 1T seems
natural to infer that the uniformity is
the result of some general condition af-
fecting the whole scheme from the be-
ginning Richard A. Proctor.

THE STRAWBERRY BED.

A lady reader of these notes makes
inquiry regarding the best varieties OF
Strawberries to plant In the home gar
den and whether it Is more satisfactory
to have one or more varieties. 1t Is o
matter of both observation and expert
ence that there are certain varieties
which do better in certain portions of
the country than in Others, this being
due without doubt to difference in eli
matte and soil conditions. For the
western central states the Warfield
Dunlap and Candy do not make q bac
combination. TO this many would ado
the Clyde, which, though prolific
bearer, produces a berry somewhat in
ferior in quality and flavor. For the
eastern section of the country the At
lantic. Marshall, William Belt and Glen
Mary are favorites, with the Candy
added as n late variety. For the home
garden we would recommend planting
three or forr varieties in alternate
rows. Get the plants from your near
est neighbor IL possible, If not from
your nearest reliable nurseryman. Sol

dition and the roots of the plants,
moistened and clipped slightly before
the plants are set in the ground. The
rows should be three and a half feet
apart and the plants about twenty
inches apart in the row. While there
may be times when the plants should
be watered after setting out, due to o
very dry condition of the soil. we dc
not believe this is advisable as a gen
eral thing. as it Is likely to result In
a baking Of the soil about the plant
which does n great deal more harm
than good. The bed should be kept
thoroughly hoed and cultivated and
clean of weeds, and the blossoms which
appear during the first season should
be shipped off. as the fruit they would
produce simply results In robbing the
vines of needed vitality. Strawberries
are not hard to raise, while the having
OF an abundance OF them to eat more
than compensates for the time and cx
pense involved.

Cigarette Bill.

o The regular biennial fight over the
bill to prohibit the sale Of cigarettes
in Michigan has been eft" for the pres.
ent session and, as usual, the victory
Is with the opponents of the bill. The
opponents Of the bill contended that
the present law Is ample to protect the
youth of the state and objected to tell
ing grown up men that they should NOT
smoke what they pleased. The law
now on the statute books prohibits the
sale of cigarettes to minors under Il
years Of age. There were, however,
thrty-one members Of the lower house
who believed that the law should he
extended and they voted against the
slaughter Of the bill.

provisions OF the bill for conven-

JAPAN's RICHEST MAN.
Owner of Great Mines Is Now Stu
dent In New York.

From the New York Herald.
Among the gifted students In Columbia
University is Toranosuke Furukawa, a
young Japanese of engaging manners,
with millions of dollars at his command.
When he reaches his majority in Few
days he will become sole possessor, man.
ager and director of the largest mining
i'm the Oriental world Already his friends
are calling him the Rockefeller of Japan.
The young man is finishing a course in
mining and metallurgy. Save for the
color of his skin and the raven blackness
of his hair he could hardly be dislln-
guished from an American student. lie
has the unmistakable Yankee college air,
with a confidence and personality that be-
long particularly to the New YORK type
of university man. His clothes are cut
lust right and any one can see at
glance that he is a man of fashion, with
well-bred self-possession, and is always d
gentleman.
The name Furukawa in Japan has long
been associated with the enterprise acc
wealth OF vast mining industries. lchiocl
Furukawa, the elder, founded the house
of Furukawa. Once he was a bank CLERK,
but his mind scared beyond the mere rou-
tine of daily business. He thought of the
vast treasures known to be in the earth
in Nippon and was convinced that they
should be mined by up to date methods,
So he resigned his position at the bank
and went up into the mountains to the
mineral deposits near the historic town or
Niklso He soon mastered the crude min
ing methods followed for ages according
TO traditional methods, and was sure thai
a fortune could be made by introducing
up to date methods. That was thirty-one
years ago,
