Thev wln Pass Amendment.


Now that the Democrats are not only in con-
troll of the State, but have the necessary three
ffths of the Legislature for the adoption Of
a constitutional amendment, it cannot be
doubted that they will avail themselves Of
their power. Indeed, they are bound 10 such
course by the provisions of their State plat
form that Endorsed Acknowledgement while
pronouncing in favor of a more carefully pre-
pared measure than the one that failed to COM
mand the support of Governor Warfield and
many other Democrats. It was intimated
during the campaign that the draft OF an
amendment which would avoid the objections
that caused the Poe amendment to be over
whelmingly rejected by the voters had already
been prepared, 1t Vi i'll be therefore interesting
to see upon what lines this fresh measure is
framed. Equally interesting will it be to watch
the steps by which the dominant party will
seek to lead the people to adopt more favor
able attitude toward this amendment than
they manifested toward the former one. Some
of the prominent Democrats are on record as
saying it will be impossible to frame an
amendment that will stand the test OF the law
and yet accomplish the ends of the party With
out going beyond those ends. So the disfran-
chisement proposition looms up as the meas
ure of chief importance for the action of the
incoming LEGISLATURE.

On November 9th, 1905, be heard that Joseph
H. King and William H. Mum were caught
in q cave.in two miles away. Running all the
way to the spot he found 200 people already
present. He offered to draw lots with any of
them to see who should enter the well. All
refusing he wrote letter to his family with
final instructions regarding his insurance
policies and property, and having given it to
one of the bystanders descended seventy-two
feet into the well to almost certain death. For
two hours he worked with shovel before he
uncovered King, whom he sent to the surface,
and still he kept shoveling until he found the
dead body of Mum. Hethen had only enough
strength left to tie the rope around his body
and was drawn to the surface. Last week the
Carnegie Hero Fund Commission awarded him
a gold medal and $500 in cash. The COM
mission considers this the most extraordinary
act of heroism ever brought to their notice.

What Scientific Cultivation VIII Do.


The Corn Exposition at Chicago has resulted
in the organization of the National Corn
Growers Association, which proposes to en-
courage the scientific cultivation of corn in
various ways, one of which is the holding of
an annual corn exposition. One of the great
problems of agriculture is the educating of our
farmers in improved methods, SO that more
corn will be produced in given area. If an
increase OF single grain of corn on each ear
could be made, the increased total profit to the
country would be 81 $40, 600. Farmers gener-
ally have taken great interest in the informa-
ton furnished by the agricultural schools con-
corning seeds. soils, fertilizers and modes of
cultivation. The aim should be to produce
larger ears, more grains on the ear, more ears
on the stalk and more stalks to the acre. This
means intensive and scientific cultivation, and
when generally mastered and pursued, an
average of one hundred bushels to the acre on
the best corn lands will be the common report
in favorable seasons from all over the corn
belt. In the years to come, as this crop ap.
preciates more and more in value, good
farmer will be known by the corn he raises.
The wealth of the country may be increased
by billions without adding a single acre to the
area that was planted in corn during the last
two years.

Interestinr FACTS About Trees.

Curious twists are observed in many tree
trunks, and the inquiry just begun in Europe
suggests the surprising conclusion that they
are produced by the earth's rotation, like the
twists of storms and the whirls seen in water.
Van den Brock, the Belgian geologist, points
out that if conditions Of growth were the cause
the torsion should follow the SUMS apparent
path. In at least $50 out 900 trees the re-
verse is true, and it may be that the twist is
usually to the left in the northern hemisphere
and to the right-or with the clock-in the
southern hemisphere, like the turn of the
cyclonic storms and water worthless. This
difference is due to the earth's rotation.
lean Brunhes notes that it was shown some
wears ago that the winds due to the earth's mo-
ton blow steadily at season when vegetation
is active and sensitive. and slight continuous
bending and turning then would be likely to
affect the tree permanently.

of organization of counties and districts and it
is preparing to enter Baltimore county with
this object. All the districts will be organized
and then a county convention called at some
convenient point. Organization will be eff.
fected on broad lines. Sunday school work,
embracing its educational features, and
methods of church work on missionary and
other lines will be the chief principles of or.
ganization. Special emphasis will be placed
On the spiritual needs of churches and schools.
This institution believes there ought to be a
united movement against the common foe and
that churches and schools ought to be in more
helpful touch with all great moral movements.
To this end it has introduced into its work a

have every Sunday school in the State organize

The Weather of October.-November
was ushered in with bright skies, warm SUM-
shine and light breezes, which make for
charming Indian Summer, but it cannot hope
to equal or approach the good record made by
the departed October, which has proved re-
markable month for its beauty of climate,
which has been seldom exceled or equaIed in
the last thirty-six years. During the month
there were IS days of bright sunshine and crisp,
invigorating air; eight days were partly cloudy.
The precipitation was very light, aggregating
but 161 inches, which is 1.41 below normal,
and most of this occurred on the 9th and 18th
of the month. The mean temperature
throughout October was So degrees, which was
about four degrees below normal. but the lack
of humidity and the almost constant rays of
the sun took the chill from the air and made
it all the more enjoyable. There are only two
cooler Octobers on record since 1871-in 1876
the thermometer dropped to 81 s degrees and
in 1888 it fell to 52.7. On the other hand,
since 1871 there have only been two Octobers
with a greater number of clear days, and two
with the same number QS) of clear days. The
date of the first killing frost was the 22d, which
is about usual when the lowest temperature
of 35 degrees was recorded The highest tenn
perature reached during the month was 70 de-
grees, on the Sd.

Good Days for Farmers.

The last ten years has been the golden age OF
American Agriculture. More advance has
been made than in any twenty or thirty years
in the nations history. Land has increased
enormously in value since 1885, and Is des-
tined to go higher in the farming sections.
Prices for products have been good all the time
and are better now than ever. II the impor-
tapce of agriculture and the farmer increases
at the same rate in the furture-and 1t is SIRE
to do so-the agricultural life will be consid'
cred the ideal one, and to own good farm the
very acme of felicity.

Oil Well Pays Preachers Salary.
Lima (Ohiol DISPATCH.

11s"s~ N0ssvoI 10Vo1''7Vo'7s
A few years ago the Rev. George Wood
Anderson organized the Epworth Episcopal
Church, and later secured sufficient funds to
erect q modern stone structure. Knowing
there was oil about Lima, he conceived the
idea of boring well in the church's back lot.
A subscription paper was passed, $1,000 was
pledged to make up losses il they came, and
the Rev. Mr.. Anderson started his oil well. 1t
proved small type gusher, and ever since the
oil we'll, operated daily by gas engine, which
also operates the church heating and lighting
plant, has been pouring out sufficient crude
oil to not only pay the minister's salary and
all other church expenses, but 10 make up a
bank account big enough to build the church
over again.
