mo. The record is held by Cour-
tice Pounds. Pounds sang three hun
dred and sixteen notes without respir-
alton in 1898. The record previous to
that was held by Farinelli, with three
hundred notes. Norman Salmond has
sung two hundred and eighty-seven
notes in this way. The average man
could hardly sing fifty notes without
breathing; to the singer two hundred
would be nothing-Philadelphia Bulle.

a very striking correspondence between
many Of the spectral lines in the light
Of that star and those observed in spots
on the sun. The conclusion seems to
be unavoidable, says Mr.. Adams, that
the physical conditions existing in sun
spots and In the atmosphere of Arc
turus are nearly identical. A similar
study of the spectrum of the bright
star Betelgeuse, or Alpha Orionis,
shows that sun-spot lines are also
present there, but even more intense
than in Arcturus. 1t Is inferred that
Arcturus Is probably cooler than the
sun, and Betelgeuse cooler than Arc
turus.
An explanation of curious optical
phenomenon sometimes witnessed on
frosty nights, which is called the "pseu-
do-aurora," Is offered by an official of
the weather bureau. The phenomenon
takes the form of beautiful columns of
silvery light standing over electric arc
lamps and other bright lights and
sometimes appearing almost to reach
the zenith. 1t Is said that sometimes
the evening star has a bright shaft be-
low as well as above, while the rising
moon stands in broad column of light.
These appearances are due to floating
frost crystals, which keep their reflect
ing faces horizontal. On examination
1t has been found that the crystals con.
cerned in the exhibition were thin, six.
sided plates of ice, never more than
one milllmeter in diameter. When the
wind blows these little plates were up
set, and the columns Of light caused by
the reflection from their surfaces dis
appear.

ART OF CoRN-CAKE MAKING.

Meal Should BE Ground in OId-Fash.
iOned Way.
The best cornmeal in the world Is
made in Tennessee-though the output
Is limited and not much of it reaches
the market where urbanites dwell. says
the Nashville American. The steam
buhr-stone has driven the water mill
almost into desuetude, only to be in
turn crowded out by the modern roller
mill. The ancient water mill still lin
gers in remote sections and mountain
Businesses where clear waters flow
through pebbly channels in sylvan
shades. More than one of these ideal
mills may be found on Fighting creek,
in Sewer County, under the shadows of
the Big Smoky, and near unto Sugar
land region, where the untaxed juice Of
the corn flows from modest and retir
ing stills. There are many such mills
In the Unaka region and In various
sections Of middle Tennessee, where
the whitening blight of modern civiliza-
ton, with its canned goods and pack
lng-house meats, has not yet penetrat-
ed, and where one may
Listen to the water mill
Through the livelong day,
While the clicking of its wheel
Wears the weary hours away.
But they don't bring the meal to
town. The town-raised persons taste
is too vitiatcd to appreciate 1t. When
he eats corn bread at all with his oleo-
margarine or canned soup he wants
the roller-mill product, which suggest
ed the idea of sawdust breakfast food
to a Battle Creek Yankee. The right
sort Of corn bread Is made from meal
from corn that has been well dried, the
little end Of the ear shelled off for the
chickens or pigs, the rotten grains care
fully eliminated and the corn run
through fanmill. Before being made
into bread the meal is sifted through
wire sieve or sitter, the meshes Of
which are not too fine. Then If good
bread is not produced it is the fault of
the cook. The use Of sugar in making
any form Of corn bread should be made
felony. There is as much difference
between bread from properly ground
meal and the common meal and the
common meal of commerce as there is
between Smithfeld ham and pack
ing-house ham.

TRUST IN TIMBER LANDS.
One Hundred Corporations Control
Three-quarters of 1t at Present.

ohC
Three-quarters of 1t at Present.
A writer who claims to be an attor-
ney has expressed his belief that 100
individuals and corporations own or
control rs per cent of the timber land
not still held by the government or at
tached to farms" He declares that
this body Is subdivided on a basis of
species, as the White Pine Association
and the like, and that these associa-
tions are "the claws of the invisible
trust" This is as it may be and Mr..
Kittredge purposes to find out about 1t.
Trust or no trust, the price Of lum-
Der has increased enormously within
the last few years. There are two
known factors in the increase. Mr..
Xittredge suspects third and unknown
influence. One of the known factors
appears In the sweeping devastation Of
our forest areas without renewal of
forest growth by new paintings. Here
we find the simple proposition of in
creasing demand. reduced supply and
COuStQutHl tnuullCeLlellI VI value. llIu-
Der areas regarded as almost valueless
a decade ago are bringing farm land
prices to-day strictly on basis of mar
ket values. This accounts for a part
of the present cost of lumber in com
parison with its cost a few years ago.
The other known factor is labor. A
tree in the forest may be said to have
no money value. 1t represents dollars
with the first stroke Of the woodman's
ak, that being the first step in its con-
version into commercial commodity.
Behind that first ak there stand other
axes, saws, peaveys, cant hooks, trans
portation and many and various forms
Of handling. Each of these represents
human labor and pay roll which is
bigger now than 1t used to be in daily
wage rate as we'll as in total volume.
From tree to log, from log to board or
joist or plank and from them to bridge
or floor or sash or toothpick, increased
wage increases the cost to the final
owner.-New York Sun.

At the International Conference on
Scientific Aeronautics, held recently in
Milan, Mons. Teisserenc de Bort pre-
sented some interesting results of the
expedition to the equatorial regions Of
the Atlantic organized by himself and
Lawrence Rotch. Contrary to expec-
tatiOn, he said, they had found far
lower temperatures In the upper air
above the equator than at correspond
ing elevations in temperate latitudes.
At the equator the temperature goes on
decreasing up to the greatest elevations
attained by kites and balloons. At the
height Of eight to eight and one-half
miles temperatures were recorded as
low as minus so degrees Centigrade, or
112 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.
The Heroult electric process for the
production of steel is now in practical
operation at Remscheid Haston in Ger
many, and 1t Is reported that the steel
produced Is much superior in many
ways to that made by older methods.
Steel of great purity and homogeneous
quality is made from ordinary scrap
iron rubbish, melted, and then subject
ed to the action of an electric oven, In
which the necessary carbon, manga
nese, nickel and other substances re-
quired to produce steel of various quail
tiles are added to the liquid metal. The
oven has capacity of from one and
One-half to two tons, and is heated by
a current of 100 volts. The new steel
is said to be stronger and more re-
slstant to wear and tear than the old
fashioned crucible steel.
The Petit Parisien states that NJ

How CoIors Affect Mentality.

There are good and evil effects even
in color, not only in the inartistic ar
rangement Of them to the trained eye
of an artist, but in plain everyday red
and blue and green, to say nothing Of
others.
According to Medical Talk for the
Home, If a person were confined in a
room with purple walls, with no color
but purple around him, by the end Of a
month he would be a raving madman.
Scarlet has even worse effects. Blue is
very depressing; hence "the blues. "
Green is quite soothing, and yellow
also has good effects on the vision and
spirits of most people.

A Kiss that Brought Death.

Courtship in Spain is regulated by

beautiful young girl Of 20 committed
