To the Editor.
Dear Sir,
I came to this country from the
State of Wisconsin three years ago,
and must say that am greatly pleased
with the outlook in this western coun-
try. For my own part l am entirely
satisfied with the progress 1 have
made since coming here. l have raised
excellent crops of grain of all varie-
ties. Last season my wheat averaged
% bushels of wheat to the acre, oats
60 and barley 40.
We had splendid garden this year,
ripening successfully tomatoes, musk
melons, water melons, sweet corn and
kindred sorts.
The country is well adapted to
wheat growing and mixed farming, and
to my mind it is the best country I'M
der the sun for man with family
and small means, as it is possible for
man to commence farming opera
lions with much less capital than is
required in the older settled countries.
The climate is all that could be de-
sired, being very healthy and invigor-
ating.
My wife came out about six months
ago, and although inclined to be deli
cate in the old home, she has enjoyed
the best of health since coming here.
In short, 1 am more than satisfied
with the land of my adoption, and I
am also satisfied with the laws of the
| country.
Yours very truly,

An approximation of the money

is an amount equal to one-fifth the
value Of all coal mined last year, to
one-fourth the surplus in the national

last fiscal year, and almost equal to
the net earnings of these banks. It
is nearly twice enough to cover the
bonded debt of all the New England
states combined.

In the aggregate an enormous amount
of money, in the majoritss- of cases
for food that neither nourishes nor

Business women in particular and
brain workers especially among them
ought to know food values and plan
their meals accordingly. They have
not yet discovered that lettuce is
twice as cooling as ice cream, and
that mince-pie is not a dish for early
summer.
1t is not necessary to emulate the
steak, fried potatoes and coffee of
the average man. In fact, such a
diet would disagree with most per-
sons if partaken of to any great ex-
tent.

Mysterious Fire In Tree.

New York had a mysterious fire
the other day. which attracted the
attention Of a multitude of people,
and for a short time blocked travel
and traffic on Broadway. An old
linden tree near the Rector Street
side of Trinity Churchyard began to
emit volumes of smoke. and in a
minute more a tongue of fame shot
up out of the hollow trunk and ig-
nited the scant folige and old twigs.
What started the tree to blaze up
is a matter of guess-work, but no
doubt It was caused by spontaneous
combustion. The old tree, or what
is left OF the original trunk, is only
IL feet high, and long ago all else
but the trunk and what remains OF
the old roots under the ground have

The lightning Rod.

The lightning rod was invented
by Benjamin Franklin in 1852. to
arrest the electricity of the thun-

discovery reached Rabbi Saul Katie
neIlenbogen, of wilma. he said that
the theory was not new. because it
was already known in Talmudic
times, and he showed a passage in
the Tosefta (third century, where it
says that ION Sabbath IL is permit

Increased Coal Production.

Statistics compiled for the Geolog-
ical Survey by Edward w. Parker,
coal mining expert of the survey,
show a remarkable increase in the
total production of coal in the United
States during 1906 over the pre-
ceding year.
The production in 1905 was 414.-
039,581 short tons of 1000 pounds,
valued at $512.610,744. In 1905
the output amounted to 392,919,341
tons, valued at $476,756.963 The
increase in quantity was per cent,
and in value per cent.
West Virginia supplanted Illinois
.as the State second to Pennsylvania
in coal production, attributed chiefly
to the almost complete suspension
of mining in Illinois during all of
April and a part of May, when the
