there is the priceless boonl Knowing

by something. then pour some red ink
on your handkerchief, tell teacher you

That's the way usually did II. No

PSYCHIC FORCES.
Their Existence Proved, Yet Scientists
Cannot Grasp Them.

l have seen enough to make me be-
lieve in Zollner's fourth dimension,
but don't. My mind is so constructed
that such wonders as we meet in
seances produce very little effect on
me. They are as normal to me now
as the popping Of corn or the roasting
of potatoes. But as for belief-well,
that is not a matter of the wiD but of
evidence, and the evidence is not yet
sufficient TO bring me to any definite
conclusion. In fact, in the broad day
and especially the second day after l
have been through one Of these ex-
periences l begin to dOGbt my senses.
Richet speaks of this curious recession
of belief and admits his own inability
to retain the conviction that at the mo-
ment of the phenomenon was complete.
NO sooner is the sitting over than my
doubts come swarming back upon me-"
he avs. "The real world which sur
rounds us, with its prejudices, its
scheme of habitual opinions, holds us
in so strong a grasp that we can
scarcely free ourselves completely.
Certainty does not follow on demon

Maxwell says: 81 believe in these
phenomena, but / see no need to at
tribute them to any supernatural inter
vention. / am inclined to think they
are produced by some force within our
selves" Just what ne means by that
l can't precisely explain. It's harder
to understand than the spirit hypoth-
esis. He goes on to say that, while he
is certain that we are in the presence
Of an unknown force, he is convinced
that the phenomena will ultimately DE

not show particle Of remorse or fear.
He gathered up the booty and carried
II to his house, where he buried part or
it In the garden. He buried Clark's
body and heaped stones over the grave.
In the afternoon he went for House
man and threatened him if he disclosed
the murder and made him believe he
was equally guilty in law.
Clark's disappearance was not no
ticed for a day or two. Then the peo-
pie from whom he had borrowed
1ewelry and plate began to make in
quiries. Suspicion was directed TO
Aram in some way. The village au-
thorities searchei his house and found
bundle containing battered plate and
clothing stained with blood. Notwith-
standing this, no action seems to have
been taken by the authorities, nor was
it suspected that Clark had been MUIR
dered. The neighbors began to jeer at
the learned schoolmaster, however, and
Aram suddenly left his wife and chill
dren and walked to London.
For fourteen years his family heard
nothing of him. He spent the greater
part of the time wandering about from
place TO place, at last finding a situa-
ton as usher In school at Lynn. In
June, IT'S. a horse dealer who had
known him In Knaresborough met him
in the Lynn market. Aram denied his
identity. By a singular. coincidence,
almost the day the horse dealer accost-
ed the now gray haired schoolteacher,

53,000,000 pounds of Egyptian cotton annually. In 1907 the direct imports from Egypt were valued at $16,OOO,OOO, and the average price per pound paid in Boston for Egyptian cotton was about p cents.
 Nit Aff Egyptian cotton yielded at Yuma in 1907 at the rate of $500 pounds of seed cotton to the acre. The percentage of lint being about 90, this gives yield of two American bales, which practically equalled that of any Upland variety grown in the same field.
 This yield was obtained with the rows 6 feet apart and the plants 8 feet apart in the rows, while in Egypt the rows average 32 inches apart and the hills 16 inches apart, with two plants in each hill Hence in Egypt there are ordinarily ten times as many plants to the acre as in the expert ments at Yuma As acclimatization in the Southwest progresses, the plants will probably become smaller and the distance for planting can be decreased.
 The high fall temperatures of the Colorado River region and the indeter- minate growth of Egyptian cotton plants cause the ripening of the fiber to be continued during several months. Three or four pickings are necessary to harvest the bulk of the crop.
 The small size of the bolls of Egyp- tian varieties and the vigorous growth of the plants make picking slower thau with large-bolled Upland varieties. To gather 100 pounds of Egyptian seed cotton requires one and one-half times as long as to gather the same quantity from big-bolled Upland varieties.
 The greater cost of picking is rela- lively unimportant, however in view of the much higher price brought by Egyptian cotton That of the grade grown at Yuma in 1907 should be worth more than b times as much as Middling Upland cotton. The expense of all other cultural processes is the same for both types of cotton.

EXPERIMENTS PROVE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS AND SOIL OF I'M PERIAL VALLEY ADAPTED
 TO CROP.
PLANT BUREAUS BULLETIN
Farmers Warned Against Introducing Seed From Southern Cotton Belt or Using Directly Imported Egyptian seed-Great Industry May be Built up Here.

The Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin on Egyptian cotton in the United States, in which the results of experiments are given in detail. The report says:
 "The climatic conditions of the Colo rado River region in southern Arizona and southeastern California are un- rivaled from the standpoint of cotton growing. At least 600,000 acres of ex- cellent land are or soon will be under ditch in the Imperial, Yuma, Salt and Gila Valleys. One-fifth of this acreage could produce the average amount of Egyptian cotton that is annually i'm ported into the United States The soils are for the most part very fertile and an abundant and permanent sup ply of water for irrigation is at hand. It has been demonstrated that yields of one to two bales per acre are pos sible in this region and the fiber pro- duced has been pronounced by experts as equal to the better grades imported from Egypt
 Since there is every indication that Egyptian varieties offer the best pros pect of building up a profitable and lasting cotton industry in the irrigated valleys of the Southwest, planters in that region are urged to consider the question carefully before committing Ehemselves to growing Upland yarie- Mes The introduction of the latter would seriously interfere with keeping the Egyptian varieties up to the high standard which has been attained, since a certain amount of crossing would inevitably take place. More over, Indians and other pickers, should they become accustomed to the large boiled Upland varieties, would be more reluctant to pick the small Egyptian bolls than if they were familiar only with the latter. Finally, there would be danger of introducing with the seed of Upland varieties some of the dis eases and insect enemies that ravage this crop in the Southern States, but have not yet appeared in the isolated valleys of the Southwest.
 "The introduction of the cotton boil weeyil would be ruinOus to the indus try at the very outset. Immunity from this destructive insect can be insured only by a rigorous inspection of all cot ton seed introduced from the weeyilin- Tested district, which now includes practically the whole of Texas, as well as parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma The safest plan would be to admit 10 seed from other cotton. growing districts that has not been thoroughly fumigated.
 Those who contemplate expert monting with Egyptian varieties of cotton should avoid the use of direct Iy imported seed, which is likely to give disappointing results during the first two or three years it is grown in the United States and hence to pre- iudice the grower against this type of cotton, Thoroughly acclimatized seed is under all circumstances to be pre- ferred,"
 During the past ten years the United States has imported on the average
