Some CostIV Seeds.

Technical World Magazine-The
other day rascal was found to have
made a small fortune by chopping up
palmleaf fans and selling the stuff at
a dollar packet, containing a pinch
or two of the precious dust-which
was said to be the seed of a rare ex-
otto flower.
He advertised widely, and numbered
professional florists among his vic
tins. True, he disclaimed RESPONSE
bility for the terminating power of
his seed" but this is a common warn
ing even on the wares of reputable
seedsmen, so that the buyers planted,
watered, and watched with pathetic
zeal until at length an angry lady
laid the swindler by the heels.
Now, farm and flower seed of the
highest quality is costly stuff. So
minute is that of the calceolaria, that
the actual cost of producing the finest
strain exceeds ten times the weight
of the seed in purest gold. Mfgnon-
cite seed, too, is by no means cheap,
yet that of the begonia is at least
sixty times dearer; and a liberal al
lowance for a two-dollar packet is
measured in a tiny spoon with an out
side diameter of three-sixteenths of
an inch. And yet in that small spoon
full there will be enough seed 20 pro-
duce more than a hundred stately be-
gonia plants!

Wanted to Know.

1t was at a symphony orchestra con
cert conducted by Walter Damrosch.
The audience was anticipating an eX-
quisite rendition of choice selections
from some famous composers, con
spicuous among whom was Richard
Wagner, the opening number in this
instance being one of his compost
tions. AS was usual the leading per
formers of the orchestra, as they APP
peared upon the platform, were met
with enthusiastic applause, the climax
being reached with the appearance Of
Mr. Damrosch himself.
"When the excitement had some

A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
Conspirators Who Would Create a
War with Japan Murderers.

manufacturers Journal - Why
should the United States even think
of war with Japan? Isn't it about
time for the substantial interests of
the country to ask that question
forcib,y and to unite with the great
body of the people who pay for wars
in blood and money for the suppress
sion of persistent and apparently
heavily financed efforts to bring into
a semblance of life a public opinion
that may countenance such a war?
Aside from insanity, only the mind
Of desperate politics or of cOld-blood-
ed commercialism not blinking at
murder under the guise OF warfare
in furtherance of its ends can con-
template with aught but horror the
possibility of hostiLties between the
two countries whose natural instincts
and circum tanceS should be eHec-
tive for lasting peace. Yet no care
full student of the hypercrftical pre-
Iiminaries, the sanctimonious conduct
and the disgraceful though illuminat-
SSQu6lde
United States against a weaker peo-
ple-that against Spain-can fail to
recognize in the fimsy pretence or
bellicose stuff dished up as news IN
a certain portion of the daily press
the unmistakable intent to use the
American people again as innocent
agents in the commission of a crime
against humanity, to the profit OF
some Iong-headed, constituencies
clique Of conspiratOrs well concealed
even from the politics, journalism,
finance or industry that would will
ingly take its little toll Of b,ood-gold
from the sufferings of two peoples
embroiled in a war unsought by
either.
Who are the criminal conspirators?
The search for them might take in
London, Berlin. New York or Wash
ingTon, and yet be unsuccessful In
fuential newspapers might seek IN
vain for actual place or origin and
the real inspiration Of the war-pr2-
motive matter supplied them, under
various datelines. But such failure
need not make it impossible for the
American people TO block the game
effectually. They can let 1t be
known that the tools OF the conspir-
ators, the men who preach or
prophesy war with Japan, the papers
that publish infammatoTy appeals
under the thin guise Of news, the
individuals who may secure tempo

rary advantage in place or in pelf as
the result Of the war. will be held
strictly responsible for the crime OF
the war, and that that war will be
plain murder. 1t should be made
known thai for those criminal tools
there will be no refuge in brain
storms, psychic epilepsy or sancti-
monious cant. This should be made
known at once. After the unjusti-
fable war has once begun it will be
too late. The criminal instigators
of modern wars know that in the
midst of war their accusers can be
easily discountenanced by being
charged with treason.

AMERICAN MEERSCHAUM.
A Plentiful Deposit is Localized in
New Mexico.

New Mexico.
For more than a century meer-
schaum has been extensively used in
the manufacture Of pipes and cigar
holders, the principal source Of sup,
ply for the material being deposits in
the plains of Asia Minor about f2O
miles southeast of ConstantinOple.
These deposits are said to nave been
worked for other uses for more than
thousand years.
The German name meerschaum
(sea foam is paralleled in French by
ecume de mer. which may be less
beautifully translated "scum of the
sea" The mineralogist will tell you
it is sepiolite, a hydrous silicate Of
magnesia, but this designation will
not diminish the smokers enjoyment
Of his meerschaum pipe.
The ease with which meerschaum
can be carved, its Wilderness, and the
fine polish it takes with wax render
it especially suitable for elaborate
carving and artistic treatment in the
manufacture Of pipes. These pipes
are priced for the rich cream-brown
or brown color that the bowls assume
after being smoked awhile This color
is caused by the permeation through
the meerschaum Of the mixture Of the
nicotine from the tobacco with the
wax used in polishing the pipe. AS
long as there is absorbed wax in the
meerschaum the color of the pipe viii
grow darker and with continued
smoking will become nearly black. It
is therefore necessary to fix the col
or Of the pipe when the proper shade
is reached The method employed to
accomplish this is in part a trade
secret.
The manufacture of meerschaum
into pipes is thriving industry in
parts Of Germany and Russia, employ
ing more than 1900 workmen It is

Lost the Gloves.

The other day Miss Fannie Lomer
ran across the road to see an intimate
friend. As usual with young ladies',
they had good deal to tell one an
other. In the course of the converse
ton Fannie said:
Il usel to think that Gus Simpson
was nice young man, but I just hate

why, what has he done.

or NO to your questions, I'll owe

Then, what?"
well, after the parry ne took me
home, and all the way there he talked
as sweetly as could be about love, and
that men should not live alone, and
all that. And when we got to the
front safe he said: Fannie, | have
waited for this opportunity a long
time-will you marry me? I whis-
perel Yes in low voice; and
thehe her sobs choked her voice.

PURE RELIGION AND UNDEFILED.
BY the Hash Man.


I remarked to myself, in advisory
way,
'You should certainly join the

NegIecting this duty this chance to

Then myself snapped out, Leave me
in the lurch!

Who is steering his course by the
golden rule
AS fair and as square as he CAM"

Example is useful to those who are

Then myself continued, The church,
it would seem.
Resembles a vast abattoir,
Where mortals may easily wash away
sin
BY a plunge in the blood reservoir.
I'VE had some religion (the scriptu-
raj sort),
There is little remaining today.
The blood (and the dolIars) are
flowing so fast
They have washed the religion
away"
Then myself led me off, from the
fountain of blood
To visit some widows we know
Of the world does not spot US or
somebody talk
Perhaps we'll continue to go.)
Should the widows prefer to look
after themselves?
Thus thwarting religious endeavor;
BY avoiding the fountain of dollars

We may keep unspotted forever.

said that the supply of meerschaum
for this industry is becoming low,
and the discovery Of deposits of the
mineral in New Mexico is therefore in
teresting.
Two deposits of merschaum have
been located in the upper ella river
valley, one about % miles east of
north of Silver City, the other at
mine about II miles northwest of
Silver City.
Douglas B. Sterrett, of the United
States geological survey, visited the
mine in October, 1907, and has pre-
pared a report on the deposit there
winch has just been published by the
survey as part of an advance chap
ter or Bulletin No $40. Contributions
10 economic Geology The deposit
lies In the bottom and walls of the
canyon OF Bear Creek, occurring in
VEINS, lenses, seams, and balls in
limestone in both nodular and massive
form. The nodular meerschaum thus
far tested contains iron stains and par
tlcles OF grit and is inferior to the
meerschaum of Asia Minor The more
compact massive material may per
haps be found free from stains and
of better quality.
Mr., Sterrett's report sketches briefly
the geological relations of the depos,
its, describes the mode of occurrence
of the meerschaum, and presents the
results of chemical and physical tests
and analyses of the mineral

may be had on application to the
director of the survey at WASHINGTON.
