Figures of Williams's Apprais-

KINGSTON, y Y. March 2G.-The re-
port OF the appraisers appointed by
uperintendent OF Banks Clark Williams
to apraise the assets OF the Borough
Bank. OF Brook IN, which Is now in the
hands OF ysaac y. Cox. OF Ellenvile,
and Henry a. Powell OF Brooklyn, as
contemporary receivers, as beer filed
here by upt. Williams.
The book value OF the assets is
shown to be AS53,sF+i. and their ap-
praised value given as S4."ye l75 I. a
net loss OF $55,G743s. There is differ
ence between these values on the first

bringing the total appraised value to
the figure stated.
The restitution fund Is composed OF
u kems uue to teh operations OF Will
Cow. Howard Maxwell, A. d. Camp
bell. John 8. jenkins, r. W. Half and
Frank w. Doolittie. who decided or as
signed to the Borough Bank properties
and securities amounting to Sl,02,, ,SH74
against which their operations have
been charged. The appraisers consider
they aev placed conservative estimates
on this property Ind therefore appraise
the Items due the Borough Bank by
reason Of operations of Cow. Maxwell
and others at full value.
Accompanying the report is letter to
6upt. Williams from Henry a, Powell,
one of the receivers, who certiiies that
the appraisal is substantially correct !;
that while In some instances he will np-
praise higher and in some instances
lower than Supt. Williams appraisers,
there will be no substantial difference
except that his total appraisal will prob
ably be slightly in excess of theirs. He
accepts tneir appraisal OF the restitution
collateral on the ground that they have
oughness and their appraisal Is fairy
conservative.

Effects of Cigarette SIN okinq.

| DIR. Marden, in Success, has this to
say to the boy beginning the use of the
cigarette: The whole tendency of the
cigarette nicotine poison In the youth
is to arrest development. 1t is fatal
to all normal functions. 1t blights and
blasts both health and morals. It not
only ruins the faculties, but it unbal-
ances the mind, as well. Many of the
most pitiful cases of insanity in our
asyiums are cigarette fends. Itcreates
abnormal appetites, strange longings,
underlined desires, discomfort uneasi
ness, nervousness, irritability, and, in
many, an almost irresista ble inclina-
tion to crime. In fact, the moral de-
pravitY which follows the cigarette
habit is something frightful-lyiug,
cheating, impurity, loss of moral cour-
age and manhood, complete dropping
of llfe's standards all along the line,
are lte general results.''
Magistrate Crane, of the New York
City, says: "Ninety-nine out of hum
dred boys between the ages of ten and
seventeen years who come before me
charged with crime have their fiugers
disfgured by yellow cigarette stains.
but it is my opinion that cigarettes
| will do more than liquor to ruin boys.
When you have arraigned before you
boys who are hopelessly deaf through
the excessive use OF cigarettes, boys
who have stolen their sister g earnings,
boys who absolutely refuse to worF,
who do nothing but gamble and steal,
you can not help seeing that there is
| some direct cause, and great deal Ct
this boyhOod crime Is, to my mind
easily traced to the deadly cigarette.
There Is something in the poison of the
cigarette that seems to get into the
system of the boy and to destroy all
his moral fiber"
Cigarette smoking is no longer sim.
| ply a moral question. The great bus
iness world has taken it up as a deadly
enemy to advancement and achieve
ment, and many leading business firms,
all over the country, have put the
cigarette on the prohibition list. Any
thing which bsnumbs the senses, dead
ems the sensibilities, and dulls the
mental faculties is deadly enemy.

YEAST IS A PLANT.
BUT 1T CAN BE SEEN AS SUCH ONLY
WITH THE MICROSCOPE

Yeast is a small plant which can be
seen only with the aid of the microscope,
says Good Health. There are two
varieties, wild and cultivated, for these
tiny plants can be improved through
cultivation, as larger plants can be.
Firms which make yeast for the
market must grow these plants quite
as carefully as the florist grows bis
flowers. Care must be taken that they
do not become mixed with other varie-
ties, therefore destroying the culture.
In some laboratories where yeast is
grown two separate buildings are kept
for this purpose. These are both care.
fully disinfected, and if it is found that
the yeast becomes contaminated in
one building the culture is started
anew and the other building previously
disinfected before moving into it.
This plant, like bacteria, requires
warmth, moisture and food. The
materials out Of which the bread is
made should always be warmed, and
the dough should always be kept in a
warm place. The temperature most
favorable is about that of the body, a
little less than 100 degrees.
There is always considerable mois-
ture in bread and plenty of food for
the plant. The food which it req uires
is sugar. This it obtains from the
wheat. there being some sugar in the
-four. and more sugar is also formed
from the starch.
AS the yeast plants feed upon sugar
they break 1t down into two substances
alcohol and a gas known as carbon
diOxide or carbonlc acid gas. As the
gas is formed it is held by the gluten,
which is very elastic subtance. When
the bread is put into the oven the heat
expands the tiny bubbles of gas. cans
ing the bread to rise or to become
much lighter. Tne alcohol formed,
being volatile product, passes off
into the baking.

SOME MYSTERIES
OF The HEAVENS.
COMETS ONE OF THE UNsoLvED PROB
LENS OF ASTRONOMY.

COMETS ONE OF THE UNsoLvED PROB
LENS OF ASTRONOMY.
A comet is distinguished usually by
a nucleus, by an envelope called the
coma, which surrounds the nucleus.
and, last, by it's luminous tail stream.
ing behind the nucleus for perhaps a
hundred million miles or more as the
comet swims toward the sun. Occupy
ing volume thousands of times great
er than the sun, writes Waldemar
Kaempfert in the Cosmopolitan, the
question naturally arises. how can a
body with SO vast an appendage sweep
through the solar system without de-
ranging every planet Fortunately for
the preservation of the solar system a
comet, so far from being compact
| mass, is often transparent. Stars have
been distinctly seen without percepti
BILE diminutiOn of brightness, not only
through the tail, but even through the
nucleus.
In structure the tail is gossamer of
molecules 80 ghostly that in comp ri
son the. .fiImiest of bridal wells is coarse
ly dense and the thinnest haze that
hovers on the horizon is an impenetra-
BILE blanket. Indeed, the earth's at
mosphere on the clearest day is far
denser. Hundreds of cubic miles of a
comet 8 tail are probably outweighed
by jarfnl of air. A plume of such
fairy llghtness can hardly be supposed
to remain permanent, and 80 it is not
astonishing to find that during it's
swift journey around the sun com.
cts outlines are incessantly changing.
An interval of few days, or perhaps
of few hours, may work wonders in
its diaphonous texture. Its path is
its only permanent characteristic, in
deed, the only characteristic by which
it can be surely identified if it ever re-
turns.
From all the known facts, astrono
mers have concluded that the nucleus
OF comet is merely mass of meteOrs.
easily dispersed into small groups, or
distributed gradually along the orbit,
until eventually the comet is complete
ly disintegrated and extinguished. As
Economical history offers considerable
evidence in support of this hypothesis.
Biela g comet, discovered in 1925 and
carefully observed On each return,
split into two part and reappeared as
a curious double comet in 1946. When
it revisited the earth in 1852 the two
parts had drifted away from each
other and were separated about one
million miles. Since then the comet
has disappeared.
Every six and a half years the earth
crosses the track of that lost comet.
Meteoric showers then rain upon us.
In these meteOrs we see all that is now
left of BieIa's comet. Similarly the
great comet of 1882 literally lost its
head by breaking into four portions.
each of which will some day form a
separate comet.
Another link in this chain of testi-
mony is presented by the chemical
composition of meteorites which have
found their way to the earth, com
position which agrees exactly with that
of comet.
