ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Hell Gate Brewery" is the title of a
big advertisement in one of the New
York papers. That's what Sam Jones
would have called ''the real thing.
The Pennsylvania Railway Company
and the Adams Express have spent
between them ESQ, 900 in hunting the
man who stole $40 of pennies from a
train some time ago. So far the hunt
has been fruitless.
Do not lay your watch on q cold
marble slab. The sudden cooling may
cause the spring to break. Besides
which the average watch will keep
steadier time if kept in the usual upright
position. The pinions of watch are
conical, and when the watch is laid fat
the pinIons, if at all worn. will drop
deeper into the pinion holes and this
will slightly retard its running.
Careful experiments demonstrate that
a gallon of denatured alcohol will de-
velop as much power in motor as the
same quantity of gasoline. and has the
advantage Of being smokeless, is with
out odOr. and cannot explode. The cost
however is too great for commercial
uses. as at so cents gallon, the retail
price, as against that of gasoline. makes
it very expensive. To those who are
afraid Of gasoline it is a safe and good
substitute. One life lost from gaso-
line explosion is worth more than all
the cost of the more expensive fuel in
all time.

IRvINGToN. VIRGINIA. FRIDAY NOVEMBER 26, 1909.

OF later, and it is this combination
which produces the heat. Shivering in
cold weather is merely an automatic
arrangement by which the body sup
plies itself with heat by combustion in
the muscle. Normally with human be-
ings and all warm-b -blooded animals the
temperature of the body is kept auto
maticallyat certain constant level fav-
orable to the chemistry of life process
ces, and, In fact, is really due to them.
However, at times, on account of ex-
posure of limb or finger to a very
low temperature, this automatic heat
regulation fails. Then we are all
familiar with the resulting numbness
and inability to contract the muscles,
which are in reality due to the impos-
sibility Of the ordinary muscular chemi-
cal reactions occurring at this tempera-
ture.

POSITION ON STATEWIDE.

Several brethren have inquired
whether the Religious Herald favors
the precipitation of Statewide cleo
tion on the question of temperance at
this time. Speaking for ourselves
entirely, We venture to say that the
method of local option, with counties
and towns and cities as the units, COM
mends itself to our judgment as the
most effective way of dealing with the
saloon. We have repeatedly said in
these columns, and we are glad to say
it again, that in the main the manage
ment of the Anti-Saloon cause in this
State has been sane and tremendously
efficient. We ourselves are not greatly
troubled by the fact that in few COM
munities the friends of the liquor traf-
fic have recently carried these elections
by very narrow majorities, and in one
Of the most important of these COM
munities by what seems to have been
notorious rascality. These are mere Incl
dents, mere eddies in the current, which
move on. gathering momentum all the
while. When everything is going pref
ty well, when we are adding new terri
tory and establishing ourselves MOI e
firmly in territory already gained we
are 10th to experiment with the State
wide proposition. 1t is certainly true
that laws for the suppression of the
liquor traffic Tor similar legislation)
must have behind them a robust and ag-
gressive public sentiment-that is they
must have it in the locality where the
law is to be enforced. The method of
local option discovers for us at once
whether such sentiment is in the To-
cality.
At the same time we have no hesita-
tion in saying what we suppose there is
hardly any necessity Of saying-that if
the Statewide issue is made, the Re-
ligious Herald could not take but one
position on that question. 1t would, Of
course. favor the passage of the law, il
once it is framed up and submitted to
the people. 1t is not a question OF
principle at all as to which method
shall prevail. but question of expedi-
ency, and such questions have to be de-
termined by the sentiment of the ma
jority. Religious Herald (Baptist).

4 Result That Is Produced by the Light
From the Earth.
Many people have wondered why the
part OF the moon that receives no sun
tight is often visible to us, the term
being the "old moon In the young
moons arms" The dark part Is easily
seen as copper colored globe repos-
Ing in the bright crescent. This that
we see Is nothing more or less than
the earth shine on the moon. We ap-
pear the same way to the moon when
we are In that phase, and our dark
part Is where the moonshine appears
and the bright part OF the sunshine.
The reason the copper color appears
Is because light has to traverse the
atmosphere of the earth three times
once on coming from the sun to the
earth. once when reflected to the
moon and again on being reflected
back to us. Our atmosphere possesses
the peculiar property Of absorbing the
blue rays OF this white light and al
lowing only the red and orange to 20
through. thus causing the appearance
Of copper color by the triple absorp-
tion.
An odd thing connected with this
phenomenon, though having nothing
to do with IL, is-this: That part OF the
moon which appears dark to US Is the
same part OF the earth that appears
light TO the moon at any specified time,
and that part OF the moon which np-
pears bright to us corresponds to the
portion OF the earth appearing dark to
the moon.
or course 1t is well known that the
moon gives out no light whatever
Itself, the moonshine being merely the
light of the sun on the moon reflected
to us. The same applies with the
earth In its shine on the moon. save
that we do give out glows, no doubt,
around great cities at night, on ac-
count OF the enormous number Of
lights. One thing, however. In which
moonshine excels the earth shine Is its
constant character. Where the earth
possesses varying clouds the old moon
never has any at all.-St. Louis Re
public
Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1909-11-26
DOES NOT APPLY TO DONKEYs.

The systematic examination of more
than 10000 pairs of human ears in Eng
land and France has proved that the
ear continues to grow in the latter de-
eades of life; in fact, it appears never
to stop growing until death: If one
will take the trouble to look around in
any assemblage of people, as at church.
he will discover that the old folks have
ears considerably larger than those of
the middle aged. A woman who at 20
has small shell-like ears will be very apt
to possess medium ears at 40 years and
large ears at so.

CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS.

1t would seem strange if, in our day,
we should be obliged to turn to our
Jewish citizenship for revival of civic
righteousness, and yet the following ad-
dress from Rabbi Wise, leading man
among the Jews of New York city, in
dicates that among that people is aris-
ing movement for reform in our
morals. Rabbi Wise said in part:
THE problem of the nation today is
the problem of civic duties, a problem
of which the solution is to be found in a
rebirth of what Philip Brooks has cal
led spiritual patriotism or civic reli-
gion.
''The most deadly enemy of the re-
public who must be met and overcome
is the city CRATER the municipal cor
ruptiouist. If we must have bigger
navy and bigger army. these ought to
be employed not against imaginary foes
across the seas, but against those real
enemies of the republic who are undo
ing the work of the fathers and blight
ing the hopes of democracy by demor-
alizing and degrading the civil life of
the nation.
'The power Of the Tammany Halls
Of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and
San Francisco is made possible by the
corrupt leadership of few, and inert
acquisitions of many. The difference be-
tween most political corruptionists and
the average political purist is that the
former are dead in earnest and the lat
ter are in earnest dead.
'"The leader of the cause of civic re-
formation. like the churches, spend too
much time and strength in fighting
each other. instead of waging united
warfare upon the common enemy"

SOME NOTES
OF Interest to Farmers and stock
and Fruit Growers.

NO DESERTED FARMS IN GERMANY.
The policy of conservation that made
German foresty such a success is ap-
piled also to agriculture. Germany is
not at all land flowing with milk and
honey. In enormous parts of northern
Germany the soil is decidedly poor.
With that of the United States it can
not compare at all. But proper care
did wonders. While the methods of
farming used by many Americans have
resulted in the utter decline of good
land in comparatively short time, the
farm-lands of Germany, even though
they have been under cultivation for
centuries, bring forth rich crops year
in and year out.
Mr.. James j. Hill. one of the most
noted experts on land affairs, at the
famous Governors Conference, made
the remarkable statement that the
soil of America, once the envy of every
other country. gave, during the ten
years beginning with 1896 an average
yield of 1876 bushels of wheat per acre,
while Germany produced ZIG. For the
same decade the yield of oats was in
America less then 80 bushels, Germany
46. For barley the figures were 25
against SO, and fo- rye 15.4 against "a.
Deserted farms, which. as result Of
soil exhaustion, can be found all over
the eastern half of the United States,
are absolutely unknown in Germany. -

EFFECT OF THE ROTATION OF CROPS ON
THE COMPOSITION OF SOIL.
Over the Potomac river, opposite the
Washington Monument. on the Virginia
shore and below the bluff on which
stands Arlington Cemetery, the nations
graveyard, is portion of the vast es-
tate of General Lee, now used by the
Department of Agriculture for expert
mental purposes.
A considerable area of the Arlington
farm is used by the Bureau of Soils and
devoted to crop rotation for the pur-
pose Of learning the effect of rotation on
the production of the soil. Over eighty
distinct experimental areas are in
volved in this work.
1t is the general impression through.
out the farming sections that rotation
of crops gives the soil rest-that is
