whv Not Applesl

That offer Of $500 an acre from a Wis
cousin man for a Charlotte apple orchard
may drive an idea OF two into The heads
Of some Of the men who have been put
ting their lifelong energies into the pro
duction Of butter and cheese The dairy
products Of Vermont are excelled By no
other state ia the Union. but because Of
the long winter months during which
cattle must be fed and housed the pro.
cess of manufacture il not only ardnous
but the profits are cofrespondngly small.
Dairyiug necessarily requires farms Of
considerable area 70 supply both pasiur.
age and winter fodder, while the orchard
ist needs but little land other than that
upon which his trees are growing.
Up ard down the entire Pacific coast
within the boundaries Of the United
States men are making comfortable liv-
ings from orchard ranches Of 20 acres
each and less. Word comes from Char
lotte than the 50.aere Holmes ofchard
win produce this year at the lowest esti.
mate 100 barrels Of apples an acre and
that the average price per barrel viii be
49, This would make the returns from
each acre $500, No estimate has been
published d the expense Of picking
packing and shipping, but It is safe to
say that there are but few farms in
the state making gross return of $500
an acre. AT these figures the man with
the 20 acres Of apples in Vermont would
be doing as well as tho rancher with
the same amount Of land on the Pacific
coast. And the mystery is why has

Fires Started by Moths.

Moths and flames are universally
connected, yet few people suspect
that danger could arise therefrom.
The insects are of such frail struc-
ture that generally they get Destroy
ed before it is possible for them
to infict injury, and it is hardly
creditable that the wings would ig-
mite and retain the flames long
enough to enable the moth to fly to
its surroundings.
That, however, has occurred. The
moth was a very large one and its
wings must have been very dry, so
that when it flOundeTed through the
fame it set fire to one wing and
darted out to a curtain nearby which
at once fiared up. 1t is possible that
many summer evening fires in the
country could be attributed to
source of this kind. It is notorious
that mysterious fires often arise at
sunset in the hot months.-StrAAA

SmokeIess Coal.

A London inventor claims to have
discovered & process for producing
Bmokeless coal, apparently by distil-
lation OF coal at a low temperature.
This, after distillation, is said to de-
posit a very brilliant substance, the
heating properties OF which are far
greater than those of the original
coal, and which is absolutely free
from smoke and dirt. The inventor
contends that efforts to overcome the
smoke plague have hitherto been un-
successful because they have been
made in the wrong direction, and
that by the extraction Of the smoke
producing material in coal before be-
ing burned, he has been successful
in producing q smokelesg coal.

taught tbs continuity and relation Of
events, an awakened interest in the
daily happenings will arouse a de-
