JUST TIME.
The Wonderful Part It Plays In the
Earth's History.

EaHth'S f1l6toTy'
Truly It is hard for us TO reallze
what part time has played III the
earth's history-just time, duration-so
slowly, oh. so slowly, have the great
changes been brought about Ihe
turning Of mud and silt into rock III
the bottom Of the old seas seems u
have been merely a question or tlme'
Mud does not become rock In man
time nor vegetable matter become coal
These processes are too slow for u.s.
The fiexing and folding Of the rocky
strata, miles deep, under an even pres
sure is only a question OF time. Allow
time enough and force enough ana Il
layer Of granite may be bent ike q
bow. The crystals Of the rock seem
TO adjust themselves to the strain and
to take up new positions, just as they
do much more rapidly In a cake OF
ice under pressure. Probably no hu'
man agency could hex stratum OF
rock, because there is not time enough
even II there were power enough. "A
low temperature acting gFauudlIE,
says my geology, during an indeh-
mite age would produce results that
could not be otherwise brought about
even through greater heat Give us
time" say the great mechanical forces
land we will show YOU the immoblle
rocks and your rigid mountain chains
as flexible as piece of leather
"Giye us time" say the dews and the
rains and the snowhakes "and we Will
make you a garden out Of those same
stubborn rocks and frOwnlng lodges
"Give us time" says Life. starting
with its protozoans in the old Cam
brian seas, "and | will not stop till
have peopled the earth with myriad
forms and crowned them all with
man."-John Burroughs in Atlantic.

GOING ABOUT IN CHINA.
Useful Sedan Chair In the Crowded
Noisy Streets Of Canton.

Noisy Streets Of Canton.
There are but two ways to so about
Canton-on foot or in sedan chair.
The streets are from four to eight feet
wide, the average being probably about
six feet, and wheeled vehicles are out
Of the question. Even the jinrikisha
cannot be used here. II you try t.
make your way on foot. the density OF
the moving masses renders progress al
most impossible, and rOwdies and pick
pockets are numerous, so that the best
plan is to take responsible native
guide and chair.
The chairs are carried by two. three
and sometimes four men, according to
the weight Of the passenger. The tw'
bamboo poles by which the chair Is
supported are about eighteen feet long
and are Joined at the front and rear
ends by a crOSspiece. After you have
taken your seat the coolies raise the
ends Of the poles to their shoulders
and are OF at a dogtrot. only inter
rupted by a congestion Of traftic.'
which occurs very frequently.
1t Ia surprising to see how rapidly
they can go through the crowded
streets. The whole line OF chair car
riers are. yelling all the time. as are
other people who are carrying burdens
for as there are no carts in use the
entire merchandise of the city is trans
ported In the same manner. not b!
chairs, Of course. but slung on pole'
carried across the shoulders.
The noise resulting from the stimuli
taneous shouting of every one In sight
both In front and in the rear. for thu
stream is flowing In both directions. Il
enough to make one wonder If the Ion:
expected riot has begun.-Denver Post

Mission Of Pain.

Although looked upon as an evil.
pain is kind. 1t tells that the laws of
nature have been violated and warns
us to correct the cause. If 1t were
not for pain we would go on doing
things that would destroy us. Pain
is a warning that something is wrong,
and instead Of trying to hush the pain
with some drug we should seek to re-
move the cause.

 SEED WHEAT.
Grad. Generally Used Not Up to the
 Standard


 That fhe grade of seed wheat gen eraIly used ls not up to the standard was aseertaiBed iB an investigation hy C W. Shaw of the California station who secured large number of sam pies of seed wheat over a wide area IT. the eacra amento and San Joaquin val lers of California to determine the general character of fine seed used by the farmers of the state. In general the sampl showed that the quality of seed used by most farmers k lack ing in purity. perfection of develop ment. weight per bushel. freedom from weeds and freedom from bunt. Ii fs stated that practically all investiga- tors have found the use of large, plump seed and of high weight per bushel the most profitable. Nc Perna nent benefit Is believed to be secured from the frequent exchange of seed unless a better type Of wheat or q more vigorous strain of the same type K obtained by tine exchange. The use of seed from heavy yielding plants. plump and heavy grain clean wheat and a pure variety are considered by him the most important points in seed selection.
 Tn thls connection the results secur- cd by F. C. Montgomery of the Ne. braska station in all experiment with seed wheat and seed oats selected by the use of the flaming mill are Of in- ferest In these experiments heavy seed wheat as separated by the fan ming mill did not show an improve ment iH either yield or quality of grain as compared with light or unseparated seed. and fl is believed that no perma- nent improvement fin quality or yield is 10 be expected from the use of the flaming mill in seed selection.
 At first thought Ii would seem that If like produces like. the large or heavy seeds should produce the best crop However, we must recognize the individual plant as q unit for selection rather than the individual seed. If a single plant of wheat he taken and the kernels thrashed out it will be found that all sizes of kernels are produced by the plant. some large and some small.
 As every wheat plant contains both heavy and light seed. the flaming mill gives almost the same kind of wheat, so far as inheritance Is concerned. ill the light wheat as in the heavy. II must he remembered that reference is made here 10 the permanent results which may he expected from the use of the flaming mill and that its use or the use of screens for removing ob- noxious weed seed Is in no way diseour- aged.
