Relative Hardness Of Precious Stones.
The relative hardness Of various
stones is easily determined by testing
the power Of one stone to make
scratches on another. If diamond is
rubbed with one Of the points Of a
topaz, the topaz point Is blunted and
the mark which will be seen on the
face Of the diamond is only the dust
of the topaz, which can be brushed off
with the finger. But If the topaz is
rubbed against the diamond the lat
ter is unaltered and the surface OF the
former is marked with a scratch
which can be removed only by fur
Their polishing down. 1t is on the basis
Of this process Of comparison that q
scale Of comparative hardness has
been formed represented by ten sub
stances, of which diamond is the high
est and graphite the lowest in the
scale. 1t is curious fact that these
two extremes Of the scale, the brilliant
and hard diamond and soft black
graphite, are both chemically the same
substance-pure carbon.-Jewelers' Cir
cular.

A Lucky Answer.

"A famous animal painter says
that when he was a boy he once
witnesses a fight between two
dogs, one of which belonged to
an Irishman who was a retired
prizehghter. The Irishman' 5
dog was badly beaten, and the
fact was a source of deep cha
grin to the owner. He was very
jealous of his dogs record, but
as only he and the painter had
seen the fight he asked the latter
in decidedly significant way
which of the dogs won.
why was the reply, your
dog won, of course. He was un-
derneath the other dog, but he
was chewing the life out of the
cur all the time. >
That's roight,' said the Irish
man. You have saved your

There never was a truer saving

There never was a truer saying
than that town is judged by its
newspapers. If it is crowded
with advertisements, let not the
subscriber find fault, but rejoice
and be exceedingly glad, because
it denotes a live and prosperous
community. The town and sur
rounding country are mutually
interested in the progress, be-
cause both share in the advance
ment. Let merchants keep the
advertising columns of the local

munity will do their part in the
general prosperity by placing
their patronage where it will do

Now After the Chickens.

"A citizen of this city has this
week handed us the following
questions: Should owners of
chickens be required to contine
them from trespassing upon the
plants, shrubbery and gardens
of those who cultivate such:
What say the Civic Improvement
Club and the City Council:
Speak up"
Now, there are several preach
crS and at least one editor in this
town, and the editor, speaking
for himself, believes he voices
the sentiment of the preachers
at least, when he says that those
yellow legged creatures called
chickens, when properly fixed
up and fried, comes as near
being good to eat as anything
that can be found.
Could not those who raise the
gardens and tender SchrubS take
some means of protecting them
and leave the editor and preach
ers alone in their glory of fried
chicken:

PACE BEING kept UP
BY BANK CLEARINGS
Comparisons With Last Year
Make Interesting Reading
for Salt Lakers.

a comparison of the total bank
clearings for the past month with the
showing made year ago is interest
ing, because at this time last year
business had begun TO recover its nor
NAL condition and it was possible at
that time to point to healthy increase
over conditions of the previous year.
The showing OF the past week is an
excellent one and fully in keeping with
what has appeared throughout the pres
ent year. There has never been time
during the year 1909 that the weekly
totals did not exceed those of the year
1908 by a good percentage and there
have been only two or three occasions
that the excess of the daily totals for
the year 1909 over the corresponding
totals Of 1908 was not large. On those
two or three occasions it was found
that an unusually large number of big
transactions were carried out on those
days year ago.
The total bank clearings for the
week ending June 26 were $7,3l9,-
only $4,S27 ,364 SO for the correspond
ing week Of year ago. The increase,
therefore, is just $2,492, 1850, or an
excess of considerably more than 81
per cent for the week. The showing
for Saturday, June 26, is even better.
The total for that day was $1,061,~
CSC, as compared with total of only
S650,644 26 for the corresponding day
Of 1908. The increase in this instance,
therefore, is $4l0,931. IA, or an excess
of more than 60 per cent.
Another interesting fact in connec-
ton with the daily totals Of bank clear
ings is the daily average, which is more
than $1,000,000 per day for each day
of the week, including Sunday, when
no business is done. That is, the av~
erage total per day for the past week
to consist Of seven days. This means
that the bank clearings for the year
will amount TO more than S365,00 900.
Following is a comparison Of the
bank clearings of the past week with
those of the corresponding days of d

THROUGH THEIR PAGES
Important Questions Are Asked
by Utah Horticultural
Commission.

At the regular meeting of the mem
bers Of the Utah Horticultural COM

orchard south OF the city and asked to
pick out trouble on the trees OF the
orchard and to prescribe the remedy
for the difficulty.
The questions which the inspectors
were required to answer included de-
scriptions of the peach tree borer, San
Jose scale, strawberry leaf-roller, the
naming of instincts injurious to fruits,
vines and shrubs, the equipment re-
quired to carry on offensive work
q gainst the codling moth, methods OF

would be TO leave town. SO Rossi went

moment. Then he set out on run.

ter him:
"If you come back 7 will set you TO
