ceived here that Prince Ito, the fam
Gus japanese statesman, has been
assasinated by a Korean at Harbin.
The fateful news was received in

caused great grief and CONSERVATION
Prince Hirobumi Ito was perhaps
the greatest statesman of new Japan
The achievement with which his

this year there Is tenth of an acre
planted in the new variety, anI Mr..
Burns has somewhat larger tract.
The cotton at both places is showing
up beautifully. The yield Is large,
the bolls being unusually full, and
there has apparently been no falling
off in the staple The Clemson peo-
pie say the cotton is worth at least
25 cents per pound. They think Mr..
Burns has discovered new variety
of upland long staple cotton, and they
are expecting great things Of 1t.
Mr.. Burns says he does not know
where the seed came from originally.
He had bought seed from several
different sources that year, and he
noticed only one stalk OF this partic-
ular kind. He will know definitely
by next fall If his discovery Is Of as
great a value as the experts at Glenn
son College think 1t is.

A NEW KIND OF COTTON.
Clemson Experts Say IL is II New Va.
ricty of Upland Long Staple.
(AnderSon Mail.)

About two years ago S. A. Burns,
successful farmer of the county,
noticed in one of his fields an unit
sually large and well fruited stalk of
cotton. He watched 1t all year, and
in the fall when the bOlls began to
open he saw that they were very
large and that the staple seemed to
be of better quality than the rest OF
the cotton in the field.
He carefully picked and seeded all
the lint, and sent sample of 1t to
Clemson College. The college au-
thorities reported that the staple
was new variety to them; that it
was equally as good as the Sea Is
land staple, and urged Mr.. Burns to
plant all the seed Of the new variety
separate from all other cotton, and
to send them another sample at the
end Of the year.
Mr.. Burns did so. and secured
enough seed to furnish the Clems IN

The Third Eve.

Mrs. Annie Besant says that man has
a third eye,' situated between his other
two, but long neglected, which, if devel-
oped would enable him to see many
things that are now invisible to hin1.l
When your collar button, jumping from
your neckband with a shrek,
Rolls serenely meath the dresser just
for spite
And on Bonded knee profanely you it's
sequestration seek,
But discover that it's vanished out Of
sight,
Then a third eye would be handy if it has
the powers they say
Yes, a tertiary optic would be fine to put
in play.

hook you cannot find

looked;
When she says in tones impatient: "Good-
ness gracious! Are you blind?
It's the simplest gown and, oh, so plain
ly hooked!',
Would that third eye help YOU find the
missing hooklet in the row?
Then this new auxiliary lamp would be
quite apropos.
When the keyhole seems a-dancing and
you can't undo the door,
When you try to read time tables Gas

When you search your clothes for dollars

When you've overlooked blond hair on
your coat

the region about the great lakes. He
it was who went to the shores of

Among other events that marked the
intrepid explorers visit to Wisconsin
was the exploding Of the theory that
those who inhabited the region about
the great lakes were Of Chinese origin
In connection with the celebration
planned there will be unveiled at Red
Banks a beautiful bronze tablet and
another on the site Of several ancient
forts. Many prominent men will take
part in the exercises.

MAN IN ISOLATION.

He ls Of Little Consequence and 10 .
Barrier to Progress.
It is not an easy thing for man to
separate himself from the thought and
activity and purpose OF the community
in which he lives and to pursue an
isolated, disconnected and selfish part.
He can't do II, indeed, and II he tries
it he will only reduce himself to a
cipher or stumbling block. The COM
munity will get on somehow, for It
must, but II it has many members
Of this kind it will be dull, heavy and
unprogressive.
Man in isolation is of little conse-
quence, next to nothing. His associa-
ton with others, the inspiration he re-
ceives from others, draw out his own
powers. '.The state" to this day, as
Plato conceived it, remains "a product
Of mind" Out Of the action and inter-
action Of currents of mind, affected
and even directed by variant views or
opinions, comes the whole progress of
man, Of society, Of the human race.
We want what Burke described as
"that action and counteraction which
in the natural and political world, from
the reciprocal struggle of discordant
! powers, draw out the harmony Of the
universe
The most isolated man cannot sepa.
rate himself from the situation he lives
in. II such isolation were general or
could be general it would be the mega
ton Of civilization.-Portland Orego-

Senator Gore, twill not know whether
these duties are higher or lower. They
will not consult this law to learn the
changes that have been made. But at
the end of each month, when they con-

The school superintendent was in

day her active mind hit upon physiol-

1t happened that the teacher did
herself not like the study Of the hui
man anatomy and therefore had not
drilled her scholars as she should have
done. But the little girl to whom the
first question was put so bewildered
the superintendent and made her lose
her patience that there were no more
questions of similar nature asked.

SUBMARINE RIVERS.
Cold Water Currents Flowing Along
the Deep Sea Bottom.


the Deep Sea Bottom.
The bottom currents of seas and
oceans, such as those which possibly
bring amber to our shores, are strange
ly disposed. The seigneur Of Sark some
fifty years ago was shipwrecked in his
yacht near the island Of Guernsey. He
lost, among other things, a well fas-
tened, strongly made chest containing
silver plate. 1t was found year later
in deep water off the coast of Norway
and restored to him.
In the really deep sea over a thou
sand fathoms down there are well
marked broad currents which may be
described as rivers Of very cold water
(only 4 degrees or so above freezing
point. They flow along the deep sea
bottom and are sharply marked off
from the warmer waters above and to
the side. Their inha bitants are differ
ent from those Of the warmer water.
They are due to the melting Of the
polar ice, the cold water so formed
sinking at once owing to its greater
density below the warmer water of
the surface currents.
These deep currents originate in both
