creasing their output. Active prepara-
tions are being made in lumber camps
for the winters cut. Gasoline engine
manufacturers note a smaller demand.
Labor among granite manufacturers is
not as we'll employed.
The general retail business, while in
fairly good shape for season, has been
a little quiet owing to the warm, pleas
ant weather of the week. Merchants
however, report stocks in good shape.
Country merchants look for a good holi-
day trade as farmers are receiving good
returns from their sales. Their condi-
ton, as to ability to buy, is said to have
improved over what it was earlier in
the year. Among some of them, how
ever. there has been tendency to sell
off good deal of their live stock, rather
than to. purchase feed during winter
months. Hay is in good demand at high
prices but the supply is limited. Re-
ports from maple sugar apparatus manu-
facturers note that demand this season so
far is much in excess of last year. Col
lections are more or less uneven.

glanced into the bright open counte-

ashamed of himself rs he mechanically
held out his hand for the remaining
eleven copies.

NATURE AS A CHEMIST.
Feats Which the Highest Gxactitude
of Science Cannot Rival.


The bursting leaves OF sprinstime

performs feats which the highest ex-
actitude of science cannot hope to ri
val In a leaf the living matter is his
chemist, and the cell is his laboratory
By daylight the leaf chemist is alb
sorbing the carbonic acid gas ana
is decompoSing this gas into its com
ponent elements-carbon and oxygen
The carbon it is retaining as part of
the plants food TO enter into combina-
ton with water, and the oxygen It
sets free into the atmosphere BY
night this process ceases, for light is
an essential feature in the operation.
Out of the carbon and the water the
leaf chemist will elaborate the sugars
and starches which the plant world
affords. As sugar the products will
pass from the leaf to be stored up, as
in the case of the potato, for example,
SO as to afford storehouse Of food
whereon the plant may draw for its
sustenance and for the development of
its leaves and flowers when occasion
comes. All the vegetable essences and
acids. the scents and gums, the juices
which yield india rubber, the flavoring

flowers are similarly the products OF a

OF course the break reacted on the
lovers. They refused to he bound by

The cy-iudge said TO his daughter
when the matter was brought up:
Il always liked Walter, but | think
you had best call this matter off and

And when Waiter came home from
college and spoke of his marriage as if
the break had nothing TO do with the
lovers the honorable. his father. was
prompt to say:
Edith is = nice girl and a sweet girl.

less of her fathers disposition. He was

After due thought Waller decided
not to do any such thing. He was not
prohibited from calling. though all the
family except Edith kept out of the
way. Just how or when things would
mend was worrying the brains of the
lovers not II little when the puzzle was
solved in most unexpected way. The
Hon. Morton invited his son into the
library to say to him,
Walter, you do not seem to have
given Edith up yet:"

the strain.

The craft. now almost completed, is
a monoplane siXty-five feet long and
radically different from other designs,
having Il width of only fourteen feet.
Mr.. Gibson says the great speed is
given by his engine, which weighs but
222 pounds and develops sixty horse
power. The four air cooled steel cyl

There are eight single blade propel-
lers, four on each side, rotating in OPP
posite directions, only one lever being
used to operate, with n steering wheel
like that used on an automobile.
The machine will weigh 400 pounds
