ROGER BACON AND THE
AEROPLANE.

Not every one is aware that the great
Francis Bacon, Who was created Baron
Verulam and afterward ViscOunt St
Alban. but who is generally though
enormously called Lord Bacon. has
been accused of pilfering without ac-
acknowledgement some of his finest ideas
and the groundwork Of his scheme of
philosophy from his thirteenth century
namesake. Roger Bacon. the celebrated
Franciscan friar. If he acted thus. a
new meaning would be given to the
third superlative in that often-mis-
quoted line of Pope. in which he de-
scribed the chancellor as
The wisest, brightest, meanest of
mankind"
An Ingenious writer has printed
quotations from the Franciscan and the
chancellor in parallel columns. and
they ars so curiously similar that il
may be said a prima facie case of
plagiarism has been made out
Whether or not Roger Bacon inspired
Francis, the claims of the former 10
greatness on other accounts are suffi-l
GENTLY substantiated He did not in
vent gunpowder, it is true-that had
been already done by the Arabs-but
he knew and described its powers: he
did not make spectacles or microscopes
or. telescopes, but he lai1 down meth

The United States has an experiment farm on

 are little nips Of frosty mornlugs occasionally during December and January but on the mesa
 the breath of frost never touches the most del
 icate vegetation. Oranges grown a the Feder- al experiment station are unsurpassed in their delicious quality.
 Yuma is a busy, up-todate town. The more modern improvements consist of several blocks Of attractive brick buildings. threestory post office building. also of brick, and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which are being made, are 6 s35, ,cGO school building $75.GOO ice plant, a fine club house for the railroad employees, larger passenger depot. and the probability of a new court house to cost S75CO0. There is con siderable business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast possbili ties of the place. They should at once erect an up-to-date tourist hotel. It should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere were only transportable like mineral waters, and one could send conSignments of this Yuma winter air to the East, the inspiration Of it's EeaIth-SlFlaG quantleS would bring @0.COU tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo Tado River.

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment station in the heart Of this big valley which is some twenty-four miles long, and in spots ten 10 twelve miles wide, down on the lower level. The results are wonderful. Last week they were cutting a crop Of alfalfa on this ex- perimental farm, and fer seven consecutive months they will cut succeeding crops. The only months when the crop Is not cut here are December and January.
 Cotton and tobacco grow wi the greatest luXuriance, and this rich alluvial so;s will be noted in a very few years as the ideal spot in the whole country for dairying, hog raising the production of poultry and vegetables. which enc hesitates to call early CT late, as they will be perennial. New potatoes will be produced in the middle of January, tomatoes will be ripe by the first of March, ripe grapes will be gathered in tue early days of May, and apri cots by the middle of the same month. Chic llcna and turkeys flourish there ia the winter time beyond all experience anywhere else.
 The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes only three O. four times in a whole winter
 With an abundance of green alfalfa and veget- able the dry and not overkeated climate prevailing in the winter months, chickens are free from the disease that make their raising difficult elsewhere. There is no spot in South CEn Illinois or Missouri so adapted to the pro duction Of corn as this valley along the Cobra Go River. With alfalfa and corn, the butter Caeese, eggs. poultry and pork to be raised on a twenty farm will amaze those who have the experience in American aericultural affairs
 The winter climate around Yuma is thing SO intoXcatn1ly salubrious That no worls can describe it. Those deserts of America, as we have regarded them heretofore. seem to Qefy the ills that human nature elsewhere is so prone to contract and suffer from. The a.mos There is as dry as punk, the skies cloudlessly clear. the air mild possible, and every breath seems to be an Inspiration of new life
