BENzoATE OF SODA.

The question is frequently asked as
to whether North Dakota will accept
the ruling under the national law with
regard to benzoate of soda, says Pro-
fessor Ladd in a recent bulletin.
The fact that the referee board has
made a ruling allowing the use of BEN
zoate of soda in no way affects the
conditions in this state. The use of
benzoate of soda win not be permitted
in any product, except as provided for
under the provisions of the North Da-
kota food law. The use of benzoate
of soda is prohibited in all food pro-
ducts and beverages except In bulk
cider from natural fruits, in bulk ap-
ple-butter and in bulk fresh mince-
meat where one part In 1000 may be-
used, providing 1t be clearly and dis
tinctly labeled on each and every con-
tafner so as to show the presence and
amount of the benzoate of soda. Ben
zoate of soda Is also permissible on
Goldfish from May to Nov 1, provid-
ing its presence is clearly set forth on
the label and explicit directions given
for removing the same before cook
ing.

III sections of the country have been
shut against the boxing game, only the
promoters and the fighters are res
ponsibIe for it. They have not had
the foresight to look ahead, but in
their righteousness and greed have
wanted to make all the money possible
in very short time.
Unless some purifying steps are
taken, and unless some assurance is
furnished the public that future flights
are not fixed. the game of boxing is
doomed to speedy death.

New York, May 10.-The trial Of
Philip A. Phillipsen, Mary S. Moore and
Isabel Holland, charged with completely
in the sleeper" trunk conspiracy by
which the government is said to have
been defrauded of millions of dollars of
customs duties, was begun last week
before Judge James T.. Martin in the
criminal branch of the United States
circuit court Immediately before their
case was called Robert Schwartz, head
baggage master of the Red Star and
American steamship companies, on
docks the trunks were landed, pleaded
guilty to an indictment against him on
similar charge in the same case.
Schwartz was placed on the stand
later In the afternoon and testified that
he had been paid sums ranging from
$50 to $115 a trunk for his services in
helping to bring the trunks through
without payment of duties. Schwartz
testified that Phillipsen had paid the
money to him.
Schwartz was the last witness of the
day and he was placed on the stand

HALLEY'S COMET
PLAINLY VISIBLE
SOME FACTS CONCERNING THIS
REMARKABLE SKY VISITOR
AS TOLD 5Y PROFESSOR
PICKERING OF HAIR
WARD u.

Halley's comet is now visible to the
naked eye. Up to May Is it may be
seen in the east before sunrise. After
May 20 for some weeks it will be plain
ly visible in the west after sunset
During the five intervening days it will
be invisible because it will be crossing
the sun, says Prof. William HI. Pick
ering of Harvard university in The
Boston Common.
The records of the observation of
this astronomical body go back 1000
years. 1t was visible to the inhabitants
of the globe at the destruction of
Jerusalem, the Norman invasion of
England and at the first settlement of
English colonists in America. 1t is
known to have been observed at in
tervals of seventy-five to seventy
nine years for over 1000 years and
there is reason to believe that 1t has
been part of our system for as much
as 2OO,0 900 years. 1t was seen in 1895;
we are seeing 1t this month: and no
inhabitant of this world will see it
again until 1885.
Astronomers are agreed in general
that the head Of the comet Is swarm
of meteorites of undetermined size.
These stones are largely iron with
mixture of from to per cent Of
nickel. Attached to this head Is fan
shaped tail, which is gas existing
in highly rarified conditions. When the
suns discharges of electrical corpus
Giles strike the gas of the comets at
nosphere, the gas becomes luminous
The electrical charge and not reflected
sunlight makes the tail visible.
The weight, speed and distance of
the comet are, like most astronomical

facts, dazzling and bewildering. For
example, assuming that The mass of
the comet is one millionth part of the
earth's-its weight would then be g.
000, 600 600, 100000 tons. The comet is
moving at the rate Of twenty five
miles a second; the earth at the rate
of eighteen miles a second in the op-
posite direction. The relative motion
is about eighty times the speed OF
cannon ball When we pass it, the
comet will be 14,300,000 miles away.
On May Is we shall pass through the
tail of the comet. The chances are
that no one who is not trained OBJ
server will notice anything to make
him aware of the fact. In 1919 and in
1861 the earth passed through the tail
of comet and not even the astrono-
mers knew 1t had happened till it was
over.
The following description by the as
tronomer Herschel, who observed the
comet in 1885, may give some notion
Of what to expect:
THE nucleus was observed suddenly
to have become much brighter, and
to be in the act of throwing out a
jet or stream of light. At one
time the emitted Jet was single, and
confined within narrow limits of d.
vergence from the nucleus. At others
it presented a fam shaped or swallow
tailed form, analogous to that of gas
flame issuing from a fiattened orifice;
while at others again two, three or
even more jets were started forth in
different directions"

! after the prosecution had requested a
description of the way baggage is han
died on the docks from other witnesses.
Schwartz had been sentenced after
pleading guilty to the indictment
against him.
He described the method used in
smuggling through the sleeper trunks
or trunk, that had been left on the
docks after the customs inspectors had
gone.
The method was clever. Trunks were
shipped in the name of well known
tourists on the next boat after they had
left Europe. These were received in
New York as leftover baggage and as
such held After the custom officials
had left for the days these were trans
ferred TO another pier by an overhead
trolley by confederate and delivered
to the parties interested. 1t is esti-
mated that the government was de-
frauded out of about s5.00O.0OO in this
way.

Duluth Herald: When rank expos

Stones In Trees.

Dr. Cecil Carus-Wilson described be fore the Linnean Society in London recently some singular observations concerning the inclusion of stones in the roots and stems of trees. Oaks growing in gravelpit in Kent had so many stones embedded in their roots that they resisted attempts to saw them Some of the roots are des- cribed as consisting of "a conglomer- ate formed of flints enclosed in a woody matrix" In one specimen 67 flints were found, the largest weigh ing several pounds. In Norton church yard near Faversham are three old yew-trees. in two of which flints and fragments of tiles have been seen at a height of seven feet above the ground. In Molash churchyard are other yew-trees which have fints en- bedded in their trunks as much as eight feet above the ground. The tis- sue of the wood appears to have grown round the stones, which have been car ried upward with the growth of the trees.-Youth's Companion.

The Pretty Residence Town of Monroe County Grows.

The Holly Grove Gin Co. is now owned by Mir. Ed. Priestly, who comes from Indiana. B. J. Lambert, our clever mer- chant friend, has been quite ill with the humps, but is better.
 Mrs E. B. Williams and daughter, Miss Mamie, are re- covering after a weeks illness.
 Will Byrne and Skinner Young have formed a copartnership and entered the mercantile business.
 Dr. Ruff, son-in-law of our druggist, Ed Priestly, has nov ed to Holly Grove to practice his profession.
 It is reported that Thomas & Lee, of Clarendon, are going to put up several more brick busi- ness blocks.
 Dr. T. B. Sylar will return from New Orleans, where he is taking post graduate lectures about Mar. 10th.
 W. A. Owen, the insurance man, who has been a live real estate boomer, is arranging to put up several more nice cot tageS.
 People who haven't been to Holly Grove during the past sev- eral months can not imagine the wonderful growth of this pretty little city. Many pretty homes have been built and a number of fine business blocks have been recently finished and are occu- pied by live business firms.
 Holly Grove social circles en- joyed just a bit of surprise this week. On Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 clock at the home of the brides father, J. E.
