WORLDS HOLIEsT CITY.
Benares Swarms With Sacred Beasts
as Well as Sacred Men.

The hottest city on the face of the
globe is Benares, writes Frank G.
Carpenter from there. All who die
within so miles of Benares, whether
they be HindoOs or Mohammedans,
Buddihists or Christians, liars or
thieves, go straight to heaven. Even
to visit Benares wipes away sin, and
to battle in the holy Gauges which
flows by it will make you eternally
happy, 1t is the greatest pilgrimage
city on earth. The tomb of Confu-
cius in China, the birthplace of Mo-
manned at Mecca and the Church of
the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem all
put together have not half the wor-
shippers. More than a million pill
grims annually kneel at these
shrines. In coming to them thou
sands have Frustrated themselves
again and again, measuring their
journey by their own lengths, and
every pilgrim thus goes around the
holy spots near the city, making a
circuit of 45 miles. This pilgrim
age takes six full days, and the
route is marked with temples and
shrines.
Everywhere in the city Brahmin
priests are cOnsOling and fleeing the
pilgrims. They can be told by the
caste marks on their faces and half
naked bodies. and by the white
strings around their necks. There
are more than 10000 of them in Be-
mares, near the temples and under
great umbrellas down on the Ganges.
They will cure your sins for a price;
they also take care of idols to the
number of a half-million or more.
Benares is a city of sacred beasts
as we'll as of sacred men, It-swarms
with sacred COWS and great white
bulls with humps on their backs. 1t
has sacred apes and a great temple
in which the monkeys live with
Durga, the goddess of suffering
death. Durga is supposed to love
blood. She has a necklace of skulls
under her blOoddripping mouth.
She is crowned with snakes like the
Medusa, and her face is covered with
gore. She is fond of sacrifices, and
thousands of human beings have been
killed on her affairs, but the British
have forbidden this now. The mon
keys throng the courts of the tenn
pie and live in the trees which hang
over it, They are sacred to Vishnu
another great deity, and are kept re-
vered as representations of the mon
key god Ram, being considered gods
and goddesses who must not be
touched. They are fed by the priests
and pilgrims, and are so tame that
they will come to your feet.

will do much toward encouraging
the raising of hogs. Here is an ac-
count of the stop of the car at one
place, which is a sample of it's daily
journey and service:
The Hog Special is meeting
with the best of success, and that its
ultimate mission will be filled in a
few years, when carloads go to the
stock yards at Fort Worth where
now but few hogs are shipped. The
country is ideal for the production
of hogs, and all that is lacking is the
proper interest. Every food that is
essential to the production of hog
is grown here and with comparative
ease and the pasture land is as good
as can be found in the country.
Hundreds of farmers greet the hog
demonstration train at it's every stop,
some coming as far as twenty miles.
which goes to prove that the first
hog demonstration train to be run
in America has a future before it as
great as the corn and agricultural
trains of the north and the Pacific
coast.

The Blue Rose.

The question is frequently asked:
VIII there ever be blue roses? To
this a well-known botanist once re-
Piled: I'VE may have a yellow rose.
but 1t is pretty well agreed that if
we ever see a blue one it will be a
process of continuous variation and
selection"
BY this it is meant that if blue
rose is ever produced from red
variety, for instance, the change will
not be a sudden one, a leap from
one color to the other, but the result
OF a gradual progression through a
series of steps leading regularly from
red to blue.
In fact, it has been found that
both plants and animals exhibit a
tendency toward a definite succession
Of colors, and certain colors have
been regarded as representing higher
degrees of evolution than others
Inc changes toward these "higber"
coIors are usually continuous, and
require a series of variations. while
on the other hand instances of sud
den reversion to lower colors are
not uncommon.

Natural Hues Easy to Change in

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Many hor-

world are devoting themselves to the
solution of the problem of how to
produce flowers of colors different TO

hundred years scientists in floral Gull
ture have expended their energies
toward the creation of a black rose,
but though they have succeeded in

said that their efforts have not vet

TEXAS HOG TRAIN ON TRIP

DALLAS, Tex.-Think of a rail-

Stimulates the Growth.

White globes, it is said, have no
effect whatever on the color of a
fower-neither deepening nor less
ening the tint-but as a stimulant
to growth the white globes are highly
satisfactory, and plants reared in the
rays of a white electric light are
claimed to be strong, to bloom free
ly, and to come to maturity in a mar
Velously short period of time.
Yellow globes are also very SER
viceable, producing the most delicate
and beautiful tints, changing deep
blue to pale mauve, rich orange to
the faintest sulphur, and brilliant
red to she'll pink. Curiously enough,
blue globes are said to have no eff
feet on the color of a flower, while
they appear to neutralize the pro-
pagating qualities of the electricity4
In other words, a plant reared in
the rays of electric light, shaded by
blue globes, will attain maturity in
pretty much the same way it would
were it grown in the open air or in
conservatory. Whenever it is de-
sired to increase the depths of COL
ors and to effect gorgeous crimsons,
rich yellows, or dark puppies, it is
found necessary to employ the red
light.
