A SAD STORY.
The Misfortune That Came With a
Terrible Tumble.

The Misfortune That Came With
Terrible Tumble.
Fowling Is now very little practiced
in the Shetland islands, although many
eggs are secured annually. Many
thrilling stories of fowling adventure
are told by the Shetlanders. A man
who had undertaken to climb certain
steep cliff was neither very expert
enced nor very brave, although he
boosted Of being both. He pushed up
ward. however, briskly without look
ing behind until he had got up about
$50 feet, when he stopped to breathe.
The pause was fatal to his self posses
sion. and he called out in tones of ter
ror, Men, men, am going-I am GO
ing" But he still held on for little,
and 1t was not till he had shrieked
many times II am going" that he did
fall headlong.
His comrades, having thus been
warned. moved the boat out of the way
so that the poor fellow came sheer
down into the deep water. Mighty
was the plunge. but at length he rose
to the surface, when of course he was
instantly caught hold of and dragged
into the boat After many gasps and
much spluttering of sea water from his
mouth his only remark was; "Eh,
men, this is a sad story. have lost

Thru the cooperation of prominent
merchants and bankers in South Caro-
lima and Georgia, the farmers of those
states are carrying out plan suggested
by the department of agriculture for
improving their draft stock. Hereto
fore the custom has been to import
mules mostly from Missouri for farm
work. DR.. S. A. Knapp, the special
agent in charge OF the farmers coop
erative demonstration work under the
direction Of the bureau of plant indus
try, suggested that the farmers secure
grade percheron mares and start raising
their own stock. The cost of perch
eron stations being too high for the
farmers to undertake ther purchase, the
progressive business men agreed to at
tend to that themselves. The first car
load of mares was sent from Virginia to
the farmers of South Carolina and Geor-
gia last week.

GOLD LEAF.
Made Now Practically as II Was Made
Nine Centuries Ago.

Made Now Practically as It Was Made
Nine Centuries Ago.
In an article ON gold leaf in the Mag
azine of Commerce John Mastin says
that just as the date of the discovery
of gold is too remote even to be guess
ed at so Is the origin of gold leaf lost
In antiquity.
On some of the most ancient mum
mics discovered gold leaf has been used
on the skin, tongue, teeth, etc, ana
In some instances on the collins also,
Ii also appears on tombs, monuments
and the like, and, strange to say,
though gliding with thin sheets of
hammered gold" and skins of gold
otherwise gold leaf-was known to be
practiced at least in the eighth cen
fury B. c., the process of bringing the
gold into these fine sheets or skins
was, at any rate in the eleventh cen
fury A. D., substantially the same as
that used today, no advance whatever
having been made In the intervening
nine centuries.
Further, on some of the Grecian pot
terry of the fifth century the gold leaf
used is as thin as that used today, so
that in results obtained also we have
not advanced in the least, but still keep
practically TO the same average thick
ness as that used on the Egyptian cot
fins of the third century A. d. and
most of the Greek vases of the fifth.

FORCE OF GRAVITY.
How 1t Would Affect Mans Weight on
the Celestial Bodies,

How It Would Affect Mans Weight on
the Celestial Bodies.
If the planet Mars be really inhab-
tied the people who live there must be
an exceedingly agile race. The av-
erage weight of a man is about 40
pounds. but the force of gravity on
Mars is so much less than on the
earth that the 40 pound man would
weigh only ffty-three pounds If he
were transported thithcr With such
light weight. and still retaining the
same strength. an individual would
be able to run with the speed of an
express train, go skipping over ten
foot walls and do various other ex
traordinary things. On the moon a
man would be even lighter
But on the sun our l40 FOUNDER
would have his troubles. Instead of
being an airy individual he would
weigh in the neighborhood of a ton
and three-quarters. He would prob
ably have the greatest difficulty in
raising his hand. for that member
would weigh about 300 pounds.
According to scientific computation,
man who on earth weighs 40
pounds would on the other celestial
bodies weigh as follows:
The moon. % pounds; Mars, SO
pounds; Venus, ia pounds; Mercury.
40 pounds Neptune, 1923 pounds;
Uranus. 1877 pounds; Saturn, 1865
pounds; Jupiter, 81 pounds, and the
sun. 3,S71 pounds. Chicago Tribune.

An alleged scheme for the assassina-
ton of President TAFT was unfolded to
Miss Della c. Torrey, aunt of the pres
ident, by stranger who called at her
home in Millbury, Mass. last Saturday.
The man, who refused to give his
name, professed to have overheard the
plotters while in Boston. AS he de-
parted he threatened to return and kill
Miss Torrey if the matter got into the
newspapers. The man went away from
Millbury as suddenly and as mysteri-
ously as he had come, and there is no
clue to his whereabouts.
