Differences in Oil

1t is not generally known that oil
with an asphaltum base (fuel oil) is
vastly different from the paraffine
product. The former is heavy and
solid and contains no explosive gases,
while paraffine oils are highly gaseous
and explosive. 1t Is from the latter
that the by-products gasoline, naph-
tina, benZine, etc. are obtained. Fuel
oil is also used on roads to great
extent in the, west, and mixed with
other ingredients makes a good street

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning
the human stomach, which he claims
to prove, with his new medicine, is
being given more respect and COM
ment every day.
Cooper claims that 80 per cent. OF
all i'll health is due to stomach trou-
BILE. When interviewed about his
theory recently, he said: Stomach
trouble is the great curse of the goth
century so far as the civilized races
are concerned. Practically all of the
chronic i'll health of this generation is
caused by abnormal stomachic condi-
tions. In earlier days, when the hui
man race was closer to nature, ana

ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days, but it was of a virulent
character and only temporary. There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
81 know positively that every bit of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stom-
ach in civilized people today is degen-
crate. 1t lacks tone and strength.
This weakness has gradually come
through a sedentary existence. I
further know that few people can be
sick with the digestive apparatus in
perfect shape. The sole reason for
my success is because my New Dis

jackson, Miss, Feb. A very in
teresting bit of repartee was INDUCED
in the senate yesterday which did not
appear in the senate journal of today.
The journal was not objected to on
that account.
Major Gibbs, of Yazoo, Conted-
crate veteran was engaged in a
speech in favor of the reduction of
the pension appropriation bill and
deploring the fact that the state had
not more money to give the pension
ers, even though the reduction pro-
posed by the finance committee might
leave the fourth class pensioners with
less money than they ought to have.
Mr. Harper, who never forgets that
the state is not making a donation,
but is only making a payment on a
heavy obligation it owes the veter-
ans, interrupted to ask Major Gibbs
IL it would be unfair, under the same
line of logic, in the proposed increase
in the number of supreme judges, to
appropriate the same amount of mon
ey as formerly, letting the judges
pro rate it among them and each tax

his.

ALL IN GETTING USED TO IT
There Seems. No Reason fer Putting
Limit on Temperature in Which
Man Can Thrive.

II the Medical Record were not au-
thority for the statement. 1t would
not be easy to believe that some of
the employees Of rolling mills work in
a temperature of 235 degrees Fahren-
heit. So intense is the heat that 1t
occasionally ignites the workman's
clothing, in spite Of frequent satura-
ton with water. A comparatively new
disorder, which the men call mill
cramps" has appeared among the en-
ployes, who are often stricken with in
tense pain while at work, the attack
lasting from one to four hours, but at
tended with no serious after conse-
quences.
A learned physician who has been
investigating the cramps" can ascribe
no adequate cause except exposure to
extreme heat. AS if roasting alive
we're not quite enough to produce
symptoms far worse than cramps.
The victims, however, recover from
the attacks, unless the heart is weak,
and return to their inferno apparently

confirm the old saying that man can
get used to anything. If one can exist
and even put forth extreme muscular
exertion with the mercury at 235, why
is not life possible at a much higher
temperature? And where is the limit :?
1t seems to be matter of getting
used to It,"
Prof. Jaeger. the astronomer, has
recently suggested the theory that all
life originated in fire. He thinks 1t
possible that life began when the
earth was molten, because the lowest
forms of vegetable life which we
know are found where the earth is
hottest. On the other hand, some
forms Of plant life thrive with the
temperature several hundred degrees
below zero. Heat and cold are purely
relative terms and perhaps life is not
dependent upon them. All the same,
1t will take us some time to get used
to even 100 degrees in the shade.

The address given by Mr.. soper last
evening was immensely enjoyed and
appreciated by those who heard
him. Mr.. Soper is no visionary, but

The Greatness of the Task Of the

More consecrated lives that are
thoroughly trained are needed for the

be more systematic and sincere in

be the lifting up of burdens to God.

WAR ON RICE. BIRDS
South Carolina Planters Wage a
Perpetual Campaign.
Az Least one-Quarter Of Crop Of State
Said to Be Lost Through Rava0es
Of Myriads Of Feathered
SonQsters.

New York; venture to say that
at least one-quarter of the rice crop
of South Carolina is destroyed an
nually by the rice bird" said a rice
planter of that state
For years the planters have been
clamoring for some method Of Kidding
their fields of this pest, and. having
noticed that living hawk lowering in
the air over rice field would cause
the departure of the devastating birds,
negotiations we're few years ago en-
tered into by the rice planters with
a man who was an expert In the train
ing OF falcons, for experiments In
training hawks The effort was made
but our hawks did not prove tractable
and we had to give up that idea.
Then we tried the perching Of
stuffed hawks here and there about
the field, in poses Of evident watching
for opportunity to swoop down on the
rice birds. This would have the de-
sired effect for day or so. but the
little feathered pests would then dis
cover that the hawks were not the
real swooping-down kind and resume
their raids.
Guns, drums and other implements
for carrying destruction among them
and making noise to frighten them on
are the only means left US. The bird
minders.' employees whose entire duty
is to shoot and brighten away the rice
birds from the fields, are an important
and expensive factor In rice produc-
ton in South Carolina.
The rice bird, which Is your bobo-
link. catches us both going and COM
ing. 1t pounces upon us In the early
part of April. At that season its
plumage is white and black. and 1t
sings merrily when at rest.
In the latter part Of May, the night
Of the 25th being counted on with al
most dead certainty as the date, they
disappear as suddenly as they come.
Quite as punctual on the night of
August 81 following they return to
make the work Of destruction as
thorough as they can. Their plumage
is now sober, yellowish brown. All
night on August 81 their chirp can be
heard as the myriads Of birds flock in
from the ocean, bound for the rice
fields. The flight ceases as morning
dawns.
mo one ever saw rice bird coming
In on the following day, but when
darkness falls on the evening of Aug
ust % the flight is resumed. 1t con-
tinues during the succeeding nights
until the 25th. That night ends 1t, and
then millions of the birds have spread
themselves over the rice fields.
Men, women and children are post.
ed with guns and abundant ammuni-
tiM to every five acres Of rice, and
each gun consumes on an average two
pounds Of powder with the necessary
accompanying shot between daylight
and dark, the period Of daily effort to
save the crop.
"Of course great number of the
birds are killed, not only by our hired
minders, but by sportsmen. From eat
ing rice they become very fat and
their bones are softened. They are a
delicate edible morsel, being greatly
improved In quality in this respect
even over what they are as reed birds,
as they are known farther to the
north"
