Adding, Writing and Spelling
Contest.

Lancaster Teller: Of the twenty
three prize winners in the county school
contest only three are boys. In such a
contest fifty or sixty years ago the al
most certain result would have been
nearly the reverse. Going a little
farther back the probability is the win
ners would have been all boys. The
girls would not have been invited into
the contests. 1t is point for study and
reflection. Is this progress? Another
matter prominently noticeable is that
pupils in one little country school, in
what some think of as a backwoods
district, took of % prizes $50 out of
800. In contest of 220 districts we
have this result. How is it accounted
for? Is it in the teacher, Miss Brechler?
Or are the inhabitants up there better
material than the rest of us. Or do
they work harder, study more, put in
more hours to good use as the people did
in the old days? The inquiry is worth
while.

WHAT WEAK KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, disor-
ders of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drowsi-
ness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kidneys.
Chas. Goldsworthy, retired, living on
Hoard St., Mineral Point, Wis, says
Il have been practically unfit to do any
work for over five years as result of
kidney trouble and rheumatism. Dur
ing the past five months I was troubled
by retention of the kidney secretions,
accompanied by dull pains in my back.
| tried great many remedies but did
not receive relief from any Of them and
when my attention was drawn to
Doan's Kidney Pills, went to Ivey's
Pharmacy and procured box. I have
had but little pain since using this
remedy, my kidneys act more naturally
and l feel better in every way. I give

The Earth'S
Magnetism
Believed to Be Derived from
the Sun, the Great Storehouse
of Electricity.

That the earth is great magnet we
all know, and 1t was long ago sug-
gested that 1t Is an electromagnetic
tnat It's magnetism Is due to electric
currents encircling 1t from east to
west. But what causes these currents?
1t has seemed likely to many students
OF the subject that they are in some
way connected with the earth's rota-
tion-that the earth is like the arma-
ture OF great dynamo in the suns
magnetic field This view seems es-
sentially that Of DR.. F. A. Black. who
contributes an article on "The Earth
as Magnet" to Harpers Magazine.
Says this writer:
"The advances In electrical science.
in its relation to nature, have of late
years brought many to believe that
: the sun Is our great storehouse Of
electricity; that the ether of sur
rounding space Is electric In charac-
ter and that electricity itself may even
be atomic in structure
Thus the sun In pouring out light
and heat, is believed to be also pour
ing out electricity, or electric energy,
to all surrounding space Whether in
the form of waves of the surrounding
ether or Of physical particles, this
electrical stream flows on to the earth
on the side of the globe which Is ex-
posed to the sun. AS the earth In its
daily motion rotates eastward, causing
the sun apparently to pass around the
earth daily in a westward direction,
thia stream or flow of electricity Is
caused to wind constantly around the
earth TN westward direction, coil
SO to speak. being completed in each
daily rotation. Thus the magnetization
of the earth very probably results In
a manner exactly analogous to that
employed when needle Is magnetized
by an electric current through a right
handed spiral coil
There would seem to be reason for
believing, at least, tentatively: First
That the earth in it's physical struc-
ture consists to such an extent of mag
netizable material that it Is capable,
as a whole, of being converted into
magnet: second, that an electrical
stream, or current. is received by the
earth on the side exposed to the sun,
which, through the earth's rotation, is
coiled around the earth from east to
west, causing the earth to become an
electromagnetic; third, that the CONVEX
sion of the earth into an electromag-
net in this manner Is the cause of the
directive tendency OF the magnetic
needle, both in declination and dip,
while the diversities and pecuharities
connected with the method Of magnet
ism are the cause of the constant
changes and anomalies In the move
ments of the needle, and. fourth, that
the method of magnetism, and the
character of the exposure of the earth
to the sun and the Irregularities Of the
earth itself in both form and compo-
sition are the causes which decide the
position of the terrestrial magnetic
poles and equator and the changes
which occur in relation thereto"

More Men and Women at
Agricultural College.

Of the 4,947 students enrolled at the

year middle course, "a, gain of 80 or
III per cent The short course students
this year numbered 461, the same as
last year. The dairy school had 100 en-
rolled. There are SO women enrolled in
the home economics department.
Five young women are studying agri-
culture this year in the two year and

young women are studying horticulture
and landscape gardening.

PEARL OYSTERS AND X-RAYS
American Electrical Engineer Has
Perfected an Extremely valv-
able invention.

Pearl fishing Is the very latest In
dustry to make use Of X-rays. Hither-
to the process of obtaining pearls has
been extravagantly wasteful Of the
oysters, for until the shells were
opened and the oysters killed there
was no means Of ascertaining wheth-
er they contained pearls or not In
Ceylon, the chief pearl fishery of the
world, the immemorial custom has
been to dredge up the oysters. open
them, and throw them into a recep-
tacle. there to decay. The number OF
shells which contain pearls is only a
small proportion Of the total number
gathered. but all must perish in this
methodical devastation. After the
oysters have decayed for a certain
time they are heaped up in troughs
and rtnsed In sea water. This wash.
ing carries of most Of the flesh. and,
being repeated several times. leaves
a sediment in the troughs. This Is
examined carefully for pearls. The
shells also are examined, for the ma
jority Of the pearls are found in the
shreds of flesh which adhere to the
shells. The process not only wastes
the oysters which contain no pearls,
but which, II allowed to live, might
sooner or later bear them. but Il
wastes the small. seed pearls, which II
left in the sea would grow to a size
that would make them valuable.
John Solomon, an American cleo.
trical engineer. has changed all this.
Awaiting himself Of the discovery that
x.ray photographs showed whether or
not an unopened oyster contained q
pearl. he went TO Ceylon and put the
discovery to practical use. He built
a house On the deserted island Of ipau.
tiou. in an immense bay, bordered By
cocoanut and spice-bearins trees. A
fast as the fishers bring In the oysters
to him they are ranged In troughs,
each containing 20, and are taken to
the X-ray room. IN less than . min
ute 90 patches Of 100 each are photo
graphed. Those which contain pearls
large enough TO be Of value are opened
at once. while those which contain
none are cast back into the sea. The
shells which contain seed pearls are
carefully deposited In a marked area
Of the bay, called the nursery, there to
remain until such time - Mr.. Solomon
thinks their pearls have attained suf-
ficient growth Thus no oysters are
wasted.
