Vast Sum Which We Spend on Peanuts

BY far the largest part of the crop
is consumed from the peanut stand,
the little whistle sign of the rooster
being the signal for the average
youngster to suggest to dad or ma
that some of them would be very &C.
ceptable, and the paternal or mater
nal parents willingness--nine times
out of ten-to invest. let there are
millions of bushels that go to the
fattening of hogs throughout the
south, the feeding of poultry, while
the vines, often cured as hay, feed
thousands of head of cattle, and even
old Mother Earth is nourished by the
roots of the plant, which furnishes
nitrogen to it from the air.
The farming Of peanuts during the
past five years-not longer than this
has become an established industry
of this country. At present about five
sixths of the crop comes from Vir-
ginia and most of the balance from
Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia
and the Carolinas, although most OF
the southern states contribute some.
AS the peanut industry has increased
so has the use of all nuts grown
nightly as an article of food during
the last decade, and the entire fam
lily now forms a most important part
of the diet of the physical culturist
and vegetarian.

this about two slices of crisp toast with

The AIbatross.

The power of flight possessed by
the albatross, that wanderer of the
sea, is wonderful in the extreme. 1t
spends it's life, with the exception of a
few weeks given each year to nest
ing, entirely at sea, and is on the
wing practically all the time. Further
more, 1t does not progress by flap
ping its wings as most birds do, but
seems to soar at will, rarely, if ever,
giving a stroke of the wing, seeming
to need no impetus. At nesting-time
which is early in the year, the alba
tross repairs to some isolated island
such as the Crozet islands in the
southern Indian ocean, Tristan da
Cunha, in the South Atlantic ocean.
Here they Congregate in thousands,
building their nests and Matching and
rearing their young. The nests are
built on the ground in an open stu
alton. They are mound-like in appear
ance, and have slight depression on
the top. They are made of mud, and
grass, and about IS inches in height.
The aibatross lays but one egg, which
is quite large, being from four to five
inches, in length. The she'll is rough,
creamy white in color, and speckled
with numerous, brownish spots. When
disturbed on the nest they clatter
their bills, making a very loud noise,
which, when taken up, by thousands
of birds, becomes deafening.

Some general observations on home
building will not be out of place for
the benefit of the intending builder
before describing the plan shown in
this connection. The long-felt want
FOR an artistically expressed and con-
venientIy arranged small house Is be-
ing filled. The man with $4,000 to
$4,000 which he wants to put into a
house can now have a cottage which
will, in design and plan, express his
individuality And it is true that the
house should reflect the taste Of it's
owner or occupant. Home builders
have come to realize that a house
should possess individuality without
being freakish. The hammer and saw
square box of a house, or the fright
full creation with caves extending out
barely six inches, never sells, let alone
being a place for a habitation. Archi-
tects as a rule are putting forth their
best efforts in the line of designing
houses that will be artistic and beau
tiful to look upon. The architect re-
allies that, first of all, the plan must
be arranged to meet the needs of the
family. The court of last resort in
the planning of a house should not be
the architect, should not be the man
of the houTn. The final dictum must
be given aid is given in most cases,
by the wife and mother. And pro-
vided what she wants is within the
bounds of architectural limits, let her
have it, for she is there the whole
livelong day and ought to have the
last say, as she will anyway. Anoth-
er thing, the design will be Influenced

other matter that will be disposed of
by General Wood very soon. He has
also a number of ideas regarding CO.
operation between the regular army
and the militia which he will prob.
ably attempt to put into practise.

How Old Mother Earth Hides Her Age

! e CT the Earth" from a more philo
sOphical point of view.
The age of the earth always has
been subject for discussion among
men of science and largely without
any definite agreement among the
representatives of the different
branches of studies on account of the
different points of attack.
Briefly, the more recent discussions
as to the earth's age have placed the
time as follows:
Lord Kelvin, in 1863, estimated the
earth's age at 100000 to 40,00O,O0
and perhaps 98,OO0,000 years.
Clarence King and Carl Barus, in
1888, placed the age at 24,000,OOO
years.
Lord Kelvin in 1897 revised his fig
ures from 20,OO0,000 to 4O,0O0,00O
years.
De Lapparent, in 1890, said it was
67,O00,00O to 90,000,000 years.
Charles d. Walcott, secretary Of the
Smithsonian institution, in 1898, placed
the maximum age at 100000 years.
J. Jolly, in 1899, estimated the age
of the ocean at S0,O00,000 to 90,000,000
years.
w. ]. Sollas, in 1909, placed the
age of the ocean at 80,000,000 to $780,
