The chief article of commerce is

Hundreds of laborers are thus given
employment at good wages.
The Negro tobacco growers are

egation will have a special Baptist
train all the way to New Orleans and
is scheduled to arrive in the Crescent
city at 300 o'clock Tuesday. The
ride will be a picturesque one they
will pass such important stations as
Columbia and Pulaski, Tenn, where
they pick up delegates, thence
through Athens, Decatur, Birming-
ham, Montgomery and Mobile, Ala,
where they will be joined by the AL
ALBANIA, South Carolina and Georgia
delegates. Before leaving Nashville
they are preparing to entertain the
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia
and Kentucky delegates, who are
coming by way of Nashville so as to
join the party here.
When asked why they were going
in separate bodies, Rev. Chas. H.
Clark, D. D., who is carrying this
special train out of Nashville, stated
that the City Minister'S Conference
selected the official route, but he
thought that since the Northern del
egates had planned to come this way
1t would be best to remain over to
entertain them. Many prominent di-
vines will pass through the city, and
since Nashville is a stopover point,
they will spend several days here on
their return and be entertained by
several pastors and prominent lay.
men of this city.
Attached to this special Baptist
train, which leaves the Union Station
at 800 o'clock, will be comfortable
day coaches and chair cars for the
delegates with sleepers for those who
desire them to New Orleans. This
ride will enable the passenger to see
the Gulf of Mexico from almost early
morning until three in the afternoon,
as they go through Mobile right along
the edge Of the Gulf.

TRANSPARENCY Of Gold Leaf.

The curious transparency of gold
leaf when heated in contact with glass
has been found by J. c. Chapman and
H. L. Porter to have curious explana-
ton. When gold leaf was stretched on
a platinum loop and heated In a dou-
ble-walled quartz crucible it became
more taut with rise In temperature,
and eventually the contraction tore
the leaf in places. The contraction
temperature was about $50 degrees c.
A leaf held by one side was weighted
o. the other edge to keep 1t under
tension, and after reaching the critical
temperature it contracted very rapidly
with further increase. The micro
scope showed a change to a structure
decidedly more granular. The effect
is produced in the leaf only, and on
heating gold wire there was no con-
traction. The transparency when
r. ated on glass is attributed to the
numerous spaces produced by the tear
ing of the leaf.

Truth Established,

The rich man was worried. He
feared the old master he had just pur-
chased was not genuine. He dreaded
the possibility that the public would
look upon him as an easy mark for art
takers. So he sent for the eminent
expert.
The expert came and looked at the
picture and shook his head. Then he
smelled at it and frowned ominously.
Twill you have to taste it, too?" the
magnate anxiously inquired.
The expert waved him aside.
Then he tested the painting with
acids and with cold and heat. He
scraped it down with a palette knife
and soaked 1t in boiling oil. He drew
out the fiber and cut holes in the can
vas and sawed it longitudinally.
Presently he turned to the magnate.
The picture Is genuine" he said.
The magnate stared from the
wrecked painting to the eminent ex-
pert.
But, great Murillo," he cried. the
thing is absolutely rulned!"
The eminent expert frowned.
What is the loss of a painting to the
establishment of the eternal principles
Of TRUTH" he haughtily replied.
Whereupon the magnate sadly re-
called the old adage that has reference
to the bliss of ienorance.-Clevela

rings or more truly vortex currents,
or, better yet, cone currents, and I
firmly believe that exploration in this
field will bring forth new ideas and
new principles will be discovered that
will lead to the perfection of air de-
vices in general, and the propeller, in
particular because l do not think that

How to Open a Book.

Here is something every boy and
girl should learn while young. A book
lover handles a volume as something
too precious to maltreat, and it causes
to such a genuine pang to see the care
less way in which, the person brought
up without the refining influences of
books in the home sometimes handles
and destroys masterpieces of the book
binders art. The directions given are
from Modern Bookbinding."
Hold the book with its back on a
smooth or covered table. Let the front
board down, then the other, holding
the leaves in one hand while you open
a few leaves at the back, then few at
the front, and so on, alternately open
ing back and front, gently pressing
open the sections till you reach the
center Of the volume. Do this two or
three times and you will obtain the
best results. Open the volume violent
ly or carelesly in any place and you
will likely break the back and cause
a start in the leaves. Never force the
back of the book.

MICROBES IN GREEN PLANTS
Experiments Show That Perntcious
Organisms Do Not Penetrate
Interior Of Vegetable.

For once the psychologists and n.y.
gienists, who usually appear to de-
light in alarming timid folk, announce
a discovery which will reassure those
persons who are afraid to eat green
vegetables. Manau thought that he
had discovered soil microbes in the
interior of vegetable stalks. From
this discovery resulted the condemna-
ton Of sewage farms and, indeed, Of
all market gardening as it is ordinar-
lily practised, with the employment of
manure. Fortunately this opinion has
not been shared by all psychologists.
In order to solve this problem, which
is so important from the hygienic
point of view, Remlinger and Nouri
have undertaken series of expert
ments, in which they endeavored, by
every possible means, to infect plants
with microbes. In every case, how
ever, they found it impossible to OBJ
tain colonies of microbes from the In
terror parts of the plants thus infect
ed. Hence they conclude that the
microbes in the soil do not penetrate
into the interior OF plants.

WAS SAVED By A STATUE
ingenuity Of Friend Saved Sculptor
Houdon During the French
Revolution.

Houdon, the distinguished sculptor
OF France in the eighteenth century.
who executed the statue of Washing
ton which now stands in the state at
Richmond. Va, was thrown into
prison during the French revolution.
He was. saved from the guillotine by
the tact of Barras. member of the
directory.
Nine. Houdon, In despair, had gone
to Barras, and with streaming eyes
had 1mplored his assistance. Barras
shook his head, he feared he could
do nothing. Houdon was a man Of
genius, and therefore as David, a
rival artist, was one of the condemn
ing judges, he feared there was little
chance for his salvation. Mme.
Houdon refused to accept this opin-
Ion as final, and used all the arts of
which an astute French woman is
capable. Barras at last asked her
whether her husband had any statue
for sale at that time in his studio.
Madame replied that the only finished
statue at present in his atelier was a
figure of st. Scholastic, holding q
scroll of manuscript in her hand.
On hearing this the willy Barras
rang the bell and said to his answer
Ing secretary: M Houdon just has
completed splendid statue of Phil
osophy Meditating on the Revolution
Haste and purchase this sublime work
OF art, and have it placed in the as
sembly." Barras' orders were carried
out, with the result that not only was
the sculptor's life spared, but he re-
celved more commissions for statues
than he was able to execute On such
small issues did the lives of men hang
In those tremendous times.
