Great SAVING Of Time.

The manager of one of the electric
light companies of the western part
of the country has greatly facilitated
the business of making the monthly
readings of meters by having these
instruments placed on the rear
porches of houses instead of in the
cellars. About half of the meters Of
this company are now located in some
convenient and protected place in the
rear of the house, where it is always
accessible without regard to the pres.
ence or absence of the inmates of the
house. The result is that the average
time formerly consumed by the in.
spector has been cut about in half.

LIGHTHOUSE HAS NO keeper
Volcano on San Salvador Whose
Flashes Of Light Come Regularly
Every Seven Minutes.

What do you think OF perpetual
lighthouse, needing no keeper, and
yet as regular In its flashes Of light
as one maintained by the govern
ment?" asked Albert D. Van Wyck, q
globe trotter, at the Raleigh.
This natural light never fails. and
that means much for navigation. It
is a volcano on the island Of San Sal
vador. This volcanic lighthouse Is
about eight miles inland from the port
of Acajutla. 1t is a veritable pillar OF
cloud by day, and the fash Of its light
by night has been valuable to marin.
ers for years. 1t can be seen far out
at sea, and burst of fame has gone
upward every seven minutes, without
the variation of second, for many
years.
The few visitors who stop at San
Salvador amuse themselves the first
few days by holding their watches
and timing the outburst of flame.
"A lighthouse fee is collected of all
vessels that put in at the harbor near.
est the volcano, and no skipper OBJ
jects. He knows that the volcano Is
more reliable than the lighthouses
kept by human beings on other coasts,
and the novelty of the light is worth
the price charged by the government.
There is the usual defamation caused
by the eruption every seven minutes,
and the ground is shaken, but, after
short sojourn on the island you fail to
notice it. and would be the more
shocked If it did not occur Wash.

Where Asparagus Grows Wild.

Asparagus was not introduced into
Britain by the Romans, who applied
the term asparagus to tender shoots
which, according to Juvenal, grew on
mountains {Montani asparagD. The
plant is certainly native with US and
occurs sparsely on the eastern and
southern coasts of England at Angle
sey and Pembroke in Wales and
around Wexford and Waterford In

Mrs. S. c. 6rahdm Passes Away.

Mrs. S. G. GIaham passed peacefully
away on last Friday afternoon at her
home on the south side of town, in her
forty-eight year, after a week g illness.
While 1t was known that Mrs. Gra-
hams condition was critical, her death
was, none the less, a great shock to the
community. Besides the immediate
members of her family her brother, Ed
win Cox, of Richmond, was at her bed
side when the end came.
Mrs. Graham was a woman of lovable
disposition and of more than usual in
tellectual attainments, and was at all
times actively engaged in church and
charity work. She will be missed in
social circles, by the members of the
Woman's Club, by the Daughters of
the CoDfederacy, but most of all by the
few surviving members of the brave
boys In gray, in whose interest she was
indefatigable.
The funeral services were held at the
home on Saturday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. Charles w. Sydnor assisted by
Rev S: o. Hall. Interment was made
IN the family section in Jeffersonville
cemetery.
Many beautiful floral tributes attest

was held by her friends, and each MEM
