The Harvest MGGn Explained.

In accordance with our annual
custom, we will say that the harvest
moon is that moon that is full near
the autumnal equinox.
The peculiar phenomenon about
the harvest moon is that it rises inn
mediately after sunset for several
consecutive days. This phenomenon
is owing to the small angle made by
the ecliptic and the moons orbit
with the horizon at this season CT
the year. It was first called the
Harvest Moon" BY the farmers of
of the north of England, whose har-
vests were gathered about this sea-
son of the year and the bright light
of the full moon for several conse-
cutive days enabled them to work
longer in gathering their harvests.

President Taft on his journey
across the continent has met with
chilly receptions. The purpose of
his trip is to explain why he vetoed
the Wool Bill and the Farmers Free
List Bill. These measures were in
tended to give relief to the people
Of the country from the extortions
OF the trusts. Mr. Taft's excuse
for the veto which he is making on
his trip is that his tariff commission
has not reported their investigation
Of the tariff law. The people know
they are being robbed by the high
tariff and they do not want red tape
business about reducing it. It is
very much feared that when Presi-
dent Taft returns from his visit to
the Pacific coast, after he has seen
the attitude Of the people he will de-
cline to run for the presidency next
year. The Democrats are very anx-
ious for Taft to make the run be-
cause he would be a very easyman
to defeat.

The EXdCti0nS 0i the Sugar Trust.

An advance of cent pound ir
the price Of sugar costs the people
of the United States $70,O00,0 900 &
year. Recently the Sugar Trust has
advanced the price about cents 3
pound. putting it higher than it has
been for some twenty years. The
advance costs the people at the rate
Of about $4,000, 900 year. In the
market quotation Of the American
Grocer for September 20, 1911, it
is said that "the recent rise in raw
sugar holds with unusually high
supply here; the refined list has
again been advanced, with two re-
fners out Of the market" The
price is now about Z cents a pound.
The Grocer gives the visible supply
of America and Europe in warehou-
ses and afoat as 1852 tons. as
against l ,247, $50 tons last year at
the same time. In view of the fact
that the Louisiana crop is enormous
ly large this year, the shortage CIV
en- does not justify an advance of
nearly 80 per cent, in the price of
sugar. The price in this country at
this time is higher than in Europe
And yet the Sugar Trust declares
that it is the shortage in Europe
mainly that caused the rise in price.
The prevailing opinion seems to
be that the Sugar Trust is taking
this occasion to make the people re-
turn to its til the money that it had
to make good to the Government on
account Of it's cheating with false
scales. Possibly also it is raising a
campaign fund for use next year.
Every pound of raw sugar that
comes into the United States must
pay a tax Of about / cent pound.
Refined sugar is taxed cents q
pound, so as to keep the American
market in possession of the Sugar
Trust. When one of the prime nee
essaries Of life is selling at famine
prices it is no time for the Govern
ment to increase the cost by taxing
it. Congress should promptly, upon
reassembling, decrease the differen-
tial on refined sugar. 1t would be
best to make all sugar free, but, if
the Government cannot get along
without its revenues from sugar, it
might as we'll cheaper refined sugar
by reducing the extra duty from
which it derives no revenue. 1t Is
not right to keep the price of sugar
high for the benefit Of a trust that
has been convicted of defrauding
the vernment.-Baitimore Sun.

A 546-POUND FALL SUIT.
Light as Ordinary Wearing Apparel
When Under 230 Feet of Water.

Only one man in the world knows
from personal experience how il
feels to be at the bottom of 23O feet
OF water. That man isl E. Candy.
chief machinist of the submarine
boat Shark. He made the plungo
IN Long Island Sound. He wore a
suit OF armor weighing $40 pounds.
At the greatest depth he was in
communication with persons on the
surface by means of a telephone.
The descent was mande from q
scoW, six miles from shore. The suit
lay on deck like two halves of an
oyster shell. Candy lay down in one
half and the other half was securely
bolted on. Then the arms and the
talon-fingered hands were secured
IN the same manner, and, last, came
the 100-pound shoes.
With rope and a windlass, the
diver was raised to an upright posi-
ton, swung over the edge of the
scow and dropped slowly into the
water. At a depth Of SO feet he
telephoned to his comrades above
that daylight had almost disappear
ed. Above, there was only a glim-
mering glow, while before his eyes
t1oated what were apparently phos-
phorescent objects, the exact nature
Of which he could not determine.
At the bottom Of Long Island
Sound-230 feet-absolute darkness
reigned. Even with a strong electric
search light, he could not see OBJ
jects more than 10 feet away. Yet,
at this depth, SO great was the den
sity of the water, his 540-pound suit
With its 100-pound shoes, seemed as
light as ordinary wearing apparel.
This is the strongest diving suit
ever made. The boiler of locomo-
tive could not withstand greater
pressure. AT the depth of 23O feet,
the weight Of water is 10 pounds
to the square inch, but the builders
Of the suit in which Candy made his
descent say it could easily stand the
pressure of a hundred feet more
water.

Selma Ellis, Columbus County Boy,
Takes New Lease on Life.

Selma Ellis, a Columbus county
boy sixteen years old, who lives neal
Fair Bluff, was brought in to tht
State and county Dispensary July
25th on a stretcher. He was unable
to sit up or walk. He had been ir
declining health for Six years, un
able to work or to go to school. He
weighed only sixty pounds and had
an enormous ulcer on his left leg.
A microscopic examination veri-
fed the belief that he was a victim
Of the severest type of hookworm
infection. Treatment was begun
by DR.. Pridgen, but as he had to
move his hospital, DR.. C. w. Stiles,
Scientific Secretary of the Hook
worm Commission, was prevailed to
complete the treatment at the Mar
inc Hospital in Wilmington.
Selma made a splendid recovery,
can walk or run, and is now at his
home in good health. He gained 19

and the quality of his blood has H.
creased IA per cent to 60 per cent of
