GOOD TO LEAVE HAIR ALONE
Rarely Does II Pay TO Seek to I'm

After ali, would advise no one to
change the color of the hair, though II

each face the framework most suit

Why not dress the hair to suit the
face, no matter what is the prevail

Hair should be allowed to grow gray

FROM THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICANA
We have had occasion In these col

ments carried ON by Sir oliver Lodge
and others on the influence Of electric
ity on the growth Of plants. Mr..
Emilio OLSON Of Buenos Aires, Argen-

water for sprinkling fields. The in
ventor claims that his experiments
demonstrate the practical utility Of
such a procedure. The benefits which
are said to be secured are two-fold
First. there Is direct advantage to
the plants, and secondly, Mr.. OLSON
states that according to his observa

other organisms are destroyed be

IRRIGATION OF AN ORCHARD
Not Necessary to Use Water In Such
Quantities 40 to Transform High
way Into Mudpuddle.

II il not necessary in the irriga- |
ton of an orchard to use water In |
such quantities or in such manner as
to transform the adjacent highway In
to a continuous mudpuddle for the
length Of the farm. or II the road is

Rally done in our irrigated districts.
writes o. Jayne in the Denver
Field and Farm Again. at the oppo-
site extreme are instances In which
only a small head Of water is used
and none is permitted to run on the
field. vet the loss Is as great In pro-
portion to the amount applied. as
when 1t runs into a road. This may
occur through a desire on the part
of the irrigator to be economical. The
water is applied in home opathic guam
titles, at frequent intervals. not enough
at one time TO thoroughly moisten the
ground, and as a result of the subse-
quent baking of the top soil In the
shallow burrows. practically all the wa
ter applied quickly escapes by evap-
Grafton and accomplishes no good.
Very often much water is wasted. or
at least excessive amounts are needed
for orchards because of undue haste
in planting and lack of care In first
properly grading and preparing the
land so that the trees may be econom-
ically irrigated. This is matter that
should always be given careful atten-
ton, for patience in getting the or
chard established has sometimes made
1t necessary to replant and is invaria-
by a source Of aggravation. expense
and waste for years. We know by ex-
perience that depth of burrows used
in irrigating bears marked influence
upon the rate at which evaporation
takes place and is therefore factor
to be taken into account in checking
losses by this cause. When they are
made only three inches deep. the
losses are three times as great as In
cases where the water Is applied IN
burrows twelve inches in depth. The
use of burrows shorter than those com
monty made would likewise make
considerable saving possible in mos
instances.

ATTACK ON PEARY'S
 ARCTIC RECORDS

Philadelphia, January 14.-Congressman R. B. Macon of Arkansas, who was here today to attend the launching of the bat tleship Arkansas at Camden. attacked Robert E. Peary, the arctic explorer, de- claring he will carry his opposition to the bill making Peary rear admiral and in- creasing his pay to the floor of the House and fight it there to finish.
 Tt was a trump meeting of the House committee on naval affairs" declared Congressman Macon, that voted to ad- vance Peary to the rank of rear admra and pay him ssooo year for his alleged exploit in discovering the north pole There were but ten of the 19 members oi the committee present, and the vote stood g to 1 for the honor and higher pay for Peary In other words. but 9 Of the ;9 members voted to put the stamp of recognition upon Peary's exploit
 There Is no reason why Congress should place the stamp of legitimacy upon his alleged discovery. Peary admitted be- fore the committee under cross examine tion that his compass was pointing to- ward the magnetic pole, which is 12D miles away from the supposed location of the north pole He also admitted that he took no longitudinal observations during the last 300 miles of his journey"
