Ions Are Very Small.

The smallest piece of matter is called
the ion. 1t is so small that person
could not imagine that anything could
be smaller. 1t is so small that it's iden-
tity is lost in it's effect. 1t is the point
where solid matter resolves itself into
a form Of electricity. Now, think how
small that is from this experiment: If
the ions in a toy balloon, full of gas,
we're counted out at the rate Of a hum
dred per minute it would take 1OO,-
100000 persons 100000 years to count
them. The fact that the human intel
lect can discover this fact is quite as
startling as the fact itself. This seems
to be getting on the edge of material
creation, and if the ion could be fur
Their divided we would have to get over
into the spirit world to do it, for there
possibly it's last analysis only can be
reached.-Ohio State Journal.

An out of door sport worthy of the

authorities generally.
No other educational institution in
the country makes so much of hockey
as sport and has so good an equip
ment for it as St. Paul's school in this
city; but it is recognized as college

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH.
She Was Alone in Her Apartments in
Dover, N. II.

Dover, N. H., Dec. l6.Mrs. Hasa
Wolfenden, aged 70, widow of Richard
Wolfenden, was burned to death at her
home at 3 St. John street yesterday
afternoon by her clothing catching fire
in some unknown manner. She was
alone in her apartments at the time.
A woman in the fiat above shouted
to Philip Bergeron, who was passing
on the other side of the street, that
woman was burning to death in the
lower fiat. He ran to the nearest box,
corner of Broadway, and pulled in the
alarm, then hurried back TO the house,
He found Mrs. Wolfenden on the floor
behind the stove with her clothing near
~ burned off. She was dead A lamp
was on the table, and the fire appeared
to have started from there, 1t is
thought that Mrs. Wolfenden got her
clothes ignited while trying to light the
lamp, and that she met her death in
going to the kitchen for water to ex-
tingush the flames.
She was lame and her eyesight was
nearly gone, which is thought to ac-
count for her failure to give an alarm
She lived with her daughter, Mrs Ida
Larochelle, who is employed in the Pa
cifie mills She is survived also by two
sons, William II. and Richard l.. Wolfen-
den.

WHEAT CROP INCREASED
IN THE UNITED STATES
Although the Acreage Decreased Con-
siderably in the Period From
1900 to 1910.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 1S.-Statistics
relative to the wheat crop of the United
States, collected at the thirteenth de-
cennial census, April 10, 1910, are con-
tanned in an official statement issued to-
day by Director Durand of the bureau
Of the census, department of commerce
and labor. 1t is based on tabular sum
maries prepared under the direction Of
DR.. lie Grand Powers, chief statistieian
for agriculture in the bureau of the CEN
sus. 1t covers all kinds of wheat COM
winter wheat, spring wheat, and
durum or macaroni wheat.
The statistics presented cover acreage,
production, and value for the crop year
1909 as compared with 1899. In maxi
ing comparisons between the two CEN
suses, the data for acreage are the
most significant, as changes in the area
planted to given crop are due large
ly to broad economic tendencies which
are fairly well indicated by the returns
OF one year out of ten. The produc-
ton, however, fuctuates from year to
year in accordance with current condi-
tions of rainfall, temperature, etc, so
that a comparison between one decen-
NAL year and another may not show the
true general tendencies. Such tempo
rary annual fluctuations in production
also affect current prices, and conse-
quently the aggregate value of the crop
for any given year. OF course there
may be broad tendencies with respect to
average yield per acre and with re-
speet to values in addition to such tenn
porary fluctuations, but such tendencies
cannot be adequately indicated by sta
tistics taken at such long intervals.
General Summary for the United States.
The area of wheat harvested decreased
from 52,5S9,000 acres in 1899 to 44,2l6,-
00e acres in 1909, decrease of s,32S,000
acres, or 1873 per cent Notwithstand-
ing this decrease in acreage there was
slight increase in production, which
rose from 65s, $4,000 bushels in 1899 to
63s,350,000 bushels in 1909. an increase
of about 25,000000 bushels, or 3.s per
cent The average production per acre,
doubtless in part by reason of tempo
rary weather conditions, rose from 1915
bushels to 1874 bushels On the other
hand, the value of the wheat crop in
creased enormously, from S369,945000
to 1851 $4,000, an increase of nearly

prohibition law which limits the amount

session at one time was at issue. The
court held that il violates the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution,
which provides that no state shall pass
any measure which deprives any citizen
OF the United States of property with
out due process of law. The Oklahoma
statute made the mere possession of
more than the stipulated amount an

The Effect of Vacations.

An eastern university professor has
agitated the public by declaring, un-
qualifiedly, that vacations usually do
more harm than good and in news
papers over the country the discussion
has been taken up by readers with
diverse views. 1t seems a simple thing
to discuss, and yet, of course, 1t has
an important aspect. One writer
in a New York paper says he
is thoroughly convinced that va
cations are not necessary to
health, strength or happiness, all
of which may be true and yet consti-
tute no argument against vacations.
Everybody seeks change now and
then, wants a little travel, contact
with new people and conditions as
toning and broadening influence and
there is no good reason why harm
should come in attaining these. There
is something after all to the old adage
that "All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy"
What the professor doubtless had in
mind was the use some people make of
their vacation periods. II they en-
ploy them in reckless and dissolute
living, then, of course, they are likely
to become more harmful than bene-
fetal and folks who do this, as a rule
are not the ones who take vacations
because they really need them. But at
the same time, il man sets his head
on having what he calls a good time, :"
how is anyone to stop him, whether
he is on a vacation or not?
Most schemes Of economy nowadays
contemplate some break in the regu-
larity and routine of labor. Vacations,
as a rule, we think, are not potential
OF greater harm than good. Natures
own laws provide for certain seasons
of rest and rehabilitation. And man
has screwed his pace up to such a
high speed today that he may scarcely
hope to go along without taking at

Sugar Beets as Fertilizers.

According to Truman G. Palmer,
secretary of the United States Beet
Sugar Industry, an association of man
ufacturers whose purpose is to get all
out of the subject of beets there is in
it, as quoted by the New York Com
mercial, If farmers in sections adapted
to sugar beets would put in a crop
every four years they would soon find
their oats, wheat and corn crops
doubling in quantity. This, because the
sugar beets act as a fertilizer in en-
riching the soil.
If really demonstrable this would be
contribution to the science of
intensive farming worth while. At
least 1t would seem to pay our farmers
to give the matter their attention.
Sugar beets have a great direct value
and If, added to that, they possess any
thing like such properties as Mr..
Palmer ascribes to them, they would
become all the more profitable as a
farm product
Crop rotation is the oldest method
of preserving and replenishing the soil
and in few cases has it failed to work.
Glover sown every few years has
brought rich rewards, and clover is a
valuable crop, but not to be COM
pared with sugar beets. If a farmer
can enrich his soil enough with one
years crop of sugar beets to quadruple
his grain crops, while at the same time
enriching his pocketbook out of the
beets, he will have struck something
that he cannot afford to ignore.
Sugar beets and beet sugar are pro-
duced in larger quantities each year
in the United States. In the season of
19O9-10 we made 457,562 tons of
sugar from beets, which was nearly as
much as Hawaii made from it's cane
and more than Texas and Louisiana
combined made from their cane Yet
we have undoubtedly but scratched the
surface of possibilities in beet culture
and beet sugar production.

The Mexican Situation.

Though DR.. Francisco l. Madero has
been unanimously nominated for presi-
dent of Mexico by the progressive
party, which he organized, It remains
to be seen whether he will win the
presidency as easily as he dislodged
Diaz. Many in touch with the situation
believe that General Bernardo Reyes,
the old friend of Diaz, will have as
good a chance of election II named by
an opposing party and that DR.. Gomez,
a former running mate and ally of
Madero, would make it interesting for
the revolutionary leader.
Writing in the Independent, an
American journalist of Mexican ex-
perience, who is credited with author
ity on the subject, says: Altogether,
1t appears at present that the election
Of Bernardo Reyes is just as probable
as that of DR.. Madero." OF DR.. Gomez
he says: He is not a man to be
laughed at-whatever strength he
gains will be Dr. Maderos loss" And
he adds: "Dr. Madero has been gradu-
ally losing strength ever since his
triumphal entry into the City of
Mexico"
1t is not impossible, therefore, that
the Diaz party may yet be the heir,
after all, of the Madero revolution. So
far as restoring political peace or In
dustrial prosperity the revolution is
thus far admittedly only a partial sue
cess. Sporadic warfare continues and
some of Madero's own followers are
now fighting their former comrades
Madero's limited executive resources
are mentioned in this connection Yet
it is questionable, when 1t comes to
that, If any other man in Mexico could
have done any more with the prevail
ing restlessness and purposeless pas
sion of the people than he did. He has
been dealing with a people who do not
want to be led. He simply staked hia
all on the chance of being able to hold
their confidence after, as we'll as dur
ing, the war.
One thing seems certain-conditions
in Mexico are still critically unstable.
The outcome of the election will be
another turning point for peace or
turmoil.
