THE EVOLUTION OF KHAKI
Young Army Officer by Merest
Chance Hits Upon Secret that
Made His Fortune

A lucky accident led to the invention
Of khaki, thai o~live-colorsd cloth that is
worn by soldiers.
For years the British troops in India
wore . cotton cloth Of = g~rsenish brown,
but it always faded when washed with
soap. While discussing this defect
with some British officers, 3 business
man from England carslsssly observed
that the manufacturer first to discover
the means whereby 4 cotton drill could
be made that would o fade would
certainly make his fortune. One of
the officers. q young man, took the
hint. When he got home he employed
a skilful dyer, and the two began a
systematic search for an olive dye that,
when used on cotton cloth. would not
yield to soap or soda. They spent years
in experiments along this line, but to
no avail The thing seemed hopeless.
One day. however. they found among
numerous scraps of dyed cloth q that
retained its color under the most severe
tests. The puzzling Fart of it all was
that this scrap had been derived from
q piece Of cloth that had been sub
jected to the same processes. For a
long time the experimenters tried TO
solve this riddle. The one bit Of cloth
of khaki mentioned was the only piece
that kept its color against all attacks.
Finally, by the merest chance. they
hit upon the secret. The dye in which
this scrap had been dipped had remain
ed for q time in q metal dish of q
peculiar kind. This metal. in combina.
ton with the chemicals Of the dye. had
furnished the very thing needed.
They made the experiment with other
pieces; the dye held. and their
fortunes were made.

SHOWS HOW TO FARM
Former Carson Drayman Obtains
Wonderful Results From Small
Acreage in California

1T was Bart. the drayman from Car
son City," writes S. Glen Andrus in
Sunset Magazine for May. "who with q
working capital Of $1,000 gave the
ranch kings OF Northern California and
the capitalists of the East the economic
lesson of their lives. With his $1,000
savings Burt made his first payment on
his little farm, built his house and barn
with his own hands. and began to farm
it as farming should be done. With
only seven acres Of land for cultivation,
Burt sowed three acres Of alfalfa, and
around the home he planted q small
orchard; between the trees he planted
berries and vegetables; under every
tree he placed q beehive. 90 that the
bees might pollenize his trees while
storing for him their golden honey.
He kept on planting and sowing things
until every foot of land was made to do
double and treble service. Still he had
land left sufficient to devote to a
chicken yard, q pigstye and q COW pen.
In the year 1910 Burt took from his
seven acres a total Of s2,063, and with
his aggregate savings he purchased 40
acres more Of river bottom land.
The story of Mr.. Burt's little ranch
appeared in the Cultivator last October.
when it was described as the winner Of
the Sacramento Valley Irrigation Com
psny's prize for the best cared for and
most typical productive ranch in the
holdings of that great corporation.

depot at Graccy Saturday night, that
broke up in a stampede caused by
two women shooting at each other
l.and an the fusilade five or six per
ssons were shot and wounded ard
many others injured.
Near the rear door of the factory
is a large sinkhole ten feet in depth
and fifteen feet across. The house
was full and as the crowd stampeded
many fell headlong into the gaping
mouth Of the sinkhole and others
were crowded upon them until the
hole was filled TO the top and the
last to come out ran over the bodies
of the wriggling mass of scream
ing humanity, to places Of safety.
Many leaped from the windows
and one window became choked
with several boys trying to get
out at once and into this mass a
heavy negro named Pink Dabney,
plunged. knocking the boys far out
side, except one whose clothing
caught on a nail until he was torn
loose by Dabney's jumping on him
as he hung suspended under the
window. Inside many who could
not get out threw themselves fiat on
the floor until the pistols were emp
tied.
AS near as it can be learned the
trouble started when Frank Gard
ner's wife caught Frank talking to
Minnie Morris and before the men
could prevent it, the two women
were shooting at each other, and
Gardner's wife is said to have taken
one shot at him. Although fringIat
