LIFE OF THE SUN.
Old ssl's Heat Will Warm the Earth
For Millions of Years.

f0f mtltt0n9 OF YEARS.
The reason why the sun retains its
heat in spite Of the quantity that 1t
gives out is explained by the fact that
heat Is generated by the fall of par
ticles toward its center. The diameter
Of the sun diminishes annually by $50
meters, n little o than the ten-mil-
Month part of its total.
According to estimates made, 10000
years will pass before the solar radius
diminlshes enough to produce IN ef-
feet appreciable by the most delicate
Instruments, always supposing that
the astronomical instruments Of the
future will be similar to the instru-
ments Of the present. By like calcula-
lions It is estimated that the SUI will
send heat to the earth between six
millions and eight millions of years
longer.
Radium, which emits heat s%pOntane-
ously and without cessation, Is present
in the sun. One gram Of radium frees
enough heat in one hour to raise a
grain of water from the temperature
Of ice to the temperature of boiling
water. Hence the presence Of this ele-
ment assists in the preservation of the
suns heat. The spectroscope reveals
great quantities Of helium in the sun.
quantities great in proportion to the
suns other elements. The presence of
helium is due to the disaggregation Of
radlum. Two grams Of radium per ton
Of the suns elements would be enough
for the entire regeneration Of all the
heat lost by the sun.-Harper's
Weekly.

APES Of GIBRALTAR.
Highly Priced and Carefully Protected
by Martial Law.

Highly Priced and Carefully Protected
by Martial Law.
Major is the name of the chief Of
the highly priced and carefully pro.
tected tribe of Barbary apes that In
habit the rock Of Gibraltar. There is
a saying in the fortress to the effect
that 1t were better to kill the gov
efnor than Major"
There are only about twenty left Of
this band of monkeys, which in some
mysterious manner zane yer from
Africa many years ago and claimed
citizenship in Europe. They are pro.
tectcd by martini law. and any addi-
ton by birth to their number is care
fully chronicled and announced in the
local paper. The apes change their
place Of residence from the highest
peaks Of the rock to lower and more
sheltered portions and back again. ac-
cording to the state of the weather.
They show their sense Of humor by
throwing stones at the soldiers. but
they are often not seen for weeks at a
time save in the early morning.
A few years ago. on account of the
diminishing numbers Of these animals.
some apes were procured from Bar
barry and turned loose upon the rock.
But resident monkeys killed them all.
Although so fierce to intruders Of their
own kind. they never attack human
beings and are greatly beloved and
esteemed.-New York Press.

The French papers have made much
of a slip by Nj. Emile Faguet in his
Grafton before the academy. The
academician rendered to Caesar more
than was Caesars. for he gave the
Fighter and writer" credit for a line
which belongs to Cato. But it seems
the immortals are not immune from
lapsus linguae. General Langlois got
mixed up with Palestro and Solferino.
Even Scribe and Moliere refer to the
revocation Of the edict Of Nantes,
which took place in 1856, twelve years
after Moliere's death. But perhaps a
more glaring instance is that of Mon
tesquin. who, in his Esprit des LOIS"

A FRENCH CALENDAR.
The Ono That Was Adopted During.
the Revolution.

In the French revolution the ma
tional convention adopted a new cal
endar containing twelve months of
thirty days each. The five days in the
year thus left were disposed Of by
making them Festivals" The months
we're named not January, February,
ETC., but Vendemaire. Brumaire, Fri
MARIE. Nivose. Pluviose. Ventose, Ger
minal. Floreal. Prairial, Messidor.
ThermidOr and Fructidor. y,
Each of these names had a meaning.
Instead of naming a month meaning
lessly after a heather god. as we name
January after Janus and March after
Mars. the names represented the spe-
cial characteristics of the month.
Fructidor. for instance. which includes
part of what we call September, means
"the fruity month"; Germinal. the tirst
Of the spring months. running from tho
last of March to the middle of April.
means 'the month of buds" and Flo
real. which follows it, the "1owery''' or
'doweral" month.
Thermidor, which means the "hot
month" is the month which under the
republican calendar included part Of
July and part Of August. The political
Significance Of the word arises from
the fact that the revolution which
overthrow R~obespierre and ended the
reign Of terror occurred on the 9th
Of the month Of Thermidor, or, a. We
should say. July 81. 1874. Il was call

eattIeship Armor.
The most remarkable use to which
the sunfower has been put is in the
construction Of b%attleships. The stalk
Of the plant is very pithy. and even
when compressed into blocks this pith
is capable Of absorbing q tremendous
quantity of water. These blocks, in
which the pith retains some Of its dexi-
bility, have been employed with much
success in the solution Of the vexed
problem Of the lining Of a battleship's
sides. They are placed between two
walls Of steel, and the substance Is so
resilient that it completely closes up
the hole made by a projectile, keeping
out the water for a long time.
Another little known use Of the sun
flower is in the manufacture of cigars.
There is not a part Of the plant that is
without commercial value. The seed.
which Is raised by hundreds Of millions
Of pounds every year in Russia. makes
a palatable edible oil, with a residue
Of seed cake for cattle. or it may be
fed in the kernel to poultry. The bios
SONS furnish honey first and then an
excellent yellow dye. As for the stalks,
the Chinese are clever enough to get q
sort of silky fiber from them, and they
are also good for fuel and for the pro-
duction of potash. In New England
it is believed that the sunflower keeps
away MI. aria" 1t is also believed that
the blossoms follow the sun in its daily
course, but that is not true.

Tobacco Crop Good.

The farmers are busy housing their
first cutting of tobacco, it is good, and
the late tobacco will be exceptionally
good. All complaints heard about the
recent drought are forgotten, and if
properly handled, Garrard county will
have the best quality of tobacco raised
in years. The agitation for a "cut-
out" in the latter part of 1910 and the
beginning of this year had tendency
to decrease the acreage in this county,
many growers putting out only about
one half of what they originally inten-
ded to raise. The large crops of re-
cent years caused the building of many
large barns, and as result there will
be no complaint as to the lack of room
for the proper handling of the crop,
and the proper curing and handling
should necessarily follow.
