Fifty Thousand Child Garden

AS a result of a statewide in
dustrial contest in Oregon there
are now $4,000 children busy
gardening. 1t is thought that of
the 125, 900 school children of the
state at least rs, 900 will exhibit
at their county fairs or at the
state fair at Salem in the autumn
something they have raised or
made. The superintendent of
public instruction and public
spirited citizens are responsible
for this wholesale plan of child
farming. Substantial prizes are
to be awarded to those who have
been most successful in raising
garden stuff, chickens and pigs,
or in making some useful article.
To aid the little ones the agricul-
tural college has issued $4,000
bulletins containing directions
Tor planting and growing seeds.
The scheme is an excellent one,
so different from the murderous
child labor of the factory. 1t in
cludes plenty of fresh air, health
full exercise, pleasant mental ex-
ercise, and blessed contract with
nature, her beauty and life.
There is here the early lesson of
obedience to the royal law of la

The Two Moons.

The loftiest mountains in the
world are something oyer five
miles high, but there are ocean
depth Of over six miles.
The German surveyship Planet
sends word from the Pacific that
she has made the deepest sound
ing thus far taken. About forty
sea miles off the north cost Of
Mindanao, the largest and most
southerly of the important islands
of the Philippines, the Planet
found a depth of 80. O78 feet. In
other words, the Pacific where
the sounding was taken was a
depth of COZ miles, exceeding
by 482 feet the greatest depth
hitherto shown.
In 1901 the United States
surveyship Nero, while studying
out a route fora cable line to the
Philippines, made a sounding
some distance to the south
east of the Island of Guam of
Al, 500 feet, which beat the
worlds record for sea depths up
to that time. This is a depth of
5.9S miles and now known as the
Nero Deep. The surprising sea
deep now discovered may ap-
propriately be named the Planet
Deep.
Doubtless the mountain heights
once equaled the ocean depths.
but the rains of thousands and
perhaps millions of years have
worn them away to fill up the
neigh )ring seas. Of course the
greatest depths are found in the
Pacific Ocean which occupies a
greater space than all the others
together. The latest theory of
the astronomers is that this
greatest Of earth's oceans is the
vast cavity which remained after
the moon. which was once a part
of our earth, was torn out and
hurled into space by some ire
mendous interior explosion.
The moon is a pretty big chunk
of our planet, as it is a little
more than 1000 miles in diane
ter. while our earth is something
over 5000, and when it was
thrown out to become a satellite,
revolving around our planet, it
doubtless carried away with it
the people who were then living
on the section out of which it
was formed. Objection has been
made to the possibility of the
survival of human beings hurled
through space at such a high
velocity. but any such doubts
are easily dissipated when we
remember that in its revolutions
around its axis our earth is
travelling at the rate of Is, 900
miles in twenty-four hours, or
over 1000 miles an hour.
In all probability, when the
moon was sent out on its excur-
sion all the land on our globe
was continuous and conjoined,
as if it were a gigantic island,
but the explosion broke and
shivered the vast body of the
land, opening enormous cracks
and gashes into which the waters
poured and made the smaller
seas, CULTS and bays which are
such prominent features on the
maps.
We may we'll imagine that
when al the land on our globe,
inclueiag what afterwards came
to be the moon, was one vast
continental area, it was a poor
place to live on, since the popu-
lation could not go any consider
able distance from the seashore
and the rivers, and therefore the
breaking up Of the land surface
into smaller bodies of land, after
the exit of the moon, brought
about much more favorable con
ditions.
Our earth is to the inhabitants

LTTRED MEN T ORESORTS.
And Then Murdered by Those Who
Drugged Them.

Revival Of rumors that a number
of murders had been committed IN
resorts In West Hammond, q suburb
Of Chicago, came Thursday ate: the
arrest OF Frances Ford, twenty, ss ac-
cesvory before the fact In connection
with the death of John Nessmaksr,
on August 13.
Tho girl made statement te Cor
oner Hoffman and Assistant County
Attorney Johnson, dealing with vice
conditions IN the village during the
rast year. Messmaksr, 1t IS said was
drrgged and a hypodermic injection
of poison was given him. The g1rl
admitted being with him shortly De-
fore he died.
In her statement she told Of bot
tie which she said always was Kept
behind the bar of saloon and which
she understood was to be given to
men under the influence OF liquo~
and suspected Of having considerable
money on their persons. Althousn
the girl admitted that she and Ness
maker drank heavily the day before
he died, she denied that she saw MIN
drugged.
Coroner Hoffman expects. a report
Saturday from chemist who Is max
ing an examination Of Messmaker 8
body for poison. The girl Is said to
have given the authorities informa-
ton against certain West hammond
resort keepers in regor. 70 white
slave traffic. It is alleged by Miss
Brooks that a score of deaths have
occurred in West Hammond resorts
that have never been explained. On
: three are of record.

LARGE SHARK IS SEEN.
Rathers at the Isle of Palms Should
be Careful.

The News and Courier says those
who 60 in swimming at the Isle Of
Palms had better look sharp during
the next week or two, or they may
and themselves falling fou! OF a
3wenty-hye foot shark. This, at least,
is the advice given by Mr.. William e.
Simmons, who on Monday while fish
ing on the Isle Of Palms near Breach
Inlet, saw a monster shark engaged
in conflict with a number OF por-
noises. Mr.. Simmons states that the
shark was far and away the largest
that he has seen In these waters.
The fin OF the big fish appeared to
project nearly Ave feet above the
surface, and the length OF the shark
itself is estimated by Mr.. Simmons
az being about twenty-five feet. Mr.
Simmons has been much on the wat
er, not only there but also In many
parts Of the tropics, ana IS very IA
niliar with sharks and their habits.
He is a careful observer and Is con-
fident that he has not over-estimated
the size Of the big fellow that he saw
of the Isle of Palms.
This being the case, 1t would be
weA for bathers as a matter OF pre-
caution not to display too much rash
ness while taking their surf baths.
Visitors from this section to the Isle
of Palms who are not desirious of be-
ing gobbled up by this monster shark
had better "hang their clothes on a
hickory limb, and don't 90 near the
waer".

GETTING AT THE FRAUDS.
Being Found Where They Were Not
Even Suspected.

A dispatch from Greenwood says
after holding three-day session this
week, following the preliminary
meeting last week, the Greenwood
County executive committee adjourn
ed Wednesday evening and forward
ed its report to the State executive
committee in Columbia.
The comittee did not give out its
findings, but It Is known that many
cases OF irregularities and some cas-
es Of fraud were found. One MEM
Der said there were clearly over one
hundred and fifty fraudulent votes
cast In Greenwood county. It Is stat
ed that the box at Grenola had "a
more votes than its poll list called
for; the box at Grendel Mills had 18
more than its poll list, and the box
at Yeldell had 10 too many. All
these were strong Blease boxes.
Some Of the county contests were
very close, and these surplus votes
would affect the general result most
vitally.
When the committee first met no
one suspected anything Of the sort,
as it was believed that Greenwood
County was free from the taint OF
fraud, cut such, it appears, Is not the
case. The committee has gone into
the matter thoroughly and exhaus-
lively; every box has been canYassed,
poll list and club rolls compared.

CONDUCTOR OUT BY FLAGMAN.
Cause of the Trouble is Not Known
by the Public.

The Augusta Chronicle says Con-
ductor R. A. Boozer of Southern pas
senger train No. Z was seriously but
probably not fatally cut Wednesday
night by Baggagemaster George W.
Jamison at a point between Summit
and L.eesville. The fight occurred
about an accident report which was
being made out, covering injuries
sustained by Jamison Monday night.
Conductor Boozer was taken of the
train at Leesville, and given medical
attention, and was later carried to
Columbia on a special. Jamison was
crrried to Lexington on the special
and lodged in jail. Jamison was com
ing to Augusta, deadhead, and Con
ductor Boozer was in charge OF the
train. Janison is the regular bag
gagemaster for Conductor Boozer,
but had secured a few days leave be-
fore leaving Columbia, 70 rest up
from his injuries.
