CURIOUS SINGING SAID.


Musical Notes Produced by Disturbing
Deposits In Scotland.
A lecture given at the Royal Socie-
ties club by Cecil Carus-Wilson was
devoted TO a consideration of the ex-
traordinary sands known as musical
or singing" sands. says the London
Standard
The best singing sands I'm the world
come from the Isle OF Egg. of the
coast of Scotland. and IL Is comforting
to know that whatever figure Britain
may cut in grand opera she is at least
pre-eminent when IL comes To n ques-
ton Of singing sand. But what Is
singing sand? Mr.. Carus-Wilson went
10 great pains 10 leave no doubt on
the subject, and. although his audience
contained many eminent biologists. he
asked leave 10 begin at the very be-
ginning and 10 treat his audience las
an audience OF boys"
The lecturer showed how the rocks
of which the earth is composed are
decompOsed by the action of natural
causes. chiefly the weather: how cliffs
become powders. how powders be-
come pebbles and pebbles in turn be-
come sand. In the course of time ii
occurs that Nature. that most versatile
old lady. produces a kind of sand
which has music in its soul: a sand
composed of quartz. rounded and high
! ly polished, Of uniform size and very
/ clean
And when these are agitated so as
to produce vibrations 10y means Of the
wind, by being trodden upon or by
being struck, they produce musical
notes. Such perfect deposits are found
in the Isle OF Egg. and it was by
means Of samples of the real egg va
riety that the lecturer produced musi-
cal notes.
Filling a wooden egg cup with sand
from the Isle OF Egg, he stabbed the
sand with wooden ninepin abstract
ed. he said. from the nursery at home
and produced n high musical note. The
sand behaved better in the egg cup
than in anything else. In 4 cardboard

When Not TO Use Harrow.

The harrow Is an extremely useful
implement, but there are some condi-
tons under which its use will do no
good and may do positive harm. In
an attempt 10 eradicate perennial
weeds the harrow is OF little worth, as
il will not uproot them. 1t Is also OF
little value in handling deep rooted an
nual weeds like the Russian thistle.
For the same reason the harrow will
not handle volunteer grain that comes
up from the bottom OF the furrow in II
dry season, nor will IT satisfactorily
eradicate grain that has attained some
growth. In all such cases the disk is
more yaluable.-KanSas Farmer.

FEED VALUE OF SPELTZ.
Considered Similar to Corn and Barley
but Not Quite So Valuable.

John C. Burns, professor Of animal
husbandry. Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College of Texas, College Station.
says:
IL submit herewith list Of a few Of
our common feeds for comparison with
speltz as to the amount of digeStible
nutriment in 100 pounds Of each:
Total dry matter 100 pounds of bar
ley, 49,: digestible nutrients, crude
protein, ga; carbohydrates, 65.3; fat,
1.6. Total dry matter in 100 pounds
Of corn. S9.4; digestible nutrients, crude
protein, rs: carbohydrates, 66.8: fat,
So. Total dry matter in 100 pounds Of
oats. 96.6: digestible nutrients, crude
protein, 1O.7: carbohydrates, 5O.3; fat.
3.S Total dry matter in 100 pounds Of
speltz, go; digestible nutrients, 100;
carbohydrates. 70.3; fat. 90.
THE digestible nutrients of speltz
would indicate it to have feeding
value very similar to that of corn and
barley. However. the South Dakota
station reports slightly better results
from corn and barley than from spelt2
for both fattening sheep and for dairy
| cows. The Nebraska station also re
| ports speltz 10 be somewhat inferior
| to corn and barley for fattening pigs.

DANGER TO POTATO CROP.
Foreiqn Potatoes Now Reaching This
Country Not Good to Use For Seed.

Although home grown seed potatoes
are selling at high prices, foreign
grown potatoes should not be substi-
tuted for them. The following state
ment on the danger to the American
potato crop from the use Of imported
seed potatoes Is issued by the secre-
tary of agriculture:
Europe has several potato diseases
not now known TO exist in this coun-
try, which, if introduced, might be the
means Of greatly reducing our annual
yield Of potatoes. Should these dis
eases become prevalent throughout the
United States the cost OF producing
future crops might be very greatly in
creased.
"Do not, therefore, under any cir
cumstances use foreign grown potatoes
for seed either at the north or at the
south. The sorts which are coming
to this country at the present time are
late sorts and are not adapted to plant
ing in the south, where early potatoes
are the main crop. Neither are they
adapted to planting at the north. fol-
they will not produce satisfactory
| yield
They are not adapted TO our soils oil
| 10 our climate and will not yield profit
able crops, but the danger of intro
ducing diseases not now present is SUI
ficient reason for refusing TO plan
them"

are virtually partners. but one
or the other is often too short
sighted TO understand that this
is so.
One Of the most successful manufac-
turing firms Of thirty years ago was
Stringham & Bliss, now the String
hamBliss company. Stringham start
ed the business alone and for long
while lost money steadily. There was
one man in his employ who continually
made trouble, Tom Lynch, powerful
fellow Of considerable influence In the
mills and always spelling for fight.
Lynch usually contrived to find out
when a line Of work needed TO be I'm
ished by a given time or Stringham be
stuck for a forfeit, and invariably
brought on trouble at the critical juno
ture. Stringham knew this and would
gladly have got rid of Lynch, but was
afraid to discharge him for fear he
would revenge himself in some way.
Finally Stringham's timidity and
Lynchs interference led to the clos
ing of the mills.
One day little blue eyed man who
had been one of Stringham's employees
went to him and told him that if he
would reopen the mills and appoint
him Mark Bliss superintendent he
would guarantee that all would go
peaceably thereafter Stringham told
| him that he needed more capital, which
would be forthcoming in three months.
and that he would then consider his
request to be made superintendent.
Bliss had saved $50. which he spent
in taking lessons in boxing. The mills
were reopened, and he received his ap-
! pointment. A few weeks later he an
nounced that the men would be en-
ployed and paid for overtime, as a
large contract had been secured which
must be completed with dispatch. AS
he expected. Lynch at once began TO
| foment trouble. One morning Bliss
went into the foundry where Lynch
worked and saw that the men there,
instead of being at work. were gath
cred about Lynch, who was haranguing
| them.

dressing himself to the malcontent and
ignoring the men, why are you not at

"We're considering a strike" said
Lynch. "These beggarly wages are not
