Uncle Presley Morris. OF the Par.

following umhrage over Il recent
Telegram editorial expectation that
he would soon reach the mourners
bench as result of pondering over
eVangelistic sermons preached in the
nnregenerate village at the confu-
ence OF the Ohio and the Little Ka-
nawha rivers:
at might be we'll for the Clarks-
burg Telegram to come out to Par
kersburg and hear Or Lyon preach.
or course the evangelist can not he
expected 10 accomplish a great mir
acle all at once. but he might help
the Telegram some if It would fol-
low him around for couple of CEN
turles."
Iuasmuch as the Telegram is en-
gagged in the soul saving business
itself, it might be as well for DR..
Lyon to come to it instead OF the
Telegram's going to DR.. Lyon, par
ticularly at Parkersburg; but this IS
hardly feasible as the doctor would
first have to complete the job he
now has on his hands at Parkers-
burg and tat the end of
that long period Of time-as-
Stunning, OF course, that the job
is TO be done right-the editors OF
the Telegram, their heirs, successors
and assigns, will have long since
gone to Heaven; in consideration OF
which premises the Telegram is com
PEELED TO pass up the matter.

The total production o. all met
ais in the United States in 1911
was 27.S7S,2s2, O94 tons. valued at
s7ss,925,O46. In the volume OF
Mineral Resources" published by
the United States Geological Survey,
is short chapter by II. d. McCas-
key that contains a unique table, in
which for the sake OF comparison
the production of all metals is re-
duced to short tons. Thus pig iron.
with production from both do
mastic and imported ores OF 2G,04S,-
l62 short tons. valued at 1927, 1884,
C2d, is contrasted with platinum,
the production OF which was less
than ton (O.999 toni. valued at
$1,3OS,4 $50, and gold, with produc-
ton of 190,704 tons, valued at
$114.9S1,OSo.
In the several mining industries
various units are commonly en-
ployed which do not admit Of CON
venlent comparison. For instance the
production OF anthracite coal is al
ways stated by the producers in long
tons. but that of bitnminous coal is
given in short tons. Again, the
flask" (75 pounds) is the Gus
tomary unit for the measurement OF
quicksilver except where tho metric
ton is used. The troy ounce is
used for measuring the precious
metals.
As shown by the tables in this
report, the value OF the total pro
duction for 1911 vas $S6,732,5
less than that for 1910.
Another table gives the produc-
ton of domestic crude metallic ores,
and this, together with imports OF
foreign supplies treated in domestic
plants, compared with the figures of
domestic metal production shows
the sources from which these metals
are derived. The total production
OF ali ores in 1911 was l05.25O. 1872

Those who have wrestled in de-

and earlier times which still cumber mod
ern civilization. 1t Is placed In the same
category with the conglomeration of
weights and measures which still handicap
Great Britain and the United States, Dut
which have been obviated by many other
supposedly less progressive nations In their
adoption of the metric system.
Two objections have been urged against
the proposed plan. but neither OF them
seems OF very great Importance Many
people object to the insertion Of another
month In the year, but no one has yet
given n valid reason for this objection.
There would be some difficulty In finding
name for the new month, but this might
be solved when It's place In the calendar
has been determined. Professor Hesse, OF
Chill. suggests that II be inserted at the
end and receive the name of Trecember.
But this would separate Christmas ana
New Year too far. 1t would also cause all
dates in the latter part OF the year TO
shift backward a long distance. Others
have suggested that the new month be In
serted between June and July. This
would bring it In the middle OF the year.
rendering the name "Midyear' appro-
pirate AS the summer solstice In the
Northern Hemisphere would then occur In
the new month (winter sostice In the
Southern Hemisphere) the name SOL has
also been suggested. Either OF THESE

men as Professor Cyril G. Hopkins Pro-
fessor T. c. Chamberlain, Dr.. A. II. Pat
terson and Dr. Carlos A. Hesse. of Chill,
have suggested that the lengths Of the
months be changed so as TO make each
month an exact number Of weeks. This
is the most interesting suggestion yet
made If it were adopted then every month
would begin on Sunday, and the same day
OF the month, no matter what the month,
would always come on the same day of the
week. Thus, the 4th 11th. 18th and 25th
OF every month would be Wednesday. The
1st. Sth 18th, ed and 29th would be Sun
day, and so on.
Several plans Of this character have been
suggested One of them is TO divide the
year into quarters OF three months each.
the first month in each quarter contain
ing five weeks. the second and third four
weeks. 1t has also been suggested that
each of the four quarters be made to CON
sist of three months of four weeks each,
with an extra week not included in any
month at the end Of each quarter. These
weeks at the ends of the quarters are to
receive appropriate names. The names sug
gested are Easter week, Julian week. Gre
gorian week and Christmas week. The sec
ond and third OF these names are in honor
Of julius Cesar who reformed the calendar
in the year 46 B. c., and Pope Gregory
VIII, who reformed the Julian calendar in
1852
A still more interesting suggestion, first
made by Auguste Comte, a Frenchman who
died in 1857, is that of inserting a new
month in the year, thus giving thirteen
months Of exactly four weeks each. This
would make a year of ifty-two weeks. or
364 days. To keep the average length Of
the year correct either Of the two methods
already explained could be adopted. II this
calendar were adopted each Of the four
quarters of the year would consist OF
three months and one week The first
quarter would end with the first week Of
April, the second quarter with the second
week Of ''Mdyear." the new month to he

THE SIMPLEST OF ALL CALENDARS
cood for all common m onths to the end Of time.

, first month was named after Mars the
god of war: the second refers to the open
ing Of spring The third month was named
for the goddess of growth, while the fourth
month, Junius, was a common Roman given
name, probably in honor Of some friend or
the king
The month was originally lunar period
that is. the time between one new moon
and the next. The calendar of Romulus
was crude attempt to harmonze the
length of the lunar period and the length
of the solar year. but the Romans did not
know the length Of either Of these periods
exactly. The year of Romulus contained
only 3O4 days In short while April be-
gan TO come in midwinter instead of spring,
as it was intended.
Numa Pompiius, who succeeded Romu-
Ius was a religious zealot. and organized
the religious system Of the ancient Romans
into a consistent and cohesive organization
He attempted to improve this calendar so
as to insure that religious festivals depend
ing on the phases of the moon and COM
memorating important seasonal events
should always come at appropriate seasons
of the year He saw that the year OF ten
months was too short. but did not know
how much too short it was. He first tried
TO get the average length Of the year right
by inserting every other year an extra
month Of twenty-five and twenty-three
davs alternately. Later he discarded this
short month entirely and inserted two
whole months every year, between Decem-
Der and March To the first OF these he
gave the name Februarius, in honor Of the
god of publication. The Romans celebrated
