SEEING Distances.

About 200 miles In every direction Is
the distance a man can see when stand
ing on a clear day on the peak Of the
highest mountain-say at a height of
26,66S feet, or a little over FIVE miles
above the level Of the sea An OBJ
server must be at a height of 6,667
feet above sea level to see objects at a
distance Of a hundred miles. The dis
lance In miles at which an object upon
the surface of the earth is visible Is
equal to the square root of n and
one-half times the height Of the OBJ
server I'm feet above sea level. Some
allowance has to be made for the ef-
feet of atmospheric refraction, but as
the ~refraction varies at different heights
and Is affected by the various states Of
the weather no precisely accurate fig
ures for general purposes can be given.
Probably from one-fourteenth to one
tenth Of the distance given by the
formula would have to be deducted
owing to the refraction Of the atmos-
phere.

A Solemn Dance.

They have a singular kind OF dance
conducted on the green's Of country VII

apart, a knot of young men here, a
knot Of maidens there, each sex by it.
self and silent as a crowd Of mutes. A
piper breaks into a tune; a youth pulls
of his cap and challenges his girl with
a wave and bow. II the girl is willing.
she waves her handkerchief In token Of
assent. The youth advances, takes a
corner Of the handkerchief in his hand
and leads his lassie round and round.
No word is spoken and no laugh is
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids, the girl moves heavily by her
self, going round and round and never
allowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning On for hours in
the same sad key and measure, and
the prize Of merit in this "circling," as
the dance is called, is given by specta-
tors to the lassie who in all that sum-
mer revelry has never spoken and new
er smiled.

The Busy Bee.

1t is mighty comforting, these cold,
cherries days, to know that the bees
have plenty Of stores, are strong In
number and are properly packed for
the winter.
In bottling extracted honey heat 1t
up to about 100 degrees and hold 1t
there for about two hours, as this will
In a large measure prevent its granu-
latlon. Print on the label: "All pure
honey IL liable to granulate. Setting
the glass Jar in hot water for an hour
or 30 will liquefy It"
The natural honey left In the hives
for the bees winter supply is the best
food, but the preparation of artificial
sweets In the form Of sugar candy or
honey candy should be understood by
every beekeeper. The plain sugar and
water candy, made from boiling gran
ulated sugar with a little water. is thu
usual preparation to serve In emergen-
cies.
In buying hives get either the chaff
or double air space ones, for, though
they cost a little more, they insure per-
feet outdoor wintering without the
bother Of special packing in the fall
or the tiresome work Of carting the
bees in and out Of the cellar twice a
year, to say nothing of the fact that
bees outdoors are able to take advan-
tage Of an occasional cleansing flight

Turnips Valuable For Swine.

Roots, among which turnips are
classed, are quite generally considered
to be a very valuable feed for swine.
They are about nine-tenths water and
consequently they cannot be used ex-
clusively or even In very large quaint
ties, especially to fattening hogs. Cook
ing will improve turnips for ~fattening
hogs because 1t takes out considerable
of the water. AS a part Of the ration
they make a very valuable feed for
swine Of all kinds, especially in win
ter, and are well worth the trouble Of
gathering and preparing for the hogs.

 Little Rock.-The Pulaski county grand jury has returned another in- dictment in the case growing out of the theft of large number of su- .preme court reports from the state library. Herbert DaVal, a well known young attorney of Little Rock, was in- 'dicted and the jury returned an in dictment against another party who is not yet in custody. The indicted person was connected with the secre- tary of states office in a minor ca. pacity for several years. As soon as a bench warrant for his arrest, which was issued is served, his name will be made public. It developed in the grand jury hearing that the theft of valuable books from the state library has been going on for number of years, and were it not for the fact that the statute of limitations ran against number of the offenses. several other indictments would be returned by the grand jury.
