Why Is History Rewritten ?
From the North American Review.


History must be rewritten because
historians are learning to distinguish
between different forms Of the imagi-
nation and to appreciate the value OF
some of it's phases in all historical
productions. The term Imagination
has often connoted literary imagina-
tion-that form that has given rise to
the highest types Of literature found
in poetry and romance. It is self
evident that this variety Of imagina-
ton must bring discredit on every
work of history where 1t IL used
poetry scars aloft while history pene-
trates below the surface. The occasional
attempt to use literary imagination in
historical literature has led to the hasty
condemnation OF every form Of the imag.
ination. At times even the use of the
historical Imagination has been condemn.

those Of Macaulay and Motley, have sue.

Of life. II, Is in large part due to this
form Of imagination that the historical

Night and Day Farming.
From the Los Angeles Times.

Farming at night is the innovation just
introduced by e. w. Fowler. who lives
twelve miles west Of Lodi. Cal. Fowler
has two crews Of six men each. and has
been blowing night and day.
Immense searohlights are attached to
the plows, and the laborers declare that
they can see at night almost as well as
during the day. An incongruous feature
Of the work il that when the night crew

acres Of barley. and resoFted to the novel
scheme of working twenty-four hours a
day in order that he may get the grain

A new type of churn has been pat
ented by an Illinois man. In this type,
instead of the churn body standing
still and paddles operating In it, the
churn body revolves rapidly and the
paddles also are active. A barrel or
box, forming the churn body, is revo-
lubly mounted in supporting frame.
BY means of handle the barrel can
be revolved on its axis. At the oppo.
site side from the handle is a gearing
that operates paddle blades inside the
barrel. Consequently, when the ham
die is turned the churn body revolves
in one direction and the paddles are
set in operation in another direction,
thus making two actions at the same
time and churning the contents of the
barrel just twice as fast as it could be
churned with only one movement.

standing by table on which was an
open tin box full of papers. She show
