Sand and Gravel,

One Of the most important indus
tries in the United States Of which
comparatively little is written is the
production Of sand and gravel. In
1911, according to a report by r. F.
Burchard, just issued by the United
States geological survey, the produc.
ton of sand and gravel amounted to
8 ,S46, 959 short tons, valued at ST..
1858. The production Of sand OF
all kinds was 40,253,977 tons. valued
at $14,438, 500, and that Of gravel was
28, 592, 1892 tons valued at $~6,720,083.
The production of glass sand was val
ued at $1,457,733. an increase owe the
figures of 1910; the sand used for
building in 1911 was valued at ST.
1926, a slight decrease as compared
with 1910. This was accounted for
by less activity in 1911 in the build
ing trade, including that Of concrete
construction. The production Of mold
ing sand in 1911 was valued at $2,132,-
469, a marked decrease as compared
with 1910. The production of all 9TH

grinding and polishing, fire sand, en-
CINE sand and filtration sand, was val

Luxury Of Balloon Travel.

A Zeppelin airship leaves the earth
with none OF the balloons soaring
motion. 1t is just like a Pullman
train, started without perceptible jar
and kept in motion upon a perfect
road bed, perfect track and perfect
wheels. At luncheon time individual
tables are placed in position, and
luncheon Is served much as 1t Is in
the ordinary buffet dining a In
America. There Ia soup, an ~entree, a
toast-all piping hot-vegetables,
salad, cheese and coffee. More Of a
dinner than luncheon and all served
as though the chef and walters had
the conveniences Of q great hotel at
their command. The principles Of the
1reless cooker have been brought into
service in preparing the food, the ex.
haust from the engines being made
to supply heat.
The comforts are all those Of a very
modern hotel. The cabin Is kept at
an unvarying comfortable temperature
by mean of pipes that carry the ex.
haust heat from the engines. There
is more room for action than In an
ordinary chair car. In the l%avatories
are hot and cold water. There Is a
library with the daily papers and the
best of books. There Is a lounge for
those who are willing to sleep away
the hours of fight.-World's Work.

IN KNAPP DAY
LITERATURE ON AGRICULTURAL
DAY is RECEIVED.
Suggestions Made for Program to b
Observed at Various Schools
Throughout the State
December IL.

Jackson.-Literature making sugges'
tions for programs for the Knapp Me
mortal Agricultural Day in Mississippi,
on Dec. u, has been received ut the
offices of State Superintendent OF Edu-
cation J. n. Powers from the memorial
committee.
A great deal of interest is now being
aroused over Mississippi for this event
in educational circles, and the prospects
are that the day will be observed by
every school in the state.
One of the pamphlets, in telling OF the
objects of the day, has the following ex-
planatory paragraph:
"A double significance will attach to
the day this year. In connection with
the program of country life it is planned
to commemorate the life and services OF
DR.. Seaman A. Knapp. His teachings arc
universally known aud followed through
out the south and their value il every
where gratefully acknowledged. Among
the men of recent years who nave con
tributed ideas of vital worth to the edu'
cational development Of the south, ne
stands out prominently. His contribu'
ton was not merely to our material
wealth. But the larger returns our farm
ers are getting from their labor, time,
and money, and the great agricultural
awakening now in progress are emphat'
ically due to his intelligence, teachings
and demonstrations.
when $15O,OOO is collected for the
farm and school building $250,o00 viii
be added for endowment of the schooI
of life by the general education board
No other such institution exists. 1t will
start out with the purpose of reaching
and helping every school and farm in the
south. This institution will be a labor
atory, a clearing house, and an assem-
bling place for agricultural and educa
tional workers. Eventully it will have
demonstration schools in each state ano
county teaching its lessons. 1t will b.
a working, living memorial, but in 9
conspicuous place will also appear a life
sized statue Of DR.. Knapp.
"The state and county superintendent
of education are taking the lead in thi!
movement. It will be a worthy tribute
to a worthy man. The name OF eacl
contributor will be kept as a grateful
record"

That Imagination often lights tho
way to discoveries that would never
be made by matter-of-fact plodding
has proved true over and over again.
Illustrations of this In the history Of
chemical science are as numerous as
in other fields of discovery. In this
connection the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association calls to
mind that oxygen was merely a prin-
ciple to Lavoisier in 1777, and that
when, a century later, 1t was produced
in liquifed form "the metaphor had
become a reality" When Harvey was
writing Of the blood he wondered
whether there might not be motion,
as 1t were, in a circle, the Journal says
he expressed in metaphoric language
what only later became the fact of the
circulation which was given visible
demonstration by Malgiphi," and adds,
"the fabric of progress Is woven from
legitimate dreams to a greater extent
than the practical man is wont to
yealize or Is willing to admit"

iEe Loan,

Jacksonville board of trustees Of the
State Charity Hospital have written to
every member of the Mississippi legsla-
ture asking authority to negotiate a loan
of $1,000 to tide that institution over
until the next meeting of the Legislature.
Accompanying the letter was a sort OF
certificate to be signed by the legislator
pledging himself to vote for an apprO-
p~riation to repay a loan negotiated by
the governor and superintendent of the
hospital,
The reasons assigned for making the
loan are that the hospital has been called
upon more than it was believed it would
be. 1t is stated that unless the loan is
authorized the hospital will have to sus-
pend operations the latter part of this
month or the first of December.

MORE Than SHE COULD BEAR
Heart Of Gentle Old Maid Was
Touched, and silly Quarrel I'm
medlately Came TO an End.

Two old ladies who had been low
ing friends for many years had a vio-
lent quarrel, and it began to look al
Il the wound would never heal Mel
Their one felt like taking the initiative,
and indeed both were too lore to care
to make up. Efforts of mutual
friends were all in vain; representa-
lions to one that the other was suf-
fering met only with the stubborn an
swer that she ought to suffer. They
both insisted that they hoped the
other would suffer more, and that she
richly deserved it. Some thirteen
months went by like this, and the
one-time intimates saw each other
only on state occasions, that Is, at
church each Sunday, where they sat
side by side, too proud to change
their pew because of what had hap
pened. But they never pretended to
hnotice that the other was there. On
q recent Sabbath morning. however,
Miss Sarah glanced around ~involun-
tarily at sound of a sneeze beside her,
and despite her Will kept her gaze
fixed on Miss Malinda. Then an aw-
full revelation broke in on her mind.
Malinda had come to church with
out q handkerchief! Miss Sarah did
not know what the sufferings Of Q
person about to be e~lectrocuted might
be, but she knew all about being at
church without q handkerchief. Ma
linda merited e%lectrocution. in Miss
Sarah's opinion, but no crime was hei-
nous enough to merit such agony az
this. A drop slowly gathered on Ma
linda's pinched nose, and finally fell
of, giving place to another. Miss Sa-
rah could not bear 1t. She took out
her own handkerchief surreptitiously,
glad it was q big one. Next moment
there was q smothered sound Of tear.
ing cloth and Malinds felt something
pressed into her rigid hand. 1t was
o half Of the handkerchief, and II
went to Malinda's eyes before 1t
touched her needy nose. Then two
wrinkled old hands CROPPED for each
other, and through the sermon Miss
Sarah and Miss Malinda sat and
chung to the newly found friend who
had been lost.

ALLEGE RATES EXCESSIVE.

Tariff on furnishings.

Jacksonville Enochs Lumber and
Manufacturing Co. has filed with the
railroad commission a complaint against
all railroads operating in Mississippi,
with the exception of the Alabama &
vicksburg and the New Orleans &
Northeastern lines. The burden of this
complaint is that all the lines Other
than the two excepted charge and collect
a higher rate on builders finishing anG
general woodworking materials than il
charged on bulk lumber. 1t is commended
that the rates in effect are excessive am
unwarranted.
