hit by the buck ague, he came to
dead stop in his tracks-something
like a pointer comes to a full stop
and points game. He was enthralled.

He was plastered against one of the

A six cylinder machine, going at
really moderate gait had lunged in
to him.
Bystanders who had witnessed the
play dashed quickly to his assistance.
He beat them to it." Swiftly he
scrambled to his feet. With one jump
he recovered his hat; with a light
ming stroke he pulled down his coat,
which had covered his head in transit.
He wasn't hurt, a bit. But scared!
Before kindly help reached his side
one long, continuous streak spoke Of
his disappearance down toward union

Good Roads

The Toulouse has become one OF
the Important adjuncts to the modern

Only in rare cases do cutworms
bother crops that are planted on fall
plowed land.
Alfalfa under congenial surround

A coat of manure put on the garden

Hot bed sashes are usually three

Seed corn is an expensive luxury IL
placed where the birds, poultry, mice
and rats can get it.
1t is quite common to SOW buck
wheat, especially on poor land, as

A good time now to haul and spread
manure on the vegetable garden SO
that winter rains can do their part.
Gardens infested with cut worms
may be helped by keeping the land
free from vegetation all fall and burn

Seed potatoes stored in the cellar
should be kept in as light place as

COAL RESOURCES OF TEXAS

The United States Ge logical Sur
vey's estimates of the coal areas Of
Texas show that the bituminous
fields known to contain workable
coal over 8,20' square miles, and
that $500 square miles. not so well
known. may contain workable coal.
The known Ignite areas cover 1000
square miles, and there are $1,000
square miles, extending from Sabine
and Red rivers on the east and north
to the Rio Grande on the south
west. which may contain workable
beds Of Ignite. The estimated
original supply of bituminous coal
in Texas is placed at 5000. 900, 900
short tons and of Ignite at 23,000.-
600. 900 tons. making a total of 81 :
600, 100000 tons as the original
supply. From this there had been
mined to the close Of 1910 total of
20 056,94l short tons. which repre-
sents an exhaustion of approximate
ly 100000 tons. the exhaustion
being one tenth Of l per cent of the
original supply. The supply left in
the ground at the close of 1910
would be equal to $4,000 times the
production of that year.

WHAT ENGLAND FEARS
STARVATION RATHER THAN IN
VASlON IS ITS DANGER.
In Case of War the islanders Food
Supply Might Be Exhausted In
Few Months.

With ships bringing foreign food
supplies into England at the rate of
f434 worth every minute of every
day in the year Great Britain cannot
accumulate a stock of provisions large
enough for a years supply, some ex-
perts say not enough for half a year.
Others doubt If We could hold out
for three months without foreign sup
plies" says the Queen, and all agree
that three weeks war, or even threat
of war, would enormously increase
the price of foodstuffs. In the Or
binary way the proportion of food
and drink brought over the sea is
over AZ per cent of our total imports,
being in round figures E250. 000, 900
out of a total of $3.50, OOO. 900. OF this
sum 10000, 900 goes for grain and
-four alone. and nearly fifty millions
for food and drink not otherwise speci-
fed, and excluSing fifty millions for
food. drink and tobacco subject to
duty.
What We as q nation have to fear
Is not invasion but starvation. To the
great mass of the people OF this coun-
try the question rs not Shall we win
or lose In war? but, shall we have
enough food to live on when the next
big war comes?' It Is to meet such
a emergency that the use In this
country of silos for grain. or national
granarles, has been advocated.
The cost Of creating and maintain
ing silos might be considerable,
though we suppose the cost Of a single
dreadnought would easily cover 1t;
but as an insurance against panic it
would well be worth the expense.
while as a safeguard in time Of war
and against imminent famine 1t would
be invaluable, and might easily turn
defeat into victory and disaster to
safety.
Gibraltar is provisioned for two
years and Malta has silos which keep
corr good for as long as foul years.
thus supporting the truth of the Bib
ncal statement that Joseph in the dry
climate of Egypt fed the people with
cor stored for seven years. The idea
is the gradual collection Of an amount
Of wheat equal to one years import
and its automatic renewal by exchang-
ing 1t for the new grain as it arrives
at the different ports"

The Because Man.

Suppose everyone did just what he
intended to do and no n failed be
cause" Then there would be no fail
ures to point out. There would be no
subjects for sermons for those who
had no because" attached to their
names. The man without the title
could not point to the because" man
and say: He did not succeed be-
cause" So the because" man may
take heart and feel that because he
did not he is surely at last the sub
Jet Of this sketch. True he did not
scale the rugged wall. nor climb to
heights unseen" by the masses who
are also other because men.
Most Of US are because" men. We
yearn for the unattainable; we feel
that life is . failure. But maybe the
realities are dreams Of callow youth
did not come nearer the dreams than
We think. Maybe the awakening will
show that the because" men climbed
higher than they thought and maybe
the Judge will show those who stood
on the heights that the clouds are
we'll worth striving for but IN the
depths there is some sunlight" But
the man should never have because"
as An excuse.

Photograph Burned Manuscript.

The processes of color Photography
have recently been applied to obtain
q legible photograph of the writing
on burned manuscripts which were un-
readable by any other known means.
AS long as the sheet has not been en-
tirely disintegrated positive results
can be obtained every time.
The charred manuscript is carefully
arranged, in as neal its original shape
as possible. on a sheet Of glass, and
covered with a drying varnish, after
which it is backed by another sheet
of glass.
BY using carefu'ly-selected color
Greens and orthochromatic plates a
perfectly legible photograph of the
writing may be taken, although there
may be no marks on the charred re-
mains that are visible to the eye.
This is the only known method that
will give results when the writing
has been made with vegetable inks.
Ordinary photography can be used
successfully when the ink contains
aniline or iron In its composition
