masters of the situation. This will
no doubt rebound to the benefit of
the National grange, as it has been

FIFTH APPLE SHOW GREAT
SUCCESS.

The fifth annual apple show which
was held at Spokane last month
brought together the greatest number
of practical fruit growers which has
ever assembled in the Pacific North
est. The low prices for which apples
are selling has forced them to realize
that better selling and distribution
methods are absolutely essential for
the future success of the fruit industry
of the Pacific Northwest. No branch
of farming has received such boost
during the past five years as fruit
culture and especially apple culture.
Literally NJ illions of trees and thou
sands of acres of land have been put
into apples. 1t is shown that apples
cannot be successfully marketed in
the years OF large crops unless better
methods than now prevail are worked
out.
At the close of the apple show the
ar gest growers of the coast met and
formed plans which will no doubt re-
suit in better marketing methods.
The plan most universally recognized
as necessary was for single selling
agency to have control and it will re-
uuire a lot of education to get this
established but it will be found alb
solutely necessary. This has been
proven in the grape industry Of
Michigan. Fifteen years ago, without
organization, the grape growers were
facing ruin on account OF poor
marketing conditions.
A strong organization was formed
which for several years controlled the
situation and allowed a fair profit to
the grower. The trouble there was
that small organizations attempted
to market the crops and we're con-
stantly competing in the same market.
With one selling market agency this
could be avoided, for il one market
was over stocked the fruit could be
shipped to free market.
Last year two organizations at
tempted to sell and we learn that the
same trouble has arisen, and this
year the growers lost heavily. Both
we're dumping fruit on over stocked
markets at the same time and at an
immense loss. The same trouble
would prove true of the apple in
dustry.. If an association at Wsnat-

FIND The SECRET OF LIFE
savants Of University Of Pennsylvania
Produce Guinea Pigs With
Serum They Make.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Following up the
research experiments performed at
the Rockefeller institute in New York,
pathologists of the University of
Pennsylvania have completed series
of tests which are amazing. .s1
The scientists have found it is i'm
possible to produce animal life artifi-
cially. The work is still in the expert
mental stage, but female guinea pigs
have been impregnated by an artificial
solution, Stimulating the normal animal
secretion, and from this there has
been produced the true animal embryo
which has grown to normal size and
been born as the result Of this treat
-ment.
It was found solution of water, 80
per cent, salts 10 per cent, and an acid
similar to the malic acid that is found
in certain forms Of vegetable life,
would cause human tissues to grow.
When the fact was established, then
the men Of science were ready to pro-
coed with their comparative animal
tests. 40
Several female guinea pigs were
Isolated so as to preclude the posi-
bility of their impregnation by natural
methods. This solution was injected
and three Of the animals gave birth to
guinea pigs, but they were consider
ably smaller than those born in the
natural way. Two Of these artif1cially
produced pigs died. but one is still
living.

which contribute valuable new evil
dence, if not an entirely new theory,
upon the origin and history of races,
are being unearthed in Peru by treas
ure hunters and scientists, according
to Charles R. Keller, an American
mining engineer, who arrived in San
Francisco a few days ago from the
land of the Incas. Mr.. Keller has
just completed mining survey of
the region south of Lake Titicaca,
and while prospecting near Arequipa,
his Indian workmen discovered a
number Of small tumulii, which proved
to be the tombs Of people of an an
rient race.
The bodies had been embalmed in
the same manner as the Egyptian
mummias, and the tombs contained,
many statues and idols of immense
interest in historic anthropology. One
tomb contained the mummif1ed re-
mains of a princess IN an excellent
state of preservation. The body was
found in sitting posture, with the
feet drawn up under the thigh and
the hands folded across the breast
The body was wrapped in long cloth
Of the finest linen, in which had been
woven pictorial and hieroglyphical de-
signs. The body was adorned with
a heavy gold breast plate, necklace,
wristlets and anklets, and carried un-
der each arm a golden vase. One of
these vases was the deceased's cocoa
bowl, in which quantity of the pre-
pared cocoa leaves and lime still re-

Professor Hiram Bingham, who is
at the head of an exploring expedi-
ton from Yale university, has made
several similar discoveries, but what
Is considered more important than
the treasure recovered is the finding
of a number of idols and images
which throws hitherto unknown light
upon the customs and physiological
peculiarities of the people.
The tombs discovered near Are
Quipa, according to the archaeIogists,
were closed at least 5000 years B. G.
They belong to pre-Inca race, either
the Chiapas, Sauaseras or the Hua-
Has. Among the interesting images
brought north by Mr.. Keller, one is
of a god which bears a striking re-
semblance to the early Coptic reliefs
found at Knossus, in Egypt. This
