Agree to Proposition.

The New York Yacht club respond
ed July IL, agreeing to increase the
time limit to six hours, and announc-
ing that the same principle of varia-
ton of measurement applies to both
yachts. 1t was added that the con
ditions provide that the load water
line of the challenger shall never ex-
coed seventy-fve feet, and the deed Of
gift limits the defender to ninety feet. "
In a cablegram on July 10, the Roy II

Sir Thomas Upton assumes thai
your reference to your right to bui,d
ninety-foot defender does not i'm

ninety-foot challenger. A contest be-
tweent yachts of unequal size would be
wasted and unsatisfactory. Sir Thomas
understands and appreciates tn.
grounds on which the New York Yacht
club desires to keep alive the right
to defend with a yacht of greater
length than the challenger, but is con-

of farmers and young men whose forefathers
have always looked down upon manual work, and
issues popularity written literature for the enlight
enment of the agricultural classes, also are ex-
erting their Influence TO persuade the cultivators
all over British India to make use of modern inn
plements. Many Of the native states, too are fol-
lowing the example of the British administrations
and carrying q similar propaganda for the
enlightenment of the agriculturists This is espe-
cially true of Baroda and Aysore, two of the
largest territories under native rule 1t is quite
natural therefore that the demand for farm
chinery should be growing.
Since most Indian farmers are exceedingly poor
and cannot offhand afford expensive implements.
they have taken to clubbing together, sometimes
many as ten of them combining their resources
to buy reaper; and in many instances they are
not satisfied with this machine alone, but indulge
in improved machinery of other descriptions. In
the central provinces agricultural associations
have been formed to interest the tenantry in the
use of upsto-date ffrS:h ods This means India
salvation: for the implements now muse on the
land are of the crudest character imaginable. The
pillow is nothing more than crooked stick with
blunt piece OF iron fastened TO the point The
handle stands up at right angles and by this the
primitive share is laboriousIy guided it is
dragged through the hard-baked earth by the pa
tent buliocks. The cultivating is done with
shorthanded hoe, which can be used only when
the worker is sQuatting his heels, and he wad-
dies along at his task without rising. The corn
is cut by hand sickle and threshed out by the
old-fashioned method of driving oxen over and
over it. The winnowing is done by pouring the
grain out Of small baskets held high above the
head by man, either standing the ground
a sort of step-ladder, the wind blowing away
the light chaff while the corn falls in heap be-
low. Fodder is cut into shreds with small
hand-knife Water is drawn from shallow wells
or rivers or ponds, sometimes by Persian
wheel operated by two oxen, sometimes
by hand sometimes by baskets let down and
quickly drawn up and emptied into shallow,
channel which conducts it to the field.
In view of all this, the adoption of modern nipple
ments is move in the right direction.

HOW SOME WORDS ORIGINATE
Construction of Language as Much a
Piece of Carpentry as Building
of Ordinary House.


Word building is as much a piece of
carpentry as is house building. Only 1t
takes longer. Sometimes a century or
more. And by that time the words
first meaning is usually changed
For example. the old word for
'neighbor' was "sib." Ones good
neighbor was known as ones good
sib." This became shortened to god
sib,' and later to gossip. Then the
words whole meaning changed and
gossip no longer meant good neighbor,
but applied to the sort of talk ex-
changed between good neighbors.
Take the word farmer, too. The
old word for farmer" was "boor. .
land Door later was used for de-
scribing farmerlike or rough persons.
The farmer living nearest to one was
known as the .nighboor.' and this
phrase, in couree of time. was twist
ed to .neighbor.
You've heard the proverb. Little
pitchers have big ears" Well, it
doesn't refer to the utensil that holds
water CT goes to the corner side door
Pitcher was slang term with
some such meaning as our word
chap" or fellow" Thus, Little fell
lows have big ears" Is a more sensi-
Bile rendering OF the proyerb.

SAFETY DURING STORM

The question of personal safety during thun-
der storm is perhaps the most interesting to the
majority of people If in building which is iso-
lated in the open country or is higher than sur
rounding buildings in group avoid chimney or
other fiues. open windows or drafts, especially
warm currents Of air directly below high tower
or flag pole, peak or angle of the structure is
the warning given by the writer in the New York
Sun. Keep away from overhead wires entering
building-although these are generally protected
by lightning arresters the currect is not always
arrested"
If in the open avoid trees. wire fences or poles,
and If you happen to be the most prominent OBJ
ject in the landscape. as in open field or on
beach, do not raise steel rod umbrella, or. in
fact. any umbrella, you may become living

ton If you should happen 10 be caught in such
open space with lightning discharges coming
close, may be determined by the lessening in
tervals between flash and report II is better to
lie fat on the ground and risk soaking than to
offer possible path for discharge The reason
for this is that the body, being warm, offers bet
ter conductor than the surrounding air. and only
few feet rise is necessary to attract lightning

Questions as to the action of lightning striking
a building ara frequently asked. and are some
what difficult to answer without going into a
lengthy discussion of the various kinds of dis

nical nature. Let u.s. however take the most
frequent case, that OF the ordinary ''forked light

this is the fact that fell work has been done by
the bubonic plague, and the population has been
ruthlessy thnned out. AS result there con
stantly is dearth of aborers,, especially at har

CHINESE FIRST TO USE TEA
How the Custom Originated Is Told
In Legend Dating 1900 Years Be-
fore Coming of Christ.

The Chinese claim to be the first
users of tea as a drink, and how 1t
originated is told in a pretty little
legend that dates from 1000 years be-
fore the coming of Christ.
A daughter of then reigning SOW
ereign fell in love with young noble
man whose humble birth excluded
him from marrying her. They man
aged to exchange glances, and he oc-
casionally gathered a few blossoms
and had them conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met and the young man en-
deavored to give her a few flowers;
but so keen was the watchfulness Of
her attendants all she could grasp was
a little twig with green leaves.
On reaching her room she put the
twig In water, and towards evening
she drank the water in which the
twig had been kept So agreeable
was the taste that she even ate the
leaves and stalks. Every day after
wards she had lunches of the tea
tree brought her, which she treated
In the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form
of fiattery, the ladies of the court tried
the experiment and with such pleas
ing results that the custom spread
throughout the kingdom-and the
great Chinese tea industry became a
fat accorpli.

pressure is great that the slight decrease in
resistance offered by such object is sufficient to
cause the current to Jump the intervening space

no violent or explosive discharge
Here is where the function of the lightning rod
appears. similar to pipes tapping the tank and
drawing OF the water before dangerous pressure
is brought to bear on the tank properly con-
structed lightning rod will, in the vast majority
of cases act in this manner by silently discharg-
ing the current from cloud to earth thus pre-
