Flowers From Cold Storage.

The rXpOrtatiO ion of refrigerated plants from China to France has met with much success. The least success has been had with viOlets and roses. Other flowers kept in cold storage now find their way to European markets in d state of perfect preservation. The Horticultural Society of Paris has recently received peonies from the Orient in excellent condition, though they were cut three months ago.

Where Miles. Are as Dust.

Surveying the billions of miles to star would be an impossible feat to the ordinary person, who is, perhaps, not a mathematician. Even the astronomer may make a mistake of a billion miles or so.
 The first requisite is basis of calculation. For this, the astron- |onler takes the spot where his ob- servatory stood in the month of March and it's place in Septcm- Der. It is the same location on earth, of course, but in celestial space--the earth having travelled distance is iSG, 5000, ,OOO miles. With this as the base of a tri- angle, the astronomer, by a sim 1 pie calculation, computes the Op- ening of the angle where the star is situated, and then finds the distance to the earth; that is, he could do so accurately if the lS6,- 000,000 miles were prOportion- ately long with the two other sides of the triangle instead of being almost inadequately short. Some iGea of the method may be gained from it's employment for land-measuring. The distance $o a mountain top is desired. The surveyor lays off few hundred Yards on the ground, finds the angles at which straight lines proceed from this basis of meas urelnent to the mountain top, and solves the problem easily. To as certain the distance to the moon, a very long line is needed; one drawn between two Observatories will do--not along the earth $ surface, which is round, but the straight line through the earth. from observatory to observatory. With this line, a triangle is drawn with the moon at the verteX. and the stellite found lo be 2i0.OOO miles away.
 In making a triangle with d star, astronomers have had re- course to the longest line pos sible to carthlings--between the aforementioned points located by the extremes of the earth's orbit If a star were only trillion miles foff, a 186, O,0O0-mile shaft in the position of the earth would afford quite an advantage for a look at the other cheek, yet it makes hardly an appreciable dis tance in the relative position with the nearest star, Alpha Centauri 26 trillion miles beyond.
 l Now, the arc of circle is di- vidcd into 3GO degrees, each sub |divided into 50 minutes, and the minute into 60 seconds. So there are i,296,00O seconds in a circle lThe angle that Alpha Centauri frfakes is less than the mifliOntll fpart of circle: it is about three quarters of a second of the arc
 Imagine the angle, a line drawn from the star to earth in March another line from the star tO the earth in September. Thel base of this triangle is l86, 6,OO0,O ,O00 miles, which constitutes less than tthe millionth part of circle in measurement of the angle where shines Alpha Centauri. This is hard to detect with the finest of mathematical instruments. and that is why he distance to even the nearest star is a veXing prob lem.

DAeLUM And BElFlELD
TO have new SCHOOLS

County Superintendent of Schools, C.
E. Ward and Architect Gillespie of
Fargo made trip to Daelum recently
preparatory to the final drawing up of
plans and specifications for the new
school building to be located there.
Early last spring the people in the Dag
lum township voted consolidation.
Architect Gillespie has been retained
to draw up plans and superintend the
erection Of the building, which will
have four rooms all on the ground floor
and full basement equipped for man
ual training and domstic science rooms.
The present school building at Bel
field will be. remodeled and a four
room addition made to it. The re-
modelling and additions will make it
one of the most complete grammer
and high schools in the county. The
property when remodeled will probably
be worth fully $40, 600. The BelReld
work will also be, in charge of Mr..
Gillespie and it Is HEpected VIII begin
the first thing in the spring.

crease yisla IS psr cent.

There has been considerable interest
in the results of trials with Swedish
pedigreed proved barleys. that have
been carried on at the Dickinson ex-
pertinent station. As a result of sew
eral years. trials. the Hannchen and
Swan Neck barleys have been found to
outyield the ordinary 6.rowed and the
hulless barleys over As per cent. Dur.
Ing some of the years the new barleys
have doubled the yield Of the common
sorts. Supt. L. r. Waldron early recoe-
nized the probable value of these new
barleys and made distribution of seed
to some good farmers few years aeo
and as result there is now something
like 1000 bushels of seed of these two
barleys availale for distribution.
Over 400. 600 acres of barley are grown
annually in the western two thirds of
North Dakota, where these two barleys
are best adapted. If this area were
sown exclusively to these varieties it
would increase the total output of barley
in North Dakota something like 2, 1000, :
600 bushels.

pany. The K. p. Insurance order is a

the company inserted a 36-mo. sai-
eide clause in all policies and. in ac-
cordance with their rules. declined to
pay death claims where suicide was
shown. Since that time the company
has changed its rules to conform with
those Of other companies. which, in
most cases, is 12-mo. clause. North
