Modern Garden Implements Save

CAV BESSIE Z. PUTNAM.)

(By BESSIE i. PUTNAM.1
We recently passed place where
market gardening II being carried On
for the first time. There were acres
OF vegetables Of various sorts and
quite force Of men, women and chill
dren at work.
But the surprising part Of the thing
was that it was all hand labori Per
haps earlier in the season the one
horse cultivator was used; but the
plants had got past this stage, and In
many places the same could be said
Of the weeds.
There were long rows Of onions
freshly and laboriously hand-weeded.
while many other rows were waiting
their turn and in one place plot sew

doned to the weeds.
A good wheel hoe and half the la

condition, while as It was, part was
clogged with weeds while the gang

The frequent stirring Of the soil
would have done more toward keeping

EDUCATION NOT ALL MENTAL
Man Who Could Not Swim Is Refused
Diploma by Authorities at the
Columbia University.

The authorities at Columbia univer-
sity have refused to award diplima
to a senior who has not learned to
swim the length of the pool In the
gymnasium. A few years ago such
action would have been deemed abb
surd. There are those who are unable
to swim the length Of gymnasium
pool and a students qualifications for
degree OF bachelor Of arts, says the
st. Paul Pioneer Press. They are the
people who believe that the only bene-
fit to be derived from attendance at
college Is obtained from books. The
requirements imposed at Columbia Ia
an indication of the more practical
turn that is being given to educational
effort In recent times.
While most boys learn to swim with
out the aid Of college or even common
school instruction. there are few
things acquired In university Of
more practical value. Every one not
physically disqualified should be mod
erately proficient in the art of keep
ing afloat In the water. It Is simple
thing, easily learned and should be
part of the education of even grade
school children. Columbia Is setting
a good example in Withholding d.
ploma from man who cannot swim.

ROPE TRICK IS AExPLAiNED'
e,o,I.h Writer Makes Explanation Of
Cunning Artifice-Doss Not Ap-
pear Conciusive.

The Indian rope trick. which no one
who has seen it performed has ever
satisfactorily explained. Is explain
ed by ]. N. Maskelyne. an EnSasn
writer.
Mr.. Maskelyne dismisses the trick
az follows: Indian conditions OF az
mosphere are necessary to the sue
cess of the trick. The spectators face
the setting sun and are sheltered
from 1t by an awning. The rope used
is evidently jointed bamboo with the
Joints made to lock. Up this rope
or pole boy climbs to q height OF
about 80 feet or so, till out OF sight OF
the people. Then he disappears" as
though into space.
What really happens, Mr.. Maskelyne
explains, is that the spectators are
blinded by the setting sun and that
the boy climbs up the pole or rope and
then drops quickly to the ground. Be
fore the astonished onlookers know
ANYTHING about 1t he Is covered up
with sheet.
This is the most ingenious attempt
at an explanation Of the trick yet
made, but it will not appear conclusive
to all who have witnessed the per-
Torrance. The trick has been witness
ed at Khandalla-a hill station near
Bombay-and again at Delhi at mid
day, without any awning being used or
any effects but the rope.

Then the look OF the grounds, espe-
cially when one is public patronage, is
worth considering. and crop where
the weeds are evidently getting the
start on the one side, while the work
ers are wedding them out on the other,
shows that something is wrong.
To one accustomed to the use Of
the wheel tools in gardening the con-
dition seems not to be simply wasteful,
but plentiful The extra hand labor
would buy the necessary implements
In q week.
Yet, here were people who would
plod all summer, more probably
through lack Of appreciation that there
Is better and easier way than
through false economy.
The fact comes. with a double en-
phasis when one realizes that compe-
tition In farming as well as In any
other occupation, demands the best
methods and the best tools.
The gardener who neglects to avail
himself Of the improved implements is
wasting time, energy, land and money.
