How 70 See Through Paper.

A very remarkable experiment
which any one can repeat with very
little trouble has been unearthed by a
German. Take a piece OF paper Of
such thickness that, when It is laid
upon a piece OF printed matter, the
characters Just show through, but can
not be read. Placing 1t over a printed
sheet, impart to It circular motion
TO and fro, and to your surprise you
will find that now you can read the
print below the paper.
1t is rather difficult to explain this
peculiar effect. The explanation Of
fered is that the paper has thin places
tn 1t, and by rapidly moving it over
the print, every part OF the printed
matter Is exposed in turn underneath
one or the other OF the thin places in
the paper, and thus the entire print
can be read. However that may be,
the experiment is interesting and very
simple, requiring for its performance
only the simplest means imaginable.

NOW COCA COLA REFREsHEA

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale OF Coca-C Cola has been
explained In many different ways Some
have attributed IL 10 good advertis.
ing" others TO efficient management"
others. TO its "delicioSs flavor" and still
others TO the fact that IL was the first In
the field OF "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection. the opinion OF q
manufacturing chemist who has analyz-
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. Hs
attributes the popularity OF the drink
In large part 10 its quality of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Coca Cola is practically
Identical with that OF coffee and lea
with sugar added the only material
difference being the absence OF tannio
acid from Coca.Cola. lie points TO the
laboratory experiments OF Or. Holling-
worth OF Columbia University and OF
DR.. H. G. Wood, Jr. OF Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
ieine-containing beverages (coffee, tea,
Coca-Cola. etc. relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive TO the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use OF
the latter is followed by period OF de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
ton. thus resulting In the formation OF
"habit."-Adv.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is attached 20
the condition OF the grain crops In
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands In the United States
who are financially interested in lands
IN that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing OF grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year IN
the provinces OF Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that OF last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall plowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready OF
land this spring made a considerable
portion OF the grain late in seeding
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats
barley and fax were got in in good
shape. although from a week to ten
days later than last year On the
9th OF June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally in Western
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance of generous harvest Climatic
conditions in recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indi-
cation OF a bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th TO 18th. The
'oat crop is looking well, although late
and rather short In straw"
This is followed by a report July
9th: Crop conditions continue In
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces. followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi-
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
20 anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada In 1913

In the Making Of Mirrors.

A chemical action of the ultravio-
let rays. applicable to the making OF
mirrors, was recently demonstrated
at the French Academy of Sciences
This action consists in decomposing
gaseous metallic compounds and pre-
cipitating the metal in finely divided
particles on glass to form a rejecting
surface. BY this method it is possible
to produce mirrors backed by a re-
rejecting layers of zinc, antimony and
other nonprecious metals. 1t is said
that the result compares favorably
with the silvered mirror-Popular

TO stop the Trans-American OF all

He stormed into the smoking room

low-stemmed glasses and a bottle
swaddled in a napkin.

USING SCIENCE IN FARMING
Many Farmers Imagine Modern Meth.
DDS to Be Subtle Theories,
Senseless and Useless.
Webster says science is:

Webster says science is:
knowledge; knowledge Of principles
or facts.
Many farmers have a disposition to
sneer at science in farming. They
imagine science to be a subtle theory
introduced by college professors to
dazzle and impress man with their su-
periority. but altogether senseless and
therefore useless.
But science is nothing more than
knowledge-to know. not to guess or
thcorize. 1t means proof of princi-
PIES and facts.
Science in farming is to know the
soil: how the air and moisture and
fortified work upon it; how seed are
formed, grow and ripen.
Science is to know when to pillow
and SOW and reap; how to make every
step and every swing OF the arms
count for something: how to save and
prevent waste and how to increase the
yield Of seed and animals at the least
expense.
Science means just every day horse
sense applied to everyday affairs. II
is to think and know and find out
about things by ones own experience
or by the experience Of others.

There are shipped from the country
every year s30,O00,000 worth OF plants
commonly known as weeds. These
plants for the most part grow at their
own sweet will. by the roadside. in
neglected fence corners and in the
fields owned by lazy men.

crops OF weeds will make more profit

But there ara some weeds that grow
