WORKED OVERTIME.

Some years ago when the boats
were running on the canal between
Glasgow and Paisley an lrlshman
asked the boatman at the latter place
if he would let him work his passage
to Glasgow.
The boatman Ga bit of a wag)
says: GAIL right; take and lead tho
horse"
Pat started and led the horse the
whole way. When they arrived at
Glasgow Pat said to the boatman:
"Do you call that working my pas
sage? Bedad, and I might as well
have walked it"

Strenoth Of Jet Of Water.

A factory in Grenoble, France, utfl
ICES the water of a reservoir situated
in the mountains at height OF 2W
yards. The water reaches the factory
through a vertical tube Of the same!
length, with a diameter Of consider
ably less than an inch, the jet being
used to move turbine. Experiments
have showed that the strongest men
cannot cut the Jet with the best-tem-
pered sword; and in some instances
the blade has been broken into frag-
ments without DETECTING drop Of wa.
ter. and with as much violence as a
pane of glass may be shattered by a.
blow from an iron bar. 1t has been
calculated that jet Of water a small
fraction Of an inch in thickness, NOV
ing With sufficient velocity, could not
be cut by rifle bullet.
ProIectiIe's Gain Of Speed.
Experiments with improved instru.
ments for measuring the velocity of
proiectiles have shown that the speed
goes on increasing after the missile
has left the mouth Of the cannon
Leaving the muzzle with velocity OF
1,474 feet a second, a projectile has
been observed to increase its speed
to 1859 feet q second within the first
six feet. It Is only after having trav.
eled twenty-five yards that the pro
tectile's velocity becomes reduced to
the speed It had on leaving the muz-
zle. This is ascribed to the impulse
Of the expanding gas being felt for
ONE distance beyond the cannon's

Weekly Cotton Review.

New York, Aug. 29.-The cotton
market has been very active dur-
ing the past week with prices max
ing new high records owing to con-
tinued unfavorable crop reports anu
a broadening demand for long ac-
count. The highest level was reached
on Thursday, following reports from
Washington that the cotton futures
amendment to the tariff bill would
probably be materially modified by a
reduction in the proposed tax, and
while there was heavy realizing for
over the Labor Day adjournment, the
close today was within Il or 20 points
of the best. The ontinued dry ana
hot weather in the Southwest seems
to have been largely responsible for the
reduction in estimates OF the crop.
Private conditions figures issued dur
ing the week have indicated a 1all-
ing off in the prospect OF about lo
per cent during August, thus suggest
ing a Government report at noon
next Tuesday OF between go and 40
per cent. Such condition would
compare with 19.6 last month, 'f'N
il 1912. 1872 in 1911 and a l"-year
average of 80 per cent. According
10 a statement recently publlshed ID!
Washington authorities, Il condition
OF 20 at the date of the September bu-
raau would indicate a crop OF under
10000 bales on this years cstinat"
irea of 35.G22 900 acres. Many local
nils seemed inclined to admit that

dictions of still higher prices on the
grounds that the world spinners had

Some Historic Hailstorms.

The hailstones that have been fall
ing in various parts Of England have
been compared in size with marbles,
pigeons eggs, etc. But no claim to
record magnitude Is made for any OF
these. 1t would be difficult to deter.
mine what the record is. There are
numerous pretty well authenticated
cases of hailstoDes weighing half a
pound and more, but claims far beyond
that are made. Stones of six or eight
pounds were said to have fallen at Ma
mur in 1719. The missionary, Father
Hue, records the fall in Tartary, In
1S43, Of a block Of ice as big as mill.
stone, which took three days to melt.
In May, 1902, Hungarian village re-
ported 1,100pound block, requiring
eight men to move it, and in Tippoo's
time one as big as an elephant was
said to have fallen near Seringapatam-

Common Sense From Chef.

Many housewives think that French
chefs have notions which are too
high flown to be Of use to the ordi-
nary home cook "They have so much
to do WITH" complains the home cook.
they are so used to working with
large quantities of supplies that they
know nothing of the needs OF the
home kitchen. where economy must
be practiced. Here is hint from
chef which may we'll be put in prac-
tice by any home cook. When cut
ting tarts first stamp out the rings
Roll the trimmings into ball. then
roll them into thin sheet with the
rolling pin. and stamp out the rounds
to 60 under the rings. In this way
there is no waste Of crust. Yet do not
most home cooks first stamp the
rounds and then the rings and leave
much of the trimming to take care or
itself?

Losses By Bad Roads

1T HE greatest obstacle i'll the way OF thoSe WHO ieau Ill
the good roads movement is Indifference We belize
that the real reason why the people 90 not become
enhused over the idea of spending money Tor roads IS De-
cause they do realize the benefits III the way or 'oaS
and cents If the people whole recognized tie waste

roads, whether or not they the losses Ill other ways
we believe that they would vote to man tor 'p'r'i

As examples Of the direct benefits to b" derived il1m
the building Of good roads the department q" aglIcuil"
at Washington gives several instances III circular letter
follows:
.The direct effect that changing bad roads into gcoi
roads has upon land values and marketing prices well
as fine general economic welfare of the community, Is
shown in several instances In Lee county, virginia. i
farmer owned which he offered t" sell Tor TlSoo
In 1908 his road improved. and although the farmer
fought the Improvement he has since refused $1,000 Tor
his farm nearby tract Of 1SS is said to have been
sold for $6OOO After road Improvement the same farm
was sold for $4,000 In Johnson county Alabama the peo-
pie voted bond issue $25O0O0 for road Improvement
The selling value that time So to $lo per acre Ihe
selling price is from $15 to $23 per acre:
In another state farmers living at equal distances
from cotton market learned by telephone that cotton
had gone up in price $1O0 per bale The farmer Oh the
bad road hauled one bale of cotton which all he could
get over that road The other farmer the good road
was able to haul bales. The the good road
gained 81 by the rise price, while his neghbor on the
bad road gained only $10O farmer in Sullivan county,
Tennessee had 100 bushels of Irish potatoes which he III
tended market during the winer Owing to bad roads
he was unable haul the potatoes at all They rotted III
the cellar In the meantime, the price Of potatoes at
market point went as high as $l.4O per bushel'
We might give example ourselves Take two farmers
Living on different roads about eight miles from their
one of them has-eeets than the
other and the the good road can maui
six bales of cotton whereas the other can maui bu
four Suppose takes entire day to take the cotton 10

bales TO SELL it would take the farmer on the good ROAD
but two DAYS to haul his product to town. while 1t would
