tried to escape, but the man stopped
him, saying:
go on, my friend, I am deeply in

"How so?" the thief inquired in
great surprise.

The Avidity With Which Plots Were
Bid For Showed It's Value
and Demand

The sale of the Arlington Planta-
ton" yesterday, at auction in small
farm plots was really a revelation as
to the great demand for farm lands
in this section and the bidding On each
plot as it was cried by the auctioneers
of the Atlantic Coast Realty Company
was spirited and unaagging while the
sale lasted.
The Argus had previously stated in
connection with this sale, that farm
lands will not be cheaper in this Sec
ton for years to come-if ever, and
the man who has opportunity of in
vesting in real estate hereabouts will
be unwise not to avail himself thereof

WIRELESS CLOCK TICKS
OVER THE SEA COMPARED.
Washington Observatory Getting Ra-
+. do Signals From EiffeI Tower.

The naval observatory In Washing
ton is now regularly receiving time sig
nails from the observatory Of Paris by
wireless teiegraphy between the Eitfel
tower and the naval radio tower at
Arlington, Va. These exchanges have
been going on every day for several
weeks. The scientific object is to
measure by the velocity Of the propa-
gagation of radio signals over the in
tervening distance the precise differ
ence of longitude between Paris and
Washington,
The complete success Of the work
had beer more or less disturbed by in
references from other radio stations
and by atmospheric conditions until
finally the beats of the Paris clock. as
transmitted by wireless. were com
pared with the Washington clock for
several minutes This is the season
Of the year when the electrical cOndi-
tons Of the atmosphere are most ia
vorable to such long distance work.
and it is now believed that the work
of the American and the French COM
missions on longitudinal determine
tons may go forward with their task.
The same signals which are sent by
the Arlington radio station for the
naval observatory are to be used by
naval photographic surveying parties
in the West Indies and Central Amer
lea.
The Washington naval observatory
was the first institution to employ ra-
photography for the transmission OF
its time signals to ships at sea to per-
NIT them to check their thermometers
and to determine more accurately their
longitude. 1t also transmitted such
signals to surveying parties under the
photographic Office to enable them to
determine the longitude of points used
as bases for surveys.
In such transmissions, however, there
was the loss Of fraction of Sec
ond between the time of starting a
signal on its journey and Of receiving
it. 1t was therefore necessary to &C.
curately measure this loss and make
allowances. This was first accom-
plished by the French scientists
through what Is known as the method
of "coincidences." The superintendent
Of the naval observatory then suggest
ed that comparisons be carried on be,
tween Paris and Washington to solve
the problem Of measuring losses.
The French government went further
than to accede to the request Of the
naval observatory that American ex-
perts be permitted to take observa-
tons in Paris. 1t arranged to send a
commission Of scientists to cooperate
with an American commission in con
Quoting the test. This dual commits
sion commenced work last April.

squares into smaller pieces and gradu-

either stuck to the knife or the cutting

not believe that there is any scarcity
OF eggs now, yet in some cities the
consumer Is paying rs cents a dozen
for them. On my farm in North Caro-
lima we put in eight acres of Irish po-
tatoes last spring We got just enough
out of the potatoes grown to pay for
the fertilizer used on them. We got
nothing for the labor. We were told
that the markets were glutted The
truth Is those potatoes were bought
by spectators, put in storage and are
now being sold in small lots at fancy
prices. The same sort of conditions
as to eggs and potatoes are true in the
case of ether farm products. In one
locality the market may be glutted.

i "On our investigating tour in Europe
we met the farmers on their farms and
examined their cooperative enterprises
and secured tremendous volume of
very valuable testimony.
"If the farmers of America will prac-
tice cooperation they will sell their
products for % per cent more than
they get for them now by offering
better stuff in better condition and in
a direct instead Of roundabout way
and at the same time reduce the cost
Of living to the average man.
"Our farmers have not learned how
to industrialize agriculture. They have
not learned how to produce twenty
eight bushels of wheat upon one acre
instead of two acres so that the other
acre can be used for pasturing live
stock; to produce bale of cotton on
one acre and thereby gain an acre or
more for clover.
"The most of the talk about over
production of farm products in this
country is tommyrot. The best Of ev-
erything will sell. The Irish farmers,
we learned on our trip, have stopped
talking politics and gone to capturing
markets. In the face of worldwide
competition they have captured the

Dass received from the priests of the
Black Caves of central India the nee
essary education in order to become a
yoga. as yoga must be capable OF
taking the fOrty-eight postures Of the
Hindu idols. Perhaps the greatest
trick consists in balancing himself on
the ends of his fingers while the whole
of his body Is in the air. Bava stated
that In order to obtain the rank of

ends of his fingers under the eyes of

A NEW LAW IN PHYSICS?
Professor Nipher Thinks II Will Row.
oIutionize Power Machinery.

oIutionize Power Machinery.
Francis e. Nipher. professor Of phys
les at Washington university. In st.
Louis. discovered what he says Is
new law In physics. which he thinks is
likely to lead to great changes In the
principles Of construction of power ma
chinery.
The alleged discovery is that on an
incline of from As to 60 degrees more
power is required to propel an object
On the surface than would be required
to lift 1t outright. The explanation is
that at an incline between the degrees
mentioned the frictional resistance
makes the load heavier than its dead
weight
Professor Nipher had been lecturing
before the sophomore engineering class
and had been using formulas. After
ward, in looking over the formulas. he
says. he found that while the resist
ance up to 45 degrees and above 60
degrees is less than the dead weight
between those points it is greater with
the maximum resistance between SO
and so degrees
He made further inquiries and found
that so far as he could discover moth
! ing had been known of the law before.
He said he had not had time to think
out the bearings Of the discovery. but
he had no doubt that ii would have a
revolutionary effect in the construction
of machinery built to overcome fric
tional resistance.
