U. S. GETS PISGAH FOREST.
Tract Of 5000 Acres Bought From
Vanderbilt Estate For $433, 500.

Tract Of 5000 Acres Bought From
Vanderbilt Estate For $433,50o.
The national forest reservation CON-
mission has approved the purchase Of
the Pisgah forest in North Carolina
from the estate Of the late George w.
Vanderbilt ut an average price Of IS an
acre. There are SG,7O0 acres. and the
total cost is therefore $433, 800.
Mrs. Vanderbilt offered the tract at
a much lower figure than that at which
1t was held by her husband. He con-
served Pisgah forest from the time he
bought it up to his death. period of
nearly twenty-five years. under the
conviction that every forest owner
owes it to those who follow him to
hand down his property to them unim.
paired by wasteful use. His widow
sympathizes with his belief that pri-
vate ownership of forest land is a pub.
lie trust and that its ownership by the
nation will alone make its preservation
permanent and certain.
In accordance with Mrs. vanderbilt's
desire the national forest reservation
commission will retain the name of
Pisgah forest. 1t is proposed to make
It a game refuge for the preservation
Of the fauna Of the eastern mountains
With this purchase and others the
total area approved for purchase un-
der the Weeks law in the eastern
mountains 10 LOTT 900 acres.

VISIONS IN THE EYES.

Why Il Does Not Appear Absolutely
Dark When You Wink.
When person winks his eyes be mo.
mentarily covers the entire eyeballa
and everything therefore should turn
absolutely black and be In total dark
ness for the Instant. As a matter of
fact, be certainly is In total darkness.
but he Is unconscious Of same.
The reason he Is unconscious IL that
the eye Is Incapable of removing a Ger.
tain view from itself until an eighth of
a second has elapsed. So the view seen
just before the bali goes into eclipse
continues to be seen for an eighth Of a
second. But as the eye Is not covered
BY the lid as long as this. a new view
arrives to supplement the old view be-
fore the old one has vanished Thus
the darkness Is not noticed. although
there is no doubt that It exists.
This same peculiarly of the eye en-
ables moving pictures to have their be
Ing. It also is the reason why a lighted
torch whirled rapidly around shows a
path instead Of a sequence Of torches
Also why rapidly rotating wheel does
not show its spokes. n snapshot be
taken Of such wheel 1t does show the
spokes. however. and proves the above
fact Of persistence. Or II the wheel be
viewed by lightning fash 1t shows

A great many housewives have had
trouble in making rich, light, moist mullins
without their falling, and to overcome this,
they have resorted to making tho batter 30
stiff that when baked, the mullins arc very
dry. A muffin can be made almost as
light and just as palatable rs a pop-ovcr,
but to make light, moist muffin which is
not soggy in the center, double-ra;se
baking powder such as X G must be used.
X c Baking Powder has two separate and
distinct raises: one when moisture is
added, and the other when heat is applied,
80 that the raising is sustained until the
muffin is baked through, and all danger of
falling and becoming soggy is past.
Like biscuits, the softer the dough goes
into the oven, the lighter the mullins that
come out of it.

MORMON TEMPLE IN CANADA
FIRST ON BRITISH SOIL
Work WeiI Under Way on $500, 900
Structure at Cardston, Alberta.

Work on the first Mormon temple on
British soil is now well under way Mt
Cardston, Alberta, the Mormon cen.
ter for Canada. The structure will be
of granite from the Rocky mountains
OF British Columbia. Machinery val.
ued at $4,000 has been installed on
the temple ground and cutting will be
done there as fast US the rough mate
rial can be delivered. As each stone
Is cut and dressed it will be placed in
the wall.
The structure will cost at least $780,.
600. This money will come mostly
from tithing sent to headquarters at
Utah. and the contractors hsyA4e~ns- |
Szrance 81 the church that all money
noded will be forthcoming when ask

Of the business fairs Of the Mormon
church throughout the world. W. have
direct control Of the work, but will not
be on the ground. A local inspector
and superintendent of construction will
direct the local activities.
The Church Of Jesus Christ of Lat.
ter Day Saints has no temples at pres
ent outside Of the state Of Utah, where
the great Salt Lake temple stands. The
Salt Lake temple cost $4.0O0,OOO and
was forty-five years in building. The
other Utah temples, Manti. st. George
and Logan, cost all told about $3.O0O.-
600. Material at the time they were
erected was very costly and transpOr-
'tatiOn difficult. 1t is stated by the au-
thorities that as good building can be
done today for about onethird Of the
cost. So 1t would seem that the Cana
dian temple will compare favorably
with any Of the Utah structures out
side Of the Great Salt Lake temple.
There are in Canada today close to
10000 MOrmons. and the CardstOn tenn
pie will be for their own use. Nor

who are much nearer to the interna-
tional boundary than the state Of Utah
will also have the Canadian temple as

LIFE OF A SIBERIAN EXILE.
One Political Offender Who Lives In
Comparative Luxury.

Comparative Luxury.
How political exile lives in Siberia

beria." Mr.. Price encountered this ex-
lie at Minusinsk. He and his family

punishment seems to consist of GER

should be sitting In company with
two members of high Russian society,

stranger still to partake Of their intel
ligent conversation ON topics of human
interest.

what sort Of restrictions were placed
upon the exile's liberty. found that
he was not allowed to leave the dis
trict in which he resided and that ev-
cry week he had to sign bis name In

life was free. He had money, and he
could live as he liked and 60 where he
wished within that district, but he was
continually watched by spies. who
logged his footsteps wherever he went

quired gold concessions on the Mon.

Mexico

When that thy poor have cried. what
Caesar wept
In sorrow and amaze al their distress?
Who of thy crafty rulers rose to bless
Thy land exploited and the hearth I'M
swept?
In hopeless woe thy peon children crept
Illiterate in shame and nakedness;
The few amassed. the many in duress,
Rapine aroused. while sluggish justice
slept.
Now gaunt guns nose their muzzles at thy
gates.
The tyrants and oppressors crouch In fear
At last o'ertaken by the offended fates.
Is 1t the breaking dawn Of freedom near?
Peace will come wearing her sweet olive
wand,
Lorn torn, swart sister by the Rio Grande.

INFlNiTUDE OF SUNS.
Those W. Know Are az Nothing to
Those Beyond Our Ken.

Those We Know are AZ Nosn'n0 70
Those Beyond Our Ken.
The photographs of 25.S16 standard
plates show the points, or Images, OF
lOO,OOO,OOO suns. These have not been
actually counted, but plates secured by
exposure In telecameras to typlcai
regions Of the sky have, and the entire
number has been subjected to the cal
culus of probabilities, resulting In the
general number Of 10O,OOO,0OO colossal
suns.
These have been weighed-that Is,
their combined force Of gravitational
attraction has been computed. This
led to one Of the most overwhelming
overwhelmingly, this entire pull OF
attractions Of the quantity OF matter
in 1OO,OOO,OOO suns as massive as our
own sun could not even begin to I'M
part the high specific speeds OF several
well known RUNAWAY" suns. These
are dashing through what has been
named space with velocities so much
greater than all other suns that they
are a class by themselves.
Our sun contains 1893, 426 times more
matter than is In the earth, and this
multiplied by 1OO.OO0OOO reveals the
quantity Of matter known to exist, be-
yond all human Imagination. But this
immense mass may almost be ignored
as a mere fraction in comparison with
the gigantic quantity necessary to i'm
part a velocity Of from $50 to 200 miles
er.second to these suns flying athwart
the sidereal universe.
Let the number of these suns or dark
bodies run up to trillions or octillions'
then the entire quantity Of matter in
all of them would be less than the
weight of one grain Of sand If com
pared to an Infinite quantity Of matter

Some Hclofui Suggestions


Mullins would be served On many moro
breakfast tables if this meal were not
prepared so hurriedly that there is not timo
enough to stir up mullins and bake them.
With X G double-raise baking powder, tbs
batter may be stirred up the night before
and if set in a cool place, it will remain
in partially leavcned condition al night.
and the raising will be completed when put
in the oven in the morning. No difference
viii be noticed between mullins mixed the
night before and those mixed Immediately
before baking. This should not be
attempted however, with any of the old
fashioned single-acting baking powders.
The old fashioned way was to bake
mullins in a hot oven, but this makes a
thick heavy crust and soggy center.
which is uapalatable and hard to digest.
The proper and hsalthful way to bake
mullins is to start the oven at low
temperature, just as for baking -cakcs.
When the mullins come up to the top Of the
pan, the heat should be raised, and they
should be baked until a crisp crust is
formed. This crust will be thin, and the
centers will be found light and fluffy. but
thoroughly baked.
Always sift the flour and baking powder
together at least three times, no matter
what kind Of pastry is to be made. This
will insure its rising evenly and the flour
lis lightsned by having air sifted into it.
Either water or milk may be used for
mullins. Milk will make the richer muffin
and brown better, but water will answer
the purpose very nicely when milk is not
to be had.
A most excellent spread" for mullins,
hot biscuits and hot cakes is made by
Dreaming together about equal parts Of
butter and honey either strained or in the
comb. If the butter is solid it will work up
to about the consistency Of hard sauce and
lit is simply delicious.
