AppIes Now a Luxury.

Everywhere among the dealers one
can read three apples for a dime" and
In many places the rosy fruit Is marked
with a nickel apiece" How changed
this Is from those old days when one
could buy a peck Of apples for ten
cents or a barrel for $1.25. Not many
years ago an orange was worth four OF
five apples, but now it is cheaper and
it is not worth one. There was once a
time when an ordinary family would
have several barrels Of apples in the
cellar, or a bin in the garnet, for win
ter use. But those days are gone, and
even a good apple pie has reached the
altitude of a luxury. And then the way
they are sold-in boxes in rows or
each apple wrapped in paper to attest
its value. We don't know that these
are really days of progress when a
barrel of apples belongs to the ars
tocracy.

anc on the White Way. Four years

It does not mean that a woman can

them in a nursery. She can take

out Of one. II they are in charge OF
a governess, however, she should BIZ

ers the young woman who fills that po-
sition would have the supervision of

with the greatest care. For the whole

MAKES GEMS MORE BRILLIANT
Been Shown to Give as Much
Light as a Candle.

The jewelers. of ancient Egypt knew
more than modern craftsmen about
treating gems so that they would
shine and sparkle, according to the
Independent. Such gems as the emer-
aid, garnet and jacinth were livelier
and more luminous in the days Of the
Ptolemies than they can be made to-
day. 1t is known that the diamond,
ruby, emerald and kunzite become
phosphorescent or fuorescent under
certain circumstances.
Gems exhibit the liveliest phospho-
rescence in vacuum tubes. Even In
rarefed air some diamonds give out a
blue light which is not present in a
denser atmosphere. IN a u a
diamond Of four or five carats gives
as much light as a candle. The color
Of the light differs not only with the
origin of the diamond. but with the
facets of the same diamond. Maske-
lyme made a collection Of diamonds
which glowed in a vacuum with near

FISHERMAN TELLS THIS ONE
Giant Sturgeon Tows Austrian to Camp
and Is Later Served to Crew OF
Hungry Men.

Lashing a 100-pound sturgeon to a
raft. when he found the fish too heavy
to carry, forcing the big member or
the finny tribe to haul him into camp
where later the sturgeon was served
up to a crew Of hungry men, Is the
latest fish story that has reached
Boise. 1t was brought to Boise, Ida
no, by Frank Maxwell, an engineer
Of the forest service with headquar-
tiers in Boise.
A large crew Of men is stationed at
the OK Bow tunnel, on the Snake riv-
er, between Idaho and Oregon. A
rancher named Mcpherson notified the
foreman in charge of the camp that
if he would send some of his men up
he would give them a fish. Thinking
that one man could manage a single
fish without trouble, the foreman sent
one Of his Austrian laborers after 1t.
When he arrived at the Mcpherson
ranch, however, the Austrian found

male when he finds that the one fe-
male for whom he has begun, con-
sciously or without his knowledge, to
live his life and do his deeds, does not
utterly condemn him when he has
done his level best and that best has
been worthy. Men'a are the worlds nat
ural "come-ons," women the worlds
natural vendors Of psychological, n
timental and often very raw gold
bricks.
So when Josie soulfully declared
that she had known he would, Broad
way did not let it pass with an unap-
~preciative, "Of course you did," but
looked at her with gratitude alight In
his pleased face and humbly queried,

completely overwhelmed him land

minute, had admitted that she thought

he could not find words with which to
proceed conversationally. All men are
that way.
But presently he recovered self-pos-
session and continued:
Now, I don't know anything bou

about money I never did a days work

He looked at her with a shamed
smile, the first evidence that he had
ever shown of anything but pride in
his ability to live idly with enormous
and successful effort.

reached the next full stop.

BRITISH SYNDICATE TO BUY

Columbia.

Production Of a uniform standard
grade Of cotton, the direct sale of the
cotton in the South to European spin
ners and the t,ssible establishing Of a
lace factory in Columbia were among
the matters discussed at a conference
of several hours recently between
Thorn Heyworth, personal representa-
tive of a syndicate of British spinners,
and Commissioner Watson OF the
state department of agriculture. Mr..
Heyworth is making a trip through
the cotton belt and will make a
lengthy report on the situation to
several OF the large spinning COM
panies of the Manchester milling dis
trict in England. MI. Heyworth was
highly pleased with Columbia.
Commissioner Watson Is the presi-
dent OF the Southern Cotton congress.
Mr.. Heyworth brought a letter of in
PRODUCTION to Mr.. Watson from sew
eral well known manufacturers OF
Manchester. Commissioner Watson
went over the entire cotton situation
with MI. Heyworth.
Several samples Of Columbia long
staple cotton will be carried back to
England. Nj. Heyworth was much
pleased with the samples, saying that
they wero exactly what the English
spinners wanted. He said that for
many years the English manufacture
ers have been complaining because
of the lack Of uniformity Of Ameri-
can cotton. He said that the spin
ners propose to purchase a tract OF
about 10000 acres at some point In
the South for the purpose Of growing
one variety Of cotton to get a uniform
length of staple. This farm will not
be inaugurated to compete with the
Southern farmer, but will be for de-
monstrahon purposes.
Before leaving Columbia Mr. Hey
worth discussed the a~dvisabiltty OF
establishing a Nottingham lace fac
tory in Columbia. He will make a spe-
cial report on the situation in Column
bia to English capitalists, who, 1t Is
said, are prepared to make invest
ments here. No particular property
was recommended by the commission

ly all the colors Of the spectrum. An
uncut stone which was roughly cube
shape, with truncated corners and
edges, emitted orange yellow light
from the and lemon yellow
from the fiat edges.
Next to the diamond stands the
ruby as highly phosphorescent in a
vacuum. The ruby emits a beautiful
red light, as though it were incandes-
cent. Kunzite shines with a golden
yellow or yellow tinged with rose.
The emerald shines with a crimson
light. The same gems become phos-
p%horescent under the influence Of radi-
um. The ultraviolet rays also pro-
duce luminosity in gems.
1t is well known that rubies from
the mines of Burma are more valuable
than those from neighboring Siam.
Externally they look much aliker but
under the ultraviolet rays Burmese
stones, which are called oriental
rubies, glow like red embers, while
the Siamese rubies look almost black.

Dr.. Moore reIIs Of Convention.

Andrew C. Moore, acting president
University Of South Carolina, gave
the faculty and students of the uni
versity an account of the educational
conferences in Louisville, KY, which
he attended recently. The Southern
Educational association and the Con-
ference for Education in she South
determined last year to meet at the
same time and place and to carry out
a joint program. The plan worked
so satisfactorily that steps were TAX
en- to merge the two associations into
one. The same man was chosen as
pre- .'dent of the two organizations for
the next year and 1t ia expected that
Mr.. Joyner of North Carolina will
prove equal to his name. and bring
about the merger. Committees were
appointed with full power to arrange
the details of the union.

For the purpose Of studying the

H. Sullivan, section director Of the
United States weather bureau, will

but recently the wisdom of this meth
cd has been questioned, 1t being said
that the eggs absorb soluble silica in
sufficient amount to make them unfit
to be eaten.
DR.. Bartlett, an English chemist,
has been testing eggs so preserved,
and has proved that If the bath con-
tains free soda the eggs absorb it and
their whites become like jelly. But
when a ten per cent. solution Of sill
cate Of soda BE used there Is none Of
this absorption. After being i'm
merssd for eleven months the eggs
contain no more silica than when
fresh. They are in very much better
condition than when preserved for the
same length OF time by freezing, as
the pores of their shells are her
metically closed.

Experiment.. AID Florence Folk.

Experiments AID Florence Folk.
The Pee Dse experiment station, 3
branch of the work Of Clemson Coll
lege, located on the outskirts Of Flor
ence, will show It's practical value to
the farmers of this county in its work
of this, its second year. Last year,
the director of the station, R. E. Cur.
rim, cultivated the farm with the gen.
eral idea Of obtaining records Of com.
parative fertility and productiveness
Of he whole farm Of 200 acres. This
year the experiments will show the
relative values Of different methods
Of cultivation and fertilization. Mr..
Curtin found that the greater part Of
the farm was practically uniform for
the different experimental sections
of three, nine and twelve acres each
so that there is no necessity for allow
ance for varying soils in the respect
i've tests he is Undertaking, a very de-
cided gain to the station in convent
ence and effectiveness Of work.
One large section is devoted to
crop rotation lessons and different
fertilization. Corresponding sections
through four acres show the use Of
the different ingredients of fertilizer
commonly used by the farmers-ach
alone, kainit alone, nitrogen alone,
floats; lime, cottonseed meal and
check rows with no fertilization-then
combinations Of twos and threes and
tours Of the ingredients, each subsec-
ton checked with unfertilized rows.
Three acres rotate from oats to cotton
or corn, then to the n not planted
the year before, and one acre to cot
ton continuously. 1t will require SIX
years to work out this problem, but
when worked out will give an accu-
rate and reliable guide to rotation
and fertilization values.
Another section gives tests on .ex-
cess use Of each Ingredient for both
cotton and corn.

guarded foolishness has made them.
But Broadway told nc details of his

CHAPTER XII.

Higgins, cratic, demagogia often
vie$eus tempc,el was, when once his
championship nadfs2en enss'ad, an en-
thusiastic advocate. AS he himself had
said, his heart was Gin the right place."
and that morning, as he went through
the plant explaining that the young
new owner had decided not to sell out
to the trust, but would stand by Jones'
vile, Jones Pepsin gum and those res
ident in one and employed in manufac-
ture Of the other, Broadway lost Hone
of merit through his defamation.
In that heart in the right place Zig
gins had admired the way this smallish
city man had stood up to his five feet
ten of Drawn and threatened to throw
him out of the building, discharge him
from the plant, and drive him from the
town If he did not cease threatening a
woman. He was sorry ne had lost his
temper while with Josie.
He had rushed through the great,
rambling buildings Of the o~ld-fashioned
mandatory at high speed and high
enthusiasm. His manner had been
such that his mere appearance had
been signal for the stoppage Of the
wheels Of industry and the gathering
Of eager groups about him to listen to
the news which one could not doubt he
bore, and when the nature Of thar
news became known generally, the
much-relieved workmen, the working
women, and even the basket girls and
bundle-boys throughout the plant, be-
came instantly demonstrative OF great
Joy.
The first cheer, that which had
| mercifully interrupted Clara's inqui-
sition Of Broadway on the subject OF
his friend, was followed by another
and another as the news spread. A
gradual cessation Of the grinding roar
which was apparent, even In the Office
building, when the plant was operat'
ing, showed that here and there
and everywhere machines were being
stopped by those who wished to leave
them 80 that they might hear the
news.
The ofice-building group stood spell
bound, listening. None knew what had
occurred. They might have been
alarmed had the uproar been less I'M
m~istakably enthusiastic.
What Is it," Mrs. Spotswood asked
excitedly.
ct don't know" was Josie's answer.
Clara certainly knew nothing OF the
nature Of what might be happening,
and none was further than Broadway
from a guess that what he had told
