LIGHT AND FLOWERS.

Why o Garden 10 More Fragrant ~
Night Than by Day.
The light we receive from stars Of
the first magnitude, like Vega, Is equal
approximately to a forty thOusand-mil-
Houth part Of that OF the sun. II Is cal
culated that the total light received
from the lesser stars is equal to that OF
5000 stars Of the first magnitude, or
sixth part Of that which is sent to US
from the moon.
Light exercises a mechanical pressure
which can be measured In the labora-
tory. 1t has been shown by expert
ments with artificial light that in its
production enormous quantities Of en-
ergy are dissipated.
In an ordinary wax candle the total
energy which Is transformed into light
Is really but per cent. Gas and kero-
sene lamps are not more economical
On the other hand, the glow worm
transforms into light, by means yet un-
known, 90 per cent Of the total energy
expended.
III Is known that light influences very
largely the aroma Of flowers. A garden
is more fragrant when 1t is shaded
than when the sun is allowed to shine
in full blaze upon It. This. at any rate.

 Termed Pioneer Corps.
 +. The construction corps of the Ger man and Austrian armies have been termed pioneer corps. In addition to special training in the use of boatss I pontoons tools, etc, they are trained in field work of the most technical and exacting kind. Their education has
 been most thorough, and no expense has been spared to get them up to a high point of efficiency. In times of peace | they were turned loose in great woods and swaInps and given all the expert 1 ence of actual warfare. They were es- pecially taught in the use of the az and l cross ax- The work of the pioneer corps is regarded as the hardest in the l army. The men are subject to all kinds of exposure. They have to work in rivers and swampy lands, and many Of lthem die of pneumonia.

OFFICIAL REGISTRY TESTS
THE BREEDERS OF PURE.BRED
DAIRY CATTLE NOW REcoe-
NlzE ITS VALUE.
BY w. M. Regain, Assistant In Dairy
Husbandry, College of Agricul-
ture, University of Missouri.

The value of a dairy COW depends
first of all upon her ability to produce
milk and butter in large quantities.
The fact that a COW is registered or
is a pure-bred animal is by no means
a guarantee that she will be a profit
able COW. The various breeders as
sociations, who have for their pur-
pose the Improvement of the dairy
cattle in this country, recognizing this
fact, have each established what is
known as a registry Of merit or an adj
yanced registry for their separate
breeds.
Only those cows that are already
registered in the general herd book
Of the breed are eligible to the adj
vanced registry, and in order to be
admitted the COW must have produced
a certain amount of butterfat in a
years time. This amount will vary
according to the age Of the COW The
maximum requirement is $50 pounds
of fat for a COW that is 5 years old
Or over.
All official tests are made under
the supervision Of a representative of
the state experiment station who.vis-
its the herd each month and weighs
and samples the milk Of the COW each
milking for two days. From the
amount Of fat that the COW produces
during these two days the average

When the solid earth quakes, though
1t move but a ~thousandth OF an inch
beneath our feet, the human brain
reels and we become dizzy, sick and
afraid. So, too, at the thought that
some trusted friend has played us
false. the mind turns back upon itself
and we doubt the stability OF every
thing for a moment. Then, as we
find all the trees straight up, the world
intact, and the hills in their proper
places. we cast the t~reacherous doubts
aside and listen to the voice of reason.

Manuel del Rey for the hand of Ora

beneath the Aragon windows, but for
trying to whip the captain of the ru-
