interesting information.

Mr. Henry w. Wood, of the firm OF I.
w. Woods Sons, Richmond. Va, has
inst returned from Europe, and gives his
views in regard to how the European
war is likely 10 affect prices OF our farm
crops; also Information as to the best
crops to grow. in view Of future develop
ments.
The indications, says Mr.. Wood, are
that the present European war will be
quickly over. The good roads through
out Europe, improved methods OF trans
portation enabling the rapid massing and
concentrating of troops, together win
the wonderful increase in the effective
ness Of the methods OF warfare, all indi-
cate that decisive action on either side IS
likely 10 be followed by powerful pc ace
making efforts which will be brought to
bear by practically all the people OF Eu-
rope and which are likely TO be effective,
| particularly considering the financial con-
dition OF most OF the European powers.
With peace declared, we are likely TO
witness a wonderful degree OF prosperity,
not only on account of the large amount
of money which is being put into circula-
ton by the different powers OF Europe,
but because it will release enormous
amounts OF capital which are now Locked
I'D and which will seek investment ana
encourage enterprise in every possible
way.
All of the European powers at Inc
present time are making every effort, MOI
only TO secure, but also TO grow and pro-
vide all possible food stuffS. In trg-
land Scotland and Ireland there will be
practically no grasses and clovers sown
this fall, but all available land will be
sown to grain and food crops. On the
Continent the same condition is sure TO
nreyail. and while the men are engaged
very largely in war, on the Continent,
more than any other place, the women
do the farm work, and every effort will
be put forth to provide food crops, n
case of continuance OF The war.
Another industry which promises to be
very profitable for years TO come, is the
raising OF cattle and horses. The large
number OF horses which are being taken
and used for war purposes has depleted
TO very considerable extent The supply
of horses needed for use in Great Britain
and on the Continent, and this is bound
to keep the prices and supply of horses
in good demand for years to come.
The scarcity OF cattle, which existed
even before the war, is already becoming
acute, and the European powers are
likely TO use up their supplies OF live
stock to much greater degree even than
grain crops, and this will make cores
ponding scarcity of meat supplies, with
resulting high prices, for several years
to come. Our farmers should make
every preparation, where cattle can be
raised advantageously, and this is practi-
cally all over the entire South, to provide
for the pasturing and feeding OF as much
live stock as possible.

Buried Wires.

Early last March it was announced that
for the first time underground converse
ton by telephone was possible from Bos-
ton TO Washington, a distance OF 45S miles.
That marks an important advance in the
telephone system of the country. So
great is the effect Of the cath on tele-
phone wires that ii used to be as difficult
to talk over one mile OF underground wire
as over one hundred miles of overhead
wire.
II is not generally known that the earll-
est experiments in electrical communIca-
ton were made with the expectation OF
using underground wires. In lS43 Con-
gress appropriated $50, 900 to enable Pro-
fessor Morse to test his newly invented
telegraph on line between Washington
and Baltimore. AMaine man, interested
in the plough business, had taken The
contract to lay The pipe containing the
wires at 500 per mile, and Ezra Cornell
happened to call at his office in Portland
when he was trying to invent machine
10 do the work. Mr.. Cornell at once
sketched a machine, something like a
plough, which would cut deep and
narrow furrow, and lay the pipe in the
furrow as if moved along. Professor
Morse asked Mr.. Cornell TO build such
machine, and the continuance proving
practicable, Mr.. Cornell was asked 10
take charge OF laying The pipe.
The work was begun at Baltimore in
October, 1S43, and went forward salts
factorily; but the discovery was present.
ly made that imperfect insulation allowed
the current TO escape from one wire to
another. A serious crisis was at hand.
The appropriation for the experiment
was nearly exhausted, and Professor
Morse felt that to suspend operations at
that stage would be confession of fail
ure.
Accordingly, Professor Morse called
Mr.. Cornell aside, and said, Cant you
conirive somehow TO Sop the work for a
few days, so that the papers will mol
know that if has been purposely inter-
rupted ? want to make some expert
ments before any more pipe is laid
Cornell stepped back TO the machine,
and shouted, "Hurrah, boys, whip up
your mules We must lay another length
OF pipe before we quit for the night ~
The teamsters cracked their whips, the
animals started at lively pace, Mr..
Cornell grasped the handles OF the plough,
and watching his opportunity, canted it
over so as to catch into point OF rock.
The machine was completely wrecked.
The experiments that Professor Morse
made decided him to put the wires on
poles. BY the following spring the line
between Washington and Baltimore was
in operation.

MOSES A GERM KILLER
STAYED PLAGUE THROUGH THE
USE OF INCENSE.
Oils Useo Were Powerful Antlsepties
and ThIs Explains What Has
Often Been consldered
q Miracle.

Moses knew the secret OF killing
the germs In the air. This Is made
clear by the account Of the staying
OF the plague as recorded In the BOOK
Of Numbers. In the sixteenth chap
ter OF that book is the story OF the
awful plague that attacked the is-
raelites. then In the wilderness and
the story, too, of the method by which
it's ravages were stopped. In verses
46 to 40 of that chapter is the fol-
lowing:
46. And Moses said unto Aaron.
take a censor and put fire therein
from the altar, and put on incense,
and go quickly unto the congregation
and make an atonement for them; for
there is wrath gone out from the
Lord: the plague is begun"
AZ. And Aaron took as Moses COM
manded, and ran into the midst of the
congregation; and, behold, the plague
was begun among the people; and
he put on incense and made an
atonement for the people.
4S. And he stood between the dead
and the living, and the plague was
stayed.
From the plain account Of the text
it appears that Aaron separated the
men and women suffering from the
plague from those not yet attacked,
and then he piled the censor with In
cense and swung 1t between the
hosts, so that not a germ in the air
could pass over from the plague
stricken to those not yet attacked by
the disease.
1t is probable from the character
of the attack as recorded in the Bible
that this plague was something Ike
the plaques which have appeared IN
late years in Europe, and later in
China, that hasty cholera which
seized upon its victims and Stays them
within day.
1t Is well known among the mod
ern chemists that the essential oils
were freely used In the making OF
incense with which the censers were
filled. One Of the most modern and
approved methods of disinfecting a
room is to burn a sulphur candle In
It, the fumes of the sulphur Destroy
ing the germs in the walls and crew
ices. The ancient Egyptians had
taught the method Of disinfecting to
Moses, and he fastened to instruct
Aaron, probably suggesting to him
precisely what drugs to put in the
censers, so as to make the fumes abb
solute germicides.
This explains what has often been
considered a miracle, but need be
nothing more than the employment OF
scientific means for stopping the
plague.
1t Is now believed that the burning
Of incense in many Of the extremely
ancient temples and other places Of
worship, like those Of India, while
made part Of the ceremony, was
really instituted By the very wise
priests of those ancient days, who un4
derstood the dangers Of infection.
Especially before such shrines and
In such temples as 1t was customary
for the ancients to make annual pill
grimages, 80 did the priests realize
that the thousands and thousands OF
pilgrims had come from various
provinces and from all sorts Of con-
ditions of living, and the burning OF
the incense was in reality a precaul
ton quite necessary for the prescripi
ton Of the health of the crowds.
