COAL SUPPLY
 WILL LAST 755 YEARS

II. an address before the State In- surance Agents Association, State Au ditor M. F. Dickinson said:
 According to the United States Geological Survey, the known work able area of the Arkansas valley coal field is approximately 1,5S4 square miles. The estimated original supply lis 1,SS7,0O0,000 tons. At the present time it is being mined at the rate of two and one-half million tons annual . ly. At this rate of production the supply will last 755 years. The coal is of superior quality. Indeed, it is among the best in the United States for steaming purposes, and much of it will coke.
 Ut is estimated that Arkansas has even at this time, after the timber people of this and other states have been staying our vast forests for the last thirty years, so that the casual observer would believe the total SUD- ply would be exhausted within four or five years, we still have 70.000,000,- 900 feet of standing timber including almost every known variety"

 She joined the Protestant church in 1882 and later joined the NJ. E. Church. She was quiet woman who gave her life to her family and home.
 The last eight years of her life she Twas almost an invalid but the love and devotion shown by her family deserve high praise. On the 22nd of April she suffered stroke of paralysis and never rallied All that loving hands could do was of no avail and on We'd nesday morning at 10:20, while the sun shone. birds sang and the perfume of dew-laden roses filled the air. her spir- it returned to God.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MI
 CROSCOPE.

No history of medicine would be
 complete without an account of the
 invention of the microscope. This
 was to medicine what the telescope
 was to astronomy. Since lenses were used by the Greeks and Romans, and
 before them by the Egyptians ard As syrlans. Compound microscopes con- structed during the Seventeenth Gen.
 tury were large and unwieldly and
 were invented by Hans and Zacharius
 Jansen, in 1920, and perfected later with better objectives by Robert
 Hooke. The instrument he used was
 about three inches in diameter, seven long and provided with four draw tubes. It had three glasses: an object
 glass, a middle glass, and a deep eye piece. The first simple microscopes had the lens and the objective united closely together in an inch long cy- llndrical tube allowing of no adjrst. ment. The magnifcation was slight (10:D, and the instruments were mostly used as curiosities for looking
 at the wings of flies, feas and the like. For higher magnifying powers, small lenses with short focal length were made.
 These lenses were manufactured from glass, occasionally of rock crys- tai, by grinding or, to escape grind ing, were formed by fusion. It was with such simple lenses, says Dr. Mor- timer Frank in an article on Medical IInstruction in the Seventeenth Century in a recent issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, that the first microscopic researches of scientific value were undertaken. Experimental physiology was now studied at all the universities, and by such early pioneers in the use of the microscope as Leeuwenhoek and Nal Ipighi, Harvey's discovery of the circu-
 lation of the blood was completed. It was reserved for Malpighi in 1864, seven years after Harvey's death. to demonstrate on the lungs of frog, by the aid of this instrument, the con- |nection between the arteries and veins the only missing point in Harvey's discovery. In connection with the early investigators of the microscope stand the numerous. physiologic dis coveries by Wharton, Glisson, Muck, Bartholin and many others. Indeed the seventeenth century is the era of the foundation of modern physiology.

Tn other words if through the school the farm CTS could be made to take an interest m the agricultural training of the boy and they could be established in a partnership relation, the shifting-ten

THE SHIFTING TENANT
@~-a -

Specialists of the Department of Agriculture who have been making an investigation into the use of land bv high schools in teaching agriculture and In the encouragement of boys to carry on supervised home projects. make the following suggestions as to how the agricultural instructor may help solve the serious shifting-tenant problem.
 It can safely be assumed that the average boy leaves school at Is years of age. From the best information available the average farmer does not start farming on his own account until he is somewhere between 25 and 30 years of age. In other words. there is period of the farmers life when he is btween Is and 30 years of age, when he Is not working on his own farm nor is he his own master. It would seem that wherever the home project method has been introduced an effort should be made to follow up the boy and, if possible, arrange in some way so that he continues his home-project work and gradually be- comes a partner with his father in the farm business This feature should be part of the extension work of the agricultural instructor.
 Farmers are recruited from two sources, from the sons of farmers and the sons of agricultural laborers. In going over the original census sched- ules of 1910 for farmers of Iowa coun- ty, Wis, this rather interesting fact developed that where the tenant and landlord had the same surname the tenant had been on the farm that he Was on the day the census was taken for much longer period than where their surnames were different. It was found that 31 per cent of the cash ten ants who were related to the owner had been tenants on the farms which they were on, at the census date, for two years or less, while the per cent for those where no relationship exist cd was 65. For share tenants the Gg- ures were 50 and so per cent respec- lively. In other words where there is relationship there is less of the shift ing-tenant problem thar where rela- tionship does not exist. From oth IF records it was learned that of the to- tai years a man had been a tenant, he had been tenant on the farm whc re he was at the time the records were taken 76 per cent of the total time when kinship existed and 50 per cent when there was no relationship.
