SPLINTERS OF THE FAR PAST
Declared by Scientists Who Ought to
Know to Be Many Millions of
Years Old.

The discovery of splinters millions
of years old has been made by a pro-
fessor of paleontology at the Univer-
sity of California. The splinters are
neither decayed nor petrifled, but re-
tanned the grand and distinct markings
of the California redwood, and it is
even possible to white shavings from
the larger splinters. The discovery of
these splinters was made at Mussel
Rock, California, bank Of rock about
twenty miles out of San Francisco.
This stratum of rock offers an excel
lent opportunity for the study Of rock
formations, and it was while on trip
Of this kind that the splinters were
found embedded in the sandy base OF
the rock. Furthermore, these splin-
ters were contained in stratum which
had sunk under the sea and had been
afterward raised and turned over in a
different position SO that the redwood
trees were in a horizontal position in.

Importance of the Corn Crop.

Corn is king of all the crops. More
than 20 per cent of all the improved
farm land in the United States is an
nually devoted to the growing Of corn.
In 1914 05,000,000 acres were planted
to corn in this country, producing
2,700, 100000 bushels, which brought
the growers 100000. For nearly
fifty years the land planted to corn
has been equal If not greater than
the acreage of all other cereal crops
combined.
Corn from a standpoint of acreage
yield and value exceeds every other
crop.
Wherever corn is grown, there you
find high-priced land and prosperous
people.
No other crop can replace corn, but
corn can readily take the place of any
other grain crop.
Corn is put to a greater number of
uses than any other crop that grows.
There are greater possibilities for
improvement, yield and quality of corn
than any other crop.-From Lecture

PRAlSlNG THE LUSCIOUS PIE
Writer With Subject Worthy Of His
Pen Dilates in a Rhapsody
Worth Reading.

Let us celebrate the gastronomic
poem of the age-the pie. 1t graces
each season, but most especially is it
dedicated unto midsummer and the
time of berries, black, red and blue.
The pie is both friend and foe, COM
forter and avenger. 1t is mighty in
the mightiest. 1t can mercilessly
Stay, and it can soothe and assuage
the dropping spirit. 1t is a poem both
lyric and elegiac-singing the sheer
pleasures OF the senses and again, per-
adventure, the pains thereof. Dead
ly is the pie when overeaten, but
gracious, yea, and beneficent, when
partaken of in due measure and in
reverential awe of the lawful gastric
processes.
my blessings on the head of him who
first invented Sleep" sighed Sancho
Panza on a memorable occasion. Be
ours on the head of him who first in
vented pie. May he dwell forever on
blessed isles of pie among the
cherry orchards of Elysium. May his
jowls delight in mincemeat, pumpkins,
the juicy squash, the tootn-stalnlng
blueberry, the pippin apple and coolies
of lemon custard.
Something felicitous and fruity be-
tween two crusts"-that is pie. Long
may it wave! Begin at one corner of
the crust and eat judiciously along the
outer crust in order that something
felicitous and fruity may remain, like
wine, the best at the last.
Let us heartily rejoice that 1t is our
good hap to dwell within the great
New England pie belt, and not thou
sand miles from certain Justly cele-
brated pie foundries.
Give us liberty, or give us death.
But, failing that, give us pie.-Bos-

The most attractive of the new
gowns already displayed for the COM
ing winter, are characterized by the
long straight lines that belong to the
semifitting princess, and by the in
spiration of the Russian blouse. Com
binations of two materials in the same
gown. are worked out in one-piece
frocks made of cloth and silk, or cloth
and velvet. Buttons and braids and
sashes of the same fabrics as the
gown appear with such frequency that
they are assured place in the COM
ing seasons fashions.
In suits there are numbers of Sc
verely plain and perfectly tailored de-
signs, the coats semifitting, with the
skirt portion showing a ripple or full
flare. Dark cloths are chosen for
these. The skirts, while amply full,
are not decidedly faring but they are
decidedly short
The Russian idea is developed with
fine success in the various pile fabrics
used for dressier suits. Many novel
ties in the light weight pushes and
fur cloths, as well as plain velvet,
promise much for the popularity of
this style.

MOTORING In Spain,

Motorists in Spain describe the road
between Irun and San Sebastian as
very beautiful, and the latter place,
even in the rain, looks most attrac-
tive to those speeding through. The
way runs along the Oria river, tur-
bulent stream, through Tolosa to the
village of Beasain, where the traveller
leaves the Oria.
By curious optical illusion, al
though running steadily uphill all the
while, meeting the rushing torrent,
the road appears to be down-hill
one.
So it is on the reverse journey, al
though from the running of the car
one is obviously going down quite a
considerable gradient the road looks
level.

Baked Pears.

Pare and core, without dividing, as
many pears as you wish; place them
in a pan and fill centers of pears with
brown sugar. Add little water and
let them bake until perfectly tender.

An old-fashioned way is to place
pears In a covered baking dish, with

full Of molasses to every two quarts
of pears; but little water is necessary.
Bake about two hours. If you wish,
you may pare and core them, using
one small cupful of sugar instead of
molasses.

Ideal Soup Kettle.

One of the woeful aspects of soup
making in the pre-enamelware
days was the cleansing of the heavy
iron kettle; for washing a kettle big
enough to hold a shinbone of beef
with trimmings was no joke. To
day, however, one can have the trim,
enameled kettle in any size, light, yet
strong, and all it needs is hot suds
and a good rinsing to make it beauti-
fully clean and sanitary. If, in addi-
ton, there is colander of enamel
ware for straining of the soup into a
pan to match, the equipment is ideal
for cleanliness, quickness and results.

DRUGS AND POlS0NS.
Popular DeIusion of the Safety of the
"Purely Vegetable

"Of all popular delusiOns as to drugs
and chemical compounds" said prom
inent chemist. perhaps the most harm
full Is that concerning medicines that
are purely vegeta ble.' There seems 70
be almost a universal impression
among even the educated classes that
such medicines as are composed en-
tireIy of vegetable compounds are on
that account harmless, while on the
other hand any mineral compound IS OF
necessity poisonous.
Now, as a matter of fact, not only
has the question Of whether a medi-
cine Is vegetable or mineral not the
slightest relation to its poisonous or
nonpoisonOus qualities, but in practical
medicine it would seem that most OF
the common pOisons are vegetable
Look at the pOisons most commonly
known and note their composition
Take strychnine. aconite, opium, alco-
hol, digitaljs, hyoscine and cocaine
Every single one of these is purely
vegetable yet most Of the deaths by
chronic poisoning come from one OF
these. The most powerful poison
known, 'ricine Robert one five-thOu-
sandth Of a grain of which will kill a
grown man, is made entirely from the
castor oil beam
"On the other hand, many minerals,
so far from being poisonous, are not
only harmless, but soothing. Bismuth.

quantities even to small babies for the
purpose of allaying Inflammation.
while iron Is one of the most common

universal and harmless Of minerals
but it is also largely used In our foods
Salt is a pure mineral, yet it is moi

would be impossible and the luscious
dill pickle unknown.

form. Only a few minor changes were
made after that date. This dispOses OF
the generally accepted statement that

Bryant was. however, a precocious
