Squarinq the Circle.

The origin of the problem squaring
the circle is almost lost in the pists of
antiquity, but there is a record Of Gin
attempted quadrature in Egypt SOC
years before the exodus of the Jews.
There is also a claim, according to
Hone, that the problem was solved by
a discovery Of Hippocrates, the geom-
etrician of Chios-not the physician
800 B. G. Now, the efforts Of Hippoc-
rates were devoted toward converting
a circle into crescent, because he had
found that the area Of a figure pro
duced by drawing two perpendicular
radiuses in a circle is exactly equal tC
the triangle formed by the line of june
ton. This is the famous theorem of
the ''lunes of Hippocrates" and is, like
glauber salt out of the philosophers
stone, an example Of the useful results
which sometimes follow search for
the unattainable.

lime, so gallons of water. Stake the
lime, mix in the sulphur, add so gal
Ions of water and let it boil for SO or
go minutes. Some water will evapo-
rate. Replace it so that the entire
amount of the solution will be so gal

This is the concentrate which must
be diluted with water before being
used on trees. It is sufficient to
make 800 to 400 gallons of spraying
material or sufficient to spray 200 five
year-old peach trees for scale during
the winter.
To know how much water to use in
diluting the concentrate, purchase a
hydrometer at a drug store. If this can
not be had, dilute the concentrate by

n. GA. BECOMING
FAMOUS FOR APPLES
Andrew M. SouIe, President Georgia
State College OF Agriculture

A visit to the north Georgia apple
section is bound to be an inspiration
to those who appreciate the power of
an industry to transform idle lands
TO productive areas, to successfully
maintain population and to enable
man to find an attractive and remun.
erat1ve employment as we'll. In this
table land region with its ideal win.
Ter and summer climate and with it's
elevation of $500 to $500 feet above
the sea are found the best natural
conditions of climate and soil for the
production OF apples of the choicest
quality as to flavor and which will
keep for long period, and by reason
OF their high color are unusually at
tractive to the consumer.
1t is the home-maker who is a fruit
grower that north Georgia offers the
greatest opportunity. Lands suitable
Tor cultivation can still be purchased
at cost of from $25 to $50 per acre.
TO establish an orchard and bring it to
bearing requires no small outlay of Ia
Dor. One OF the largest and most sue
cessful growers in north Georgia re-
ports that 1t has cost him as much
as $3.50 per acre to clear his land and
bring his trees into bearing at seven
or eight years. This takes into con-
sideration every expense incident to
establishing the orchard and maintain
ing 1t under almost ideal conditions.
The lighter soils are better adapted
to producing early maturing trees
than the clay soils where trees will
grow slower but last longer. Newly
cleared lands are preferable. AS a
rule, north Georgia land is we'll drain
ed, both as to soil and air, but care
should be taken to select a site to
See that both of these conditions pre-
vail.
The College of Agriculture has is
sued a bulletin on Apple Culture in
Georgia which is for free distribution,
and which will be found valuable to
entering upon an apple orchard prop
OSition.
The industry Is beyond the expert
mental stage, valuable information has
been obtained on the best varieties to
be used, modern and effective methods
of pruning, spraying and cultivating
are being employed with excellent re-
suits. The marketing end of the crop
lis being intelligently worked out. The
leaders in the industry are some of
the most intelligent and capable bust
ness men in Georgia. In fact, the
Foundation is well laid for great and
thriving apple business for this state.

DUST CLOUDS or ALASKA.


Ve'eane ,AdAss Make the Hiils Appear
% Be Snow Clad.
As we approached Kodiak strange
dark clouds were seen obscurtng the
horizon at several points, one Of which
was 30 heavy and black that 1t resem-
bied smoke from a great forest fire.
Captain Jensen startled MS by explain
ing that this was dust blown by the
stin breezes from the lofty hills all
about us. These hills seemed covered
with snow, but the whitish deposit
proved to be ashes rained down sew
eral feet deep upon all this section dur
ing the eruption Of Mount Katmai in
June, 1912 Katmai is still smoking.
The sun looked like duh silver dol
lar as it shone through the ashy mist
The dust cloud was SO thick that 1t
held our steamer up for four hours
until the way was Clear. Passing your
hand over the rail Of the boat, you
found your fingers streaked with the
impalpable gray powder. When we
landed at Kadiak we found piles of
soft gray ashes and large and small
pieces of light, friable stone, like. pum-
Ice stone, which had been thrown out
by the volcano. The explosion of the
volcano was heard at Valdez, 400 miles
away from Kadiak, and sounded like
a cannonading. 1t was followed by a
deposit OF fine ashes in Valdez.
In Kodiak the ashes covered every
thing. They half buried Colonel Blod-
gett's big cannery on the dock and put
him temporarily out Of business. They
completely filled up pond four feet
deep which had been the skating re-
sort for many years Of the children Of
Kodiak.-John A. Sleicher in Leslie's.

CORE OF THE EARTH.

Its Form Mystery, but the Globe, as q
Whole, Is as Rigid as Steel.
The theory that the crust Of the earth
is only a few miles in thickness and
rests upon an intensely heated molten
interior Is no longer tenable. 1t is now
known that the earth, as q whole, pos
sesseS high degree Of effective rigid
ity, as great as If it were composed
throughout Of steel. It is no doubt
true that the interior of the earth is in
an intensely heated condition and that
it appears to possess. some of the quail
tiles Of fluid. At the same time it
behaves in many respects as solid.
Professor Milne concludes from the
velocities Of seismic waves at different
depths that the materials and general
characters Of the crust of the earth
that are found at the surf:NAa. may ex-
tend to a depth Of about thirty miles,
but beyond that the material seems to
merge into fairly homogeneous nu-
eleus. This state probably extends to
a depth of six-tenths Of the radius, but
the remaining four-tenths form q core
which differs in its physical and posi-
bly, its chemical constitution from the
outer portion. What the state of. this
nucleus is must be a matter largely Of
conjecture until we have a fuller
knowledge of the state of matter when
subjected to the vast pressure such as
exists within the earth's interior.
Additional evidence that the earth, as
q whole, is at least as rigid as steel is
furnished by a study of tidal phenome-
ma and also by the variation Of latitude.
