ENERGY OF THE SUN.
intensity of the Light and Heat it Sheds Upon Our Universe.

intensity of the Light and Heat t
 Sheds Upon Our Universe.
 By a series of curious experiments scientific men have gained fair idea of the intensity of light and heat from the sun as compared with earthly in- struments.
 When the sun is at the zenith. or di- rectly overhead, its light is equal to seventy-five electric lights placed only three feet from the observer. Yet an electric light is too dazzling for any one to gaze steadily at it. And as com pared with Sirius, which is the bright est in the heavens, the light of the sun is 20.O00,O00 times more brilliant
 The intensity of solar heat on our globe varies greatly, in way that sum- light does not, the former being affect ed by locations. attitudes. changes of the atmosphere and many causes.
 It has been estimated, however, that the total quantity of heat which the earth receives from the sun each year is enough to melt layer of ice covering the entire globe and having a thick. ness of a hundred feet.
 But this is only a very small portion of the whole amount of heat given out by the sun. The total solar heat is enough to melt every day layer of ice ten and one-half miles thick, about the entire sun. or, to take Professor Tyndall's comparison, the suns heat
 l. produced by burning a seam of coal sixteen and one-half miles thick.-Phil. adelphia Inquirer.

Whether a corn is treated at home ol by chiropodist, the treatment Is the same It consists of applying to the an acid tthe most commonl! b. being salicylic' mixed with col lodion and ether. The ether evaporates, leaving layer of coIlodion to hold the acid while this does it's work. After applying this regularly for four or i've days the foot is soaked in hot water. when the corn can be picked out in one piece. leaving hole. which quick ly fills up.

wanted a title Praise Himself.

Following disastrous fire in west ern city, many men and women gath cred to look at the ruins. Some of the men, seeing that wall near which they were standing was topping. made haste to get out of the way and mar rowly escaped being crushed.
 Johnny Brabison. good Irish citi- zen, was so near the wall that he could not escape with the others. So. whirl- ing about, he made for door in the wall, burst through it and came out on the other side safe and evidently very proud of his exploit. Women who had shut their eyes and shrieked when they saw his danger now gathered round him in great joy and cried out:

"kubisaqari."

One of the strangest diseases IS known as kubisagari. It is common in northern Japan and in a small dis trict on the Franco-Swiss frontier. but unknown elsewhere. Its symptoms are a sudden paralysis of certain mus cles, loss of vision and vertigo. The attacks last about ten minutes and continue from May to November. re- covery always coming in the autumn Nothing is known about its canseI though Dr. r. l..

CONCERTED JAILBIRDS.
To Have Been In Prison Is Mark of
 Culture In Nigeria.

Culture In Nigeria.
 In the land of the Niger, says Mir. P. Amaury Talbot in the London Times, little or no stigma attaches to jail birds.
 In fact, prison residence is often re. garded as comforting the mark of cul- ture and distinction. The last gover- nor of Southern Nigeria once compli- mented a chief of the interior on his knowledge of English, to which the man replied with a proud air: "Of course be fit to talk English mouth! I learn all that when I live long time for prison"
 Such residence Is indeed looked upon as giving sort of official status. At Calabar some prisoners were out clean ing the road when a clerk, dressed in the height of fashion. high collar. pat. ent leather boots and the smartest of suits. went by. In passing he licked one of the bending laborers with lit tie swagger cane he was carrying At once the aggrieved party sprang erect. "Whatw he exclaimed. with splendid contempt "You dare touch me!

COOPERATION IN
POTATO GROWING
Splendid Results Noted in West
Tennessee Crop Estimated
at 200 Cars This Year.

As direct result Of the work done
by the Industrial Department of the N,
c. & st. L. Railway among the potato
grower of West Tennessee in urging
cooperation, there is a sweet potato
crop in that section this year of 135, 900
bushels. This is only one of the strik-
ing examples Of what this road is trying
to do for the farmers along its lines to
promote better agricultural conditions.
The crop at Gleason is 75,000 bus; at
Mckenzie. $4,000 bus; at Dresden, s.
900 bus; at Jackson. 5000 bus; at Hun
tingdon, 5000 bus, The average yield
was 175 bushels to the acre, The
potatoes are being stored in modern
potato houses, kiln dried and held for
the market. W. X. Hawks Of Gleason
is president of the Potato Growers
Federation and j. C. Sasser Of Nc
Kenzie is Secretary. Before the CO.
operative work was started the potato
growers of that section were working
as individual growers and frequently
failed to get the top market price.

The Recent Bank Statements

In the last issue of The Falcon was
PUBLISHED the statements of the eight
banks of Fsyette county upon the call
of the state superintendent of banks.
These calls are made twice each year
at such times as the banking depart
ment sees fit and all banks in the state
publish their statements for the date
made in the call. When the statements
were pulished year ago at almost the
same date the showing made by the
banks of this county was of kind to
show that the money crop had been a
a failure hereabout. The deposits were
lower than they had been seen at the
same season of the year in a long time.
The banks were as solid as could be
but the deposits showed that the people
had no mohey, else they would have had
it in the banks. But this year the
statements are highly gratifying to
business men. The deposits as shown
in these statements last week in the
eight banks amount to $476, 040. 03 while
at the same date last year they were
1854, 020,66 The county has on deposit
more than q hundred thousand dollars
of cash more this year than was year
ago. Another feature of the recent
statements is that the notes and bills
payable by the banks themselves is
much smaller than last year, meaning
that borrowers haye paid the banks,
thereby enabling them to pay their ad-
vancing hanks. All things taken into
consideration the statements of the
banks last week show a prosperous
condition of the county, in the very face
Of the fact that the cotton crop now
about harvested is very small one.
And the banks themselves are shown to
be in excellent shape, in every case
showing increases in deposits and gen.
eral holdings over what they had a
year ago.

Circuit Court Adjourns We'd
nesday.

The Circuit court fer Fayette county
which convened in this city on the fourth
Monday in November for its regular
term adjourned on last Wednesday after
being in session for the full week and
three days of the present week. The
session was at the same time very long
one and very short one. The docket

The Civil docket taken up the first day
of the court was completed by Tuesday
night of last week except one case
which was made special order of the
court for Monday of this week, and it
consumed two full days, going to the
jury late Tuesday afternoon. The jury
did not report in this case until Wednes-
day and the court was held in session
to hear that report.
The criminal docket was of the usual
kind for the October term of the court
and was rather lighter than the average.
The trials of these cases resulted in
fines amounting to total of S430 and
seven work-house sentences. In addi-
tion to these there were the usual num-
Der of cases dismissed on payment of
costs, in number of which the costs
must be worked out on the roads. The
cases in which fines and work-house
sentences were given as follows:
Steve Wilkins, Assault and battery,
s25 and 6 months in the work-house.
Stanley Sterling who was accused Of
house-breaking and larency along with
the Roberts gang last year was acquit-
