STRANGE SHOWER FROM SKY
Fall of What Is Described as Meteoric
Floss Is PuzzIlng the sclen-
lists.

A remarkable fall from the heav-
ems of large quantities of what is
described as meteoric floss took place
at Healdsburg. The shower, which
began between 7 and 8 a. m, and
reached its maximum about ten
o'clock, was seen by all the inhabi-
tants of the town.
According to an eye witness, the
material appeared high in the heav-
ems, in a clear sky, as mass of stars,
lustrous metallic sheets and silvery
ropes. 1t reached the earth in vari-
GUS shapes and sizes, ranging from
minute particles to sheets twenty feet
square. 1t fell in such quantities
that long ropes and masses of it
hung from the telephone and tele-
graph wires.
When the substance reached the
warm earth it began at once to con-
tract into fibrous masses, resembling
flossy asbestos, though tests proved
that it was not that mineral. Most
of it soon disappeared, though sam
Piles were saved and sent to Director
Campbell of the Lick observatory
and to Prof. Tito Alippi, director of
the observatory at Urbano, Italy,

eERMANY's FoRTREssEs.

Of the more important fortresses
Mainz is regarded by those who
know as the most strategic point in
the west of Europe. Situated on the
eastern front of the Rhine, which
it dominates, it commands also the
natural way to the Danube, and the
routes leading to the Elbe valley, to
Cassel and to the Black forest. Next
comes Koenigsberg, on the Baltic,
guarded on its eastern side by the
Dieme canal.
Metz, the greatest stronghold in
Alsace-Lorraine, is protected by
eleven forts, and in peace time it is
the center of the German army. It's
sister fortress, Strassburg, designed
by Moltke, was considered by him
to be impregnable. 1t is protected
by fifteen forts, connected by citadel
railways, and from it armies can
maneuyer east or west of the Rhine
without Intervention.

MUCH COAL LEAVES COUNTRY
Exports From the United States Are
Rising RapldIy-Figures for
Last Fiscal Year.

The United States, which produces
40 per cent of the worlds coal, ex-
ports annually 2I50O,OOO tons, or
about per cent of the output. The
total export for the fiscal year end
ing with June 80, 1914, was valued
at SS6,O0O,000, or less than half the
value of the coal exports of the Unit
ed Kingdom and slightly less than
those of Germany. Certainly not an
accomplishment to deserve any COM
ment, until we look back a few
years and find that the exports of
coal from this country have consider
ably more than doubled in the last
ten years. The increase has been
8,50O,OOO tons in 1904 to 19,5OO,0OO
tons in 1914, the latter total being
the largest with the one exception of
the Immediately preceding year, on
record. Since the beginning of July
and more especially from August on,
the export coal situation has been un-
certain, but on the whole encourage
ing. There have been large increases
particularly in the South American
and Mexican trade, and Italy has be-
come a large market.

A Hint to Farmers

II the American farmer is wise he
will make his plans during the winter
to plant every acre he possesses next
spring to corn, beans, peas and other
crops which have good keeping quail
tiles and which are available in meet
ing the demand for food supplies.
Never in the worlds history has there
been greater demand for foodstuffs
and this demand will constantly in
crease as the war goes on. Even when
it is over all of the countries now en-
gagged will find themselves destitute
and they will have only the western
world toward which to turn for sue
cor.
Now is the time for farmers to be
rolling up their sleeves and making
preparations for the biggest and the
hardest years work they ever did, for
there is money in it this year such as
there never has been before. With
half the men of the world at war the
other half must grow the food for the
entire globe, and with the shortage
in food, prices will be enormous. &C
to it now Mr.. Farmer, and win YOU
share of the harvest that America i!
to reap.
