Question: have read in two or three
magazines of the theory of natures
finer forces" Are these finer qualities
Of force or forces besides those usually
mentioned in scientific books ?-Reader,
Alameda, May 10, 1915.
Answer-This is a difficult, IL not inn
possible, question to answer. The forces
commonly mentioned in university text
books on science" are gravitation, heat,
light, electricity. magnetism, chemistry,
molecular attraction and repulsion.
These terms are 80 fine, or refined,
that they are beyond all imagination.
The more discoveries made in their true
nature the more complex and elaborate
they are seen to be. Science does not
even make pretense of telling US what
they are or their causes All that we
can do is to study their effects
All these are included in one word-en-
ergy. Thus, energy traverses cosmic
space at absolute zero Of temperature. a
degree of cold that cannot be compre-
hended. But. when this radiant energy
strikes atoms or molecules of matter able
to receive. then at certain rates heat lie
the result.

too simple.
To Stilleter the driver who should
bring Celestial to him was man Of i'm
portance. Not until the car was almost
upon him with undiminished speed, did
he divert his eyes from Celestia's face
to that OF the man beside her Upon
the fact of that man there was a jubi-
liant boyish grin.
Tommy pressed n button the car gave
one of those sudden signals of warning
that sound like a giant being sick at the

a pail of water, and remained to gossip
with the maid of all work
But Tommy knew that there would be

eloped, as fast as he dared. He had no

THE driver says don't be tired. And

This had a marvellous effect Her head
no longer dropped, color came into her
cheeks and into her eyes look of vi

at the same time, he felt as IL he would
rather like TO cry There was something
so pathetic about her absolute docility.

not even be necessary to take her TO the

The Imagination Is potentially the no.
olest OF human Sits, but Il becomes a
fearful thing when II IL allowed TO go
astray and when exchanging its glorious
pinions for the wings OF a hat, II takes
flight in the dark night air OF supersti-
ton and ignorance, amidst images Of
horror and terror
One OF the most hideous products OF
the imagination in its darker moods is
to be seen in the American Museum Of
Natural History. 1t is the copied statue
OF the Aztec Goddess OF the Earth" The
whole dreadful story OF the gloomy,

should supplement Prescotts brilliant
story with the results OF later investi-
cations, which he can find In any large

But nothing that he can read will place
before his mind so dramatic a represen-
tation of that strange. and, even yet
mysterious, period OF American history
as is afforded by this statue in the halls
OF the museum in Central Park West.

MEANS OF WASHING THE EYE
Winking Is a Process Which Dame
~ Nature Has Instituted for
Optics Preservation.

The unconscious act of winking
bears a quite important relation to
the welfare of the eye. This being the
most delicate and sensitive organ of
the body exposed to the air, it is in
constant need of the protection given
by the eyelids which not only close
quickly at the approach of danger, but
are employed in washing the surface
of the eye. Moistening is required to
offset the drying effect of the air, and
cleaning to prevent the injurious ef-
feet of dirt.
Every time you wink the eye is
washed Inside the eye is the little
tear gland. which, as it's name i'm
plies, is busy storing up the supply Of
tears. This gland keeps the inside of
the lid moist and you wink automat-
ically whenever the surface Of the eye
becomes dry or particle of dust or
anything else strikes it. This work is
done as often as necessary, and to
realize how often it is necessary try
how long you can keep your eyes
open without winking

Chinese Currency.

Currency in China has had all sorts
of surprises for the layman, but the
present situation is simply extraor-
binary. There is now found to be an
actual plethora of dollars and small
coins, and since last August the Chi
nese have been melting them and con-
verting them into sycee. The reason
why dollars are being melted is that
large issues of the provincial mints
have found no use in the market, and
as all Chinese accounts are in taels
the present price of the dollar is not
very conducive to its existence and
circulation.

New Discoveries in Pompeii.

Most interesting ruins of Pompeii
have been unearthed during the exca-
vations which are being carried out
by the Italian government. A mag
nificent home has been discovered,
and all the frescoes and vaulting are
in perfect state. A staircase was
found, intact leading from the lower
to the upper floor of the house. The
surroundings of the house have also
been explored, and several smaller
houses have been brought to light
finely adorned with pictures of ex-
quisite coloring. A few of the houses
have mosaic floors with pictures of
scenes taken chiefly from the Trojan
war. In addition to these, the bodies
of several persons who must have
been surprised in their houses by the
disaster which destroyed the city
have been found, and in several cases
their garments are in a very good
state of preservation.

DEMENTED and LOST.
Thomas Lewis STAYS in the Woods for
Five Days Before He Regains His
Mental Poise.

Last Thursday morning Thomas
Lewis arrived at Dorton from Glen
Mary to act as section foreman tor the
Tennessee Central railroad. He wan
dered off into the woods and was not
found until Monday night.
Lewis turned up at the home of Esq
c. l.. Deatherage Monday evening just
at dark and told Mr.. Deatherage that
he had been on a spree for three weeks
before he arrived at Dorton. He left
Cincinnati with three plnts of whskey
and in an intoxicated coudItion. He
lost his grip at Hartman, but does
not know how or what became of it,
After getting off the tram at Dorton
Thursday morning he remembered
nothing only that he felt sick and
went into the woods to lie down. He
knew nothing more until he woke up
In the woods south of Birds Greek,
probably three or four miles from Dor
ton. He started to find his way out
and wandered about all day until late
in the evening when he arrived at the
home of Esq. Deatherage. He had on
no clothing except pants and shirt. He
did not know when or where he took
them off. He had had a good watch
in his pocket and that was gone also.
ESQ. Deatherage piloted him to Dor
ton to the section foreman, who tele-
phoned to Crossvile to his two broth
ers, David and Griffith Lewis, who had
arrived here from Rathburn Sunday to
look for their brother. The Lewis
brothers all left for Rathburn on the
early train yesterday morning.
This is another evidence OF what

FODDER PULLING.
It Reduces the Corn Yield from Five to
Twenty-Five per Gent,

For many years the farm journals of
the country have been urging the farm.
ers to cease pulling fodder, but the
practice goes on just the same with
many farmers.
The principal reasons why fodder
should not be pulled are summed up
in the following:
1t cuts the corn yield from
to 25 per cent.
1t Injuries the seed corn for
planting next year.
The fodder is worth little
more after 1t is pulled than the
actual cost of pulling.
1t is much poorer feed than
legume hay. which could be
produced with about the same
amount of labor.
For several years the Chronicle has
called attention to the evils of fodder
pulling and has repeatedly urged those
farmers who persist in pulling fodder
to make careful test as to the grain
produced where the fodder is pulled
and where not pulled. 1t is a very
easy matter to make such test and
one test we feel sure Will cure almost
any farmer of the fodder pulling prac-
tice.
Give the fodder pulling a fair test
this year by leaving a few rows and
then carefully weigh the corn that
comes from those rows and the corn
that comes from an equal number OF
lows where the fodder is pulled. 1t is
not far test to measure the corn for
pulling fodder causes corn to shrink
and be light III weight but does not re-
duce the size Of the ear to much ex-
tent. Every oHe knows that when the
corn IS shelled and weighed that will
prove the suyest test as to the actual
corn nrQducad. So, it you really want
to get the eold facts on the fodder
pulling question, she'll and weigh the
corn and we feel sure you will be con-
verted once for all.
During county court we saw several
of the leading farmers over the county
and arranged with them to make
test of few rows of corn to see what
the results are when the fodder Is
pulled and when it is mt pulled. They
are each to pull the fodder from few
rows, shuck and shell the corn and
weigh 1t. Take like number of rows
from which the fodder is not pulled,
shuck, shell and weigh it and report
the result. They are also to report
the approximate number or rows of
corn to the acre so that close estimate
may be made OF the gain or loss by
pulling fodder or not pulling. We
would like to have several more men to
make this same experiment and then
report to us by letter. The following
are those who have thus tar agreed to
try the experiment: Thomas Hale.
Biglick; Houston Mccoy, Genesis; j.
H. Henry, Isoline; j. 7. Ashburn,
Ozone; j. Q. Wyatt, Vandever :; q. w.
Davenport, Grassy Cove; Sam Tollett,
