During the week that followed
John Burton spent many miserable
hours. George Hamer was nearly
out of his mind, and needed safe
guarding day and night.
The trust took over the factory as
quickly as possible, and all payments
| were made, but the community was
thrown into dismay by the placarded
announcement that the plant would
shut down the following Saturday.
Astounded BY this wholly unexpected
blow, John drove to Hamer's town
house.
| He was admitted by the solemn
faced butler and shown into the
drawing room, where Mabel Hamer
was seated at the piano playing one
of Chopin's dreamy nocturnes. The
girl rose at once. She ignored the
visitors outstretched hand
"Why should | recognize you, Mr.:
Burton, when you are the cause OF
my brothers downfall?" she said
icily. Before he could even frame a
protest she swept out of the room.
Mrs. Hamer evidently learned of
JOHH pIcScHCc. one CdiHc III, Stoou
near the door and said, with tears
streaming from her eyes:
"Mr. Burton, where is my sonl WIKI
have you taken him from me?'
Unjust though her words were, he
could not argue with the stricken
mother. He contented himself with
indicating by gesture that her som
was hardly in his charge. At that
instant Elwood Hamer entered, led
his weeping wife into the hall and re-
turned, closing the door behind him.
why are you here" he demanded
brusquely.
! II come to ask you why you are
breaking your contract by closing the
factory" replied John with equal as
perity.
Broken the contract? Nothing Of
the sortl Read i'll Consult your
lawyer. Find any clause, if you can,
which conpels me to run my business
at loss"
Burton knew he was beaten. He
went out sadly Once again was he
forced to admit that humanity still
felt the grip Of evil.

1t may be, perhaps that the father
was secretly proud to find his son a
chip of the old block. In his own
strenuous youth he had been forced
to fight every sort Of opposition, and
George was only treading well-trod-
den way in new conditions. But he
could neither forgive nor forget that
ridiculous marriage. That was the
real obstacle to a reconciliation, and
he determined fiercely to break the
new undertaking and bring its found
ers to their knees.
One other minor difficulty reared
its head. A pretty girl like Janet
could hardly work in factory day
in and day out throughout the year
without attracting admirers. and a
man named Bill Foster, cutting-ma-

Mabel had the good sense to realize
that the two young men should be
left to themselves. She took her
weeping mother away and did not re-
appear. Soon afterwards Burton and
George quilted the house.
John, of course, was deeply con-
cerned, He little imagined that he
would find himself in the midst of
such a storm the instant he entered
the Hamers' palatial abode. But all
his sympathies were with George
Hamer. 1t could not we'll be other
wise. He, too, had met Janet Perkins
and recognized in her social force

the conditions which obtained in the

OF them. Indeed, he had almost re-

and, by investing his own money in
the concern, obtain voice in its con-
troll. Now, the fat was in the fire.
He had taken an accurate measure

Treatment of "Sick" Plants.

The plan of treating sick plants with sprays of iron sulphate solution is be- lieved to be the solution of a serious problem of pineapple growers in the Hawaiian islands, though the details of application are yet to be perfected. The black surface soil near Honolulu over an area of 6,000 to 10000 acres, contains manganese, up to two or three per cent and pineapple plants in this soil though growing well for time, eventually become weak and sickly, with dropping yellow leaves. The fruit, which develops and ripens imperfectly, is made unpalatable by a peculiar acidity and lack of sugar. The investigation of M. O. Johnson, of the Honolulu experiment station, has recently brought the discovery that the manganese dioxide in the soil renders the iron insoluble, and that, in soil having a great abundance of iron, the plants have failed from lack of this element. Injections of iron Sulphate promptly restored greenness and vigor. In field experiments, feeding iron to the roots gave no results, but it was found that when the leaves were wet with copperas solution enough iron was absorbed to supply their needs. The flavor of the treated fruit was equal to that of the product of the best pineapple land.

MOVIE "SUPERS" IN PROTEST
Claim Salaries Do Not Fit Increased Duties and ResponsibiIities
 of the Work.

The "supers" of the moving pictures to the number of ten thousand have appealed to the American Federation of Labor to help them. The days when in the Legitimate" they could get several dollars a night for looking the part have given place to long hours of exposure to bumps and thumps and thrilling hauling and falling, for a wage scale seriously reduced, they maintain, by the exorbitant commits sions demanded by the agents. The public is no longer satisfied to let a dummy fall from a cliff or jump from a motor car to train, or stab man. a she-bear in her den. It expects the super himself to be an 'injiarub- Der idjft," blithe and resilient wheth- CT he is dropped from a house roof or smothered under a haymow. He must be a glutton for punishment, and unite to the indurated symmetry of mar ble faun the lungs of a Ted Meredith and the muscles of a Howard Berry.
 Yet for all this he is to have the pay of q stevedore or station porter. He thinks he deserves the wages of Mex ican bullfghter, at least. He suffers from competition. He is a "supernu- merary." He gets the wages paid in callings that put little or no premium on mentality. Bruises, sprains and gashes, in world dripping with gore, have a lessened market value since they have become part of the accept sa order.

CITY IS OLD, YET MODERN
Rouen Has EoubIe Charm for the Vis'' tor Who Has Proper Eye for
 Civic Beauty.

Rouen, the old capital of Normandy whence William the Conqueror planned his wars against England, is clty which persists in keeping up to dage through the centuries. It is busting modern town today in spite of it's long and strenuous past. You can buy the oldest of antiques and the most modern of manufactures in Rouen, both strict ly local products.
 Like many American cities, Rouen makes it's poorest impression from the railway stations. No matter which train you pass through on, if you were to take what you see through the car riage window as a fair sample of the old city, you would never alight and in vestigate. It is necessary to have faith in Rouen, to believe in more beautiful things around the corner, and, as is often the case he who has faith is re- warded.
 There are few places where the con- trast between the medieval and the modern stands out more clearly than in this old-new city of France. The broad and handsome boulevards, the brightly lighted shops, the bustling cafes are very much of the twentieth century; and the grim old stone houses, the time- blackened carved walls seem to look down on the pageant of modern life flowing past them with dignified pu- ritanical disapproval. Leading off from some broad new boulevard you often find one of the old-time narrow streets just wide enough for foot traffic, that was laid out in the days when Rouen was a walled city and the needs of the pedestrian, or at most the horseman, were the only ones to be considered.
 The traditional idol of Rouen is Joan of Arc. They have named a street and a square for her, the best of her statues are found here, and there is a museum given over to relics of her strange ca- reer. Here is the tower where the un- fortunate maiden was tried and con- demned. Through these same streets she rode in her bright armor, and here she died at the stake.

CANADA HAS BIG TELESCOPE Reflecting Apparatus at Victoria Is Said to Be the Largest Yet
 Constructed.

A seventy-three inch reflecting tele- scope, which ranks in size as the largest telescope of that type yet com pleted, has been constructed for the Dominion Astronomical observatory at Victoria, Canada. The instrument is described in Popular Mechanics. The mirror, which in this type of telescope takes the place of lens in conCentrat- ing the rays of light, measures 73 inches in diameter over all, is 12 inches thick at the edges, and is pierced by hole ten and one-eighth inches in di- ameter. The silvered upper surface is q parabola to bring the reflected light to a focus, 30 feet above the mirror. This enormous piece of glass weighs two and one-quarter tons and yet is so accurately supported that no fleXure can diStort the surface, which must nowhere deviate from the theoretical curve more than q POOL ,000 of an inch.
 The instrument weighs 55 tons and will rest on massive piers of re-en- forced concrete. The tube is 31 feet long and weighs 12 tons. Of unusual interest from an engineering point of view are the dome and observing bridge. The former is 36 feet in di- ameter and is provided with a double shutter having an opening 15 feet wide.

Bia Demand for Pneumatic Tires.

How many people realize the sensa- tional development that the pneumatic tire business has experienced? The first company to undertake the manu- facture of pneumatic tires was the Dunlop Company, organized at Dub- lin, Ireland, in 1889, with capital of about $75,0O0 to make tires for bicy- cles, and 1t rapidly grew to be a great business. Then came the automobile to add it's demands, and today, only twenty-seven years later, the pneu- matie tire business of the world is esti- mated at the enormous sum of S650,- 000 0000.-Scientific American

Unearned Increment Measured in Crop

The average value of farm land throughout the United States in 1910, aside from buildings, was $32.49 an acre, according to the census. In 1916, according to the department of agricul- ture, this value had grown to :$45.50, an increase of 40 per cent. Since the total value of farm lands, aside from $2S,475,000,000, the total increment since then must be more than eleven billions.
