Natures Moth Ball.

If some botanical wizard could ef- feet a "cross" between this wild flower of the fields and some of the agricultural crops the farmer wouldn't need to worry about summer droughts. If the corn crop, for example, had some of this flowers power of resisting dry weather the farmer could fill his silos and corncribs with little trouble. The flower is the moth mullein.
 Like Its big sister, the great mullein it prefers dry, open fields and mead ows. Call 1t a weed if you will, call it an agricultural pest, and it will an- swer your epithets with stalks of pretty white blossoms. If they grew in a garden you would call them beau tiful.
 The thick leaves of the plant have long been used by housewives in the country to pack away with winter clothes to keep out moths. So by na- ture this drought loving flower is a camel; by adaptation it's moth ball. Philadelphia North American.

BIunders In Quotation.

Errors of quotation are common in speech and writing. Byron quoted Shakespeare, "An eagle towering in his pride of place." But what Shakespeare wrote was, "A falcon towering in his pride of place." Milton wrote not "as thick as leaves In Vallombrosa," but thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks In Va1lombrosa;" not fresh fields and pastures new" but fresh woods" Nathaniel Lee did not write, "When Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of war;" but "When Greek joins Greeks, then was the tug of war; a very different thing. Doubtless, how ever, the modification of phrases by popular usage is not wholly evil; 1t cer- tainly is inevitable. The saying, "Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomor- row we die," is of curious origin. The preacher in Ecclesiastes says, "A man hath no better thing under the earth .han to. eat and to drink and be mer- ry;" Isaiah, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die;" Luke, "Talle thine ease, eat, drink and be merry."- Indianapolis News.

Blossoms That Bees Love.

A person who has had no experience with bees commonly makes the mis take of supposing that the roses, peomes, sweet peas, dahlias or other gaudy blossoms of his garden will fur nish a quantity of honey. Their value Is almost negligible, except that some of them yield a little pollen. It is to the modest white clover in the orchard or on the roadside or the weeds of pasture or wood lot or the blossoms of trees like the basswood that the bees go for the bulk of their honey. It does not pay to- cultivate any plant for it's value as honey producer. The or chard is a splendid place for the apiary. where the bees can build up on the first nectar in the spring, and the bios. sons have the benefit of the bees vis- its. - John W. Love in Countryside Magazine.

 As William Sackett and R. Pinney were returning from Canaan about o'clock Saturday evening, an auto con. taining five men, coming from the north. ran into them as they were pass ing over Hoag's crossing. Two wheels of the wagon were crushed and Pinney and Sackett were thrown out. The horse, freeing itself, ran up into the village and was caught at Smiths cros- sing. Howard Rood went with the auto and brought Sackett home. He was dazed but not wholly unconscious An examination by Dr. Adam, Sunday morning proved that no bones were broken but he was badly bruised about the back and chest. The men in the auto were steel workers from East Ga naap. They had just met an auto with bright lights and were so blinded that, as they said, the first thing they saw was a horse rearing up in their faces and no time for anything. They seemed very square about the accident and came up Sunday morning to see how badly MT. Sackett was hurt. Pinney escaped with only a few slight bruises. He was thrown about eight feet on the railroad and MT. Sackett, who is a heavy man and 72 years old, landed in the middle of the road.

Wonderful progress has been made
in decreasing unit costs and in im-
provements in process and recoveres
In mining, the square-set system was
originated in America and followed
for generation or more. Later cav
ing systems were introduced, and these
methods have been followed by so
called shrinkage and other efficient
systems. Through these efforts the
cost of mining has been tremendously
decreased and much low grade mater
ial has been made available.
I'm connection with beneficiation, it
has also been necessary to greatly
cheaper the unit costs and at the same
time to largely increase the metallur-
gieal recovery. Flotation has proved
to have a tremendously important
bearing on the increased recovery of
copper from sulphide ores. Improve
ments in the design of smelter fur
naces, the use of fuel oil or powdered
coal in reverberatory practice, the in
PRODUCTION of static electric methods
for avoiding dust losses, etc, together
with the improved mining methods
mentioned have caused much worth
less rock of 10 years ago to become
commercially valuable ore today"

NEAR BEER WATCH.
Device to Readily Transform lmita
ton Into the Real Thing.

NDSilNbI IOSl)
Prohibition is the father of ingen-
uity.
And the latest of it's inventions is
the near beer watch"
On sale in several Denver jewelry
shops and drug stores is a contrivance
closely resembling a mans watch. The
case is shaped exactly like that of a
watch, and there is lifelike stem. but
the stem unscrews, permitting the case
to be filled with alcohol. One side of
the case can be pressed in, and when
this is done stream of alcohol shoots
out through small hole in the stem.
To the gentleman who desires his
daily beer in spite of prohibition, this
near beer watch" is revelation and
a thing of joy. He fills the receptacle
with alcohol before he leaves home in
the morning and whenever he wants
glass of real beer during the day he
simply purchases glass of near beer,
adds pinch of salt and squirts into
the mixture a little alcohol from his
watch" The result is said to be the
equivalent of real beer.
These watches are made in hard
rubber, silver and gold plated steel.
They are finding considerable sale.

FINDS MINE IN CELLAR.
An Irish Miner in Michigan Strikes {
Iron Deposit.

Iron Deposit.
Engineering and Mining JournaD
We have read how gold mines have
been discovered by mules and goats
tearing up the EARTH but it is seldom
that miner goes into his cellar to do
little digging and finds an iron-ore
deposit However, such an occurrence
took place in Ishpeming, Mich on the
Marquette iron range. Last summer
the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co. purchas-
ed the holdings of the Pittsburg &
Lake Angelina Iron Co., which incud-
ed the famous Lake Angelina mine at
Ishpeming. The company owned a
large number of dwellings situated
close to the mine, one of which was
occupied by an old Irish miner This
miner started digging in his cellar a
few weeks ago and struck rich blue
hematite at a depth of three feet. He
reported the find to one of the COM
panys engineers who was working
nearby, and an investigation was star
ted. A diamond drill is now working
in his front yard, to prove the extent
of the deposit.

WORKING LEAN ORES.
Wonderful Progress in Mining and
MetaIurqicaI Methods.

'Tn the early history of mining in
this country the loss to the world
through the waste of ore underground
and of half treated products was
enormous" declared DR.. L. D. Ricketts,
in a paper on Improved Mining and
Metallurgical Methods as an Aid to
Conservation" read before the recent
American Scientific congress,
washington I'm the conservation of
mineral resources it must be remem-
bered that organized investigation and
study of mining and metallurgical pro-
cesses play tremendously important
part, for, if leaner and leaner ores can
be brought to the point of commercial
use, the life of our mineral industries
will be almost indefinitely extended
Also, the so-ealled waste products,
such as slags, tailings, etc, contain
ing some values, now Improbable,
may in turn become exceedingly pro-
fitable. They should, therefore, be
stored and held for future use.

Gently built; we are therefore amortiz-
ing this investment by heavy charges
against the profits of this temporary
business.
Large Amounts Written Of.
THE tabulation of the years work
shows that after making the necessary
extraordinary adjustments, including
very large amounts written off on ac-
count of construction work for mill
tary business, there remains net earn
ings for the year 1915 of $57, $40, 757 $50"
The cost of these new plants and the
amounts written off were not stated
The sum- it is thought. would go far
up in the millions. for construction
work has been done without regard to
cost
There are 3S40 stockholders of tn,
company, of who n 1922, or 30 per cent
are employees. In 1914 there We're 3093
employees. That equals 80 per cent
The decreasing number of stockhold-
ers was ascribed to the fact that Du
Pont common stock now is around $50
in the market and the holders sue
cumbed to war bride prices.
Further in his remarks Mr.. du Pont
said: New world conditions found e.
l. du pont de Nemours Powder COM
pany in a unique position. In this
country our company alone was pos
sessed of most complete organization
and equipment for the filling of mod
crate orders, and for the rapid en-
largement of factories for further pro-
duction of materials suddenly requir-
ed in enormous quantities.
Working Force Grows to 62, 1853.
"In consequence, the officers and en-
ployes of the company have been call
ed upon to put forth their utmost eff
forts in order to meet extraordinary
demands. Contracts undertaken have
required the designing and building of
immense plants, whose construction
and operation have necessitated an in
crease in men employed from $500 in
october, 1914, to 62,16S on January /
1916. Due to the cooperation of men
throughout the entire organization the
company has been able to deliver
nearly every pound of explosives on
time, and a greater percent
lge of all contract deliveries have been
by large margins.
