SOME ORE DEPOSITS YOUNG
Such Famous Mining Camps as
Goldffsld and Tonopah.

Ore deposits ranging in age from the
time when the most complex living
thing on the earth was q crablike crea-
ture down TO the time when mammals
were highly developed have been found
In this country. Among the younger
deposits Is a group known to gscio-
gists as the late tertiary veins.
These veins are widely distributed
and are Of particular interest not only
because they have given rise to famous
mining camps such as Tonopah. Gold
field and Comstock. but because, owing
to their comparative youth. the surface
ON which they crop out is not greatly
below that whoch existed at the time
of their origin. Thus by considering
the surface conditions and by labora-
tory experiments the phenomena they
present can be interpreted more aecu-
rately than those Of older deposits
which are at greater depths and are
more deeply cut by erosion.
Many Of the late tertiary veins in
this country. all inclosed in lava rocks
Or closely associated with them, are
found in Nevada.

There are in force In Switzerland
certain laws which. In the hands OF
the INSCRIPTIONS. may work great
havoc with personal rights and nber-
ties. This is point concerning which
there can be no dispute. For instance,
In most cantons men and women may
be punished not only for what they
have actually done in the past, but al
so for what may possibly result in the
future from what they have done.
Suppose man is spending week by
week all he earns. Then the local au-
thorities, acting In conjunction with
the police, may send him to a penal
workhouse. on the pretext that his
conduct is such that he may later be-
come destitute and therefore be bur-
den to the community.-BuffaloN News.

NOT LIKELY TO BE POPULAR.

citizen of Columbus. O., has appeared on the
streets lately with outfit for seeing the time
without removing his watch from his pocket. Great
surprise was at first created by what was con-
sidered extreme sngularity of comfort and 1t took
a good deal Of explaining his part TO restore to
himself public confidence. 1t seems, however, that
the device is perfectly practicable, us II has been
accepted by the patent office Notwithstanding,
most people will cling TO the idea that man who
is too lazy to take out his watch to see the time
deserves on general principles to be shot and 1t
Is very unlikely that the invention will WORN

REMARKABLE TREE SURGICAL OPERATION.

Edward Fontane. tree surgeon of Charlottes-
Vile, Va, has, according TO Inland Farmer, COM
pleted the greatest tree surgical operation al
tempted anywhere, and this has been done for Mr..
John Armstrong Chaloner of Merrle Mills. The
tree is red oak and is possibly three hundred
years old 1t is "a feet in circumference, two feet
above the ground, with a diameter of eight feet,
four inches in It's widest part. The cement filing
was carried up the tree 80 feet from the surface
and cement leg root imbedded five feet
into the ground to support the tree in heavy Winds
The material used was six wagonloads OF sand, II
loads of field stone, % bags Of cement IA iron
straps to REINFORCE the concrete A eyebolts and
roll of galvanized wire. SO far the operation has
been successful.

DOCTORS SONS WIN RENOWN
They Are Brought Forward as Rivals
OF the Progeny of Both Farm
ers and Ministers.

At last rival TO the farmer and ths
minister in the role of famous father
hoOd-or fatherhood of the famous
is brought forward. the New York Eve
ming Sun observes. The changes have
been rung on the parentage Of men
like the two chief candidates for the
presidency in the recent election and
Of other leaders. But IL remained for
William Browning, writing in the Med
ical Record, to contend that among
eminent personages a large number
were sons of physicians.
There is food for thought in this,
and as the author gravely prophesies,
the more embryonic science of his
tory may yet find activators~ He IL
Illustrates his theory by a list af the
men about Lincoln In the Civil var
times. The vice president, secretary
OF state, secretary OF war, speaker OF
the house and the organizer of the
Unien s-McClellan-were all doc
tors SONS. In the same group we find
David Davis, the close friend and ad-
wiser Of Lincoln; John Hay, his private
secretary; Stephen A. Douglas, his
leading opponent In the contests be-
fore the war.
Exactly what part in the preparation
Of these leaders for high station their
fathers may have taken we are not in
formed. But a good case might be
made out Of clear thinking related to
prompt action and of unselfish devo-
ton to the needs of the public. II
may be said that the old-fashioned
family physician was away from home
a good deal, but certainly his charac-
ter might well make a deeper impress
sion on the children than the repeated
precepts Of man of another type.

The club has been Incorporated under the laws
OF the state and the organization is selfperpetua
ing. The trustees charged with the management
of the club are the presidents of the three leading
banks of Seymour. Whoever happens to be pres
ident of either of these banks becomes one Of the
trustees. The treasurer of the club is chosen
from among the three cashiers of these same
banks preference being given the cashier of the
bank having the largest surplus fund and undi-
vided profits at the last preceding report for the
year.
Ihere are no fees or costs attached to club
membership Any legal voter In the county who
is engaged in farming or who derives his sup
port wholly or partly from the farm is eligible to
membership. Anyone thus qualified may apply
for membership privileges at either of the trustee
banks. All one need do is to take enough interest
to ask for privileges then he and his family NAV
participate in the club.
because II was an untried experiment-some-
thing that hadn't been done before and ell that
the business men of Seymour probably wouldn't
have put up the money for establishing the club

been proposed to them Now, If they were asked
TO reimburse the donors fully and make provisions
for maintenance, they'd jointly jump at the prop

They know that 1t is drawing new farmer trade

OF the poetic and liberal pinch of sentiment into

farmers around Seymour created the basis Of his
fortune"
One of the Indiana colleges, which has an i'm
rortant agriculture department, has shown much
Interest in the Seymour enterprise. This school
sends out special trains and agents and ennis
saries and whatnot all over Indiana in line with
its policy of making Hoosierdom a paradise of
scientific farming and these agents don't often
overlook the opportunity of telling about Sey
mour's Farmers club and what it Is doing to
make the city and its rural customers real busi-
ness associates
The word is going farther, too, than the farth-
est reaches Of Indiana. Grange organizations,
commercial clubs and agricultural colleges here
and there all over the country making In
quries of Seymour about the club So besides
making it easy for the rural neighbor to enjoy
himself while trading there, Seymour is gather
ing to itself q stack of advertising valuable be-
yond computation
What has been done In Seymour be done
IN any other agricultural community In the
United States. 1t isn't necessary that the club
should be memorial to anybody; nor that 1t
should be monument to the generosity and pub
lie spirit of two men; that 1t should
be housed in a specimen of classic architecture.
Four or six rooms would serve the purpose nicely,
If converted properly to club These rooms
might be found in detached residence
the second or third floor of a business block. The
expenses might be prorated among the business
men, and the farmers themselves might pay a
modest initiation fee and nominal dues. Where
there's a will there's way-as the fellow said.
Anyhow. it sounds pretty poppy and up-to-date,
doesn't it, to overhear farmer say to his
neighbor on Saturday morning in town: swell,
Ed let's run over to the club and have taik-"7

tables, butter, eggs, and poultry to the town that

you might say that the legitimate profits on 1t

But until the time that Seymour's leading bust
ness men decided to recognize the value Of farmer
trade by putting up clubhouse for the mar
keters, the country people certainly didn't enjoy
the hospitality that good steady customers in most
lines of commerce may expect nowadays. In fine
weather they brought their lunch with them and
ate it in their wagons parked In side streets. and
in bad weather they bought crackers and cheese
and bologna and munched 1t as they stood around
the stoves hotair registers in the back of the
stores where they sold butter and eggs. That
wasn't so bad for the menfolks, but 1t was mighty
inconvenient for the farm women, especially IL
they brought the children along to town, and
