Lack of Wind Prevents Contest for
 Jersey State Pcnnant.

Red Bank, N. J., Jan. 12.-Lacl1 of wind prevented the sailing of the sec ond race for the state championship ice yacht pennant yesterday after noon between the Ingenue and the Silver Heels of the Long Branch club. With the Ingenue's victory of yes terday, the local club is confident that it's defenders will make it two straight today in light or heavy winds.
 COntrasted with the reefed and weighted boats for yesterdays race in a gale, the four racers were rigged full sail and frightened as much as possible for the light wind today. Reu- ben White had even removed the iron grating located back of the runner plank of the Ingenue and used as a forward cockpit in heavy winds. Af- ter waiting almost two hours for the wind to come up, the regatta com mittee was forced to postpone the event until tomorrow morning, when what may prove the deciding race will be sailed.

Powerful Explosive.

Inc liquid oxygen explosive appears,
from notices In the German technical
press, to have been developed as a min
ing substitute for nitric explosives,
which had been all taken for military
purposes. 1t was discovered a score
OF years ago that when a carbonaceous
material is saturated with liquid oxy-
gen and ignited by fuse or electrici-
ty, the carbon and oxygen combine
violently, and successful trials were
made in blasting. This explosive,
called "oxyliquit," is now doing duty
quite extensively in breaking up coal
and potash. In seeking a combusNble,
experiments were made with mixture
of gasoline and infusorial earth. pull
verified cork, dry wood pulp and dried
peat, but the best results were OBJ
tanned with lampblack. This is placed
In suitable cartridge. In the pre-
ferred method the filed cartridge is
immersed for half an hour in LIQUID
oxygen in special container, and
then, with an ignition system quickly
attached, is placed In the borehole,
tamped and exploded. The effects are
nearly equal to those from the same
weight of dynamite. The serious dis
advantage of the method is the neces-
sity of liquefying the oxygen at the
place where used; but very great ad.
vantage Is safety in transportation,
and especially complete lack of danger
from unexploded cartridges. The oxA
ygen evaporates In about ten minutes,
leaving simply inert lampblack.

This Bug Has a Cows Eacs.

You would perhaps not notice this
cowlike face and fur collar unless you
should use pocket lens, which every
scout should have. Then you will find
the monohammus or sawyer beetle ex-
tremely interesting, says Edward f.
Bigelow, scout naturalist, discussing
this curious insect in Boys Life.
These beautiful brown and gray
beetles are, including the. antennae,
about an Inch and quarter long. The
antennae or feelers are as long as the
body in the case of the female and
twice as long in the male,
Where shall you look for these curl
Gus beetles? Search among the needle
like leaves of the pine and fir. The
larvae are found in the sound wood Of
these trees. Sometimes the mature
beetles occur In such numbers as to
do real injury TO the trees, but ordi-
narily they are not very plentiful, and
most scouts are not familiar with
them. even where they are fairly album
dant.

CIVILIZATIONS OF THE PAST
Nations With High Degree Of cultIva-
tion That Are Now Only Memory
In Hlstory's Pages.

Thousands of years ago-long before
the great western nations of today,
long before even Greek and Roman
were heard of-there were more or
less advanced civilizations on both
sides of the Pacific. China, for exam
pie, had grown into stable Mongol-
ian kingdom perhaps 1000 years be-
fore the beginning Of our era. A
Chinese author writes: "There is no
existing nation In the world that has
larger past than China. She has
seen the rise and fall of the ancient
Egyptian dynasties; the extension of
the Persian empire; the conquests of
Alexander; the irresistible advance of
the Roman legions; the deluge Of the
Teutonic hordes from the north, and
the birth of all the nations of modern
Europe"
The Japanese also, a people COM
pounded of various elements, but
chiefly Mongolian and Malayan, stood
stood at the beginning of our era on
high plane of civilization, and even
then exhibited the tendencies and the
adaptiveness which distinguish them
today.
Then away to the east in Central
and South America, civilizations
waxed and waned, reaching their high
est development in the Aztec and In
can empires the latter of which was
an extremely interesting example of
despotic socialism.

WAR CROPS HAVE INCREASED
County Agents Boost Hog Production
and Sugar Beet Yields In State
Of Minnesota.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A z per cent increase in hog produc.
ton and a % per cent increase in
sugar-beet production over the pre-
ceding year is the result of campaigns
carried on this year by county agents
In Minnesota. When the Gull came for
more pork and more sugar as war
emergency, surveys were made in
those sections of the state where hogs
are raised and where sugar beets are
grown profitably. The county agents
advised farmers to raise one litter
more of pigs and to house and feed
them properly. In spite Of the fact
that there has been a shortage of corn
for feeding and that large number
of brood sows and hogs were sold and
shipped to neighboring states where
corn was more plentiful, the increase
in production was made. A larger
acreage in sugar beets was also Sc
cured through the efforts of the agents.

NO EXPRESSION IN THE EYES
Quite as Much in Those of Glass as in
the Natural ones, is Recent
Assertion.

Z A writer in the London Chronicle
changes its expression, and no doubt
he Is correct In that assertion. Ne
may take 1t for granted, if he Is just
writer. that he never discovered this
for himself, but is merely recording
fact that has been demonstrated by
scientific observers The eye appar-
emily expresses variety of emotions,
and writer's As a glass are continually
recording these changing expressions
with all the adjectiyal wealth they can
command. The heroes, heroines and
villains of fiction are always register
ing emotions with their eyes, and
when you read the convincing descrip-
tons You simply have to believe them.
What is more, any day at the movies
you can see the heroes, hernlnes and
villains actually performing these
stunts with their eyes. You don't have
to take the words of authors for Ii;
the movie actors furnish the Q. Il. Il.
So what Is the use of contradicting
facts that are universally recognized?
Most of us meet and talk with several
dozen persons every day. and we pass
hundreds of others in the streets. Ii
you observe the eyes of any of those
persons you cannot fail to note that
they reveal one or another mental or
emotional state. The eyes are cold.
Indifferent, questioning. melancholy, 2
petulant mirthful, mildly amused or
what not, as the case may be. They
also reflect holiness, timidity, self-as-
surance, diffidence, coquetry, and
variety of dominant temperamental at
tributes.
However, we are told that the eyes
never behave In any such fashion, and
we are forced to believe it. The eyes
themselves are Incapable of emotional
change. Novelists are always having
eyes flash with rage" and all that
sort of thing, and most of us are con-
WINGED that we have frequently seen
eyes flash. But no rage or emotion of
any sort can change the glistening of
the eye. The flashing or glistenng of
the eye depends wholly upon reflected
light. That light Is reflected from two
places. the pupil and the white, and
neither of these brightnesses is gov
erned by the mental or emotional state.
The effect of the changing expressions
OF the eye is really given by the vari-
Gus ticking of the muscles in the flesh
surrounding the eye and by the eye
lids. The flashing effect is undOubted-
ly produced by wider opening of the
lids, which exposes more of the white
for light reflection. In a "twinkling'
eye 1t is not the eye but the lids and
the surrounding muscles that really
twinkle. AS matter of fact, first
class glass eye would appear to be
just as expressive emnt0nally as a
natural eye.-F. III. Young, In PrOyi-
dence Journal.

EASTERN FARMERS PRACTICE EFFICIENT
HUSBANpRY IN CONSERVING PLANT FOOD

is being removed, and partly by abb
sence of dry combustion, or 'frefang,"
so common in manure piles exposed
to the weather.
Occasionally farmer is found who
sprinkles land plaster on the manure
at intervals, the amount ranging from
one to two tons year, applied at the
rate of bushel a week. Disinte-
grated feldspar rock, common in the
vicinity, has been used with good eff
feet, but as a general thing the ma
nure is not treated with chemical fer
tilizers
When Manure Is Applied.
The manure is hauled to the fields
twice a year on the majority Of
farms. Many farmers apply it dur
ing the winter when the ground Is
frozen and hauling is easier and when
there is more time for this work. but
this should not be done on hillside
land or where there is danger of the
manure being washed away when the
snow melts and before the ground Is
sufficiently thawed to allow the sol.
uble material to sink in. In general
practice the sod is usually MANFRED
in the early spring at the rate of
eight to ten tons an acre, and is i'm
mediately plowed and rolled. In the
fall manure Is applied to oats and
corn stubble land. The barnyard is
so arranged that the team and
spreader can be driven into any part
of It, including the covered portion,
where loading can be done directly.
The bulletin describes in detail the
crop rotation plan and methods OF
handling manure on ten Chester coun-
ty farms, on each Of which the yield
of corn is maintained at IS bushels
or more an acre. and where high
yields are being made at no sacrifice
Of profit. These farms offer good ex'
amples Of the way in which manure
should be handled and utilized to Sc
cure the greatest possible returns.
