MOON INFLUENCE is ABSURD
Phases of the Great Night llluminator
Have Nothing to Do With Crops,
Say Scientists.
STARTS DECEMBER

In the farmers almanacs you will
find tables of dates proper for plant
ing crops, killing hogs and SO on based
upon the phases Of the moon. And
the Rural New Yorker is authority for
the statement that many farmers still
adhere faithfully to this ancient sys-
tenn. To show them how absurd this
is, it prints the following statement
by G. F. Marvin, chief Of the United
States weather bureau:
''It is the general belief Of scientists
that the moon has no appreciate in
fiuence on temperature, rainfall, or
any other weather element, or on plant
growth.
@Plant growth depends upon temper
allure, light, humidity and plantfood
Cloth In the soil and in the airy, and
its availability. Obviously the moon
neither mellows the ground nor fer
tilizes it, neither does it alter the COM
position Of the atmosphere: hence it
affects neither the mechanical condi.
ton Of the soil nor the kind or guam
tity of available plantfood.
IF the moon has any influence on
plant growth it would seem that 1t
must exert this influence through its
light. Experiment, however, shows
that when plant is SO Swallowed that
it gets only one one-hundredth of nor.
NAL daylight, it grows but little better
than it does In absolute darkness. Full
daylight is about 100000 times bright
er than full moonlight; hence one one
hundredth Of daylight, already too fee
BILE to stimulate appreciably plant ac-
tivity, is still 5000 times brighter than
full moonlight. The conclusion is that,
even in respect to light stimulus, the
moons influence on plant growth is
wholly negligible"

Work and the Busy World,

Are you one Of the persons who can
not work In a crowd? If you are, you
are most unfortunate person, for it
is a fact that in this busy age most Of
us have to learn to do our work
wherever we may happen to be. It is
seldom that we find 1t possible to work
in seclusion, shut away from the noise
and rush of business, observes an eff
cheney engineer.
Most large business concerns are
beehives of activity. Unless one can
find It possible to concentrate on the
work in hand, even in the midst Of
confusion, 1t is plain to see that much
time will be lost and much energy
wasted In this rushing world, where
each one faces many duties in many
lines Of activity.

mSTs FOR USING SOFT COAL.
Suggestions Given BY United states
Fuel Administration.

Fuel Administration,
Since soft coal must be more gem
orally used in Maryland, the follow
ing simple but serviceable directions
for using soft coal are presented by
Ferdinand A. Meyer, Fuel Admins
traitor with request that hard coal be
displaced by soft whenever possible:
FIRST: When starting fresh
fire. lay aside some lump coal. III
too large break the Jumps to about
the size of an apple. This will pres
vent too much smoke, while the fire
is burning up and getting into good
shape. After the fire is burnt up
bright. keep feeding it with lump.
coal until the necessary depth Of
fire is made, after which the coal
can be used as it comes. Care, how
ever, should be taken to see that 1t is
only put on the fire in small quanti-
ties. Never put a heavy bed of green
or fresh coal on the fire, as this will
prevent the free passage of air
through the bed Of fuel, with the re-
suit that too much smoke and uncon-
sumed gas will be formed, which
means not only a direct loss of coal,
but the deposit of SCOT will be too
heavy in the passage to the chimney
and in the chimney which will in
turn reduce the efficiency of the
heating apparatus.
i. SECOND: Before putting a fresh
supply OF coal on the fire, always use
the poker, stirring the fire up from
the CRATE and breaking the surface
of the fuel bed properly; then let the
fire burn few minutes or until the
flames have disappeared Then APP
ply fresh charge, but as already
advised only slight covering. The
methods of using the two Kinds of
coal are entirely opposite to each
other. The hard coal fire should
never be disturbed by the use of a
l poker, while the more the poker is
used with the soft coal fire the better
/ will be the results.
/ THIRD:-Never entirely close the
damper to the chimney. There must
always be. a free escape for the gases.
FOURTH.-If the fire is banked
at night, the front part of the crate
should be left bare; banking the fire
to the back and covering it well with
fine coal, leaving the fire open, clos
ing the ash pit door and partly clos
/ ing the damper to the chimney but
do not close dampor to such an ex-
tent that the gas will be prevented
from going up the chimney.
! FINALLY: Keep the ash pit
comparatively clear of ashes and see
that no unburnt coal or cinders are
wasted. The ash pit should always
appear bright from the fire to get
best results.
The only objection to the use of
soft coal seems to be that we have
not been accustomed to it, which is a
common objection to the use Of many
other things. If the people will only
accustom themselves to the use of
soft coal now, when necessity COM
pells US, we will all find in the
future, what now appears to us a
hardship will eventually prove to be
one of the greatest and most valuable
1 lessons taught us by the War.
