most remarkable archaeological dis

become the property Of the "atio:
and the silver vessels have been trans
ferred to the Queen Street museum
in this city. The silver is said to b.
exceptionally pure.
The site Of the discovery is known
AS Traprain Law. 1t was once a for
titled area, which covers sixty acres
and gives evidence Of occupation a
intervals during the first four cen
turies of the Christian era. j is be-
lieved to have been at one tine th',
site of a Celtic settlement under 10

Ground area necessary for the con

about one square mile. Each hang

wide and from $50 to 200 feet high.
1t is probably that all steel construc

that from six to eight months will be
needed for their erection.
Provision for the purchase abroad
of a Zeppelin type airship at a cost
not to exceed S2.500.00G is made in
the naval bill, and the construction in
this country of a similar machine at
a cost Of s1,500.000. 1t is probable
that the machine purchased abroad
will be OF the British R-34 model
although larger. 1t probably will be
flown to this country by an American
crew, the only other alternative being
to attempt to tow it by cables made
fast to ship. Negotiations looking to

gard to signals in automobile driving.
Any driver ought to be able to give
n signal so that anyone else could
know what the driver means by the
signal. To start with. practically all
cars are left hand drives.
First: If YOU intended turning a
corner TO your left you should put out
vour hand pointing to the left. l do
not mean TO just stick your hand out
OF the side of your car. but to hold
it out firmly with the three bottom
fingers closed leaving your top finger
pointing directly to the left. This
would indicate nothing but left turn
and anyone driving behind could pro-
ceed TO pass on the right side.
Second: If the driver intends
turning TO tllc right let him put his
left hand out of the car max
ine, a curved motion to The right.
This can be easily done by keeping the
PALM of your hand open. the fingers
together and making one or two
curved motions at the wrist to the
right Cor the front of your carr which
would indicate nothing but a right
hand turn.
The pointing of The finger would
give you the left turn. the curving OF
The hand would give you the right
turn: then the only other signal you

Curing Tobacco With Coal.

Mr.. A. K. Bernshouse. who planted
the Moses road. found when curing
ti.le arrived that it was impossible
to obtain wood to fire the barn in the
usual manner. so he had a coal fur
mace rigged UP by Mr.. j. NJ. Hardy.
He has cured three barns thus far,
using soft coal as fuel, and the re-
suit has been entirely satisfactory.
both as to cost and quality Of tobac-
co. The first two barns were filled
with light tobacco-sand lugS-anG
they We're cured in less than fifty
hours each and only one-half ton of
coal was used for the two barns. The
third barn was filled with heavier to-
bacco and this was cured in fifty-two
hours and little less than one-half
ton of coal was consumed. The quail
ity of the tobacco was above the av
erage and when offered for sale on
the warehouse floor it extracted atten-
ton from all the buyers. The better
grades brought the highest price paid
on the opening day. Mr.. Bernshouse's
experiment with coal as fuel for
curing tobacco may be of value to
other tobacco growers who find diff
fculty in obtaining reasona bic
price The time required TO cure a
barn of tobacco with coal is less than
the average with wood and the in
dications are that coal furnished
more uniform heat and turns out
better u,,a 1itv of tobacco Coal seems
also to be more economical. since
much less coal is required to cure
barn than wood.
