beans have always sold for more than
the pintos that condition has changed
and people appear 10 prefer the pinto.
And we can actually sell the pintos for
better price than we can the pinks.
when the writer inquired as to what
brought about this change in the com
parative markets OF these two beans,
he got the following reply: First of
all the pinto is conceded to be the bet
ter bean. In the past few years there
have been plenty Of these and they

Believe Magnetic Poles
Have Slow Motion Around
the Geographical Poles

The geographical poles Of the earth
are the extremlties Of the imaginary
line passing through Its center OF
gravity and about which It revolyes,
and are therefore symmetrlcally To-
Gated with regard to the equator. The
magnetic poles, however, are not CO.
incident with the geographical poles,
nor are they Numerically opposite to
each other. Prior to the recent at
tempt of Amundsen to determine the
north magnetic pole, the only other
was by Capt. James Ross In June,
1881, who found the dip Of the mag
netic needle to be so degrees, so min
utes, seconds, IN latitude 20 de-
grees, 8 minutes, seconds. north, and
longitude 90 degrees, 40 minutes, 8
seconds, west, which is in King Will
liam Land, Canada. The result Of
Amundsen's observations has not yet
been published by the Norwegian au'
thorities. For the south magnetic
pole, from consideration Of all the
results available, according to the
United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey, the position of latitude 72 d9.
grees, z minutes, south, and longitude
1853 degrees, east, has been tentatively
adopted. These values are only rough
ly Appropriated and for that reason
are given only In degrees and tenths.
By reason of the annual variation OF
the magnetic needle, It is believed the
magnetic poles are not stationary, but
have slow motion around the geo.
graphical poles. The subject is shroud-
ed In mystery and constitutes one OF
the many as yet unsolved problems In
terrestrial physics.

"Many stories are extant tending to
show that toads have been found alive
In rocks or In soil deep In the earth !;
yet so far as investigated by the writer
In no case has the evidence been at all
conclusive" says A. II. Kirkland In an
artlcIe on "'rhe Garden Toad" In Boys
life. "0n the other hand. experiments
have shown that toads may be kept
alive at least IS months sealed up in
plaster or limestone. There Is little
doubt that the toad may live TO be
20 years old. or more.
Though II lives alone In summer,
toads often hibernate In colonies OF
half a dozen or more. In feeding,
usually by night, the toad patrols a
fairly well-defined beat garden and
flower beds are frequented, and par
ticularly the ground under arc lights,
where numerous insects fall flutterIng
from the, lamps above. When food is
abundant, as shown by experiments on
tonds In cages, the animal eats an
equivalent Of four square meals daily,
consisting OF caterplllars, cut-worms,
beetles, ants, etc"

Soldiers Were Capable OF Doing Con
siderable Execution With the
Bow and Arrow.

The first "gun" used In warfare was
Undoubtedly the crossbow-arbalest-
Of the type having a reflex composite
bow made Of wood, sinew, horn or
whalebone. and wound up with =
rachel or "crannequln," which slipped
on over the stock and was held In
place BY a loop controlled by trans
verse peg In the stock just behind the
lock.
This weapon reached its highest
development In Germany under Maxi
milan. when Il had a steel bow OF
immense power. There is one In the
Boston museum with a bow Of over
two and one-half inches wide and near
iy three-fourths OF an inch thick. In
central Europe. France and Spain the
bow was not used much save by the
people who came under Mohammedan
influence. The ross-how being much
easier weapon to use, II was forbidden
In England to anyone not having a
certain income, In order that the yeo-
men snd common people should be
forced 10 use the long bow, which In
military purposes was vastly superior
on account OF the rapidlty OF its fire,
although outranged by the crossbow.
II had one gres. advantage Of light
ness. A military crossbow with wind
lass weighs about 20 pounds.

The agent visited both Of these plots
ON July - and found the following
conditions:
The plot Of four acres of the Lee
brothers was planted on May 18th ana
18th with seed that came from Arizo-
mn. The land was irrigated before
planting and twice since then. On the
day mentioned the cotton plants meas
nred from IL TO 30 inches in height.
The average was about 81 inches. the
squares numbered from 20 to IS. We
would Judge the average to he about
30 to the plant. The first bloom ap'
peared on July 9th.
The agent put the best plant on eN-
hibition ut the Deming cooperative
Exchange. This plant measured 81
inches high aud had Is squares ANA
one bloom.
Most Of the squares have from , IL
2 locks. though quite number were
found that contained from four to five
locks.
The Lee Brothers are old-time cot
tnn growers. and while this Is the first
time they have attempted to grow the
Pima variety. they can see no reason
iudging from present conditions of the
crop. why this plot should'not make
bale ia the acre. The price FOR TINS
variety last year they say. ranged
from 77c to $1.2I per pound.
The Gard Brothers Of Waterloo are
experimenting on much smaller plot

The, gentleman is correct, but, SO far

the candidacy of Pollard has come to
light. And naturally, to repudiate
the State mad, and their votes would
be lost perhaps.
OF course every negro man and

vote for Pollard, and perhaps few
white folks also, just for spite if
for no other reason. Wonder how
