BOOK FARMING.

The question, What is Agrieul-
fura?., would be answered very diff
fefenyfy today by the agricultural
/. colleges from the way in which it
was in the early days of such schools.
Formerly agriculture and special
frasning for it seemed primarily con-
ceaned with individual. farm process
es such as plowing and planting. To-
day there are new phases OF the
work which the average farmer
wagss the schools to help him study.
Farm management, the economies Il
distribution. credit, transportation and
marketing Of crops all have an inti-
mate bearing on the farmer success.

OLD MUSIC AND NEW.

One of the interesting phases Of the
present reaction against jazz in MI
sic, art and life, is seen in the revival
Of old light operas which is going on
in many cities Robin Hood, Tie
Nikado, The Fortune Teller, The
Serenade are being given here and
there by professionals and amateurs
to houses not only crowded but SO de-
lighted that, as the reviewer says IN
a typical instance, the opera was
practically given twice, so insistent
was the audience upon encores. In
another case, a man asked al the Of
Zee how long the show would last.
AS long as the audience will stand
for it, was the cheerful reply, ''ane
they seem to be standing for q good
deal Of it!''
Why is the cd stuff SO attractive :?
Because it is really and fundamental
ly good, the music critics say. The
books, particularly those written by
Gilbert and those by Harry Smith, are
full Of clever lines which do not age.
The music is not cheap stuff, patch
work Of stolen themes, ciap-trap har-
monies and jazzy rhytl,nls, trying 10
make up with harbaric noise and
what it lacks IN civilized ideas. as is
the case with the latest musical COM
t.6ies. The Sullivan music, the. De
Keven music, the Victor Herbert ma
sic is sound in structure, clever in its
chara c, erization, just as funny in the
way Il is bull, and the way it fits
the lines as anything in the lines
themselves. The Alikado is particc-
larly rich in tiny bits of musical bur-
lesque, as humorous TO the musician
as the whole ridiculous plot 10 the
p,ay-lovei. Robin Hood has enough
really good, original music TO fur

shows. Victor Herbert's outstanding
characteristic is his exceptionally
rich and glowing orchestration.
The people who compose the aud-
fences seldom realize these musical
beauties on the technical side, a.
professional musicians do. But they
do realize that here is freshness tc
cheer their jaded palates. Here are
rosy apples and popcorn before III
autumn fire, after the hothouse air Of
jazzy restaurants.
There is nothing sexy OF unpleas-
ant in any Of these operas. They are
so full of good stuff that they do not
have to rely on vice or falsity for their
appeal. Their fun is riotous, friendly
fun, without particle of sting or
dark brown taste next morning. The
delight Of audiences in these reviva:s
is one Of the most wholesome signs of

corpuscles.
These would naturally hit our
earth in greater numbers near the
equator since this is the part Of the
earth most exposed to their infiu-
ence. These corpuscles are caught
by the magnetic lines of force, and
carried towards the north and south
poles, getting nearer and nearer the
surface of the earth all the time.
At a certain distance from the
poles, they find themselves in an
atmosphere resembling that in high

tubes), and they then begin to give

1t is these shifting and darting
lines of the Cathode rays which ac-
count for the Aurora Borealis, as
well as other phenomena which have
long puzzled scientists; and the con-
nection. now traced, between the
sunspots and the Aurora can thus
be shown also since a connection
naturally exists between these spots
and the energy OF the corpuscles

served to explain them in a salts
