Citv PlanninQ.

Primarily. city planning deals with
eal estate, with the streets which the
people own, and with the ground on
which they have erected their homes
and places of business. We must real
re that city real estate carries with
t obligations as we'll as benefits.
When citizens buy property they buy
more than just so many feet OF
ground. They buy location, transport
:ation, gas, electric light service,
neighbors, good streets, proximity to
parks or boulevards.
City planning is merely co-ordi-
nation and conservation Of these diff.
rerent elements which make up the
value Of property thus purchased by
citizens contemplating residence in a
given locality. a plan for city,
therefore, is quite like a plan for q
residence. The latter has merely to
10 with an individual home, the for
mer with a larger home-the city

TRACED TO PRIMITIVE DAYS
General Use as Indicating a
Token Of Reckoning.

1.-THE days Of our age are three
score years and ten," said the Psalm
list, showing that our fOrefathers reck-
oned by vows, a system of keeping
account Of figures based probably in
it's original form upon the practice
of counting upon the fingers and toes.
The word score itself comes from
the Anglo-Saxon, being nothing more
than the word "scoren," which is the
past participle of "sceran''-
to cut. It indicated notch or fncfsion
made upon a talEy-stick for the pur-
pose Of keeping a record Of financial
transactions
The "score-mark" was the twentieth
notch upon these primitive account
books"-a cut which was longer and
deeper than the others. Hence the
expression. ito pay off old Scores -
means not only the repayment of old
debts, but the revenging of grievances
which have cut deep and left last
ing impression.
1t is for the same reason, that of
reckoning, that we speak of the
"score" Of a game-neaning the rec
ord Of the points made-and the
"score" or musical record of an opera.

For the benefit of farmers who are

against dampnesS. The fleece will
keep the sheep warm If it is dry. A
good shed open on the south will serve
the purpose until lambing time, when
a warm barn is necessary if the wealth
err is at all cold. After the corn
is shucked the sheep can run In the

FIT MATE FOR GREAT MAN
Wife of President Monroe Famous on
Two Continents for Her DipIo-
macy and Tact.

Elizabeth kOrtright, wife of James
Monroe, fifth President Of the United
States, and Trainer of the Monroe doc
trine, was in every way suited for the
position of Madame President. Digni-
fed, almost courtly, well educated and
accustomed to the society Of states
men, Elizabeth Kortright, when she
married Mr.. Monroe in 1856 was ade-
quately prepared to assume the re-
sponsibility of her high estate.
In 1904, when her husband was sent
as United States minister to France,
Mrs. Monroe accompanied him on this
most important and delicate mission,
and acquitted herself with all the
grace and tact that such a situation
demanded. Again in 1903, when Mr..
Monroe was once more sent to Paris
as the American representative and
consummated the Louisiana purchase,
his wife made her gracious and influ-
entail presence felt in many ways.
And she had power, too, as is testi-
fed to by her interceSSun in the cause
Of Madame de Lafayette, who was
incarcerated in the prison of La Force
hourly awaiting execution. Mrs. Mon
roe, through her tact and diplomacy,
was able to effect the release Of the
distinguished FrrnchWOman.

an unusually tine-lOOking woman

of a statesman, who never said too
much and always enough, and who
guided her distinguished husband with
just the right proportion Of tirmness
and genteness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone were mar
ried happily for more than half cen

Gladstone paid fitting tribute to her
success as a wife.

The one drawback to Mrs. Glad

marriage was the enforced frequent
absence of her husband. She used to
tell her friends that when Mr.. Glad
stone was in office and in London dur

Sprinu Shrubs Blooming in Fall.

The fall blooming of trees and
shrubs which ordinarily bloom only in
the spring, is not an uncommon oc-
currence. However, it is only after
rather unusual growing seasonal con.
dtions that much of it is noted. 1t
is most apt to occur after dry sum-
mer followed by fall rains and favor
able growing conditions during Sep.
tember and October, or perhaps after
trees have been defoliated early in
the season by insects or disease at
tacks Then they start new growth
in the late summer or early fall.
Usually it wealzens the trees or shrubs
somewhat, and they do not produce
quite so much bloom the following
spring.-V. r. Gardner, Professor of

How Power Is Derived From Sun.

CINE with heat derived directly from
sunshine has been made in California.
The rays Of the sun are focused upon
a boiler by means of radiator s.
feet in diameter composed of 1,7SS
small mirrors which are so adjusted
that they all concentrate the sunlight
upon a single central point. The heat
developed is sufficient to melt copper,
and a wooden pole thrust into the
focus bursts into flame at once. The
steam from the suspended boiler is
carried to the engine through flex-

HOW

MACHINE THAT PICKS OUT
DIAMONDS CAME INTO USE.
When the laborers descend
into the diamond mines at KIM
berley, they blast and pick out
the hard diamOndferOus earth
and place it in wooden tubs that
are hauled on stout wires to the
surface, where the earth is
spread over the ground to I'M
dergo, for several months, the
softening influences Of heat and
cold. When it is soft enough 1T
is shoveled into the washing
machines, where the dirt is sep
arated from the rough diamonds
and other large mineral sub
stances. The mixture Of miner
ais remaining Is known as "cOn-
centrates."
1t was formerly necessary to
go carefully over these concen-
trates to pick out the garnets
and many other foreign sub
stances, until nothing remained
but the rough diamonds. This
was a slow and laborious opera
ton, but 1t was an essential
part Of the mining industry I'M
til it was superseded not so
many years ago.
Among the employees I'm the
sorting room was youth by
the name Of Kersten, who went
quietly to work to find way
to separate the diamonds from
other stones more quickly and
more easily than could be done
by the slow process of hand
picking. He was not discour-
aged by his many failures to
find that way.
One day by the merest chance
the boy made the discovery he
was seeking. A rough diamond
and garnet happened to be
lying on small board on the
bench where he was working.
He raised one end Of the board.
The garnet slipped off, but the
diamond remained. He found
that there was coating Of
grease on the board that had
retained the diamond, but not
the garnet.
The boy procured wider
board, coated the side Of it with
grease, and dumped a few hand
fulS Of concentrates on it.
Then he found that, by holding
the board in slightly inclined
position and vibrating it, all the
concentrates except the dia
monds moved to the lower end
and fell off, while the diamonds
remained in place.
Then the boy invented a ma
chine by which his discovery
might be utilized. Considerable
study was required to perfect
it, but at last the machine was
completed, and the diamond
magnates were invited to wit
ness the new method of separat-
ing diamonds from the rest of
the concentrates.
The invention was an entire
success. A more simple and
complete device for saving time,
labor, and loss of diamonds
could not be imagined. The
entire work is now done by ma
chinery, Manipulating has been
wholly superseded, and both the
inventor and the mine owners
have profited handsomely by
the labor-saving machine
