SAILORS MADE FIRST CLASS

One Of the most useful materials in
the world is glass. 1t Is not only
domestic necessity, but a scientific es-
sential. The development Of chemistry
would have been far more laborius
process had 1t not been for the many
utensils manufactured from glass. So
numerous and varied are Its uses that
one can hardly conceive Of present
day civilization without this product.
Yet the discovery Of this valuable ma
terial was what might be termed an
accident, Floyd w. Parsons writes in
the Saturday Evening Post.
As the story runs, merchant ship
laden with natron, a brittle white car
Donate Of sodium, was driven ashore at
the mouth of the River Belus in Phe-
nicia. The crew prepared their food
on the beach, supporting their kettles
on piles made up Of Jumps Of the ma
from. Later the sailors were amazed
to discover transparent masses Of
stone among the cinders Of their fires.
The heat had melted the soda and the
siliceous sand together, with the result
that a crude variety Of glass was
formed. II the early records are cor
rect the art of glass manufacture was
exclusively an industry Of the Phenici-
ans One reason for crediting this
statement is the fact that the ingredi-
ents Of glass-natron, sand and fuel
were abundant upon the coast Of
Phenicia.

E. A. SLIKER DOING GOOD
BUSINESS AT POMONA

We note the following in the Pom

pioneer:
The lumber yards are busy places
these days. Today the Hammond
lumber yard on East Second Street
is unloading nine car loads of lum-
Der. The shipment constitutes an en-

ago at San Pedro. Manager E. A.
Sliker says the building activity in
Pomona is certain to continue. "Pee-
pie like Pomona" he said. They are
beginning to find out now that it is
the ideal spot in the southland, and
we are just starting to grow"
This morning Mr.. Sliker entertained
a party Of officials Of the Hammond
Lumber company, including H. W.
McCloud, general manager of the
southern division with offices In Los
Angeles, and two representatives Of
the president Of the company, A. B.

REASON FOR CoLORED EGGS

Nature equips all living things with
protection Of some kind against their
enemies.
The larger animals are able, by rea-
son Of their strength. to give a good
account Of themselves in combat. Birds
and many Of the smaller animals de-
pend upon the rapidity Of their move
ments But there is another effective
means Of self-preservation known as
protective coloration."
Snakes and many varieties of fish
form an excellent illustration. Their
scales are so colored that they blend
with the surrounding rocks or the shad.
ows Of the water, making them al
most invisible to the eye. In fact, 1t
is only when one of these protective
ly colored animals moves that its pres
ence Is apparent.
The same principle is responsible
for the different colors Of birds eggs.
The mother bird is unable to fight
aggressively, so she has to seek refuge
IN flight. During the time she Is
away from the nest, either seeking
safety from her enemies or looking
for food. the eggs must be protected
In some manner. 1t lie for this reason
that they are colored to blend with
the surroundings in which they are
laid-some Of them spotted because
they are laid In the sand or among
pebbles, others buff-colored or green
to match the material of the nest

REGULARITY OF DREAMS

A curious hint Is given by dreams
Of things which are impossible sub
jects, 1t would seem, Of thought. ]
hardly know how to tell my mean
ing, but fellow dreamers will be able
to interpret by their own experience.
We have dreamed something, 1t was
clear, the impression fingers when we
wake. But 1t is not reducible to terms
Of thought, much less words. We have
no grasp on 1t as an image or SEN
sation, yet in sope remote corner OF
ourself we know perfectly what 1t was.
II is not matter Of having forgot
ten--the thing is inexpressible to 9th.
ers or ourself. Only itself knows
what 1t was, and itself is buried away
somewhere within us. When vainly
trying to master the conception Of the
fourth dimension we are reminded OF
those dreams.-Exchange.

THE MAN WITH THE TOE

Here is an extract from an article
in the Geographical Magazine. in
which the writer describes the labori-
GUS culture Of rice on hillsides in the
Yangtze valley:
1.-THE roily water makes the hoeing
Of his rice field impossible; so he does
not hoe It, he toes 1t. With bare foot
he feels about the plant with his toes,
and II he finds a weed, he toes 1t out I;
then presses the dirt firmly in place
again. with his right foot he toes
two rows, with his left foot he toes
four rows as he goes. That's the
way he hoes"
White men can never expect-nor
should be expected--to compete with
this sort Of thing.-Los Angeles

ALTAR USED BY COLUMBUS

Angel Curras Of Corunna, Spain,
and Gonzales Blanco, noted Spanish
artist, have brought to Brooklyn the
original small altar presented to
Christopher Columbus by Queen lisa
bella and used by Columbus on his
first voyage Of discovery on the dag
ship Santa Maria. The antique was
obtained by Curras after several years
Of endeavor, and Is to be delivered
to Pernas, Collado & Co, an export
Ing firm. The authenticity Of this
altar and q number Of other antiques
which Curras brought is certified to
BY affldavits made before Ralph O.
Busser, American consul at Corunna.
The altar was originally a gift from
Queen Isabella to Christopher Colum-
bus, according, to the account given by
Mr.. Curras, and, besides eight carv-
lngs in bone depicting scenes in the
life Of Christ, contains also small por-
traits in carved bone Of King Ferdi-
uand and Queen Isabella. The small
shrine II about sixteen inches high
and fourteen inches wide, and the
hinged cover. in two pieces folds over
the top, making q compact cabinet.
Each Of the doors has hanging
Iron knob used to unfold the shrine.
According to the documents in Mr..
Curras' possession, this shrine is one
Of q collection Of twenty antiques he
Is bringing to this country. On in
spection BY customs officials the
shrine was ordered sent to the ap-
praisers' stores, that valuation

PEMAQUID. 1907

In this time of commemorating the
Pilgrims, the people Of PemaQuid,
Maine, rise to remind the world that
a colony of English settlers landed at
Pemaquid about fourteen years be-
fore the little company that crossed
on the Mayflower debarked at Ply.
mouth. Pemaquid had developed into
quite a trading colony before the Ply.
mouth settlers managed to gain a foot.
hold in the new country. and the
Maine settlers provided the Pilgrims
with a large quantity Of food, accord.
ing to the records, when appealed to
by Governor Bradford. At Pemaquid
may still be seen the remains Of o
fort that was erected in 1880 at q
cost Of 100000, which was two-thirda
of the entire appropriation Of Massa'
chusetts, which then included Maine
for that wear -.

on the farms and showed that the
woman is the big item on the Amer
lean farm. Urged permanent homes
and more interest in the home on the
farm.
Francis A. Chisholm county agricul-
tural agent, true to his mission, urged
more production and better production
as the 'big game" Warned the
farmers of the necessity for rebuild
ing the soil on their farms.
F. NJ. Gold, county attorney, ex-
planned pooling contracts and showed
that they are the only fair contracts
for the farmers to adopt.
L. w. Cureton, secretary Of the CO.
conino county farm bureau, urged q
stronger organization. He argued for
the Incorporation of the bureau. He
then took up the marketing associa-
ton and showed why it cannot sue
cessfully exist without the bureau. He
urged the necessity for changing the
articles of incorporation of the mark
citing association from non-stock to
stock, in order that farmers of all
means may own stock in the market
ing association, article vi of the
marketing association was adopted,
providing that:
This association shall be organized
with capital stock, to consist of one
Thousand shares par value $4,000. No
members shall be allowed to own or
control in excess of per cent of the
total amount of capital stock. The
board of directors may allow interest,
not to exceed 10 per cent per annum,
on stock purchased by its members,
but all stock shall bear interest at the
same per cent. The association shall
reserve the right to purchase its own
shares at stock at par at any time the
directors shall direct. Shares Of stock
may be purchased with money, labor,
or property acceptable to the direct
ors. III
Mr.. Cureton explained what had
been done in Phoenix toward market
ing the potatoes of the association.
He urged the copyrighting Of trade
name for all produce handled by the
association. He showed how the farm
ers of Coconino county had lost heav-
lily on their potatoes this year because
number Of them had failed to
grade properly. He showed how the
Flagstaff potatoes had been practi-
cally driven off the Phoenix market by
this inferior stuff. They are now SELL
ing below market price in Phoenix.
It will be money in the pockets of the
farmers if they all stand together for
the market price.
A most interesting feature was the
noontime spread prepared by the
farmer ladies. While opinions differed
on other topics before the meeting,
they were all in complete accord on
this occasion. So strong was the SEN
timent in favor Of the ladies that it
was unanimously voted that the third
Saturday of November Of each year
be designated Farmers Day" and
that this be the regular annual meet
ing day Of the bureau and the asso-
citation. Mr.. Morgan of Govern
ment Prairie suggested that the farm
ers use the Garland Prairie barbecue
day as an appropriate day for farm
ers to hold their second annual meet
ing. The meeting showed that the
farmer ladies are as much interested
in progressive marketing as their en-
terprising husbands.
President L. E. Johnson presided in
most acceptable manner.

wATERWORKs IN THE DESERT

In the big desert Of Chile there Il
a considerable amount Of brackish
water, but no water that either hu.
man beings or stock can drink.
Science, however, has come to the aid
Of the rainless section Of the coun-
try In the form Of an ingenious desert
waterworks, consisting Of series of
frames containing 10000 square feet
Of glass. The panes Of glass are ar.
ranged in the shape Of a v, and un-
der each pane is shallow pan con-
tanning brackish water. The heat Of
the sun evaporates the water, which
condenses upon the sloping glass and,
made pure by this operation, It runs
down into little channels at the bot.
tom Of the V and is carried away into
the main canal. 1t Is said that nearly
Thousand gallons Of fresh water Is
collected daily BY this means.
