The three things farmer must do

the most important factor. Off
springs are not better than the sire.
Many figures were given to show
that an ordinary COW bred to a bull

LOCK OF graf MANS HAIR
Old Watch Has Lene Held Interesting
Relic Of the Mighty Emperor
Napeleen.

A new Napoleon souvenir has just
come to light at viareggio, Italy, now
q fashionable seaside resort not far
from Naples, and its history is inter-
esting. A short time after her broth
er's death at Longwood, st. Helena,
Princess Pauline, favorite sister Of
Napoleon l, sent souvenir OF the
great warrior and emperor to one Of
her intimate friends. Professor Pacini.
q musician, who wrote the musical
work "Sapho." But she sent 1t in a
gold watch carefully pressed between
the watch's outer and inner covers. ex-
plains q writer In the New York World.
As the hair was so well hidden from
view the princess wrote to the musi-
clan telling him of the treasure that
was inside.
The letter, still preserved by his
granddaughter. Francesca Franchi,
born Pacini. is long one, and for
some reason or other the family, like
the original recipient Of the gift, never
bothered about the words, "The lock
Of my dear brothers hair Is between
the two covers Of the watch" and only
treasured the watch and the letter be-
cause both came from Princess Pau
line. SO, great was Signora Franchi's
surprise when. on taking the watch to
the matchmaker, she discovered CLOS
sy lock Of hair between the two covers.
The letter from Pauline was carefully
reread and the words telling of the
lock Of hair now become the most i'm
portant part Of 1t, giving proof that
the hair Is hitherto undiscovered
relic Of Napoleon.
Several offers have been made for
the relic and the letter which explains
1t. but Signora Franchi says she will
not part with it except the Italian
government buys it for one Of the ma
tional museums.

or passed to the leading family. Next,
after the Jacksonian revolution, after
q brief period Of hegem0ny by tavern
brawlers, the scepter passed to the
country editor.
The country editor let the lawyers,
with their vocal huency. occupy the
Offices, but he bossed them. The first
call visiting politician made was
where the sound Of the Franklin press
was heard. The sanctum listened and
judged. Its presiding genius was close
to his people he knew his folks. He
was guide and counselor, for his in
formation, ut least concerning mat
tiers political, was widest. He wrote,
and he wrote well, In days when there
were fewer writer's, but also fewer
smatterers. He took his Job seriously.
His constituency looked to him and
he led 1t straight. Horace Greeley
gained his amazing influence largely
because he was sublimated country
editor-spoke the vernacular and
shared the psychology Of his fellow
craftsmen.
Where old-fashloned country editors
exist one is pretty sure to find a
sound type Of Americanism prevailing
and country boys going to college to
work their way through. And the
local editor, even more than the school
teacher. is the inspirer.

On the ground that the Growing Of

fore the local Judge charged with be-

having declared the rooster was old

adjourned the case to enable the bird

The rooster, however. which came to

The Cats Eye.

The pupil Of a cats eye ordinarily
appears as a long. narrow oval. or a
straight vertical black line. The an
imal seems to be looking through mere
Sits in the iris Of its eye. especially
when 1t faces the light In semi-dark-
ness the pupil widens into a beautiful
oval. One Is disposed to regard the
narrowness Of the pupil as the distin-
gushing popularity Of the eyes Of
cats. All animals Of the cat family
share this popularity, according to the
authority we quote. yet the natural
shape Of the pupil Of the cats eye Ia
circular. BY varying the quantity Of
light entering the eyes experimenters
have seen the pupils Of the eyes of cats
and tigers change from straight lines
TO perfect circles, and while under the
influence Of atropine. which suspends
for a time the muscular contraction
of the eye, they are always circular.
The normal shape Of the cats pupil is
the same as that Of the human pupil,
but when submitted to the influence
Of light Its behavior differs. In a
bright light our pupils become very
small circles, while those of cat
turn Into ovals or narrow Sits. The
general effect in either case is the
same, namely. to diminish the amount
Of light passing into the eye.-Ex-

How Twentieth Century Scientists Have Rubbed the
Magis Lamp and Made the Age-old Dream
of Alchemy Come True
THE AGE OF CHEMISTRY
(Tcld In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND

Within the last few years the world
has been electrified by the vast strides
made in the field of science by the Gre
alive chemist. Indeed, within gener-
alton the influence exerted upon the
entire fabric of our civilization from
within the laboratory has been so
enormous that we are prepared at
last to accept the oft-repeated state
ment that we have passed beyond the
age of machinery and have entered
into the more mysterious age of chem
istry.
What this new era is to bring forth
in the way of scientific discovery rests
upon conjecture, but certainly, the
miracles performed in the last half
century have been sufficient to warrant
almost any expectancy.
America has heard that Germany's
chemists saved her from an early dis
astrous defeat, both in the field and
in the matter of obtaining supplies.
Without the tremendous expansion of
her plants for the production of nj
trates and ammonia from the air by.
processes developed by her great
chemists the war, without question,
would have ended years before it did,
as result of the exhaustion of Ger
many's explosives, if not from the ex-
haustion Of her food supplies because
of the lack of fertilizer for her fields.
So great, in fact, have been the ac-
complishments in the last few years
that scientists now declare that a ma
ton without applied chemistry will be
"defenseless in war and laggards in
peace"
Previously unheard of scientific feats
have been reported from the labora-
tory, but because of necessity, they
were performed so quietly they were
robbed of their glamor and their trap
pings of romance while lesser achieve
ments on the field of battle and in the
council chambers of diplomats have
been hailed by throngs.
Those of.us who have left the class
room and the study hall far behind find

desert aravans-produced from a
substance as ordinary as coal tar.
Truly, chemistry has descended into
the depths of the earth and extracted
the secret formula of nature. The
modern researcher, by constant dill
genee and untiring effort, has per-
formed the mysteries which kept the
alchemist of other centuries cropping
in the dark and branded him as one
allied with the devil himself. The re-
searcher, in finding in coal tar, not only
things of beauty, but remedies for
most human ills, has outdreamed the
alchemist by transforming a base sub
stance into something far more pre-
cious than gold.
From this black, sticky mass he
adorns Mlady with colors rivalling
nature itself in their barbaric splendor.
He distils perfumes that equal the jas
mine and he makes terrifying gases
that one day will make war unthink-
able. Thousands of articles upon
which we depend, from INT to paw
ing blocks, from altar of roses to fer.
tilizer, and from illumination gas to
royal purple, are derived from the
SAME substance.
AS recently as 100 man who dared
to say that he could produce a ruby
from a lump of coal would have been
accused of practicing the black art and
doubtless would have ended his career
at the stake. In three centuries we
have gone far. To-day we accept
these miracles but few of us know
how the miracles are wrought. And
yet there is no mystery.
The succeeding sketches will show
how the accidental discovery of an
English boy at work in laboratory in
1850 started the development of Gre
alive chemistry, and will tell how it
is possible to produce a silk purse,
bottle of perfume, the colors of the
rainbow, variety of medicines, food
stuffs and poisons, all from the same
material.

MISUNDERSTANDING American corn

A first aid to empty stomachs he

Johnny Cake appears in role
strange even to those who have
known him long and loved him
well south of the Mason and Dixon
line. For Johnny's now a relief
worker.
This startling news recently
reached Near East Relief head
quarters in New York from its
agents in Transcaucasia. 1t was
disguised in the terse announcement
that the first shipment of American
corn ever sent to the Near East has
arrived in Armenia, where it was
received with joy by a starving
populace.
Most of the shipment was made
in the form of corn meal, to save
space and freight charges. Among
the relief personnel in the City of
Alexandropol where twenty thous-
and children are housed in Ameri-
can orphanages and where thous-
ands more are reported starving on
the streets, was a daughter of the
"Old Dominion" 1t was she, with
memories of a chubby childhood,
who introduced Johnny to her
young charges.
As result of that one shipment
of corn meal the relief director for
the entire Transcaucasian district,
informed relief officials at New
York Headquarters that several
hundred ragged, hunger-shrunken
tots, none over FIVE, were admitted
to orphanages In Alexandropol and
