Sources of Arsenic.

The most important sources of the
worlds supply of arsenic are the sill
yer mines of Saxony, the tin and pyrite
mines of England and the mispicket
(arsenical pyrites) mines of Spain and
the province of Ontario, Canada. The
Canadian mispickel contains gold
Germany, in normal times, produces
the greatest quantity of metallic and
white arsenic, England, which led the
worlds production in 1912, having
fallen behind. 1t is estimated that the
United States consumes about half OF
the entire production Of metallic, white,
red and yellow arsenic. The yellow
arsenic is known as orpiment. In the
arts arsenic is used in pyrotechny and
In the manufacture of shot. as well as
for medicine and the making of fly
powders.

Poultry Breeders Are
Interested in HIGHWAYS

A farmer who lived six miles from
town, over a mud road, was asked why
he didn't keep more chickens, when
the town in question offered a good
market for eggs. He replied that he
lived too far out, and had no automo-
bile.
six miles isn't much more than 4
half-hour's ride with your team" the
inquirer said.
'Half an hour in summer, and three
hours in winter" replied the farmer.
1t may not seem as II the good roads
movement affects the poultry business,
but it has big influence on the num-
Der of chickens kept. The poultry
breeder who supplies eggs in quantity
for private trade must make prompt
deliveries. If hotel orders a case Of
eggs at certain intervals, that case of
eggs must get there or the farmer
loses the trade. The criticism that
farmers can't be depended on and the
packing houses can, has been one that
can't be refuted for farmers as class.
There are exceptions, but the farmers
themselves admit that there are times
when they are at the mercy Of the
roads. Winter eggs might be had, but
why try for them in large numbers
when there is chance that they could
not get them to town If they were laid7
There is the question of cold in win
ter. Chilled eggs are unfit for hatch
ing; the farmer who has to sell eggs
for Matching only during the season
when he is not three hours on the
road" would find his trade limited
Aside from the cold, there is also for
Matching eggs the question Of jolting
the germ to an extent that weakens II
not kills it.
When the farmer lived upon the
products of his own farm, the roads
did not seriously affect him. Today
they do. Poultry breeders are among
our most up-to-date business men, OF
course they are interested in the good
roads movement

Western Engineers on
Economical Highways

How to make the road home shorter
by making it better was discussed
by engineers from Kansas and adjoin-
ing states in the second annual road
school held at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college recently.
The work being done in Iowa to de-
termine fuel consumption on roads Of
different kinds and different grades,
showing how much saving in the cost
of gasoline can be effected by change
from steep to level grade, was ex-
planned. Approximately one-half the
gasoline is used in the resistance with
in the car and one-half In tractive ef-
fort. On one road in Iowa the cost of
a change from earth to a hard surface
will be paid in eight years, with the
saving of gasoline alone. On a certain
other road, the speaker explained, the
saving would not cover the cost within
any reasonable length of time.
Sixty-three types of road in Illinois
was the subject of a discussion by
an engineer from that state. Tests re-
melt. The cost of the experiments
amounted to S1S9,0O0 The saving in
construction of the new over the old
iesign for the year 1922 was s1,000,0o0.
Engineers are advocating no particu-
lar type of road except as local condi-
lions and prospective traffic warrant,

south side will receive its share of
them. While the altitude has a great
deal to do with the wind, he pointed
out that it is net very likely that a
matter of a few hundred feet would
affect the falling of hail, which starts
several miles up n the air.
Jarboe Explains About Hail.
j. II. Jarboe, weather observer, de-
clined TO make any statement as to
possible reasons for the hail falling
most heavily in the northern part of
the city. He did state. however, that
the hail must necessarily rail- from a
high altitude and flat it seemed almost
impossible that matter of 200 feet,
the difference in the altitude of the
extreme northern and the extreme
southern edges of town, could affect
the direction of the storm.
You see," he said, hail is caused
by the hot atmosphere rising suddenly
and coming in contact with the rain.
The hot air causes the rain to rise
TO the freezing altitude. From here
it fails down but is caught up again
and taken up once more. This process

the drops get larger until finally they
become too heavy for the air to sup
port and they fall. Thus we have the
hail Stom.
THE freezing temperature is only
obtainable in the summer at high i
titudes and these drops Lave already
started their descent before they en-
counter the resistance OF the hilfs of
the earth. Now if these mountains
were several miles high, / would be
more inclined TO think that he topo-
graphical surface has something TO do
with it,"
In his conversation, Mr.. Jarboe X
planned the appearance of the ridges
or circles that can be seen if a hail
stone is cut open. The process of
these drops of water being taken up
in the revolving air currents is re-
peated several times, sometimes as
many as fifteen or twenty. and each
time another layer of ice is added to
the drop.

Presbyterians Plan School.

Ouero, Tex, April 7.-The West

day session here Wednesday, April 4,
went on record as endorsing a plan
presented on Tuesday by Mrs. J. L.
Brock Of Bryan, president Of the
Synodical of Texas. and seconded by
Mrs. o. VI. Farnsworth, Presbyterian
leader Of San Antonio. for the estab-
lishment of a 100000 school for

Funds for the project will be raised
as follows $4,000 from Southern
states adjoining Texas; 100000 from
Presbyterian women of the State of
Texas as whole. and $4,000 by
the women of the West Texas Pres
byterial. A number of towns of the
Rio Grande Valley, as well as Corpus
Christi. Kingsville, Taft, Gregory,
Beeville and others will be given con-
sideration in determining the location
Of the school. Some revision was

conference was closed with an address
by Rev. William f. Junkin. former
Presbyterian leader Of the state, but

Business Has Suffered
Three Times From Hail,
Hears of Possible Refuge.

Three times in the last fifteen years
+. C. Suchy, San Antonio florist
has suffered almost complete loss Of
his greenhouse when hail storms have
visited the city and broken all of the
glass in the greenhouse roof as. well
as destroyed all of the growing plants.
Each time the greenhouse happened to
be located in a part of the city where
the hail fell Heaviest, circumstance
that led Mr.. Suchy to do some in
vestigating.
One of the locations was on River
avenue. another was near the Blanco
road and the third one also was in
the section designated as the north end
of town.
why don't you move to the south
side of the city," asked a friend one
day. ut hardly ever halls there and
when it does the hailstones are not
large enough to do any damage
Mr.. Suchy investigated the state
ment and found enough substantial
tion for it TO decide him to build
his present greenhouse on Division
avenue. near the southern limits of
the city. The Oldest inhabitants in
that section claim that hail has never
done any damage even TO their truck
gardens which are entirely unprotected
and Mr.. Sucty hopes that they are
right and that the immunity from
damage will continue.
No Official Records.
Just why it is-if it is-that hail
should fall more heavily and more
frequently in the northern end of the
city is moot question and there are
no official records to prove it is true
or untrue. Opinions of old-timerS.
however, as given 10 Mr.. Suchy are
that all of the hail storms for many
years past have done a great deal
more damage in that part of the city
north of Houston street than was done
in the southern section.
Acceptance of the facts as stated
leads to the drawing of conclusions
as TO causes and one of these is that
the topography of San Antonio is such
as TO have an effect on the direction
and severity of the hailstorms in diff
ferent parts Of the city. As is well

of bowl formed By hills on all sides
except south where the ground is level
and one theory is that the hills re-
ceive the brunt of hailstorms which
gradually spend themselves before
reaching the southern part of the city.
This argumeh-, however, encountered
quite bit of opposition from a pioneer
settler, who stated that it is possibly
all matter Of chance. He main
tanned that hail storms visit San An
tonic nearly every summer and that
their falling solely on the northern
side of the city has been simply a
coincidence.
He further stated that II is quite
probeble that 4 San Antonio is visited

mine days.
At the conclusion Of each nights
performance, Miss Berliner's car was
followed to the hotel by great throngs
