Of Illuminating gas and electricity. All

Beet Outlook Good.
A survey of the beet acreage in the
county by field men Of the Holly
Sugar corporation brings out the fact
that the general outlook is very fiat
tering. There are very few web worms
and grasshoppers. The growers are
thinning now and the stands in gen.
eral look good. It was necessary to
replant in very few instances. The

growers warning them to keep close
watch on their fields for web worms

that spray material and machinery
were ready to go to their assistance

RESORTS SPOIL sRiDe


"When ! go on my honeymoon, ;"
remarked the cynical Mr.. Schopen-
hauer, who in the next breath is
just as likely as not to tell you that
he'll never get married, 'T'm going
to take my blushing bride to a
third-rats hostelry at place that
has no scenic attractions, where the
climate is intolerable and the serv-
ice and food poor. So many bride
grooms make the mistake OF taking
their fair ones to favored resorts
and putting up at the best hotels.
The result is that the brides have
something they can throw in Friend
Husbands face when they get down
to earth and six-room cottage for
life. I'll select place 80 undesir-
able that the things I'll be able to
provide for Mrs. 8. subsequently,
will be magnificent by comparison"

LIGHTS FLoATED ON MERCURY
Authorities Are Replacing the Roller
System In the Lighthouses In
Scotland.

There is said to be an increasing
demand for quicksilver in the manu-
facture OF electrical appliances. An
interesting and increasing use in
Scotland is the floating of the lights
of lighthouses upon body Of quick
silver. The metal is not consumed,
Of course, and the loss in use is in
significant.
1t appears that the commissioners
of northern lighthouses in Edin-
burgh have in their charge ninety
lighthouses on the coast Of Scotland.
Up to few years ago the revolving
lights were borne on rollers. The
"float" system has been gradually
introduced, however, and is now in
operation at thirty coast stations and
will be used at all others. The
lighting machinery rests ON pom
toon which runs ON quicksilver III a
groove. The quantity Of mercury re-
quired for this purpose in a Light
house il from seven to eight TASKS
Of ssyenty-fve pounds each.-Ar-

ONLY PRAISE FOR CURIOSITY
Venerable French Astronomer Declares
II 10 the Source OF All Scientific
Discovery.

Is CURIOSITY ldult!
NO." replies NJ. Camille Flam-
marion, venerable French astrono-
mer. sTt is the source Of all scien-
tifc discovery and deserves only
praise.
Curiosity is desire for knowl-
edge, for experience; and it legiti-
mately prevails, therefore, with
children, who start without any
knowledge at all, and women, from
whom knowledge Of many topics is
perversely withheld"
Even scientific men seem to limit
their curiosities a little capriciously.
Eminent men Of learning" said
Mr.. Flammarion, "did not feel that
penetrating emotion, and even
looked askance at it." Thus LIE

was once asked if he would like

kslndus In the PunJab Thus Get
Around Their Religious Laws
on Marriage.

Probably the most curious form
LOT marriage in existence is that
which prevails in India, where men
and women are married to trees. A
Hindu in the Punjab cannot be le-
gally married third time, and
when, therefore, he wants third
wife, he is married to a certain tree,
80 that when he does actually take
another wife, she counts as his
fourth.
In another district Of India there
are communities among whom tree
marriage is solemnized in the case
of q man who has lost two wives
and is DESTROYS Of taking a third,
or man who is too poor to marry
in the usual way.
In the latter case, the man is af-
terward married to q widow. As,
however, the remarriags Of widow
is held by orthodox Hindus to be
fraught with every calamity, the
poor bridegroom's wedding has to
be performed at dead Of night I'M
der an old mango tree. 1t is not
easy to understand the reason of
such. an extraordinary custom as
tree marriages, but one authority
points out that it seems to be in
tended to avert the curse of widow
hood, the Husband" being always
alive. Philadelphia Inquirer.
