Since the Biwr war South Africa has pursued the even tenor of her way, with very little of importance suiii clent to warrant a chronicling In the outside world taking place. Now there comes an astonishing bit of news from there to the effect that a consolidation of the four large colo nies Is being talked of. Cape Colony, Natal, the Transvaal, and the Orange River Colony would together make a state of nearly half a million square miles, or five times the area of Ureal Britain and Ireland. There are many obstacles In the way, however, and some of them at the present time seem almost insur mountable. To begin with there is the question of debt. Two of these colonies have alarming deficits, the Cape and Natal. Ever since the war the revenues have been fulling off. and each year there has been a large deficit at the end of the year. In Transvaal and the Orange River Col- ony on the other hand, there have been surpluses ever since civil admin istration has been established. It is thought there might be considerable difficulty in Dersuadinir the two imm. ! perous colonies to assume the burdens of the two smaller. The question of trade is an Import ant one also. The largest factor in this question Is that of railroad rates. The railroads are all owned by the Government, and each state has been in the habit of fixing its own rates. The chief revenue of Natal Is deriv ed from the through traffic of -her railroads and this also is a very large source of revenue to Cape Colony. Obviously the Interior colonies will demand cheaper rates. The tariff, too, will be another subject of dis cussion. By far the most Important factor In the proposed union is the race ques tion. In all of the colonies the num ber of natives far exceed that of the whites, who are divided into the British and the Dutch. Just whet franchise privileges shall be given, or what representation shall be appor tioned the 6.PO0.000 inhabitants prom ises to provoke almost endless discus sion. A convention will be held at Durban, October 12, for preliminary discussion. . - . Andrew Carnegie, millionaire phil anthropist, has indirectly announced that he Intends his real monument to be in the form of the Carnegie Tech nical School of Pittsburg, and not in the now world-famed libraries. He has through prominent people of the Smoky City made known the authori zation of the expenditure of $10,000, 000 more on this celebrated education al institution. With the plans com pleted which are now being consider ed this would become the greatest school In the world. Arrangements are being made now for Its enlarge ment to a colossal scale. Judge Buf fington and William Metcalf, Jr., two well known Pittsburgers, were called . to Scotland within the last few weeks and the plans for the great school per fected at Sklbo Castle. The Carnegie school already boasts of 1200 pupils but the recent reports from Its trustees indicate that the In stitution was altogether inadequate to the demands on it by the rapidly in creasing membership. With this pro posed munificent gift Carnegie will have bequeathed $20,000,000 to this school and while Judge Buffington and Mr. Metcalf would make no public an-' nouncement of Mr. Carnegie's de tailed plans it is known that the worthy owner of Skibo intends to make this school the principal bearer of his name to the generations that come and will keep giving his wealth to the school as long as its needs for j expansion demand It. The whole scientific world Is Just now deeply interested in the recent address made by Professor Sir G. H. Darwin, president of Trinity College, In Dublin. Ireland, at the annual meet ing of the British Association In which he developed the theory of conscious ness In plants. He reopened the cause lost among some scientists of the doc trine of fnheriiance of acquired char acters. That plants have memory and may develop habits and behave dif ferently according to what might be called their moods he most emphatic ally maintained. He contended that plants are equipped with an organism which corresponds to the nervous system in animals and by means of which they are quite as sensitive to certain agencies as animals are. He says they are capable of telegraphing from one part of their anatomy to an other and that there exists In them a faint reproduction of what we call consciousness in ourselves. A Checking Account With a bank is a modern business convenience and those who have never tried it have missed many advantages. "We open checking accounts for firms and individuals and supply them with check books so that they can draw against their deposits in fav or of other persons without coming to the bank. They thus have all the convenience of having the money at hand without the risk of robbery that there would be if the money was kept in the house. -m THE BANK OF OREGON CITY m- Growth Itself, he argued, a sort of habit made possible by memory In their cslls ao that the process of growth oouM be changed In any peri od of its progress by Its surroundings If not by Hit own free will. These changes In growth are remembered by successive Reiterations and thus acquired characters are Inherited. On this theory lie bases all plant culture and blends It with fascinating orlgl- I nftlit y to the whole Darwinian explan jatlon of evolution. i A scathing arraignment of American missionaries In China Is made by a i . c.i.i...,. a .-..-I KV'Sr.' would be much better off If the preachers from I this country stayed at home. He says that his people have already a relig ion that Is much better adapted to their needs than that which the Amer- lean missionaries bring and that the latter will not gain the converts they desire until they learn to live the re ligion they try to teach, lie points out that the Chinaman from his in fancy Is taught to live his religion, and to put In practice the precepts be learns as a part of his education, while the Americans who go as teach ers of the Christian religion he says fall miserably In acting up to the prin ciples they teach. An atlas of the heavens listing some 23.000,000 stars has been completed by J. Franklin Adams, of Uoyds. in I London. This stupendous work is to be sold at cost price, $1:5. It has been a labor of love with the compiler, who Is an astronomer of no mean abil ity. To Index this number of stars he has divided the firmament Into 212 squares, which have been photograph ed on specially prepared plates 15 Inches square. The Southern con stellations were photographed In South Africa and the rest at an ob- I servatory near tiodalmlng. England, where Mr. Adams has a very complete j astronomical equipment.

The trade built on hot air soon col lapses, while that founded on clean fresh eggs and nice healthy fowls. Is there to stay. Seems t(x bad that the poor hen have no dry loafing place on rainy days. While moulting, poultry are very sensitive to atmospheric change. Investigate every noise In the hen house, even at night, for If a weasel s lurking about. It must be routed out and killed, If It takes hours to do so. These are busy times, I know, but It will pay you to throw up a few shovelfuls of earth, now and then, for he chickens to work In. Keeps them busy; they are the ones that do best. Take every precaution against lampness. Many of the reported mysterious diseases owe their origin to damp quarters. Chicken-pox or sore hend, distemper and roup are he result of negligence In this mat ter. If you have more pullets than you wish to keep yourself, and If your stock Is good, Just tack a shingle out on a tree in the front yard and loi Oiks know about It. You can sell some of them to better advantage that way than you can In the regular mar ket. The pullets should be placed In their winter quarters before they start laying. Teach them to lay In nests. by keeping a china nest-egg In each nest. By the way, that Is the only good a nest-egg Is, anyway. The old- Ime theory that It induced hens to lay has long since been exploded. The nest-egg Is the Blgn-board showing where to lay, but It can not make a hen lay. , Value of Good Seed. Last summer the agent of the 3outh Texas Truck Growers' Association vis ited the "Bermuda Islands and the Canary Islands and secured a big cun- Ignment of seed. These seed hae produced this year's onion ;rop In Texas of a greater size and of a fine quality. Whereas It was formerly es timated that the Hermuda .irowera growers shipped $1,000,000 criues of onions to the United States annually, It Is now estimated that their -ihip-menta this year anrimued to about 380,000 crates.

Hefore you are going to milk be sure to hnve your linger nail trimmed ,s close a possible. Do not rush milking ut once, but start gently.
