P W M ft — » eeeeeeee s te tassesees A Noble Task. to too many instances the country papers mimic the city press by giv ing prominence to scandals, accidents political agitation. The new ru ral civilisation has placed upon the rural press renewed responsibilities, enlarged possibilities for useful- n. It cannot perform Its mission to agriculture by recording the frail ties, the mishaps and inordinate am bitions o f humanity, or by filling its oolumaz with the echoes o f the strug gles o f busy streets, or by enchanting stories o f city life which lure ohfldreu from (he term.

The rural press is the governing power o f public senti ment and must hold steadfast to principle and keep the ahtp o f state in the roadstead o f progress. The rural press can beat serve the Inter ests o f the farmers by applying lta to the eolation o f problems affecting the local community. It mast stem the mighty life current that fa moving from the farm to the cities, sweeping before It a thousand hoys and girls per day. It has to dsal with the fundamental problems o f civilization at their fountain head. Its mission Is to direct growth, teach ef ficiency and mold the intellectual life o f the country, placing before the pub lic the dally problem s o f the termers sad giving first attention to the leg islative, co-operative, educational and social needs o f the agricultural classes within Its respective community. The Powe r o f Advertising. The Influence o f advertising Is d ea r ly visible in the homes and habits o f the farmers, and the advertising col o n s of the press are making their Imprint upon the lives o f our people.

One o f the most apt illustrat aver made by Lord K elvin likening the lum iniferous eth< a mam o f shoemakers’ wax. Lord K elvin said o f shi wax may be tested by any boy ia manner that will astonish his mates. First let it be said that ether penetrate« all space. I t ia rigid as steel and yet so that it does not retard the o f planets through space in least. It is an invisible sul which travels in waves through things. Now, to illustrate the ture o f such a paradoxical ma Lord K elvin searched everywhere and at laat concluded that makers’ wax represented it best, made tests, and this is what found: H e melted some wax in a mon glass tum bler. A fter it hardened he tried to thrust a 1< pencil through i t It would not Then he placed a coin on the face o f the wax and left it th< for several days. When he visited it the coin had sunk to bottom o f the glass. T he wax had closed over it, and by liftin g up the glass and looking through the bottom he could see the coin ly . ing there. % Had the wax been aa deep as a well the coin would have gone on sinking until it reached the bottom . This proved that the wax would conform only to very slow movements. I f he had tried to push it too fast it would have fb - sisted him. An ¿dea struck the scien tist the ifrsx acted tike this toward' the coin how would it treat an object which floated ? H e accordingly placed a cork in a tum bler and poured hot shoemakers’ wax upon it The wax hardened with the cork at the bottom . Y et when Lord K elvin looked at the bottom o f the glass in a day or tw o he found the cork had disappeared. It was somewhere in the mass o f wax and probably rising very slow ly, but surely, toward the top. Sure enough, after a given period o f tim e the cork peeped above the surface o f the hard wax. and finally it rose to a point where it remained h « lf embedded in the wax just as it would have done in a glass o f wa ter. It rose no higher than this, however, and a corkscrew probably would not have pulled it from the wax. Y et its own buoyancy had raised it up from the bottom through what seemed an impenetra ble mass o f wax. / This, in fact, ia the peculiarity o f shoemakers’ wax— that it resists all sudden or quick movements, hut is highly susceptible to very alow and prolonged pressure.— Exchange.
