Plants cinnot live without leaves. It i
through them that they breathe and if
they are taken off the plants will be more
or lets injured, while it they are kept off,
the plants will die for want of breath.
Hence clean work in cutting off the topof
weeds just above the ground will kill them
out.
The Iowa crop report for the past week
shows that the cold weather has greatly
retarded the growth of corn all over the
Male. Smull grain has not been Injured.
Fruits have not been so much injured. It
h the same generally in Illineis.
The council between representatives of
the Sioux Indians and the government
commissioners,relative to the proposed sale
of a portion f the Sioux reservation for
settlement, is now in session, but it appears
that the Indians are considerably offish and
nt very ready to come to terms.
The stockmen's association of south
western Texas has rcsolied that the tariff
ought to be removed frem leather goods
or put back on hides. This moves the St
Louis Republic to say : "Fair and softly,
gentlemen. Stick to the original proposi
tion. It isall right. The alternative isall
wrong. Free hides have been a great
thing for the country. We are now export
ing $10,000,000 a year in leather goods on
account of free hides. The country needs
this money. The manufacturers need raw
material. Free raw material should come
first. When the manufacturer gets that
the rest will come with a little patient
work and wailing."
In the state of Illinois it is said that near
ly S,ooo,ooo acres of farming lands are en
cumbered, the mortgages aggregating the
enormous sum of $U4,ooo,oo. Michigan,
a state not near so wealthy as Illinois, has
mortgages or. her farm lands aggregating
over $t3o.ooo,cco,and we are told that.tak
ing the state as a whole,one-half of all the
firms are mortgaged, and in the new por
tions fully three-fourths. Such figures are
terribly significant. What a sickening
s:ory they teli of ill-paid labor.of pinching
economy, of actual want ! And yet there
are sections of the country worse off by far
than Illinois and Michigan not one, but
many and some of them where not only
does the mortgage rest upon the farm, but
the crop is usually pledged long in advance
of the harvest.
Officials in criminal courts who take the
trouble to make a study of jurors can usually
tell just what sort ofaverdict a jury will give as
soon as its members return after deliberati-g
upon a case. There is always something in
their faces which indicates to the experienced
eye whether the verdict is guilty or not guilty.
"This man is going to be acquitted, sure," said
and old court officer in general sessions as a
jury came in with a verdict in an important
case a few days ago. "You see, about every
:nan in the box turned his face to the defendant
as soon as he took his seat. That's a sure sign.
I never knew it to fail. When the verdict is
or conviction the jurors invariably keep their
eyes on the judge or on the ceihng. Members
of a convicting jury often seem to find it very
difficult to look upon the prisoner, even when
the clerk instructs them to do so. I suppose
(he explanation of it is that with most people
it is a hard matter to inflict rain even on a
guilty man.
THE SVYS.lt UF A Bfl.I.KT.
How fast does a bullet travel .' If it is in
proper shape for travelling, Col Flagicr
and his ofliecrs say it ought to go at the
rate of 1,275 feet a second upon leaving the
rifle. This matter of speed is very Impor
tant, and if a cartridge is five or ten feet
.00 fast or too slow, the quantity of pow
Jer must be changed. This mutter of
peed is tested in a very interesting way
At the northern end of the arsenal grounds
is a long wooden shed, in which a distance
of 100 feet has been carefully marked off.
At either end of this space is .1 s'and
something like a target, with a large cli
ciilnr opening where the bull's ee would
be. Across each opening is stretched a
small electric, wire connected with a dell
cite Instrument in another room. The
rifle from which the firing is done is so
aimed that the bullet which files from It
cuts both wires. Obviously the difference
in time between the cutting of the first and
of the second wire will mark the speed of
the bullet through 100 feet The measure
ment of this brief space of lime is done by
an instrument of French invention called
Koulinge chronograph. When the first
wire is cat an electric circuit is broken and
a rod which is suspended from a magnet
fill's a short dUlancc, touching in its descent
n point which makes a mark on its side.
The breaking of the second wire lets drop
a second smaller rod in the same way. By
means of the difference in the marks on
the rods it is possible tc estimate the differ
ence in the lime of their falling, and from
this the speed of the bu'.lct per second.
There is a provision for detecting any er
ror,and nearly absolute accuracy Is secur
ed. A boa ol Aycr's i'ills has saved msuy a
fit of lieknen. When a remedy dues not
happen to be within reach, people are liable
to slight ailments and. of c nrse, if serious
illncsa f.illowa they have to sulfur the con-
ijuencea. "A ol ioli in time saves nine."
The great and only Wiggins announces,
what he considers the most important as
tronomical discovery of the century, that
the earth Is receding from the sun. This
recession, he declares, is proved by what is
known as the precession of the equinoxe)
which causes the tropical year to be short
er than the sidereal, the latter being the
real measures of the earth's increasing or
bit. His second proof he sees in the
moon's secular acceleration. for it is agreed
on by all astronomers, so he asserts, that
the moon travels faster now in her orbit
than two centuries before the Christian
era. As the ea.-th, therefore, is receding
from the sun it is getting less and less sub
ject to solar attraction, and must, there
fore, be constantly expanding, so that our
oceans are gradually becoming more shal
low, because they are covering a constant
ly increasing surface, and the time will
come when It will be necessary to carve
up the continents by canals as we see on
Mars,and the same is no doubt true of the
planets Saturn and Jupiter. Trees will be
planted along these canals to produce aeri
al moisture.as appears to be the case along
the canals of Mars, which accounts fortheir
apparent great breadlh when viewed
through a telescope.
