The Moore County News, this week, in connection with the enterprise of an Italian named Montesanti, who came to that section direct from Naples, and who bought a "peach orchard.' of one acre. For an Italian schooled in the use of a bit of land fnr a w ; production, an acre of ground is big f.erniory. Montesanti called this uicuaru jziue uaiy," and while the Pinehurst people were disposed to laugh at his conceit, he laughed at his prospect.

Experiments With Selenium Have Proved Truth of Assertion Made , by Scientists Years Ago. We have all heard of the proverbial pin to be heard dropping, and the silence which could be felt, but Dr. Graham Bell "made a statement on May 17, 1878, that he could "hear a shadow" (by interrupting the action of light upon selenium), says the Sci entific American. Prof. Willoughby Smith carried out this idea and soon heard the sound produced by the action of a ray of light upon a bar of selenium in connec tion with a telephone. The experiment excited great inter est at the time because the telephone and phonograph were in their infancy. How was it done? A series of flashes of light were let fall on selenium, caus ing intervals of light and darkness. The strength of the current continu ally varied, and if the flashes succeed ed each other quickly enough, and with sufficient regularity, a musical note was heard by a person listening at the telephone. Moreover, by plac ing a small mirror where light may be reflected upon a distant selenium cell, aided by lenses suitably arranged, Prof. Graham Bell was able to obtain articulate sounds at about 700 feet. Selenium was not much known in 1873, when it was discussed at the Royal society, in London. It is a rare ele ment," somewhat resembling sulphur. In its vitrous state it is a poor con ductor electricity, but in its crys .iaUine state it is a very good one, and when exposed to light the electric re sistance is a great deal diminished.

WORTHY OF HIGHEST HONOR mmmmmmammmmmmmmmmm Trailmaker, Whether in Physical or Intellectual Lines, Has Immense Responsibilities. To be a worthy trailmaker one must see in imagination the thousands who will follow the path he has the temer ity to mark out. Sympathy for them will affect every rod of his work. He must be quick to note the points where there may be confusion on the part of the climber. No one can miss a path cut through heavy underbrush. But out in the open forest or on long stretches of treeless ledges he must take particular pains. Trees must be blazed, footpaths made certain. Cairns of stones must be placed like well marked signposts. A trailmaker must have it on his conscience that even a single traveler might fail because of his failure to make the path certain. If this Js true of one who essays to make a mountain trail, how much greater the responsibility on him who undertakes to blaze the way into those higher ranges of human activity. Honor to those who made their way across the uncharted seas or trackless wastes, but still more honor to those who have dared to lead out into the unknown regions of mind and heart along every line of Intellectual and spiritual achievement.

Frenchmen, Italians and Germans all claim the honor of having invented the art of engraving. Certain it is that Bowdier of Paris was the first to turn out creditable engravings on glass in 1779. But as early as 1460 the Italian Masso Finiguerra exhibited engravings on copper. Duerer, in Germany (1317 1428). and Lucas Van Leyden, in Hol land (1497), made tremendous strides in wood engraving, but If remained for America to invent steel engraving. About 1814 Messrs. Perkins and Heath of Philadelphia introduced the I process of engraving on soft steel, hardened afterward. The Mezzotint process is a German invention. Col. von Siegen, in 1643, produced the first really artistic work of this description in a portrait of Princess Amelia of Hessen. I (5.

Their appearance when they come to the market is so unlike that of the living sponge that it is quite to be expected that seeing it only in use one would hardly suspect its origin. The sponge grows mostly at the bottom of the sea on rocks to which it is fixed by a kind of root It is made up of a jellylike substance and a framework of tough fibers. This framework is really the skeleton oi the sponge; It is the sponge of com merce. The skeleton Is covered wltli a jelly-like substance and is sticky when taken out of the water.They are usually buried in the dry sand for a time until the jelly part decays. They are then put in wire cages into the sea until they are washed clean. San Francisco Chronicle.

Ford, Pres. of the Ford Motor Co., gives out the fol lowing statement: ; "Another reduction has been made in the list price of all types of Ford cars and the Ford truck to take effect immediately. The list prices, f. o. b. Detroit, are now as follows? TOURING CAR f. $415.00 RUNABOUT.... .......$370.00 COUPE.. $695.00 SEDAN $760.00 CHASSIS. $345.00 , TRUCK-CHASSIS $495.00 TRACTOR... $625.00 "The big reductions last fall were made in anticipation of low ma terial costs which we arei now getting the benefit of, and this fact together with increased manufacturing efficiency and the un precedented demand for Ford cars; particularly during the past three months permitting maximum production, have made anoth er price reduction possible immediately. "Ford business for April and May 1921 was greater by 56,633 cars and trucks than for the same two months in 1920; in fact, the de mand has been even greater than the supply, so that our output has been limited, not by unfilled orders, but by manufacturing fa cilities. v ... "During May we produced 101,424 Ford cars and trucks for sale in the United States alone the biggest month in the history of our company and our factories andassembly plants are now work ing on a 4,000 car daily schedule for June. The Fordson tractor is still being sold at less than the cost to produce on account of the recent big price reductions, and it is impossible, therefore, to make any further cut in the price of the tractor." Can you afford to go without a car any longer when Fords are selling at these new low prices? There is no reason now why you should delay purchasing a Ford car, Ford truck, or Fordson trac tor.
