In addition to the many valuable ta bles giving statistics for 1909 re garding the State's manufactories, agricultural interests etc., the ap pendix contains the labor laws of North Carolina. We agree with Brother Harris, of The Charlotte Chronicle that the omission in this volume of opinions from individuals over the State on various subjects is an improvement. Besides taking up much room and entailing considera ble cost to the State for printing they were, in the last analysis, only "opinions" and one might safely say there are about as many different "opinions" on a given subject as there are men In North Carolina, hence the small value of that sec tion of the report as heretofore giv en is apparent. THE SU.VAND0. Under the heading "Some Lighter Aspects of Ballinger" The Charlotte News of yesterday carries an inter esting etory which will appear in Colliers weekly of March 5th, ex tracts from it having been furnished the nress for use in advance. It was Collier s Weekly of .March 5tn, ex- deemed of especial Interest in view of the fact that the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy now on is largely a mat ter of personal veracity. In short It's just a question of which is tell ing the truth. The story referred to tell's of Ballinger's connection with an alleged fake company, the South ern Horse Nail Co., which he and his father promoted at New Decatur, Ala., many years ago. Allowing for the fact that Collier's has somewhat of a reputation as a "muckraker," it would seem that there must be something in the charges it makes against the truthfulness of the Sec retary of the Interior. If such is not the case, Collier's is indeed a "yel low of yellows." Rev. Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, one of the best-known Baptist divines in the South, died at his home in Rich mond, Va., last Thursday, aged 70 or more. He had held a number of large pastorates and was well known all over the South. The Gazette is indebted to Com missioner of Labor and Printing M. L. Shipman for a copy of the twenty-third annual report of his depart- Dictionary Lore. "Poison" and "poiinn" are doublets, the former Lielug an older form of the latter. JJoth are derived from the Latin "potnre," to drink, and "poison" iu its original sense signaled merely something to drink. While the word "human" used as meaning "a human being" is now ouly colloquial or humorous, Lowell in the Introduction to the "Biglow Pa pers" chlded Burtlett for including It !n his "Dictionary of Americanisms" and remarked that It was Chapman's habitual phrase In his translation of Homer nnd that It is found also in the old piny of "The Hog Ilnth Lost Ills Pearl." Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Quer Whittling Language of tha Ca nary Island Nativas. In (Jomera, one of the smallest of the Canary Islands, the silvaudo, or whistling language, survives. A cor resiMimlent writes: "A traveler must laud at the little xrt of Sau Sebastian and there tind a muleteer from the In terior. With him he must ride up the steep bridle paths that wind through the mountains. When no lunger any living thing is within sight and the wilderness Is only broken by the criin Ron flower of the cactus growing in the clefts of the rock, the muleteer dismounts, sets his forefingers togeth er nt a right angle and places them iu his mouth. An arrow of piercing sounds shoots across the ravines and up the stony terraces into the fast nesses of the mountains. A moment's pause and there comes a thin, almost uncanny, answering whistle from far away. Conversation begins and, as the sounds rise nnd fall, are stacca toed or drawn out, so they are faith fully echoed and transmitted by the hills. "Then comes the ghostly reply, and then question and answer follow with out hesitation or misunderstanding. Perhaps the stranger will ask, 'What are you doing there?' Answer: 'There is a traveler with me. One of our mules is lame. Can you bring us a fresh one?" 'Yes, I can. Do you want anything else?' 'You might bring some milk along if you have any,' and so on. That the conversation is correctly interpreted is presently con firmed by the arrival of the mule and the milk, and the distance that sepa rated the parties to the dialogue turns out to be about three miles. "Long notes and short notes, rising and falling tones, go to make this mar velous means of communication. No I record is to be found of its origin or history, and It will be a thousand pities if scientific investigation Is not made before the silvando is added to the list of dead languages, as assur edly it will be within the next two or three generations." Chicago News. HIS THOROUGHBRED. , A Deal the Heraeman Put Threuah ea the Dead Quitt, ' -A man known roundabout u I lover ami oaMiiior of floe bone was lately drivlug one of . hla ' favorite steeds along a suburban road when be came upon another home lorer, al most as well known, who was driving in tbe opposite direction.. Seemingly pleased tp meet eacb other, both drew up alongside. "I beard only yesterday that you'd gone away and brought back a new thoroughbred." greeted tbe second horseman. "Yep." gleefully returned the first horseman; "I'm Just after leaving her back home while 1 give this horse a little spin for bis llrer." "Think she'll sultr asked tbe sec ond man, squlutlug good bauioredly. "Well, you kuow my style, old man. She can step along In the best class, and she's got a pedigree eclipsing any around here." "How long have you bad her?" "Just four days." answered the first horseman Iu the same gleeful tone, "but I've bad my eyes on her for some time back." "Carried this deal through a little on the quiet, didn't you?" "Yep." laughed tbe first man, with bead shake of satisfaction. "Is she a record breaker?" "Sure thing; wouldn't have any other. Walt till you fellows get a glimpse of her. and If you don't agree that I've still got my eyes for winners I'll eat the tail off thnt horse there." Suddenly the second horsemau lean ed over toward his friend nnd thrust out his hand in palpable earnestness. "Accept my congratulations," said he. "nnd also give 'em to your your thoroughbred!" "I will!" heartily returned the other i man, gripping the proffered fist "Be , sure to come in and see us." he added as his friend prepared to drive on. 'I know she'll be tickled to meet a friend of mine; she isn't too high hitched for that, old man. That's her wiunlug quality. She's a wife fit for a borse Judge!"

The first public exhibition of a "hap py family" in England was given about fifty years ago, when there were shown a monkey, a cat, several rats and three or four pigeons In One cage. The monkey was on excellent terms with the cat so long as puss would allow him to warm himself by cud dling her; otherwise he would show his vexation by slyly giving her tall a nip with his teeth. The birds perched on the cat's back and pecked at her fur, and the rata were as friendly with their natural enemy as if she were one of their own sort. A lady walking in the Isle of Wight observed a little kitten curled up on a mossy bank taking a midday nap. As she stopped to stroke It a hawk swooped down and, pouncing upon the kitten, hid It from sight The lady, fearing for the life of the kitten, tried to rescue it, but the hawk firmly faced her, stood at bay and re fused to move. She hastened to a fisherman's cottage and told the In mates of the impending tragedy. "It's always so," they said, laughing. "That hawk always comes down If any one goes near the kitten. He bas taken to it and stays near at band to watch whenever it goes to sleep." The lady, greatly interested, made further inquiry and learned that the kitten's mother bad died, after wblcb the nursling was missed for several days. One day the hawk was seen about the cottage picking up scraps of meat and carrying them to tbe roof of tbe cottage. Tbe fisherman climbed up and found the lost kitten nestled in a bole In tbe thatch and thriving under tbe care of its strange foster father. It was brought down and restored to tbe cot tage, bnt the hawk would not resign bis charge and was always at band to rescue tbe kitten from the caresses of strangers. Philadelphia North American. How One Might Travel 190 Milea In About Ten Minutes. It is estimated that if all mechanical difficulties could be removed and suffi cient power developed the minimum time in which passengers could be transported over the eighty-five miles from Xew York to Philadelphia would be six minutes and forty-four seconds and for the 190 miles from Boston to New York ten minutes . and four sec onds. A correspondent of the Scien tific American who has been working on the problem says .that the trains would have to be run In a vncuum to prevent their being heated to Incan descence by the resistance of the air. They would have to be held in sus pension In the vacuum tube through which they traveled, for the slightest contact with the sides of the tube would result in enormous friction. The cars might be held in suspension by the propulsion of opposing magnets on the cars and on the tubes respec tively. When thus isolated they could be propelled only by the power of magnetism. The energy consumed In propelling the cars would be compara tively low. To avoid shock or jar the trains would travel faster and faster until one-half of the distance should be cov ered and then slow down until the destination should be reached. When the rate of acceleration Is Just such as can be borne with comfort the limit is attained. The effect on the passen gers wonld be a continuous pressure against the back of the seat, as when a car is started suddenly, for the first half of the Journey, and then in order to prevent them from pitching out of their seats tbe chairs would be turned In the opposite direction for the rest of the Journey, during which the same sensation would be felt. At the speed named the passengers would be ' traveling for each half of the distance one-third as fast as they could fall through the same space un der the attraction of gravity.
