SCIENTIFIC POINT CLEARED IK
8Iz of Water Particle Hem Known
to Chang With the Ago
of Clouds.
WMOT
It seems .rather lingular to speak
of the "age of clouds" of "old clouds"
and "young clouds," yet It reaUy-appears-
that such a distinction can be
made, and that the discovery, as so
frequently happens in matters scien
tific, was based upon a preceding mis
take. The conclusion was reached years
ago in scientific quaters that the
density of a cloud was proportioned to
the number cf water particles it con
tained, the water particles, in turn,
depending upon the particles of dust
present. Later, however, these same
authorities ascertained that their first
conclusion was wrong, and that in
many clouds the density falls far short
of proportionality with the number of
water particles. Further investiga
tion points to the fact that the site
of the water particles changes with
the "age" of the cloud. The clouds
upon which the first observations were
made must, it is thought, have been
old clouds, and in them the water
particles, being comparatively large,
appeared to be proportional to the
density. But the later observations
were made upon newly-formed or
young clouds, in which the panicles
were small In sire.

Congressman Coined Epigram and
Stated Absolute Fact in On
Brief Word.
Congressman Homer Bulb of Ne
vada was famed in his day at Wash
ington as a raconteur and epigram- j
matist. Whenever he sat down in the
lobby of the Dingle house, his head
quarters at the capital, be was sure
to gather about him in no time a group
of friends end acquaintances and to
convulse them over and over again
with bis sallies.
One of these, the butt of which was j
Senator Montgomery Twell. is par
ticularly well remembered by the
Dingle's Old Guard.
The senator entered the hotel one
evening, looked long and solemnly at
the skies, which were cloudy, and then
remarked (o Congressman Bulb In a
tone of railery.
"Well. Bulb, I know you pride your
self on being a prophet. What sort
of a day do you think we'll have to
morrow?" "Wednesday." replied Congressman
Bulb.
Among those who heard him was
Col. Anthony lUtherswyck, the civil
war veteran, who lost no time In tell

Chocolate at First Disliked.
Chocolate was regarded as an In

class in England during the seven
tenth century. A formidable treatise
was written in order to denounce the i
use of the beverage by monks The
treatise appeared In 1G24. but the
monks saw to It. by destroying every
copy that came their way. that Its
circulation was small and brief. Choc
olate houses succeeded coffee houses
in London as centers of a supposed
greater refinement, although Roger
North describes them as centers for

EiVERCITY IN FARMING.
The ferxer is in a hazardous busi
ness at the best. His success depei.us
jo a very large extent oo the weatae:
Droughts or excessive rains, are disas
trous to him. Early frosts threaten
him, says the Charleston News and
Courier. As in ther hazardous busi
nesses, he must make large profits id
the good years to make up lor tt
loses of the bad years. His prorus
must be recorded in ten-year periods.
He cannot judge from the record of
one year what his profits are. More
over, it is evident that as a succes
sion ot seasons must assist each other
in maintaining a general average oi
success, so the best insurance he can
have In any one season is the planting
of diverse crops, the harvesting 01
which will take place at different sea
sons of the year. He can thus escape
a complete calamity in the event ot a
storm or other natural disturbance
The man, for instance, who has
made money on truck in the spring can
tace the loss ot his cotton crop wun
equanimity. In the average for the
year'he finds things balancing up, anil
althojgh he has lost the profits ot the
one crop in the destruction ot the
other, he has been insured against ab
solute loss on the entire year s opera
tions It is the capacity of the soil In
this section for widely diverse crops
that makes it so valuable. This ts not
a one-crop section. The lands are not
merely good cotton lands They are
good truck lands, good orchard lands,
good pasture lands They can t-e cade
to yield wealth in a variety of w.iys.

What he hat to say about his expert

I suffered with stomach troubles, ana

I lived on dried peaches and buttermilk
for nearly three years. The only thing
that would not give me pain was raw eggs.
I was a physical wreck. 1 could not
