Address CENTER OF THE EARTH. It May Be a Mighty Mees of Molten Preoloue Metals. Did you ever stop to consider the t tact bat in all Iprobability th e center of the earth is a globe composed of gold, iridium and platinum'! ',Chess metals aro, of course, in a liquid state, the iridium at the exact center -that is, provided there is not some heavier metal at present unknown to man oc• cupying that place -the platinum next and the gold surrounding the other two, "But," you say, "what proof hale we that this proposition is correct?" In answer 1 would says "Two proofs, and perhaps more." First, the three metals are the heav- iest eat/lest known substances, compared bulk for bulk. This being the case, they would naturally be attracted to the center of our planet In the beginning the earth was liquid, if not gaseous. In either case the heavy metals men- tioned were held in solution. By grad- ual radual condensation the metals settled to the center, iridium first, platinum neat and gold last Ages ago, when the crust of the earth was thin -very thin -all of the gold now known was thrown out in volcan• is eruptions. This last mentioned fact is the second reason for believing that our globe has a golden center, woven around a nucleus of iridium and plati- num. A third reasou for believing that there is gold at the center is this: The earth as a whole weighs five times as much as a globe of water of the same bulk, while the rocks forming the out- er crust are less than three times as heavy as water. -St, Louis Globe -Dem- ocrat QUEER QUITO. A City With No Chimneys and Where Carriages Are Curiosities. Travelers in South America see many strange plaices, but the queerest of all is probably Quito, the capital of the republic of Ecuador. Tho first thing which strikes a visitor to that city is that there are no chimneys to the houses. Charcoal is all that is burned there, and consequently no smoke arises. An- other peculiarity is that while the streets are well paved you may pass days in the city and never see a wheel- ed vehicle. There are some carriages in Quito, but they are rarely used, and when one of them comes rattling along ev- erybody turns out to look at it as at some curiosity. A third peculiarity is that while the bulk of the population dress in ponchos (a kind of cloak or loose garment) and short linen trousers a considerable number of people -white men -are to be seen walking about and wearing frock coats and tall hats. These men the visitor is generally told, are en- lightened and cultivated mon, natives of Spanish origin, who claim that they form the nation of Ecuadorians. In- dians, of course, do not count. Every white man in Quito who can possibly manage it wears this sort of coat and hat to emphasize his impor- tance and highly civilized condition. This dress justifies him in calling himself doctor and others in so styling him, and he also thinks that it gives him a claim to come into your apart- ments without being invited and try to borrow 5 cents from you. 0 How Malta Became European. Malta underwent a geographical as well as a political change through its acquisition by England in 1814. It had always been regarded as part of Afri- ca, to which It seemed to belong both from topography and language. After Its annexation, however, it was discov- ered that the garrison was entitled to the higher pay granted to troops em- ployed out of Europe and was there- fore more privileged than the soldiers in the Ionian islands. To remedy this parliament passed an act decreeing that so far as pay went Malta should be regarded as part of Europe. It used to be a joke that Malta had he - come European by act of parliament, and the jest soon became a reality,- London eality.London Standard. The Baldheaded Eagle. The staid, dignified and homely bald- headed eagle. the glorious emblem of the American republic, mates but once and lives with his one mate until he or she dies. If left a widower -even a young widower ---the baldheaded ea 0 never mates again. IIe remains al. .0 and disconsolate in the nest on -.se rocky crag or in the branehes of a tail pine that formed his domicile while his mate was alive. No other female eagle can tempt him to foresake his disconsolate life. Wasted. "I always was unlucky," he said, with a weary sigh. "What's the matter now, old man?" his friend asked.

Ola, watermelon time is a -corrin' round again, And !Moro ain't nobody livin' any tick• leder'n met So sang the well loved Hoosier poet, and the sentiment expressed finds a ready echo in the heart of every farm- er who has ever grown a patch of one of the most delicious products that good old Mother Nature ever pro- vided for the delectation of mankind, says a writer in the National Stock- man and Farmer. In addition to furnishing an added joy of living to your family and friends (and all the small boys in the neigh- borhood) a small area devoted to mel- ons will add quite a few dollars to the yearly net income it planted in the proper kind of soil and given the req- uisite care.

The ground should be finely pulver- ized and made smooth by dragging. Do not be afraid of using the drag too much. 1ti atermelous should be planted not less than twelve feet apart end rows marked out so as to cultivate both ways. The larger varieties of uauskmelon should be planted eight feet apart, but the small cantaloupes, gni li as Gem, Pocky Ford and others 0i, no character, way be planted G by (3 feet with good results. Great care must be taken to meet the striped beetle at the very begin- ning of his invasion and wage unceas- ing war until plants have grown be- yond danger. Tobacco dust should• be sprinkled over and around the plants after every shower; also occasionally in the morn- ing while dew is on.. Melons should receive frequent though shallow cultivation, especially in dry weather. The one horse gar- den plow with eight or more shovels is admirable for this purpose, follow- ing at once with a light drag of suit- able length. This leaves a fine, smooth dust mulch, anti the loss of moisture is reduced to a minimum. Make fre- quent and thorough use of the hoe and regard every weed as your personal enemy. if you have never grown a melon crop before, well meaning friends will, no doubt, advise letting weeds grow after cultivation is over in order to shade melons. Take such advice gen- tly but very firmly by the neck and lead to nearest exit. It must be re- membered that melons are not a lazy man's crop, must have attention at the needed time and not three days or a week later.

Always over the head of the Arab woman hangs the shadow of divorce. Nowhere in the world does the raw so facillate the seperation of man and wife as in those lands so fittingly named the Barbary states. If an Arab grown tired of his wife's looks, or her act- ions, or her dress; if he wishes to re- place her with another; or if he is tired of married life and does not wish any wife at all, he does not need to go to the trouble or nominal expense of di- vorcing her, but gets rid of her instead by the simple process of "repudiation," which consists in saying to her, "Wom- an, get thee hence; take thy goods and go!" For the man this is a case of "Heads I win; tails you lose," for though he Is free to marry again, the woman is not and can obtain a legal release only by returning to him the money which he paid for her. Withoutherhusband's consent a woman can obtain a divorce only if she is able to prove that he beats her without sufficient provocation; if he refuses her food, clothing or shelter; or if she dis- covers a previous wooing on her hus- band's part, for all previous betrothals, of offers of marriage, even though the lady refused him, constitute grounds for divorce. In country homes the breaking o lamp chimneys often causes a great deal of bother. It will be found if one will put all new chimneys in a pail of cold water and put on the fire to boil for a couple of hours the chimney will last twice as long as the ordinary one. +++++441.4414.7443;347+++++++++++ + The Tirnes memanwtowswegail Clubbing List Times and Weekly Globe .
